controversies, Dorothy Lowell, whose The Insane and How I Act” has helped many people, and Phyllis Doolittle, who is now resting from the strenuous task of compiling a new encyclopedia. And many Berlinites are famous in other fields, too; Miss Eunice Powers, the Clare Boothe Luce of Berlin, whose latest phrase — AW-Balony has won her fame in Washington; Doris Pavano, whose unfailing devotion to the Navy has caused her picture to be put on the wrapper of every package of Joe Edelson’s Salt Water Taffy; Gloria Silluzio, who acts as tutor to all prospective Ballet Russe members, and Elaine Johnson, whose wonderful char- acter acting in The Grass Is Green” has won her renown. Every Saturday night the residents of Berlin enjoy a stage show at the theater which is owned and operated by Robert Swanson with Margaret Hackett as ticket taker. The master of ceremonies is jovial John O’Brien. This Saturday’s special attraction is Ray Patterson and there will be a special moving picture featuring Lois Norton as Gene Autry’s leading lady in a thrilling western. After the theatre performance is over many people go on to Roger Ailing’s night club where Olga Della Bernardo is hat check girl. Ann Ruscyzk is the novelty dancer and Harold Reynolds and his featured pianist, Phyllis Reeve, entertain the patrons. Every day, along Berlin’s Main Street one may see many of the most notable townspeople — Boss” Masselle, who has several sewage contracts to give” to the lowest bidder, and his secretary, Rose Tarro, walking beside him taking notes; Louise Notaro, noted clubwoman, active in all local affairs, going into Lena Mari- no’s beauty shop; and Irene Corr hunting for news for the society page of the Gazette. One can also see the mayor, Robert Orcutt, who has a brilliant political career ahead of him; Merwin Edelson standing on a street corner, selling his high- quality throat soothing syrup, and Reverend Elizabeth Dean making a few calls on her parishioners. Early in the morning one can see nurse Elsie Pentore taking the children to Norma Ulkus’ Day Nursery where they are taught elocution by Gilda Alberti and singing lessons by Grace. Lewis. Berlinites are nationally famous, too, with pictures of Evelyn Garlone, the smiles” girl, appearing on billboards all over the country; and many posters announcing Francis Deming’s coming concert in which he does some marveous solo work with the Boston Symphony. And there goes a telegraph boy with a message which chief telegraph operator Florence Brusich just received from Marjorie Cooney telling of her arrival in New York from her long awaited trip around the world. Yes, Berlin has changed, but its inhabitants are still the same light-hearted fellows who all graduated from school back in 1943. GRETCHEN RELYEA
