Jayne sitting near the PBT bus at the theatre. Jayne remembers "I learned a lot here. I remember Edward Everett Horth was a star here in SPRINGTIME FOR HENRY. He spent one evening after a performance in our experimental theatre capturing us with talks of theatre."
Show on barn stage during that summer season.
Group picture from 1947 with Pat Carroll in the front row. Jayne is the 13th girl from left with dark shirt one and sitting in front of the Trasks. From Jayne "I recognize so many faces but I cannot put a name with the face. I could not afford the season but answered an ad for a typist to type sides. Never typed a thing in my life but I was hired and I typed. Also had a part now and then."
Group picture. Not sure if this is from 1948 or not. Must be though. Same man with dog in picture.
