This must be entirely up to your

However, if you think it proper
and not an imposition, I would like to have
for my talk Monday twenty-five or possibly
thirty minutes. Of course, much more time
could be used in discussing the topic I
have chosen, but I have learned to make
fair presentation of it in the time mention-

Dear Mrs. Rothfelder,

neembnt has come to me as program chairman of the

 

I wish to advise you that it is against the policies of the
club to have paid speakers. Lawrence, as you doubtless know,
is the seat of the state university and we have many excellent
and well~informed speakers to eall upon at all times.

I feel that it will be impossible for you to
our prograns.

 

Sincerely yours,

FCA/pg Program Chairman Lawrense Rotary Club —
 

Mrs. Carol Rothfelder

a monologist of great charm
and personality, who is con-
sidered one of the most popu-
lar performers in the middle
west. She gives Broadway,
legitimate stage hits, chang-
ing her voice to impersonate
all the different characters in
the play.
Training

Mrs. Rothfelder received her training at
Ward-Belmont School, Nashville, Tennessee,
and at the University of Nebraska. She has
appeared in some of the most impressive
gatherings in the middle west and she can
adapt herself to college, business or profes-

sional groups.

Who doesn’t enjoy a good play

In the Broadway hit comedy, “I’d Rather Be
Right,” Mrs. Rothfelder, whose unusual and
highly diverting impersonation of President
Roosevelt in one of his fireside chats never
fails to create an unforgettable high spot at
any gathering. Mrs. Rothfelder’s performance
is fun. It bounces. It has dash. It has many

fruity comical situations.
Plays given by Mrs. Rothfelder

1. The Man Who Came to Dinner.

As gay, giddy and delectable a comedy as
our stage has seen in years. A popular Kauf-
man and Hart production.

2. I’d Rather Be Right.

A smash hit. Funnier than “You Can’t Take
It-With-You:’

In ‘“I’d Rather Be Right” you see and hear
Mrs. Rothfelder at her very best.

3. Sky Lark.

“Sky Lark” has a large number of hilarious
lines and even more hilarious situations.

4. You Can’t Take It With You.

Another popular Kaufman and Hart produc-
tion. Comedy at its very best. “You Can’t
Take It With You” is fun. It has enormous
dash. It has a number of comical situations.

5. Life With Father.

Hilarious, touching—a play of universal ap-
plication, of tremendous gayety. A_ perfect
comedy.
If you would like to hear what others have
to say about Mrs. Rothfelder’s performances,
get in touch with any of the following:

Mrs. C. C. Burkhalter, White Cloud, Kans.
Mrs. Dr. Clemens Rucker, Sabetha, Kans.
Mrs. Glen Hall, Pittsburg, Kans.

Mrs. Elizabeth Kinkead, White Cloud, Kans.

Mrs. F. E. Beaumont, 2711 South St., Lincoln,
Nebr.

Mrs. Truman Ingalsbe, 109 E. 40th St., Kansas
City, Mo.

Mrs. Thos. McDermott, 627 E. 84th St., Chicago.
Til.

Mrs. Rothfelder will give any current play
and impersonate all of the characters. The
rates are surprisingly reasonable. Write
Mrs. Rothfelder. She will be happy to make
an appointment to discuss your entertain-

ment with you.

Dear Scotty,

For two weeks I have been wanting to write you to tell you
how wonderful your reception was here in Lawrence when you
spoke to our Rotary club. Jack and a number of the members
have written you and Jack read your reply to our Rotarians.
But I would rather wait for a while until many of the —
have been delivered before Iwrite you.

When a fellow dees a good job he knows it because other jos
tell him, and too, he has an innate reaction when men are pleased
about him. All this and more has come to you, so it is needless
for me to tell you how very happy we were to see you, hear you,
and to hear others say how pleasant you were, so I am contributing
my small bit of genuine response when I say you did a great job
for us here and we were happy indeed to have you.

We have had two fine meetings since you were here, but yours will
always stand out as one of the bright spots. I did not forget
your desire to be remembered to Bill Hargiss. I want you to know
that I always endeavor to carry through on these little things.

I am sorry that you did not get to see him. A fellow is always
happy to hear from one even though he does not contact hime

With all good wishes I am

Sincerely,

oe Director of Physical Education and Recreation

Baldwin, July 2, 1941.

Mr. John Andrews,
President of the Rotary
Lawrence, Kans,

Dear Mr. Andrews:

In spring 1939 I wonn a scholarship at Baker
University, Baldwin, Kansas, while studying at Charles Univer-
sity in Prague, Czechoslovakia, The Germans occupied the country
before I could leave and it took me almost one year before I
succeeded to come to the United States, I am now studying at
Baker and financing my studkes chiefly by lecturing. Since summer
1940 I spoke for eighty four groups in Kansas: churches, service
clubs- Rotary at Ottawa, Burlingame, Kiwanis at El Dorado, Kan-
sas City, Lions at Newton - chambers of commerce and schools,

I want to ask you if you could use me as a spea-
ker in your club some time, My theme would be "Why I like Amerika",
I am contrasting the situation in Czechoslovakia during the repu-
blic build upon the American pattern - the Czechs were called the
Yankees of Europe - and the "New Order" during the Nazi occupation,
I would also briefly mention how I came over, why I like it here
so well and give alittle survey of the present European situation

which I am following closely. I would talk about 30 min. with
a question period if desired.and for a fee of *10.00.

I would appreciate your attention and kind
consideration of my request,

Very sincerely yours
