This is a program booklet for the “Red Stocking Revue,” a fund-raising amateur variety show presented by the Woman’s Club of Joplin on 10 November 1960 at Memorial Hall in Joplin in Jasper County, Missouri.  The General Chairman for the event was Mrs. Tom M. Leggett and the Director was Harry Miller.

 

The Woman’s Club of Joplin was organized in 1929 as “an open forum for presentation and discussion of all subjects pertaining to educational, cultural and social improvement.”  The “Red Stocking Revue” was a major fund-raising effort to support the activities and programs of the Woman’s Club.

 

The “Red Stocking Revue” was directed by Harry Miller and produced by Jerome H. Car­gill Productions of New York.  Its two acts consisted of twelve and nine scenes, respectively, and featured singing and dancing by local performers.  This 32-page booklet includes the program for the evening, lists of participants and supporters (“patrons and patronesses”), and many advertise­ments for area businesses.
