Picon Returns

Noted Actress Will Give
Repeat Performance
On Monday

Overflow audiences at the two
performances of "Such a Life,"

starring Molly Picon, at the Wil-
son Theater last Sunday, attest-

ed to an unusually successful re-
turn to the Yiddish stage of this
noted. actress. Because hundreds
had to be turned away, the man-
agement arranged for areturn
engagement for Miss Picon for
the coming Monday evening, also
at the Wilson Theater, Madison
and Brush Sts.
The first two performances of
this play, which depicts the life
history of Miss Picon, witnessed
an enthusiastic response from
Detroit Jews. The matinee per-
formance brought a substantial
income for the Russian Relief
Fund. At night as well as in the
afternoon, prominent Jews were
seen in the audience enjoying the
excellent acting of Miss Picon.
An accomplished actress - who
has made her mark both on the
English and Yiddish stage, Miss
Picon occupies a place of prom-
inence among the outstanding
builders of the Jewish theater
in America.
She is superb as a dancer, sing-
er, interpreter of her people's
folklore.
Last Sunday, Miss Picon again
provided proof that she can
change from an adult to a child's
part at random and be successful
in both. She is a mimic, has a
good voice, is at home on the
stage.
Her • cast gives her splendid
support,. and "Such a Life" is
magnificent tribute to a great
actress and her husband, Jacob
Kalich, who plays one of the
leading roles in the play. The
music is by Joseph Rumshinsky,
composer of many operettas, and
a celebrity in his own right.

JUDGE TOMS TRIES
SELLING "DAINTIES" AS
DAUGHTER SMILES

Margaret Toms, 20-year-old

daughter of Judge Robert M.
Toms, is making her first ven-
ture into the world of business
by opening an infants and chil-
dren's wear store, The Peggy
Shop, at 17247 W. McNichols
Road. Margaret was graduated
from Stephens College last year,
and after a summer's training.in
merchandising at a downtown
store, decided to take the plunge
as her own boss.
Her father, with the help of his
friend, Joseph Holtzman, built
the store for her and the shop
opened just before Christmas.
"Dad's a tough landlord," says
Peggy. "He wants the rent
promptly on the first of the
month—and I'm not joking. On
Saturdays dad and mother and
my sister all turn in to help me,_
and when dad starts to talk to a
customer about dotted Swiss and
organdie and spun rayon it's a
little difficult to keep a straight
face. He's catching on fast,

though."
Judge Toms declined to com-
ment, except to say: "It's Peggy's

shop, not mine, and its up to her
to make it go. From the way
mothers and fathers have been
coming in to the store, however,
I don't think either of us has
anything to worry about."
