‘Puppetry Spreads - Gospel’

By JACK GAVER

United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, May 26—The cre ation of a doll named “Flahooley’ for the musical comedy of the same name was just the begin ning detail for Bil Baird. He also had to whip up 40% puppets of assorted sizes and.has: to be on hand every performance to help operate them. |= Clyde, Mirabelle and a sexy|: Scheherazado are just three of the:

tough for the members of Actors Equity in the cast to top them.|: Even * more eye-catching is a: chorus of 12 “ponies” with the: bustiest bodies around town whose |: opening dance is almost thes show’s high point. “The chorus isn’t hard to handle as some might think,” Mr. Baird said. “There are four of us on the: strings and each handles three: of the puppets. And, of course, |: there is no stagedoor Johnny|: problem where they are con-: cerned.” 2 The 40 “Flahoolay” puppets are but a drop in the bucket for Mr.|: Baird and his wife, Cora, who: stopped being an actress 14 years : ago to marry him and the puppet: profession. There are some 600: of the wooden and plastic crea-| tures stashed away in the Baird workshop apartment.

Born In Nebraska “I can’t bring myself to get rid of one of them,” Mr. Baird exclaimed. Mr. Baird has been on his own as a puppeteer since 1934 at the World's Fair in Chicago. Before that the native Nebraskan worked for Tony Sarg to learn the business and he actually had been working with the dolls since the age of 7. In the past 15 years the Bairds have worked in stage shows in some of the largest movie houses, including the Roxy and Radio City Music Hall in New York, and in the “Ziegfeld Follies,” in addition to various night clubs. Mr. Baird has pioneered with:

A ‘Family Night at Home' Proposed by PTA Council

THE city council of parents and teachers in our town is after us parents to observe a “family night at home.” They've laid down a few rules and urge us all to follow them for one evening and see if we don’t have a wonder-

We're not just to sit around and listen to the radio

We're to do something together. Play a game the whole family can join in. Or take turns reading aloud. Or sit around a table making vacation plans. Or even to get out the old snapshot albums and relive the past a little. It's not a bad idea—not a bad idea at all. The only thing wrong with it is that the PTA has to urge us to have family fun.

» “ ~ WE ought all to be doing that anyway instead of shushing the kids while we read or listen to the radio night after night, or, if we're gadabouts, to leave them alone night after night with a sitter while we run off seeking our own adult type of enjoyment. Or, as happens in many families, just to endure each other's company evening after evening—with everybody getting on everybody else's nerves— simply because nobody has the gumption to figure out that there should be some recreation the whole family can share.

We parents should remember from our own childhood that the happiest times were when the whole family was doing something together, even if it were a project that otherwise might

Our memories, rather than the PTA, should nudge us into giving family evenings a place in our social lives. And not just evenings when the family is all at home for want of something more exciting to do—but because the family can have a wonderful time together, if someone takes the lead in thinking

JULIAN FREEMAN—A "well-rounded" man.

As a high school and college student in Chicago, he was an avid baseball and football player. While studying architecture at Crane College and the Chicago Art Institute, he earned his way by laboring in a woodworking shop. ¢ © <9 THE KNOWLEDGE came in handy during World War I. He was a field artillery lieutenant when the call went out for someone to manage a woodworking shop in France to turn out Army Cavalary saddletrees. Lt. Freeman got the post. In addition to doing a satisfactory job, he designed special machinery for turning saddlebars that caught the eye of his commanding officer, Col. Charles Roth. He returned to Chicago to work for Mr. Roth, and became superintendent of the shop. Then, in 1926, came an opportunity to manage the Aetna Cabinet Co. in Indianapolis. There was also the matter of marriage to Esther Freeman, an Indianapolis girl. It all resulted in permanent residence in the heart of Hooslerland, especially after buying the Weigel Cabinet Co. in 1833 and merging it, fn 1940, with the Aetna Co. Mr. Freeman's present business grew out of his mixture of architectural and woodworking training. “The backbone of our company is a designing service for stores and banks all over the country,” he says. ® ¢ o

“WHAT I SELL is my accumulated experience 3 in store layout=-my knowledge of design for cor- J rect merchandising, traffic control and other factors. Unlike most companies in this fleld, we refuse to survey and design free, in hope of getting the manufacturing job. We charge for our designing work.”

Freeman Co. showcases and fixtures are found throughout L. 8. Ayres & Co., J. C, Penney Co., L. Strauss & Co, H. P. Wasson & Co., and in many smaller stores in Indianapolis,

Additionally, Freeman Co. produces sample panels for paint companies and has two orders for wooden lockers for the armed forces.

Mr. Freeman also is treasurer for Norben, Inc., which stamps out nearly a million aluminum cups monthly at its factory, 1012 E. 21st St. He has a daughter, Janet, 21, who works in his office at the Freeman Co. And he has no ulcers—not one.
