Talent Booked for Big Parish Penny Sale and Entertainment Aug. 4-This Day in Norwood History-July 21, 1949

THE “THREE KOYAS” who have top billing on the star-studded vaudeville and entertainment program to be held at St Catherine’s Church school grounds in connection with the gigantic Parish Penny Sale on Thurs , August 4.

The committee in charge of arrangements for the Gala Penny Sale to be conducted by St. Catherine’s Parish on Thursday, August 4 is leaving nothing undone to make it one of the outstanding events of the summer season.

In addition to the Penny Sale itself with its 600 valuable prizes and the very attractive attendance price of $5.00 there will be a star-studded program of top-notch entertainment and fun. Several acts of vaudeville have already been obtained.

Top-billing in the program goes to the “Three Koyas”. This act comprises two men and a young girl in a sensational risky foot juggling and tumbling routine. This act has thrilled audiences in this country and on the Continent, and for several seasons was a feature act with Ringling Brothers Circus.

Rivaling the Koyas audience appeal will be Ferrari and DeCosta, one of America’s leading musical acts. The musical team has appeared in the finest theaters and hotels in the country and several times has been featured at Radio Music Hall in New York.

Adding fun and comedy to the evening will be Potas and Folsom who two years ago were the main attraction at the Parish Reunion. The Committee feels that these and other acts will add zest and merriment to the evening. Over 6000 seats will be available and there is no admission charge.
