SATURDAY, APRIL 28, 1945
Delta Luncheon Rally
Hears Of Girls’ Home
By GLADYS MILLS
The Spring Luncheon Rally, last
Saturday afternoon, sponsored by
Delta Sigma Theta sorority was a
social as Well as a civic highlight..
The affair was planned specifically
for the purpose of giving to the
public a progress report on the
Delta Home for problem girls.
Speakers representing the major
social agencies were present. The
real dramatic and exciting note
was the appearance of Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer’s glamorous star,
Lena Horne. Miss Horne, in addi
tion to what she added in the way
of beauty and glamor, made a real
contribution in the brief talk she
gave.
Mrs. Slaton Presides
Roberta McGuire and Jessie Sla
ton made a dynamic team, the one
giving very detailed remarks about
the history of the Delta Dream,
and the latter making a really ex
cellent mistress of ceremony.
Speakers included John C. Dancy,
Miss Eleanor Hutzel of the Wom
en's Division of the Police depart
ment, Rev. Charles Hill, Mrs. Jane
Bestard. Gloster Current. Dr. Doris
Cline of Wayne university. Judge
D. J. Healy and Mose Walker.
Lena Horne brought things to a
temporary standstill when she
made her entrance with Thelma
Hutchins. She looks Just as love
ly as she does in her pictures, and
of course the word has somewhat
preceded her actual appearance, so
that eager eyes awaited her en
trance and followed her to the
speakers’ table.
She was beautifully dressed in
• kelly green gabardine suit, with
which she wore a very severely,
tailored green* shirt flecked with
some shadow design in black, over
this she had casually through her
lush nnnk coat. Her hair was in
an upsweep atfd she wore no hat.
It was thoughtful of Katherine
Wells to have the spotlight put on
when she went to the microphone,
because we were all of us dying
for a good IVk. She was very
poised and at ease as she went to
the microphone after a very lovely
build up introduction by Mrs. Sla
ton. Miss Horne gave a very in
telligent. well worded and straight
to the po.nt talk on the current
subject of the home for delinquent
girls. She was charming, that is
really the only word to describe
her, and she left us all more proud
and in love with her than before.
