she was elected to Masquer's society, honorary for Dramatics at Stanford. K
She was Lady Ducksworth in the Senior Farce "So This is London", and

I t was during this same year that Miss Wilbur began her professional
career. She was given the part of Mrs. Dahlgren in "Daddy's Gone A
Hunting" with Marjorie Rambeau at the Fulton Theatre in Oakland.
From here she went to San Francisco to the Columbia where she appeared
in the "Vortex" as Helen Saville. Thus ended 1927.

Beginning 1928 at the Fulton Theatre she took stock leads in "Is
Zat So" and "Bulldog Drummond." After this she was seen with Mar-
jorie Rambeau again in "Declasse" and "Enter Madame." Still with
Miss Rambeau she appeared at Salt Lake in the oldest theatre in the
United States in the "Scarlet Woman" and "Just Life". Following the
Salt Lake engagement, Miss Wilbur appeared at Stanford as Guest
Artist in "The Queen's Husband" and repeated the performance fori
Herbert Hoover the same quarter.

Last fall she returned to the Fulton Theatre playing with Robert]
Warick in "Interference." She also took the famous comedy role of
Fanny Gilley in "Bought and Paid For." To sum up her first bit of j
professional work, Miss Wilbur played twenty-seven roles in thirty-seven |
weeks at the Fulton Theatre in San Francisco.

Miss Wilbur left in October, 1928 to go on the road with "Appear-i
ances" taking the part of Mrs. Thompson. This was shown all over the,
Pacific Coast and cross country to Chicago where it played for nine weeks.
After this she was leading woman in a vaudeville skit on the OrpheumI
circuit in New York for several weeks.

Miss Wilbur left vaudeville and signed a splendid contract in New!
York. Shortly after this she was called home very unexpectedly. InJ
the meantime she is playing at the Fulton with Marjorie Rambeau and is]
returning to New York in the fall to take up work on her contract.

I'm sure that you will all be proud to know Elizabeth Wilbur as a
sister Alpha O, and I wanted you to know something of the hard work!
she has done to get where she now is. Only hard work can win success!

"Meteorology furnishes a fascination and alluring career for a n j j
student interested," believes Professor C. F. Marvin, chief of the W e a t b T
Bureau at Washington. "Meteorologists are on the threshhold of new
discoveries in the domain of forecasting."
