Guiding the destiny of this community - wide, juvenile venture is Miss Queenie Smith, former Broadway musical comedy star now recognized as one of the country's outstanding coaches of young talent. Having started her professional career as a teenage premiere danseuse with the Metropolitan Opera Company, Queenie went on to new triumphs in the musical theatre in such shows as Vincent Youman's "Hit The Deck," George Gershwin's "Tip Toes," and others; then came on to Hollywood to appear in over two dozen major films including 'Show Boat,' "Snake Pit," "Sweet Smell of Success," etc. In explaining the purpose of the Orange County Performing Arts Foundation, which she directs, Queenie stresses the fact that it is a non-profit enterprise primarily designed to inculcate in youngsters an early interest in the theatre, and to encourage those with talent and dramatic ambitions. touch with top professionals and see the theatre from the ground-up," said Queenie. Plans for future productions will be measured by the public support for the initial series. Miss Smith said.
