PAGE EIGHT * THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA FINAL CCNCERT OF JCA TO BE GIVEN ON NEXT MONDAY Dorothy Crawford, Mono- logist, to Appear at 20th Century Theatre The Juneau Con Inc, will pr on May 19, P the 20th Cent monologist, Dorothy (F ture above). This is the third and final concert in the spring seri Miss Crawford was born in Portland, Oregon. Her early school- ing in San Francisco brought out unusual writing ability and later she went to New York to develop under the tuition of Rubin Gold- berg her very marked talent for musical composition. It was when she was engaged to direct the mu- sic for a group in experimental acting that she discovered her dramatic ability. She played many roles, ranging from the heaviest of tragedy to the lightest of com- edy, with equal success. After this her ultimate career began to un- fold and her writing, her music and her acting converged into a unique one-woman entertainment. Ten Different Characters She played ten widely different characters the night of her debut in San Francisco, and the critics were unanimous in their praise But the young artist was anything but satisfied and mapped out for herself certain months in which to fill engagements, leaving others free for study, research and writ- ing. Miss Crawford has until recent- ly confined her appearances main- ly to the Pacific Coast, including annual return engagements. How- ever, as the result of her first transcontinental tour, she now fills engagements from coast to coast each season and has established herself on the London stage. Dorothy Crawford has that abil- ity, given to few, to see life with a penetrating eye and then to recreate it so tellingly that the theatre seems to disappear and the audience finds itself completely transported.
