Mrs. Larry Johns Reviews “Harriet Beecher Stowe” Play For Anaheim Ebell Club Holding her audience spellbound Mrs. Larry Johns well known play reviewer, completely captivated the attention of members of the Anaheim Ebell club on Monday afternoon when they gathered at the clubhouse to hear her discourse on “Theater News and Play Reviews.” With simple dignity and charming informality she touched on the highlights of this season’s theater and dwelt at length on Helen Hayes new play “Harriet Beecher Stowe” which is the story of the famous author of the ever beloved “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Mrs. Johns had attended the opening night of the play in New York city and consequently was able to give a highly vivid, first hand account of the drama. She had previously appeared before the club in a “one woman” dramatization of “Lady in the Dark.” The afternoon program was opened at the 1 o’clock luncheon that was under the joint chairmanship of Mrs. Leo Friis and Mrs. J. F. Guthrie. The exquisite decorations were planned by Mrs. George Greder and Mrs. M. L. Fort and included attractive arrangements of fall grasses of pinewood and small pine cones. In addition the speaker’s table was centered with one huge red candle and many small Santa Claus candles. The same theme of pinewood and cones was carried Cafeteria Dinner Increases Church Building Fund The “new building fund” of the First Presbyterian church was greatly enlarged Monday night as a result of the cafeteria dinner served to the members and friends of the church.

Following the dinner special music was provided by students of the Fremont school and the Anaheim Union high school under the direction of Ted Bourne.
