Star Singer, Sick of Singing, Is Silent at PAC Reception

To the hordes of eager scholars who dropped their notebooks and headed for the Club 100 on Tuesday, after reading a CRIMSON invitation to hear Libby Holman sing, an explanation is due.

Miss Holman did not sing, as announced by the party's sponsors, the Cambridge Citizen's Political Action Committee, because of a rigorous afternoon-long recording session and a fast-approaching evening appearance in her new show, "The Best of Friends," at the Cambridge Summer Theater.

All was not lost, though. A featured singer from the show subbed for Miss Holman, and other celebrities, including Francis O. Matheisson professor of History and Literature, appeared as scheduled.
