STARLIGHT MUSICALS, INC, A Non-Profit Corporation Directed by Civic Leaders of the City of Indianapolis GENERAL OFFICES COLISEUM—INDIANA STATE FAIR GROUNDS—INDIANAPOLIS 5, IND.—WALNUT 3-1545 Dear Friend of Starlight Musicals: One of the most pleasant things about Indianapolis in summer has been STARLIGHT MUSI­ CALS in the Butler Bowl. But I'm sure you realize that these delightful evenings of popular musical entertainment don't just happen. Starlight Musicals is a non-profit enterprise. If you've ever had anything to do with a non-profit project, you know that a lot of people put in a lot of their time without pay while others help back it up with their pocketbooks. As a matter of fact, Starlight Musicals' guarantors dipped into their pocketbooks to make up a $30,000 deficit, last year. While nobody got hurt in so doing, operating "in the red" cannot go on. What Starlight Musicals needs above all else is more people in attendance at each performance. We are sure that in and around Indianapolis there are enough folks who enjoy good musical entertainment to assure Starlight Musical's success. What we need to do is get a lot of them to attend. That would be easy if enough people like you would "talk up" Starlight Musicals among your friends and business associates, urging them to come out here to see and hear these delightful shows. We feel sure that once you folks start really boosting Starlight Musicals, the word will spread and we will begin packing 'em in, every night. Remember, the best advertisement in the world is printed on the wagging tongue of a happy, satisfied customer. Join the "tongue waggers" and help make Starlight Musicals a continuing source of summer­ time pleasure for yourself, your family and your friends — and for the community. Cordially, NOBLE L. BIDDINGER President, Starlight Musicals, Inc. It gives us great pleasure to draw your attention to the excellent productions the Avondale Playhouse offers you.
