CALL TO ORDER

Patriotic Motif Set For Dinner By BETH MOHR Pleasant hospitality in a striking party setting and a story of a struggle to Keep this country free will be combined at "The Gallant Hours" film pre- miere and dinner on May 17. Sponsored by the University of San Diego Aux- lliary, the premiere at 8:15 p.m. at the Fox Theater will be preceded by a black tie dinner party in the Caribbean Room of. El Cortez Hotel. Dinner at 7 p.m. will follow a 6 p.m. social hour. Decorations for the dinner and at the theater will fea,ture patrotic motifs in keeping with the motion picture story of Adm. William F. Halsey's years as Naval commander in the South Pacific during World War Il. The picture tells of the struggle for victory through the character of Halsey and his men rather than through scenes of battle, Mrs. Carlos J. Ta- vares,( p~emiere chairman, disclosed. "It 1s a ory of patriotism as we, as Americans, believe in it, and as we want our children to recog- nize it," she said. " 'The Gallant Hours' is a stirring account of the cour;i.ge, selflessness, honor and love of country of Adm. Halsey and of those who were with him in the South Pacific, of their unity 1n struggling toward a common goal." Mrs. Tavares praised the production by Robert Montgomery and the performance of James Cag- ney in the leading role. A red, white and blue color scheme will be used In decorations at the dinner and theater. Shields- of carnations in the American colors will flank the sage of the Caribbean Room at dinner time. A tropical garden scene to be created on the st e will be a reminder of the setting of the pic- ture. Red, w ite and blue pennants and flags will fly from the theater marquee and decorate the lobby and auditorium. Arrangements of carnations in the patriotic motif will add to the color of the lobby decor. The sponsorship of the premiere also is in the American tradition of individuals and groups help- ing to support institutions of higher learning. Pro- ceeds from the event will be contributed to the University of San Diego's library and student loan funds and to assist in meeting needs for the science laboratory, Mrs. Tavares explained. Working toward the success of the dinner and premiere are the 375 members of the auxiliary who _______.:_
