COME IN AND BROWSE I 414-1794S5S DAILY *30-5:00 SAT. I. SUN. 930-2 CLOSED TUES. Creative Living Series Hosts Lively P.R. Director Bouncy Lucia Perrigo meets everyone from the King of Belgium to beatnik poets - and gets paid for it! She will entertain the audience assembled for the third Creative Living Series in the Woodstock Opera House Jan. 19, with lively reminiscences of her enjoyable work as public relations director for the Ambassador hotels. Miss Perrigo interviews celebrities, plans luncheons (she helped with one for Queen Elizabeth II), takes feature pictures, dreams up promotions, runs press conferences, writes releases and has her finger on all important events in the hotels. One of the most exciting of her jobs was planning for celebrity dining at the famous Booth One in the Pump room which she called "the hottest seat in America" where she has seen the important people of the show business world come and go. Miss Perrigo, a graduate of Northwestern university, is founder of the Sarah Siddons society. She and the late hotelman James Hart felt that since the hotels catered to show people it should do something to promote theater. The winners have included Helen Hayes, Shirley Booth, Nancv KeUy, Beatrice Lillie, and Florence Henderson. Her big talent is making news. "The best way to learn what makes news is to put in time on a newspaper, especially at the city desk", continued Miss Perrigo, who spent several years in the city room of the old Chicago Examiner. She feels that public relations is an excellent field for women - particularly in promoting " d e p a r t m e n t s t o r e s , r e s t a u r a n t s , h o t e l s , entertainment, radio and TV, and fashion. Such opportunities for women are growing, she said. Generally, Miss Perrigo said, a top female press agent can earn up to $25,000 a year. Good English is a must for a "p.r." job, she said and so is taste. "It's as important to know what to keep out of the papers as what to put in", she explained. What kind of a woman does Miss Perrigo think is a born press agent? She laughed and said, "One who has the strength of a horse, the hide of an elephant and the imagination of P.T . Barnum". The general public is invited to all the Creative Living Series ims which are sponsored the Woodstock Fine Arts association. They are held in the beautifully „ renovated historic Woodstock Opera House on the Woodstock city square at 10 a.m. Coffee will be served, as usual, before the Jan. 19 program at 9 a.m. HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS Install Plumbing, Heating Officers At Dinner Dance Officers of the Plumbing and H e a t i n g c o n t r a c t o r s association of Lake and McHenry counties will be formally installed in office at the group's annual installation of officers dinner dance at the Holiday Inn, Mundelein^ Saturday, Jan. 21.
