Ordained Minister

She married DR.. Krebbs eight
years after she met him and he
was ordained a minister in the
Episcopal Church.
She left the stage TO travel
with him but five years later
she accepted the role of Mae
Vests mother in The Wicked
Age in movies and then never
retired again.
Marjorie said she felt the $50
performances she gave as the
mother in Dead End kept her
sanity for she opened in that
play Just week after her hus-
bands death.
While Marjorie is at her best
in hard-boiled characterizations

She can play sympathetic
roles with the best Of them, as
she did in Shepherd of the
