Read Service

The First Presbyterian Church in Napoleon, O., will be the scene at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon of the marriage of Miss Dorothy Strong, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William F. Strong, Williams Creek, and Seward E. Wilshere. Mr. Wilshere is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Coral Wilshere, Skaneateles, N. Y. Dr. J. Ambrose Dunkel, former pastor at the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church, will read the service before an altar banked with

palms and baskets of spring flowers. Miss Strong will be attended by Miss Marthellen Ratcliff of Indianapolis and Mr. Wilshere by his brother, Carlton Wilshere of Skaneateles. Given in marriage by her father, Miss Strong will wear a long gown of white silk jersey, made with a heavy lace yoke, cap sleeves and a skirt shirred at the waist. The bride will wear a fingertip veil falling from a tiara of seed pearls and will carry a bouquet of bridal roses. Her attendant will have pink roses and delphinium with a blue crepe gown and a large white hat. Mrs. Strong, mother of the bride, will wear a white embroidered silk Jersey dress with a matching picture hat and a corsage of gardenias. Following a wedding dinner at the Hotel Wellington, Mr. and Mrs. Wilshere will leave on a wedding trip and will be at home after July 1 in Goshen. The bride's traveling costume will be a white silk jersey dress with a blue jacket, a large white hat and a corsage of gardenias. iy Among the out-of-town guests will be Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Voegtle, Mrs. E. A. Strong Sr. and Mrs. Charles’ Youngman of Indianapolis and Miss Evelyn Wilshere of Skaneateles, N. Y.

Southern accent, “but Larry : tells me I ‘didn’t. Anyway I retired when I married. That was in Chicago in November, 1939.” “November 18th,” volunteered Mr. Fletcher. * : “No, dear, it was November 8th,” she continued. “Don’t you remember?” . - - “Don’t look at me. I won't corroborate your testimony,” he said. “It was raining and I got lonesome.” ! Two summers before that in 1938 the couple had met. in the same stock company in Nantucket, Mass. The Fletchers are planning a vacation trip. First they will visit Mrs. Fletcher's mother in Richmond. From there they will go to Indianapolis to visit Mr. Fletcher's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Howe of Forest Hills, and his sister, Mrs. Henry D. Ridgeley of the Winter Apartments. This summer Mr. Fletcher will appear in Denver at Elitch’'s Gardens. He says it is the last remaining genuine stock company left in the country. “Most so-called stock companies these days promise the actors about $40, a handful of oranges, and a Coca Cola bottle top for their services during the summer,” he said. “Elitch’s Gardens pays honest salaries. We will present a number of the current Broadway releases while in Denver.” t 4 » ”

DURING THE PAST WINTER Mr. Fletcher has been doing radio parts for both the networks. In the fall he. played in “The Roman-

tic Mr. Dickens” with Diana Barrymore. On the whole, he says, it has been a very slow winter. When I asked him about Hollywood, he said, “Sure, I'm interested in Hollywood at $5000 a week! You bet. I should love to go to Hollywood for $25 a week.” He feels there is more opportunity in the movie capital for an actor to do his best, because of the system of retakes. “On the stage there are exactly two hours and a half to make good and there are no retakes,” he said. “The actor has four weeks of rehearsals and then the opening night. It’s up to him to make the most of it.” On the wall of the Fletchers’ apartment are a number of pictures of Katharine Cornell, “Miss Kitty” as they call her. “There is not a finer person and actress today than Miss Kitty,” said Mr. Fletcher. . “She is without question the most gracious human being that ever walked on two feet. Guthrie McClintic, her husband, is a theatrical genius. His ability as a producer coupled with hers as an actress makes an unforgetable combination. You can no more think of them separately than you can think of bacon without an egg.” Mr. Fletcher first met Miss Cornell when he was playing with Ruth

March in Candida. She came back-}

NEW YORK, June 13—Every actor has but one really vulnerable spot, according to Lawrence Fletcher, and his,

he believes, is his general and I regard it strictly as that,” the

former Indianapolis actor said as we talked recently in his apartment at

“Not a very ethereal attitude, but

quite practical. I'm just like Farmer Joe. When I'm in a play, I eat my dinner at 6:30, go to the factory, do my job, and then relax”

you, but I'm Katharine Cornell. I think we have a part for you in our next play. Here's a letter of introduction to- my husband.” : Consequently Mr. Fletcher played with Miss Cornell in “Herod and Marianne” and “No Time for Comedy” from May, 1939 to May, 1640. During the summer of that year he played the leading role in “No Time for Comedy” in various summer theaters. Part of the time Helen Craig, now starring ih “Johnny Belinda” was his leading lady. Part of the time Sylvia Sidney played opposite him. = = 2 HE HOPES EVENTUALLY to become a director. “I'd like to direct, when I can no longer be an actor,” he said. “When the time comes that I can no longer get a job acting because of my gray and my flat feet, then I'll turn to directing.” He got’ his early theatrical training in the Little Theater in Indianapolis under George Somnes.

Previously he had attended Wabash College. Through Mr. Somnes he was introduced to Stuart Walker who signed him up to play the part of Spike Hoyt in: Eliot Nugent's “The Poor: Nut.” After playing in the original performance of the

show in Indianapolis, Mr. Fletcher

developed scarlet fever. “When I recovered I had to be satisfied with a part as an extra in the show,” he said. “The following year I played the part of Spike Hoyt again, when the show was on the road.” After that Mr. Fletcher appeared in a number of plays until he was signed up for two years by the Theater Guild. He played in. Paris with the Paris. American Players and upon his return he appeared in a number of successful shows including “Sailor Beware,” “Boy Meets Girl,” and “Merely Murder.” He played the part of the Earl of Warwick, the “Ringmaker,” in Orson Welles production, “Five Kings.”
