Presently she was studying singing in Chicago, soon had solo billing in night clubs, then fascinated several television scouts. At first tagged a "bop stylist," Bette sings ballads or bouncy novelty songs equally well.

La Chapel, as Garroway calls her, was born in Cincinnati 24 years ago. Her Italian ancestry shows in her olive complexion, brewn hair, expressive dark eyes antl pertly vivacious manner. The singer has little time for hobbies, but does enjoy sketching hints for the formal gowns she wears when working in supper clubs. For relaxation and exercises, she hops on a bicycle. Her only real extravagance is a whole closet full of shoes.

She is a good cook, especially at frying chicken, sings expressively, and loves to dress up her singing with a bit of acting.

'Noah' the Bill for Television Theater Andre Abey's "Noah" will be produced in the Television Theater at 8:00 Wednesday with Vaughn Taylor playing the title and Doris Rich, Stewart Bradley, Joy Reese and Jean Pugsley taking other parts.

As the play opens, Noah has received a message that the universe will be deluged by rain. next day, Noah begins to build a boat strong enough to combat the heavy seas, but is stymied as to how to build it according to orders without a rudder. When the departure date arrives. rvoah summons his three sons, Ham, Shem and Japhet, his wife, three neighbor girls and representatives of the animal world aboard and when the rains come ark attempts to ride out the storm. Life becomes more and more monotonous aboard the boat as days go by.

Ham starts the rumbling by taunting his shipmates with misgivings and pointing out that although Noah had promised a new world as their destination, no land had been sighted. Not only is Noah faced with open rebellion, but he fears that the sender of the message has deserted him.
