This is Madge Stephens, the Geelong girl, who stole the show at "Kismet" at the Princess Theatre last night.Twenty-three-year-old Madge sipped black coffee today after a long sleep-in and said: "I lay awake last night for hours thinking ... it can't be me! It must be someone else."More than 1700 people heard her sing Marsinah, the sweet, innocent, young daughter of the beggar, Hajj-but Madge was thinking of someone who wasn't in the audience. "I was wonderfully happy for my mother." she said. October 14, 1955.
