Meet Me in St.Louis!
In the late 1940s , we Orphans, would perform on the “Home’s Stage”, while parents, relatives, and friends sat in the Auditorium, enjoying our wonderful show! We would practice our parts until we could do them in our sleep.
One year, we did “Meet Me in St.Louis”, starring “Norma Fuller”, doing the part that “Judy Garland” made famous in the movie! Norma was very nice looking and could do all the dance parts to perfection! There was a lot of singing and dancing for all of us girls and I do have a picture , which, when found you will get to see!
The “Nuns” that did the sewing and making of all the costumes were marvelous. The delicate, white umbrella, that Norma used in her “Dance ” numbers, was a “Work of Art” all done with lace by the “Nuns”. In Hollywood they would have had an auction and made a “Pretty Penny”.
I wonder if schools still do and create such “Treasures”, as I have had the opportunity to participate in – and again no films were made?
