By Sandra Bove
The Pomegranate Caper, a
spoof on the m3rth of Pluto and
Persephone, won the praise and
votes of the panel oi judges,
as well as the First Place A-ward
for its authoress, Win Pat-terson,
and captivated the audi-ence
last Saturday night, the final
evening of the Malverne Com-munity
Theatre's Spring Festival
of the Arts.
All the plays presented, direct-ed
under the creative genius of
Sal Zaccaro, were of the highest
professional calibre. An audience
witnessing the talented members
of this troupe could not help but
enjoy the performances of actors
who obviously took delight in por-traying
the various and versatile
parts.
Mr. Zaccaro presented a
plaque commemorating the oc-casion
to Mrs. Patterson, and a-wards
to the runners-up: 5th
Place, The Beginning, and No
End by George Salvatore; 4th
Place, The Lord is Blue, a mo-nologue
by James La Roe, a cle-ver
writer and excellent actor;
3rd Place, The Man from IBM,
a comedy by R.A. Barrett; and
2nd Place, Grave Dance by six-teen
year old William Brennan,
Jr.
A special award went to com-'
poser Carl Kolkman, whose
music score, "Gershwin Re-
Visited," delighted the audience.
The very talented Raymond Har-vey
played the piano and sang
"Plastered" and "Enthusias-tic."
With a smooth and mellow
voice, Carol Marie Johnson, sang
the ballads, "Resist Me," "Pool
Lonely One," and "My Man." Vi-brant
Robin Gerson sang, "You
Are Someone." I'm Lookin For
a He-Man Like You," and "Giv-ing
All of Myself," The three
talented young people sang
"Time" accompanied by piano
and flute. Suzie Muir and Jean
Kohut provided a lovely back-
.ground with their dancing.
Mr. Kblkman has a release
for his musical, "Candy in the
Cornfield," in Hershey, Pa. this
summer.

Lynbrook Hold-Up
By Annette Ling
Mr. Fahmi Peress of Peress
Specialty Shop, 38 Atlantic Ave-nue
was victim of one of the larg-est
hold ups involving a large
amount in Lynbrook history. Last
Saturday evening, Mr. Peress had
closed his store and his employ-ees
had g!bne home. He locked i^p
and prepared to leave by the rear
entrance which borders the For-est
A venue Parking Lot, two gun-men
were waiting at the door for
him armed with guns and ordered
him to re-open the rear entrance.
They then cleaned out his safe
of $3800 in cash and took $3500
in personal jewelry from him.
Mr. Peress stated that the men
were as tall as he is which means
they were about 5 11 or 6 foot, and
were negroes with an extremely
professional manner as well as
being armed.
His beautiful store thus joins
in being victimized by a hold up
as well as Kesselman's Jewelry
some time ago.
Mr. Peress is on the Board
of Directors of the Lynbrook
Chamber of Commerce and his
large store is one of Lynbrook's
most attractive ones.
Local merchants may all have
to work out some sort of system
where they are .not alone when
they close or some sort of pro-cedure
to protect their cash re-ceipts.
