Talented Actress Coming To American Fork Mary Hutchinson, talented young American actress and Broadway star, will present her unique program, "Dramatk Portraits" Por-traits" on April 10 at the tabernacle taber-nacle under the auspices of La-Tona La-Tona Concert Association. Visualize pale Ophelia manipu lating alathe, or frail Juliet weildlng a hammer and saw, and you get, a rough Idea of the effort ef-fort that went Into Mary Hutchinson's Hutch-inson's one-woman show, For the diminutive actress had to turn carpenter to create a "magic box" portable dressing room which is an Integral part of her unorthodox performance. Its translucent walls keep the audience aud-ience Informed of the costume changes that . transform Miss Hutchinson from one character Uy another- When he conceived the Idea of presenting glimpses of heroines from famous dramas ! and from -history i- part of -her problem was to eliminate long absences from the stage. A "between "be-tween scenes" narrative was the result, spoken .during. the cost tuinev-changesv To set up the props requires an hour and a half for each performance. per-formance. Each veil, each wig, each zlppered costume, each hairpin must be In Its appointed place. As Lady Macbeth, the five-foot-two, 100 pound actress gives the impression,-of tall-ma-' Jesty. She enacts the entire scene on tiptoe. As Juliet she appears to be a littte girl. Mary Hutchinson began dancing danc-ing at 4, and has been dancing and acting In plays ever since. Her first professional appearance was In "The Vanities" on Broad-.way Broad-.way at 16. She was the Ingenue In the revival of "The Yellow Jacket" with Charles Coburn and the late Ivah Wills Coburn with whom she has appeared in many productions..

This statement, by Noble Hun-saker, Hun-saker, Brlgham City, president of the Utah Sugar Beet Association, was made this week. The Federal Government has established a sugar beet goal for Utah of 50,250 acres for this year, and has established a price of a dollar a ton more for beets than was paid In 1945, according to Mr. Hunsaker. Now, the first step to reach that goal Is up to the farmers themselves, he added. "One of the most Important things Is Jor farmers to deter mine how many acres of beets they can grow this year and sign a contract at once..-.The.. labor program of the government has to be planned a long way In advance. ad-vance. The earlier we get our total acreage, sign-up completed. so- we wil know Just how many extra laborers we will need to help us handle our crop this year, the better off well be.M Mr. Hunsaker also pointed out the advantages of early preparation prepara-tion of soil and early planting to produce high yields. I . Farm labor . surveys .indicate that there will b enough local labor to do 97 per cent of all the farm work In Utah In 1949, according ac-cording to Morris Taylor, Logan, Emergency Farm Labor director for the state. The Extension Farm Labor program will emphasize the recruiting re-cruiting of local labor this year, said Mr. Taylor, Mexican Na tionals and prisoners of war will be available to supplement local labor. Utah has requested 1200 prisoners pri-soners of war and 1800 Mexican Nationals. Allocations of both prisoners of war and Mexican Nationals will be made In. a few days. ' ,f.. In order to obtain labor for sugar beets this year, Mr. Taylor advises growers to decide how many acres they .can grow this year and sign their contracts at once. The next step, according to Taylor, is to make their needs known immediately to their county labor committee. "As farmers generally know, we work through these county labor committees, who have to make an estimate of their needs and asume certain obligations toward this labor, but If we don't know how many acres of beets or other crops are going to be planted, these committees can't make their sommitments." Local Scoutors Celebrate Silver Jubilee As a result of considerable interest in-terest on the part of local men, Harold H. Jensen, president of the Utah Sons of Pioneers,, has sent word that he will be v to American Fork In the near future to effect an organization. All eligible men are Invited ,to . be considering joining. Descendants of pioneers who reached Utah before the advent of the railroad In May, 1869, are eligible. Details as to time and place will be announced at a later date.
