In the social hall of the synagogue. A full-course dinner will be served after which will follow an evening's entertainment to feature Miss Sullc Harand of Chicago, In her version of "The Qeorgc Gershwin Btory." Miss Harand Is no stranger tp Columbus, having thVlUed local audiences with her portrayal of Grace Moore and "The King and I."
XllsB Harand has become a nat¬ ional favorite, acclaimed by crit¬ ics .ipf both music and drama as thi outstanding young personoli- ty to o«M during the lost ten years. The Sisterhood audience will be thrilled to her voice, be fascinated by ber amazing por¬ trayal of Oershwtri and delight In tbe'warmth of this most colorful personality- Like thousands who have seen and beard the beautiful SuUe all over the United States, Columbus will leave the performance only adding to her praises.
Although. Sulle Harand has re¬ ceived offers to appear on Broadway, she has turned them down, because In private life she is married and tlie mother of two little girls. She has Instead chosen to bring Broadway to the people who otherwise could have litt(e or no opportunity to partake of It, by bringing capsule forms of musical plays to her audiences. In so doing, she has stimulated Interest In plays and play-going to thousands of people.
Mrs. Nathan Nedelman, Pro- giram chairman of Agudas Achim Sisterhood, Said, In announcing MUs harand's program for the, ¦e««liUS>-*'tteva«nrtnrfi»«t*fr'| Is particularly appropriate at this time, as It is the SOtb anniversary of his death. We all remember his beautiful and |ong-to-be-remcm- bered 'Porgy and Boss,' 'Strike Up. The Band' and 'Rhapsody In Blue.'
"Miss Harand will recall his life and talents In her own inim¬ itable fashion and I know we are In, for a memorable evening."
Due to the limited seating ca¬ pacity of the social hall, dinner reservations are being considered only from those members who have made a contribution to the donor   dinner  earning   fund.
