Miss Breton was accompanied by
Miss Betty Baker, while Mr.. Hack

Miss Breton was the favorite of the
evening. An artist in every sense of
the word, she carried her audience
along with her, by her charming
personality. and her brillianee as
,i0linist. Each number was well re-
ceiVed, especially the First Move

with organizations like the Phila-

ter her performance in the Plaza

thing many artists strive for. but
never acquire. II was unfortunate
