NEW
YORK-Six
years
ago,
Lorraine
Browning
was
cigaret
girl
at
a
supper
club
In
Vancouver,
where
she
was
born.
Now
the
attractive,
aburn-haircd
singer
and
dancer
is
about
to
step
Into
a
role
in
a
revue-type
show
opening
at
New
York's
swanky
Persian
Room
this
month.
Miss
Browning,
now
22,
related
some
of
the
incidents
of
her
career
in
an
interview
to
which
she
hurried
the
other
day
from
a
rehearsal
for
"New
Faces."
Her
real
name
is
Lorraine
Ilavercroft.
For
stage
purposes
she
changed
it
to
Browning,
the
maiden
name
of
her
mother,
Mrs.
Ethel
Ilavercroft,
who
used
to
live
in
Winnipeg
but
now
Is
in
Vancouver.
A
stage
career
was
one
of
Miss
Browning's
earliest
ambitions,
but
not
the
only
one.
"I
was
dying
to
be
a
veterinary
surgeon
at
one
stage,
but
I
couldn't
afford
it,"
she
says.
So
she
settled
for
the
entertainment
world,
aided
by
the
Lions
Club
of
Vancouver
which
financed
her
In
a
course
of
singing
lessons.
Miss
Browning,
blue-eyed
and
five
feet,
two
inches
tall,
has
appeared
in
night
clubs
and
theatres
in
Vancouver,
New
York
and
else,vhere
in
a
bewildering
variety
of
roles.
She
has
been
singer,
dancer,
cigaret
and
hat
check
girl.
Her
main
objective
is
"straight
acting."
"I
want
to
suceed
in
show-business;
then
1
want
to
get
married
and
have
children.'
She
is
fond
of
animals,
especially
horses
and
dogs;
likes
to
cook
and
knit,
and
prefers
country
to
city
for
scenery.
Her
stage
debut
was
in
Vancouverat
the
age
of
four
In
a
performance
of
-'A

my
head
against
a
wall."
The
