Additional Information
Four Moorish pages from the 1923 May Fete. The Pages from left to right are Teresa Tombs, Marge Wilkerson, Lois Crary and Marie Lysing. Merrifield Hall stands in the background. The May Fete was a modest production from 1909-1916 until Nell Martindale took over as head and expanded the small show into a spectacular dance-drama. From 1917 to 1927, May Fete saw elaborate sets and as many as 500 performers. The last May Fete was in 1927 when Martindale resigned to be married.
