NOW co ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXlN
During the remainder of the
week Marcia busted herself with
plans for the Saturday night party
celebrating Dorothy OSborn'S
chance on the Broadway stage.
She decided, with Helen WaddeIl,
whose help she had enlisted. TO de-
liver the invitations by telephone.
and together they made out the
list.
First, of course. the other MEM
bers OF the cast of "Half-Acre in
Eden" Then the committees which
had shared in producing the play,
and after that the rest of the
membership Of the Stagecraft
Guild. Thus the total Guild men,
bership of nearly 200 was on the
list of prospective guests, and,
though some would probably be
unable TO attend. Marcia decided
10 invite no outsiders, since even
Philip Canfield's spacious home
had its limits.
Yet. as she and Helen COM
menced the tedious task of tele-
phoning each name on the list It
was not long before Marcia had
made an exception. The name
bradford was. OF course, near the
top, and Marcia was soon talking
with Joan.
