Report of meetings : February 24, 1949

Description: page 3 In: Rotary Club of Manila. The Rotary Balita No. 613 to 623Summary: The luncheon held at the Movietec Studios last Feb. 24th, was definitely not "Ladies' Day." For once the song dedicated to "my blue-eyed Rotary Ann" was not sang. There was enough glamour sprinkled all over the place to explain the sudden appearance of long ears and long fangs that out of nowhere sprang from the caverns of hidden frustration, not to mention, deliberate disguise. Splendid host was jolly old fellow Tony Anton who should be fined for so cleverly winning a good piece of subtle publicity with all his hospitable efforts. First came an introduction of Movietec's actors, actresses and officials, then followed a scholarly exposé of the improved sound and vision technique that the studio is supposed to have mastered. Those two Japanese comedians performed their character roles again and of course we should mention Bimbo Danao who is just waiting for some enterprising Rotarian to manage him and convert his golden voice into gold. Thanks to Jaycee Joe Tabora who took care of all the preparation, and congratulations to emotionally-matured Rotarians to whom, in spite of gleaming eyes and wolf whistles (suppressed), the day was only a rare chance of clean, boyish roguish fun.

The Rotary Balita no. 616 (March 10, 1948)
