Exhibits were devoted to memorabilia of performers Rose Levine, Tony Bondi and twins Susan and Ruth Freedner. Paul Jablonski displayed part of his vast collection of works by Cherry Grove artists. There were photos of the Grove immediately after the devastating hurricane of September 1938; of Duffy's Hotel, predecessor of the Grove Hotel; and of the House of Orange, the original Belvedere. Historic house and business signs were on view. Programs, posters and photos from Arts Project of Cherry Grove shows, going back to the first revue, "Cherry Grove Follies of 1948," directed by Earl Blackwell and starring Peggy Fears, who had been an actual Ziegfeld Girl, and Irene Gerodette, Postmistress and mother of current Postmistress Jeanne Skinner, were all available for our perusal.   FERRY SCHEDULE Cherry Grove, F.I.
