Margaret Truman Daniel Displays New Assurance Helping Her Husband Shirley Jones Adds To Beauty Of 'Show Boat' By MARY BELL DALLAS, Aug. new star brings fresh beauty to an old favorite "Show Boat" the final 1956 presentation of the State Fair Musicals.

Sh BV PHYLLIS BATTELLE SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21 Truman Daniel, working stiff, is Ihc pluckiest "copy girl" ever to cart coffee to a sagging clump of newsmen until 6 o'clock In the morning. She is especially plucky. Considering she isn't getting paid, and her work hours- are punctuated with nothing more stimulating than an occasional sip of the brew from the cardboard container belonging to her husband, Clifton Daniel, special correspondent.

"I guess it's love," she says. I'd pa May Object And there is no one, ecept possibly papa, who could object to her working this hard in behalf of the clear reporting of a Republican National Convention. Margaret is a Democrat by heritage and a Republican by environment. She is being forced presently to brush elbows with men her father would scarcely talk to, in stern times like these and she is looking fresher and more enthusiastic than Leonard Hall In a discussion of Ike's prospects. Like all the other lady working stiffs here assembled, Margaret is working the dirvish time schedule.

She operates out of a small Now Vork Times workroom in a hotel basement. Maybe she's better dressed than the rest of us.

For the first time since she married she's had a chance to prove that when Daniel caught her eye and her hand, he caught them for earnest, and neither sleet nor storm nor political gossip is going to keep her from her appointed duties as helpmate, Margaret Truman, before her marriage, was an ambitious career girl.

She was both thwarted and helped in her ambitions by a U.S. President for a father, and always she was in the position of being labeled a "professional free-loader." I am sure she would have liked it the other way. She would not have gone as far, but she would "Oklahoma," is as pretty and perfect a "Magnolia" as any in the nearly 30 years the classic has been a part of the American theater.
