Captioned: "Martha Raye will co-star with Helen O'Connell, Kay Starr and Rosemary Clooney in 'The New Four Girls' at the Royal Poinciana Playhouse". A four-part, concert-type show, The New Four Girls is a continuation of a show successful a few years prior. Clooney and O'Connell appeared in it along with Rose Marie and Margaret Whiting. When the concept was revived, Clooney called Raye to be one of the four girls.

A tireless performer for American troops in three wars, billing herself as "Colonel Maggie", she was honored with the Academy of MotionPictures' Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award (1968) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1993). She was buried in the military cemetery at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Lightly toned. 2 pinhead-size holes at lower blank margin. Irregular top and left edges. Folded once vertically.
