FILM NIGHT: “SPRING PARADE”
Spring was in the air, if not quite everywhere, when we gathered to view the Club’s latest film
offering. It was a real charmer, set in old-time Vienna, with Deanna Durbin in top vocal form,
and lovely old songs – “Waltzing in the Clouds”, “When April Sings”, “It’s Foolish but It’s Fun”,
all by Robert Stolz, and “The Blue Danube” by the “Waltz King” Johann Strauss. Sterling support was
provided by Robert Cummings, S.Z. Sakall (known as “(Cuddles)”, Anne Gwynne, Mischa Auer and Henry Stephen. The scenery, settings and costumes wereimpressive – and would have looked even more so in colour, no doubt; the plot was diverting, and kept us all entertained. Once again Paddy Kelly did the honours as projectionist. A splendid supper followed, prepared by Eileen Murphy and
Tommy Ward, and we hummed our way home in the afterglow.
