B 1939 ' famed all-girls' orchestra, featuring Mary Pati, blues singer, Eileen Anthony, bass strummerg Fannie Soscia, key tinklerg Priscilla Short, drummer, Lucy Coppolelli, sax player, and Gladys LeRiche, clarinetist. The master of ceremonies is Cap Donnelly, who enjoys introducing the chorus, the Bon Ton girls, including Florence Jacobs, Margaret Nelson, Emily Stamp, Violet Moran, Maxine Lamb, Anna Kucavicus, Virginia Colvin, and Claire Casey. The bouncer, Fat Anderson, doesn't have much business as Warren Nelson, the barftender, serves only orange juice. Visitors to the club cannot help noticing Lois Weigner giving away free gum, or the excellent head waiter, Norman Petterson. Indilferent people may attend the theater which features the pictures of the Universal Utopian Film Corp. The current hit is Alvin jager's The Merry Wives of Utopia, featuring Janet Dunn and Clint Sperry. A coming hit is Sherlock Homes Rides Again featuring james Leaver as Sherlock Holmes and Walter Rem' ington as Watson. The Motor Cycle Co., with Audrey! Armstrong, President, furnishes the island with the motor scooters. The VicefPresident of the company, Annetta Edwards, keeps the company out of the red. The sales manager, Anthony Cece, is the main reason why so many scooters are seen every Sunday afternoon making their way to Mt. Utopia. There Russell Brower teaches skiing on the soapfclipped slopes of the mountain. At the base on the artificial lake of glass, Hope Place, champion figure skater, performs many a fancy twist. Back in the metropolis Carolyn Schuster, famed dancer and creator of the Utopian Hop, holds many dance recitals. Utopia's Bazaar, edited by Helen Osterlund, and managed by Ruth Anderson, is one of the foremost periodicals of the World, featuring articles on faceflifting, mudpacks, etc., by Helen McCall. Richard Kellerman's School for Soda jerkers has attracted students from all over the globe, just as Michael Ricci's Super Laundry has brought laundry men from all corners of the earth to study his revolutionary method. With her Utopian dress designs, Barbara Hill has stolen the fashion center from Paris. On the main thoroughfare are the oflices of Utopia's thriving businesses, such as Robert Anderson and Theodore Norberg's haberdashery, Geraldine Fennessy and Annette Segal's Beauty Salon, Anna Rodi and Adeline Zarrelli's Cooking School for Young Brides, Lillian Rhodes and Laura Winslow's Chinese Tea Shoppe, Anna Najarian's factory for false eyelashes and fingernails, and the city office of Pasco Menna's banana plantation. And from a Classical point of view Utopia is Afl, as the Utopian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Guy Gargani, has for many seasons played in the outdoor temple of music. Out in the wild country, Mildred Bennett's Beauty Farm keeps the young ladies in trim, with Barbara Brokaw the riding mistress, and Elsie Siple the head of the hiking department. Utopia has its share of capitalists in Bill Grogan, Thomas Hanrahan, and Ray Burns who spend most of their time at the country club, run by Raymond Bood and that ambitious caddy master, James Champlin. Cranston's public has watched Utopia's development with great interest, and they feel that it will soon become a world power and that many other groups will try the Utopian method.
