Mrs. Graff, the mother of three children, has appeared on TV and radio with her monologues and in this one she portrayed with amazing dexterity the varied characters, voices and personalities of the seven persons involved in the story. Her presentation of 'The Seven Year Itch" was excellently done without the aid of props or scenery. When she finished the audience had the feeling of having seen many more persons on the stage. As the husband she ranged from a calm 'after all we are both intelligent people" to a horror-stricken "My God, what have I done" with equal finesse and as the young neightwr she was hilarious.

The play is currently receiving ovations in both Oiicago and New York. The author, Georga Axelrod, has deftly drawn all his characters and the amusing plot. Mrs. Graff's presentation was a benefit periormance sponsored Jointiy by the B'nai B'rith, Woodrow J. Schoenfeld president, and the Janesville Jewish Community, Harry Becker president.

The two groups are jointly starting a drive to raise $18,000 before buying ground and drawing up plans for a Center for Jewish residents of Janesville.

"Perhaps we no longer have sleigh bells ringing in the frosty night, and Christmas toys may be bought instead of made after the children have been tucked in for the night, but the whole family can still share in the meaning of Christmas," Miss Hunt commented. "Thinking of others at world the true spirit of the season to share with your children," she points out. "Sending a package to a foreign land or special thoughtfulness to the aged or homeless will mark the pleasure of giving as a tradition to carry on to another generation. Even the youngest child can help with the gift wrapping, tree trimming, cookie and candy making, and some part ot family entertaining.
