The anonymity of the night visi- tor is carefully guarded, only the cld gardener, who is in charge of the votive temple, knows his iden- tity. Joyce Hayward Cleveland’s “little theater,” the ‘Play House, is well known through- out the United States as a cradle for would-be actors and actresses. Hopefuls come from all corners of the United States for early train- ing. Among the most promising of actresses now at the “little the- ater” is pretty Joyce Hayward, 19, of Santa Fe, N. M.
