Marcy Wescott's Ability Lauded In New York City Of interest to her many friends in Medford. particularly in the ranch colony, is the news from New York regarding Miss Marcy Wescott, a frequent guest in the valley. Miss Wescott will play the leading feminine role in "Too Many Girls", the new Rodgers and Hart musical comedy which George Abbott wil present at tho Imperial. . Miss Wescott has the part of Consuelo Casey, pop ular co-ed on the football-frantic campus of Pottawatomie college. A New York critic writes, "Rodgers, Hart and Abbott all were sold on Miss Wescott's suitability for the role because she had won huzzas for this trio last season in their musical, 'The Boys From Syracuse'. As further identification, Marcy Wescott is the girl who sang 'This Can't Be Love', the song hit of the show, which became a favorite all over the country." The critic, in a newspaper write-up, went on to say, "at 20 Miss Wescott is well on her way. Only three years ago she shun ned the idea of Broadway and thought she could remain in her native Chicago until she was ready for grand opera. Her teacher, Mine. Hanna Butler, agreed with her on that score, but the fates, backed by motion picture scouts and theatrical managers, had other plans for the talented youngster." A beautiful blonde with an ex ceptionally true and resourceful soprano. Miss Wescott has stud ied both at home and abroad and speaks three languages. Miss Wescott used to visit her aunt here, Mrs. Lillian Salade and a few years ago, when a mere miss of 15, gave a song re oital one evening at the Salade home, Seven Oaks, to about fifty guests. The talented young lady also recently sang in the fashionable Monte Carol night club and be came one of the first actresses used to advance television.
