After dessert, an artistic- ally decorated cake by Jean Stein- metz, the girls all squeezed into Joan Walter's car to go to Leona Dasta's new movie theater.

Leona, who was in the lobby when they arrived, remarked that Dolly Dock and Shelley Fenger still bring their lunches to the Saturday matinees.
