In mid-May we went to see the
Lafayette, Louisiana Little Theatre presentation of "Boys in the
Band." (The movie had been banned in Beaumont), we enjoyed" the
play and later the cast and director were very cordial.
Since seeing the play we have
been informed that Joe Demorulle
who played Michael so very well
was selected best actor, Harris
Settly Jr., best supporting actor
for his role of Emory and Miss
Lillette Rene' as director of the
year. Wes and I want to put in
our congratulations and say the
entire cast was excellent.
We are happy to say that now
in the Lafayette area "Chez Gis-
ele" and "C'est LaGueree" are
handling the NUNTIUS. -- "Mothers" in Lake Charles as well
as the "Off Main" in Beaumont.
Bits and pieces of news from
there --- Congratulations to Ken
and Charity St. James on their
4th anniversary, June 2. Miss
Birdie, a local drag "lady" --
has joined the US Merchant Marine.
By the time this goes to press
Mother Pat should be thawed from
her trip to Chicago and can put
her furs back in storage.
In a city as large as Houston
its not uncommon for bars to
come and go daily and monthly
but we are saddened to learn that
a well known plush private club
has closed its doors in Lake
Charles, "the Misty". We wish
to thank Genie and Lynn for the
many pleasant evenings we've spent
at the "Misty" and hope them the
best in their new venture. -- A
'' straight'' club, and we won't
mention the name here!
In closing we want to throw in
a brain twister for the Beaumont
group -- "What two well known
female impersonators will perform in a 'straight' style show in
your area?" -- If you can't guess
or don't know - watch next month
pictures yet.
Wes and Glen
