Actress With Local Connections, Guest
‘Celebrity’ On Les Crane Late TV Show
A “guest celebrity” on the Les
Crane late television show Tues
day night was Penny Fuller, an
actress with Sandhills connec
tions who has the leading role in
the Broadway hit comedy, “Bare
foot in the Park.”
Penny is the daughter of Mrs.
Anderson Rountree of Lumber-
ton, formerly of Southern Pines,
and of W. W. “Bill” Fuller of
Florida. Her grandparents, Mr.
and Mrs. Carl Thompson spend
the winters at the Park View Ho
tel here. They have a home in
Canandaigua, N. Y. Penny was
raised here and in Durham.
Her grandmother watched her
on the Les Crane Show this
week and said later she was as
tonished to learn how many oth
er people had stayed up so late
to watch.
In September, the Thompsons
went by the television studio in
New York to watch their grand
daughter rehearse for the serial,
“Edge of Night,” in which Penny
starred all summer.
They also met the cast and in
formed the actor who played the
villain, “we all hate you up at
the Lake (Canandaigua), but you
do a fine acting job.”
Most of the Thompsons’ friends
and neighbors at the Lake have
known Penny since she was a
youngster and watched the serial
every day.
Penny had to quit this show
in the fall as it was “live,” and
her schedule was too full, with
two matinees and six evening
performances in the theatre.

Speaker for the afternoon was

Mrs. Tyng spoke on China,
where she went as a bride in
1912 with her husband, an Epis
copalian missionary. The couple,
both Bostonians, remained there
for 37 years. Her husband became
Arch Deacon in Changsha, in the
Hunan Province.
“We were in the real China,”
she said, “1,000 miles inland.”
More things happened during
the ‘30’s in the country in the
New Heirivals
way of progress than ever be
fore, according to Mrs. Tyng, who
felt that Japan was first amazed
and then frightened at the up
dating of the country and for this
reason, the Japanese leaders de
cided to make war.
“The old-fashion'ed ideas—
eveiything changed and became
really very modern, especially
the ideas of the well-educated
and younger people,” said Mrs.
Tyng.
By and large, she enjoyed the
life in China, but missed her
children when they had to go
away to school.
The couple had five—three sons
and two daughters. All are mar
ried but one daughter, now an
architect in Philadelphia. The
older girl is the wife of the
Episcopal Dean of the Cathedral
in Little Rock, Ark., and they
have five boys.
One son is a consul in Italy,
one a lawyer and one a CPA.
Returning to the states in
1949, the Tyngs settled after his
retirement in Maryland, where
he died about four years ago.
Mrs. Tyng came to Penick Home
here last year, soon after the
Home opened.
