THIS WE WILL DO Prophecy One bright sunny day in bookkeeping, Kathy and I were talking as usual, when Ernie lost his temper and threw a book that hit me on the head, Everything went black. Things began to cleor up hours later. I opened my eyes, one at a time, then quickly closed them again That bump on the head must have made me lose my mind because something hod happened to the world around me J started down the street hoping to meet somebody I knew when I met Bob McVicker. He is now 6' 2 The last time I had seen hirn Bob was only 5' 5 . He is now the owner of a huge movie studio known as the McVICKER, McVICKER, AND McVICKER STUDIOS He asked me if I would like to see him moke a few pictures and of course I said yes. Bob introduced me to the new star of his latest musical comedy, Annie Get Your Gun! She was none other than Jeanne Jordon. Jeanne had taken Betty Hutton's part. We wandered into the next set and wotched them make a new Bumphrey Hogart picture, the toughest detective in the business. Bob introduced me to this tough guy and who do you think it was? Yes, you guessed it! Swede Ramos. While Bob and Bumphrey were talking over an extra scene I wandered over to talk to the comera man There I met a beautiful blond, a Miss Dauren Recall. She ploys opposite Bumphrey in his pictures. While we were talking, I noticed something familiar about her, then it dawned on me who it wos Dorothy Wiglesworth. After Bob and Bumphrey finishing talking we wondered over to the Western set where Crip-a-Long Hassidy and his horse Lower were making their latest film. Playing opposite Crip-a-long was his wite and leading lady, the beautiful western singing star Nevada White I might add she is the new queen of the west. Who is this new twosome? Why it's Juanita and Al. Together, the same as always. By this time the day was nearly over so Bob and I decided to go to the Brown Derby for dinner and to the opera later As we walked in the door of the Brown Derby we were greeted by the handsome proprietor He seemed to know Bob quite well. I took a better look at him, after he had greeted me by name Bob said, John, can you find us a good table? Then I knew who he was John Madison. We hod a lot of fun, but Bob soid it was getting late, so we decided to leave or we would be late for the opera. We arrived at the opera in time for the first curtain The stars, Mili Folms and Relson Feddy, were performing that night After the performance we went bock stage and met them Bob mtroducd me to Mary Lou Farrens ond Richard Fullerton Mili Folms and Relson Feddy were only their stage, names. We tolked for awhile then left for the night clubs We decided to go the rounds starting with the Coconut Grove The featured entertainer that evening was the great crooner, Hankie Finatra He wos really packing them in that night, but we got a front table After his number, he came down to our table Jim Stockard hod really come up in the world! He was going to be a great coach, but I guess he liked singing better He told us to stick around for awhile, as they had a new comedion who was really great We did and soon out came Eddie Cantersworth who rolled his big glassy eyes around and had the crowd in stitches Bob and I both were surprised when we recognized Eugene Gene was always so serious in school that we were surprised when he told us his secret desire hod always been to be a comedian. Well, we had seen quite enough at the Coconut Grove so we went to the Stork Club, next They had a new blues singer there who was really beautiful. She was 5' 8 and hod blonde hair She was really good After her first number everyone wos crying Bob said he had a surprise for us so after her number, he beckoned her over and introduced Miss Kathy Ellis to us. Well, offer all the other surprises I had had today I was really not very shocked I told Bob I wos getting tired and wanted to go home, so he took me there. As I walked in the door my six boys were ploying a fast game of football; they insisted I play. I was getting ready to catch a pass when WHAM! something hit me in the face When I come to everyone was around me. Ernie said he was sorry, but Kathy and I had gone just a little toe far that time Well I said I wasn't angry and you know—I was mighty glad he had hit me with that book for otherwise I might not have had that wonderful dream.
