We have always painted our faces
Maisie Marshall
This new series, planned on similar lines to its popular predecessor ' Five O'Clock ', will have a slightly more feminine interest and perhaps strike a rather lighter note. Occasional talks will be included on such fascinating topics to women as fashion and the care of the skin and hair.
Maisie Marshall, who sets the ball rolling, gave a talk on fashion" through the ages in ' Five O'Clock' last April. In her undergraduate days she acquired a reputation for making dresses, properties, and scenery for various dramatic activities at Lady Margaret Hall. She organised and produced Arthur Bryant 's pageant of St. Fridesiuide's Fair at Oxford, and has done the same kind of work for every kind of pageant he has written since. She has made a name for herself as a designer and maker of costumes for pageants and ballets in cities as far apart as London, Melbourne, and Johannesburg.
