MARVIN KLINE HONORED AT ORPHEUM

ONE OF THE KEY PEOPLE IN THE RESTORATION OF SIOUX CITY'S ORPHEUM THEATER WAS HONORED MONDAY.

A PORTRAIT OF THE LATE MARVIN KLINE WAS UNVEILED AND WILL HANG PERMANENTLY IN THE THEATER.

DAVE BERNSTEIN WAS RECRUITED BY KLINE TO HELP IN THE EARLY STAGES OF PLANNING TO RESTORE THE ORPHEUM.
  

KLINE WAS WELL KNOWN LOCALLY AS A SONGWRITER AND FOR HIS INVOLVEMENT IN SIOUX CITY'S CULTURAL ARTS. THAT INCLUDED WRITING MUCH OF THE MUSIC FOR THE SIOUX CITY PRESS CLUB'S GRIDIRON SHOWS.

HE ALSO WROTE FOR THE CBS TELEVISION SERIES "DECEMBER BRIDE" WHICH STARRED SPRING BYINGTON.

HIS WIFE OF 42 YEARS, FRANCES KLINE, SAYS HER HUSBAND NEVER WANTED ANY PERSONAL ACCOLADES REGARDING THE THEATER'S RESTORATION AND JUST WANTED TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.

FRANCES KLINE SAYS THE PORTRAIT SHOWS  HER HUSBAND PERFECTLY, DOWN TO THE GLISTEN IN HIS EYE.
