'Guys and Dolls' a recommended evening

By BILL SPURGEON Gamblers, missionaries and similar people of the night populate “Guys and Dolls,” the durable musical comedy that is currently running at the Enchanted Hills bam theater east of Lake Wawasee. It’s the theater’s last traditional offering for adults in its abbreviated 1979 season under new managing director Jill Stover of Nappanee; a one-night stand erf a musical production called “Dancevent” is slated August 25, and a final show fenkids, “Sir Slob and the Princess," will be given the same day. “Guys and Dolls” is the story of Sky Masterson and Nathan Detroit and their gambling friends and what becomes of them when Sarah Brown and Arvide Abernathy and their gentle missionaries set up shop in their New York city neighborhood. The show is based on a story and characters by Damon Runyon, and Runyonesque charaters never grow tiresome. “Guys and Dolls” also has some of the prettiest music found in a stage show, by tunesmith Frank Loesser. The book is by Joe Swerling and Abe Burrows. Suzanne Johnson is a winsome Sarah Brown, and Ray McGrath a winning Sky Masterson. They make a happy combination in “Guys and Dolls,” as do John Corona as Nathan Detroit and Pam Custer as Adelaide, his longsuffering ladyfriend. Competent in supporting roles are Dave Kiefer as Arvide Abernathy, Jeff Franke as Nicely-Nicely Johnson, Judy Miller as the overwhelming Gen. Matilta Cartwright, Bernie Mishler as the police lieutenant, and Rich Biever, Jeff Schmahl, Mike Algate. Charlie Taylor,

Old Jones Hotel had entertainment

The first public house of entertainment. a hotel, at the lake was the Jones Hotel, located just east of Willow Grove. It was opened for business in September 1881. It was built by Abram M. Jones, who was born in 1842, at Lancaster, Pa., of Welsh ancestry. He moved to Mansfield, Ohio, where he enlisted in the Second Ohio Cavalry during the Civil War. In 1875, he came to Syracuse with his wife, the former Mary Duff, and his two sons. They had a daughter. Anna, and a third son, Wilmot, bom later. He tad been a mechanical engineer with the B. & O. Railroad in Mansfield, and later in Syracuse. The hotel was immediately a success. The rooms were comfortable and the food good. To enhance the enjoyment of his patrons and other visitors to the lake, Turkey Lake it was called then, Mr. Jones went to Chicago and purchased a substantial tug, brought it via B. & O. to the

Srover, artistic designer; and Kent Lawson, director of the pit orchestra. The sets are imaginative and workable, although Enchanted Hills suffers from a lack of stage elbow-room. All in all. “Guys and Dolls” is a recommended evening’s entertainment. It continues this week Wednesday through Sunday nights, with curtain time at 8 nightly except Saturday, when it is 8.30.

railway bridge over the channel between the two lakes, launched it. and floated it to Jones’s Landing. Here it was cut in two, a center section added and the craft named Anna Jones in honor of his daughter. This served his needs for five or six years then it became too small. A second vessel was purchased with the same name. It was 76 feet long and capable of holding 100 people; it became the largest steamer ever to ride the waters of Wawasee. The pilot of the boat was a husky son. Jim, while another son. Admiral Paul, familiarly known as Dot. became the engineer and fireman. In back of the hotel was a bam where many of the lake’s sailing craft were kept, most of them designed for a coterie of friends by Dr. Harry S. Hicks, then of Indianapolis. The flat-bottomed scows, La Cigale and Margaret, were built there followed by Kelfin, the lake’s first fin keel, with cigar-shaped ballast weighing several hundred pounds. After the Kelfin was launched. Dr. Hicks offered Jim Jones $25 if he could capsize the boat. Jim accepted the challenge and in a few days took the boat out in a storm feeling the money had already been won. The Kelfin would tip far enough to spill the wind from the sails and then bob up again. The Jones Hotel was sold to Mr. M. E. Crow of Elkhart, in 1920. Mr. and Mrs. Jones passed away in 1929 and 1930.
