readings entitled: "When Com
pany Comes" and "Orphan An
nie" by James Whitcomb Riley.

for the progress that had been
made during the years and the
hope that the chapter would
continue to grow and prosper.
Talks were given by many of
the past officers including re
marks from Mrs. Edward Faber,
president of the Past Matrons
club and Mrs. Warren Norcross,

of greeting was read from Mrs.

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.
