OUTSTANDING DRAMATIC ENTERTAINER IN A Complete Program OF CHARACTER SKETCHES, PIANOLOGUES, DRAMATIC SKETCHES PLAYS and FOLK LORE
LA NOLA FOX
Miss La Nola Fox is everything that one desires for an evening's entertainment, or the featured artist of a varied program. She is young, attractive, vivacious, with an abundance of personal charm that is reflected throughout her entire program.
The
Unusual Dramatic Entertainer
is an exception! Miss Fox is the
Unusual!
She represents what the seekers of good entertainment are constantly looking for, but seldom find. What Miss Fox has done with all her audiences she can do for you—Win them immediately;—Hold them throughout the evening—Send them home smiling! She is complete. Through her artistic personality, and the rarest of talent, her characters live before you in an atmosphere which she creates herself.
Cultured, educated, a Bachelor of Arts, a student of one of America's foremost dramatic schools, Miss Fox was proclaimed an artist even before her graduation. Since that time she has been one of America's happiest additions to the world of entertainment.
A NEW TYPE OF ENTERTAINMENT
The versatility of Miss Fox makes it possible for a new type of entertainment. What we love is
Variety
. A dramatic reading—a character sketch—a snatch from a play—a bit of folk lore—something with music—these are the things which fill an enjoyable evening—the thing which makes entertainment real.
Where Miss Fox has been heard, she is in demand. Kalamazoo, Michigan, gave her fifteen distinct appearances in a single season. All before the best clubs and associations in the city. Some of them are:
Kiwanis Club, Park-American Hotel.
Lions Club, Rickman Hotel.
Ladies Library Club, Ladies Library Building.
Geneva Guild.
American Legion.
Central High School.
Presbyterian Church House.
Century Club.
Lincoln Junior High Parent-Teacher's Association.
Sheet Metal State Convention, Burdick Hotel.
LA NOLA FOX SPECIALIZES IN HUMOR
Deny it or not,
The World Wishes to Laugh
.
Laughter is America's health food! Wherever there is entertainment, the American public demand it. Rich, clean humor is a large part of Miss Fox's program. She has specialized in it.
This will interest you, as it has many others. We love a dramatic reader if we can greet her with a smile—if we feel sure that she is going to warm our senses of the humorous—if there is to be laughter on the program. Miss Fox will bring this to you—pleasing fun which will linger—which will be remembered.
Humor and personality are brought to you in a happy combination through Miss Fox. Her charming manner prepares you for it. She brings you laughter which warms the heart.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Miss Fox's program is selected from ninety-seven complete dramatic readings; twenty-two musical readings, and numerous character sketches in costume.
Les Etoiles
by Daudet—A classic from the original French. It is the story of a shepherd in the hills of Southern France who shelters in his fold a little girl from the village. He thinks her curly head upon his shoulder is a star fallen from heaven.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
by Anita Loos.
Anpu and Bata.
The first recorded story found in an Egyptian tomb. Dated 1400 B. C.
Mary Gusta
by Joseph C. Lincoln. The Problem of Mary getting married greatly concerns her three old uncles.
Miss Fox also creates her own numbers. They are original—No one but Miss Fox uses them. Two of them are:
False Teeth from Sears and Roebuck
and
Grandpa and Grandma Ride Home in the Rain.

Some fail, you will not. If one could not hear a word of Miss Fox's program they would still continue to listen because of her personality. She is unusually vivacious, and has the ability to hold the attention of her audience an entire evening.

Ed. Amherst Ott, Ex-President, National Lyceum and Chautauqua Association.
Miss Fox has a comfortable personality, unusual stage ability and audience charm.

Miss Fox endeared herself in the hearts of her audience by her happy unassuming disposition and her genial manners.—
Nashville News.
Miss Fox, who is a versatile entertainer, gifted with rare and bewitching personality won the hearts of her audience in her first number,
Little Chink,
a song and dance in costume. Miss Fox displayed her marvelous ability by playing her own piano accompaniments to a group of original cantilations in costume. Concluding the fascinating program, Miss Fox gave the French Classic,
Les Etoiles
by Daudet and the exceptional quality of her voice fairly transported her listeners to the sheep fold in the South of France to sympathize with the loneliness and the desolation of the little shepherd boy.
