CHRONICLE
With his lyrics that satirize the rich, powerful and social of New York and Washington, CHRISTOPHER MASON might seem an incongruous choice for Purim party entertainment. But at the masked Purim Ball of the Jewish Museum at the Waldorf-Astoria on Tuesday night, Mr. Mason, a performer and composer, will do songs about Queen Esther. She was the Jewish wife of the King of Persia, and she saved the Jews there from the hand of the wicked Haman. At our first meeting, the ladies of the committee looked at me curiously over their spectacles, Mr. Mason, who is often compared with Noel Coward, said yesterday after singing a sample of his songs over the phone. I could see they were wondering if I could pull it off. Yesterday, I sang the songs for the committee, and they were overjoyed. I was greatly relieved.
