Anyone who sees this bright musical knows that Miss Medford does more with those 10 or 12 minutes than many performers who spend every minute on stage.

Kay Medford started her career with the Bom lit circuit, performing; In the summer resorts in the Cat-skills. "My brother actually got me my first job," she said.
