Mrs. A. C. Heimerdinger, cluir-‘ man of the program committee, says that Miss Wffltyinreeocni:ed‘ by critics as one df America‘s foreâ€" | most exponents of the art of monoâ€" drama and states that her appearâ€" ance here is one of the outstandâ€" ing events on the club‘s calendar. The monodrama, as presented by Miss Welty, though enacted by a single person and carried by a single voice, gives the effect of a stage play, for acting, costuming and stage setting are part of her performance. Miss Welty writes and produces her own plays each one of which represents months of research into.the lives of those she portrays. The adventurous life of Nellic Bly, a young newspaper woman at the turn of a century, coupled with the dramatic talents of the artist promise a most deâ€" lightful program. % In addition to her work as a monologist, Miss Welty starred in Max Heinhardt‘s California proâ€" duction of "The Miracle" and has played leading roles in many stock productions.
