Class Prophecy Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Columbia Rl'0IltlCZlStlllg System, presenting, over a coast-to-coast network, u description of the premiere of Kathryn Strohmeler's newest hit. Two Hearts as One, from the best-seller novel by George Innes. The production is having its opening amid gala scenes in the New Chinn Theater, here in Los Angeles, California. Wh le we are waiting for the start of the film, I will attempt to describe to you some of the things that are taking place about ine. Just below me is the New York Philharmonic Orcllestra, waiting for the crowd to get sealed before presenting the overture. I can see several familiar figures in the pit. There is Wil- mont Baker, and bes de him are Max Egeland, Robert Krause and Dorothy Meitzke. The crowd has nearly arrived and it won't be very long until the picture is started. While we are waiting, I shall read to you the staff and cast of characters as given on the programs. Page Twelve

Miss Strohmeler has the starr'ng role, that of Ruth Devere, and Laurie Miller plays opposite her as Ralph Morrow. Comedy and laughs are furni hed by Frank Rockwood as Ambrose Pitts. The production was d'rected by John Franklin, noted for his many stupendous and magnificent color and music shows. The costumes W8l'Q'Sl' signed by Grace Hubbard and Naoma Ruth, and stage settings were made under the supervision of Richard Draves and Myron Northeim. The operator ls, of course, the experienced Harry I-Ioffner, who has been in the business for many years. That seems to complete the cast and staff, fo'ks. I find we have a few minutes left and so I will try to pick out of this crowd some of the celebrities you may know. Sitting in a box on my left are the same in eparable three, Paul Braun, now a world-renowned scientist, and the only living man who thor- oughly understands the ofd Einstein theory, Earl Gillman, President of the American Undertakers' Union, and William Guild. head of the department of athletics at Notre Dame. Just across the auditorium in the press box, sits Algegert Fritz, Los Angeles correspondent for the New York Evening Time . With her are Pearl Murray, Ohio W. C. T. U. President, and Geneva Shinskey, founder of the Shinskey Method of Book- keep ng. All three have proved that women have a place in the business world. Just a moment, friends. There seems to be quite a stir at the rear of the audi- torium. I'll tell you about it in just a second. Oh, yes! Wilford Diedrich called the Uncrowned Poet-Laureate of America, just entered with Gaston Joseph, big leader 'n Chicago politics. Now Isee Henry Gerstenberger and Valerie Eppley coming into their box. Mr. Gerstenberger is the owner of the Dependable Hardware Stores with wholesale houses In fifteen states. Miss Eppley was the star of this season's Green- wich Villafze Follies, where she 'wept the crowds off their feet with her marve'ous tap dancing. With them 's Florence Guild, Mr. Gerstenberger's private secretary. In another box on my left, there seems to be a 'stag' party. Otis Schofield, cap- taln of the President Hoover, the largest ocean vessel built, has as his guests Seymour Norton, As lstant Secretary of Agriculture, and John Liss, now head chef at the Silver Peacock Inn, owned by Miss Ruth Mischka. Miss Anna Abraham is also here, She is hostess at the same night club and is extremely popular with alll the patrons. Juvenile Judge Thelma Mays, who got her law training from her father, is in the audience, with Carolyn Sharp and Myrtle Williams, who run the Mona Baby Nursery on Minerva Street. And one of the most noted authorities on birds, Miss Katherine Kuhn, au- thoress of Birds and Their Habits. is also a member of the group. In another private box I see Mr. and Mrs. Harold Mathes. Mr. Mathes is the super- intendent of the California branch of the U. S. Automatic Co. Mrs. Mathes was for- merly Mlss Geraldine Glblin. Just about time for the lights to go out, and the picture to start, friends, but I'll take one more glance about. Oh. I nearly missed Miss Alice Becker, proprietor of the most fashionable hat and glove shop in Los Angeles. She is just ln front of another well-known young lady, Miss Mildred Telzerow. Matron at Lakeside Hospital. With Miss Telzerow is Miss Dorothy Ilakofsky, instructor of French at Vassar. And last. but by far not leant, are the same old two pals wc used to know. the M'sses Uldeen Uatron and Eleanor Burke, mofllstes. who have come over from Paris to superintrend the opening of their newest branch shoppe in Hollywood. The-re go the lights, folks, and the first showing of Two Hearts as One ls about to start. My time ls up now, and I am afraid I shall have to sign off. However, I wish you could all be here with us tonight to enjoy the novelty of this great event. Your announcer has been Donald Ludwig. 'I'h's is the Columbia Broadcasting System. Good night, all!
