You will hear from two special guests, Charles J. Smith, superintendent of the Petrified Forest National Monument and Nick Janios, manager of that famous movie restaurant, the

Cafe de Perri at 20th Century Fox Studios. Our music is directed by Louis Silvers with our entire production in the hands of that master showman, Ladies and Tefleman, Mr. Cecil V. DeMille. James from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, the city of Baltimore gave us the Star Spangled Banner.

It also gave us a Star Spangled group of theatrical personalities who assembled there just five years ago under the banner of the university players. At that time, they were an unknown collection of stage struck youngsters intent on making good.

Their leading man was Henry Fonda, and there are Janu, a little miss from Virginia named Margaret Sullivan. They remained in Baltimore 17 weeks, employed by an optimistic producer who paid them $10 a week and meals.

This year, as the star of stage door, Margaret Sullivan returned to the same city and to the same theatre, rounding out a five-year campaign and a burst of glorious success. When Margaret was in college, her English professor returned an essay she had written with a brief but uncompromising comment, for Heaven's sake, stop acting.
