MRS. MARK W. CLARK
The Vivacious Wife of the Famed Commander of the Allied 5th Army
MRS. MARK W. CLARK, the brilliant and captivating wife of the commander of the U. S. 5th Army, has now established herself as an outstanding platform headliner. From coast-to-coast she has been acclaimed as a great celebrity attraction. The appearance of this dynamic personality in any community is a thrilling event.
In her talks, which are most unusual and timely and full of sympathy and understanding of the problems that face the boys when they do come home, she will show slides made from photos taken by General Clark and members of his staff. The pictures which she shows of the African invasion, including pictures of the house in which her husband held pre-invasion meetings with French officials in Africa, of the Casablanca conference, and the present Italian campaign—are not only unique and interesting, but have much historical significance as well. She will read extracts from the General's letters and his diary, which tell about THE SECRET MISSION and the progress of the 5th Army in Italy.
Mrs. Clark also has taken part in all the war bond drives, speaking about what she terms Victory Dollars. Her effort has netted millions of dollars in bond sales, U. S. Treasury Department officials have estimated.

ENTHUSIASTIC PRAISE FOR MRS. CLARK
Union League Club, Chicago, A. J. Petit, Jr., Chairman of Program Committee
A charming person with a most timely story to tell. The audience enjoyed her presentation of General Clark's African adventure and thought the pictures were most interesting.
Lions Club, Rockford, Ill., C. C. Gardner, President
Mrs. Mark W. Clark gave us a wonderful address at our annual LADIES' NIGHT PARTY and left a message they will never forget. The slides she shows are just as inspirational, if not more so, than her address. She held the audience on the edge of their chairs throughout the hour and fifteen minute program. In addition to this our Club received much favorable publicity through our local newspapers, etc. We recommend her to any organization desiring an outstanding speaker.
Michigan State College, East Lansing, Mich., R. W. Fleming, Director of Short Courses.
Mrs. Clark won her way into the hearts of our Farmers' Week Visitors and students. She was one of the highlights of our 1944 program.
Iowa State College, Ames, Iowa, Clarence H. Matterson, Chairman, Lecture Committee
Mrs. Clark's appearance here was a real success, and we thank you for making her available to us.
North Dakota Winter Show, Valley City, N. D., Thos. C. Hutchinson, Secretary
An outstanding attraction. Mrs. Clark's charming personality delighted everyone. People came from all sections of North Dakota for her program.
Ross Lockridge, Lecturer and Historian at Indiana University, Bloomington, Ind.
I had the very great pleasure of hearing Mrs. Clark speak in Muncie during the past week. She is really a most excellent speaker, as well as a super psychologist and patriot. I have never heard a message so sensitive and touching, presented so superbly as she conveys the thrilling achievements of her heroic husband. She is actually matching on the home front his brilliant accomplishment in our mighty war arena. As I listened to her and felt the warmth of her glowing personality, I was very pleasantly conscious of the superb qualities she has inherited from her talented mother.
The Elmira, N. Y., Gazette
Emphasizing that political and industrial democracy are impossible without spiritual democracy, Mrs. Mark W. Clark opened the Park Church Forum with a plea to Americans to carry the spirit of wartime cooperation into the postwar world. Unless all creeds and races can carry on together with the same spirit they've shown in the war, we'll fail in postwar peace, trade and survival, and carry the world down with us, too, she said.
Palladium, Richmond, Ind. EDITORIAL — A Treat for You
Reserve Tuesday night to go over to Civic Hall and hear Mrs. Mark W. Clark. It will be time well spent.
This editor had the good fortune to hear Mrs. Clark address the luncheon meeting of the Third War Loan workers at Indianapolis several weeks ago. She's a Muncie girl; one of our Midwestern kind whom we all like. She started out by modestly declaring she is not an accomplished speaker and then delivered one of the most effective addresses this writer ever heard from a man or woman. It was fine. It was stirring. It was something not to be missed.
