FOOTBALL TRAM

Page 24 text:

a dietician. Peggy Connors lias become a nurse at the Rhode Island Hospital. After attending Pembroke for two years Elmina Marino eloped with the football cap tain, and they have made their residence in New York City. Another one on the married list is Ruth Hazledine, who has three daughters and no sons. Her husband? I cannot quite make him out, but you can draw your own conclusions as to that. Muriel Bullock certainly is climbing the ladder of success. She is now singing for the Metropolitan Opera Company. She will visit Providence next week, and my crystal says the cheapest seats in the house are $3.80. so I’ll content myself to hear her on the radio. Who is the owner of that smooth, persuasive voice? Oh, it’s James Conley, all dressed up in tuxedo 1 Whom is he talking to? It isn’t “Whom,” it’s a microphone. Jimmie s evidently a radio announcer. I wonder what 1 c’s trying to sell, now. The scene now changes to an extremely exclusive gown shop, and that brisk, business-like looking person is surely Theresa Marino. She owns the shop and is making money. There’s a fashion show going on and leading the procession of lovely manikins is a tall. slim, graceful person. Have I seen her before? Of course, it’s Audrey Newman. My, Audrey, what an amazing gown ! What’s this, now? It looks like a courtroom. It is. There’s Rhoda Levy, a brilliant criminal lawyer. See how she’s arguing. I’ll bet she wins her point. Again the crystal clouds, aiul next before me I see. but no. it can’t be—that long, white beard —I won’t believe it. It’s no use. I’ve pinched myself, looked again, and he’s still there— Arthur Nunes. Now, I understand the beard and the black robe—he’s Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Good luck, Arthur. I hop , you live to be a hundred and ten. Now comes a change of scene entirely. I find myself looking upon a scene in a gay Paris Cafe. Every- one is watching the woman toe-dancing. It’ Shirley Rishe. This is too astonishing! Back to America and the Metropolitan Opera House—the opera “Carmen”—the star? Yes, despite the make-up that lovely “Carmen” is Almerinda Corriea. A large gymnasium ap pears now. Why so much energy on the part of the ladies? Oh. I see. they’re trying to reduce. Urging them on is Esther Ferreira—a perfect 36. Uhmmm! — something smells good, it must be coming from that bakery over there—Such hustle and bustle. Lydwina Sousa seems to be in charge, too. This group of people are evidently celebrating someone or something — such toast drinking and whatnot! Hilda Mello is in the thick of it. Above her head on the wall is hung her latest painting. She always wanted to be a grrat artist. Next I sec the waters of what looks like the English Channel and battling the cold waves is Leah Eisenstadt. She must be trying to set a new record. I hope she makes it. Mirrored now before me is a trim little person, wokring businly in a physician’s office. It’s Jeanette Charette. And that man — It’s the President of the United States. Jeanette’s evidently his secretary. Who’s this! A tall, stately woman—It’s Antoinette Gaglio — She's a dietician and owns a whole string of cafeterias. The Chef in this particular one is Tony Nastri. I never knew he could cook. Hope he doesn’t fall into the soup. This next fellow is having a hard time — everyone is rushing him. If it’s Joseph Gallagher, and it is—they are autograph hunters. He is the latest Hollywood heart-throb. The lady by his side is Isabel Cabral. She gets a high salary for she works hard handling Joe’s fan mail. A woman, dark, pretty, now appeared. She’s carrying pencils and a drawing board. It’s A. Campanello. She designs the wardrobes of the most famous movie actresses—no wonder the frown. GREEN mndL WOIOTTE- 22

Meccy white clouds, now, and an airplane. I he pilot is very daring—such tailspins and loop-the-loops. It’s closer now. The glasses and the helmet hide the face, but I'd know those red curls anywhere. It’s Mary Velleca! I’ve heard she makes hearts turn tailspins. She’s landing at the airport now; I think I’ll peep inside. There at one of the desks is of all people, Arnold Dryer. I wouldn’t know him with the cigar and oh, see the lovely wave m his hair. There’s a sign in the distance. It reads “Home for Spinsters.” On the porch rocking back and forth — Oh this is too much It’s Maizie Matroni and she’s busy knitt'ng. The scene now changes to one of gaiety It’s is a large hotel in New York and Rosaline Ma turi is reigning as hostess. A school now. and in one of the sunny rooms is Carmelina Formisano teaching students the long and short of shorthand. Now an array of cream, bottles and instruments. It’s a beauty parlor and deftly wielding the comb and lotion is Lucy Cassano. I find myself in Europe again. It’s England this time. Through the fog I see Shirley Smith —you’re late Shirley, the coronation’s over. Shirley spent her life traveling. I hope she didn’t miss Westminster Abbey. What’s this? There sits William Doran behind a mahogany desk with a cigar protruding from his lips, and talking to a group of men in front of him. I look to the door as someone enters and what do you think I see on it? William Doran, President. Amalgamated Steel Corporation. As this picture disappears, another comes to take its place. Why it’s another very close friend, Vernon (iray. There is a roar of a motor of some kind and I see it is an airplane on the wing and Vernon in the pilot’s seat i see the airplane is the one which flies from New York to London. There is another classmate doing well for himself. This picture is gone in an instant but is immediately replaced by another and it is the image of Herman Kempli. standing before a group of men. It must be a board of directors meeting and Herman the chairman. It must be important so I will look again and see what Clarence King is doing. What’s this? Still on Bay View avenue, but King’s Greenhouse has changed. Yes, they are about four times larger than when I saw then, last. Clarence is the leading florist for mile., around. And as the picture fades I can see Clarence puttering around in one of the boxes although he doesn’t need to because of his several assistants. Next I see Francis Luther surveying his two thousand acre farm with field glasses, while he sips his morning cofifee on the sunporch of his magnificent mansion. He has changed. He seems to be getting fatter, but by his hard work he has been able to sit back and be a gentleman farmer for the rest of his life. This view fades and : can hear music and sec a spotlight on an orchestra. It is Arthur Manchester leading a nationally famous orchestra in a fashionable New York night club. At this moment he is playing a solo on his famous sax aphone. As the spotlight dies away another picture comes into view. It is Amello Parisi with a baseball suit on and across the front written, “Yankee.” He winds up for a pitch and as the ball is half way down toward the batter, the picture fades out. I read by the paper that he is making twenty thousand dollars a year. Another face appears and it is Frank Russo in a butcher shop and by the sign out in front of the store we see it is his own store He looks very prosperous and need not worry for the future. As this picture fades into the distance I see George Sousa signing a few contracts and at the same time issuing orders to his road manager and his assistants. I look at the heading on the stationery and see G. Sousa, Construction Company, and as this picture fades I see another Sousa. It is John, in the dairy barn milking a cow, and I see by the name on the milk bottle that he owns his own dairy. This picture rapidly disappears and a GREEN dMndl WD10ITE- 24
