Louise Ludwig is nationally known as the 'Heart-breaking Debutante. It is rumored that ninety odd fellows have died on her account. Some more Ina trickery! Helen McAdoo is Loren Lewis's better three-fourths. They may be little, but I II bet she's headin' that household. Ruby McEndrce is touring Southern Illinois, taking snapshots. She was always so fond of such work. Herbert Mick is making a name for himself in New York as the Hamburger King. Bennie Lowery is in Sing Sing. Cat Ross went because Shep did. They both had such taking ways. Earic Sanders, Marguerite Sims, the Dollins sisters, and Rosie Dcvocelle arc enchanting huge audiences in the 1940 Scandals. They were always such winsome girls too. Julia Ferrell is in Hollywood amidst all the famous stars. She is Betty Bronson s maid. Frank Johnson bought the Fifth Avenue shop of Tiffany and remodelled it for his bargain annex. The DeMattei's are professors in Oxford, England. Catherine Davis is a Listerine model. Her hair is her fortune. Carleen and Noel Bell dissolved relationship and got hitched up double. Ray Cunningham contracted lockjaw while pouring out a stream of naughty words and succumbed because the proper key could not be found. Robert Johnson is playing in The Rustic Lover. He is hailed as Barrymore's successor. Sam Johnson and Maude Jones eloped so Hermine McConnell began to sue him for divorce as soon as she heard it. She knew he didn't make enough to support two wives. Beulah McCollum is accompanist for Eddie Garavalia, the American Caruso. Naomi McKemie and Harry Hamilton are aesthetic dancers, appearing between acts at the Valier Opera house. Tom Moore kidnapped Georgia Morris on her wedding day, and John Ludwig put them both to work at the University of Anna. John was the prospective groom. Sug Kirkpatrick, Wilma Hobbs, and Madge Reed are taking the rest-cure at Nellie Hartm's Sanitarium for ex-charleston executors. Ethel Lockwood shot Milton Fix but the bullet went wild. They are living happily ever after. Edie Gahm is still trying to decide which of her two excuses she'll marry. Death from old age will decide it. Edith Hurst and Dollie Fulgham arc the beautiful dish-washers in Fred Robertson's hotel. It is said that all the patrons lounge in the kitchen door, making love to the tune of the suds.
