Notes:
"Mysterious Doings in Rinso Bleach" was put on by teenager children of Stinson Beach Rec. Center located at the present Avilla's Barn where surf shop is. (3448 Shoreline Hwy). Probably, all or part of Three Fat Sisters direction. The show was held at "The Red Whale" restaurant at the night time in front of big enthusiastic town audiences. The building started as the surfer club in 1940s was quite run down and changed hands becoming the Latitude 38 Bar. It was later torn down to make the room for the Stinson Beach County Water District building.
The cabaret style play was full of what was going on in Stinson Beach (Rinso Bleach) in comical satires including identifiable town hippies, Seadrifters and residents. Probably because of it, John Grissim, the writer, never wanted to get the deserved credit nor replay it. (TA)
