"THE DESK SET" PROVES POPULAR WITH AUDIENCES "^Vhen the curtain goes up. you come out acting!" This famed saying of the theatre is the motto of one of the most honored actresses of our times, Shirley Booth, who begins her third week at the Harris theatre, Chicago, in her Broadway stage success, "The Desk Set," a comedy by William Marchant. Her present role in "The Desk Set" gives her full opportunity to exercise her magnificent talent for comedy. "It is the type of comedy that leaves audiences happy," says Miss Booth, who achieved stardom after 40 and has won practically every prize awarded for stage and screen excellence. "In New York, observes reported that peoDle leaving the theatre after seeing this comedy were* invariably smiling at one another It's wonderful to be able to put audience into a good humor. . "In The Desk Set' we have ho message. We just tell the story of what happens hi ofte office and what could happen in any office It is the perfect play for anyone who has ever worked in or around an office." Miss Booth, a warm and gracious person, can remember no time when she was not stagestruck. She played in summer stock as a child and had become an ingenue by the time she was 15. She had her first role on Broadway by the time she was 20 . Producers and directors were surprised that such a young girl was a seasoned trouper. With her background she soon progressed to leads and such memorable roles as the caustic photographer in "The Philadelphia Story" and the older sister in "My Sister Eileen." After "Come Back, Little Sheba," she received the coveted Donaldson Award and the Perry Award. She starred in the motion picture version and promptly won the Academy Award for the best acting of the year. Returning to the stage she delighted countless thousands with her portrayals in "The Time of the Cuckoo" and musicals like1; "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" and "By The Beautiful Sea" Performances nightly except Sunday, with matinees on W&jfei nesday and Saturday. «/> VILLA NURSING HOME ON PISTAKEE BAI, NEAR McHENKl Home for the Aqed SENILE . . . .
