Grace Moore to Sing At Saranac Benefit
Fresh from triumphs in Mexico City, where she received the highest civil decoration of the government, Grace Moore, lovely star of opera, stage, radio and moving pictures, will appear at the Pontiac theatre, Saranac Lake, on Saturday night, May 10, at 8 o'clock, in a concert for the benefit of the Saranac Lake Study and Craft Guild.
The concert, which it is felt will be one of the outstanding musical events in the Adirondacks in recent years, is being offered by Miss Moore as a token of the affection which she and her husband, Valentine Parera, feel toward the north country, according to Guild officials.
