V t W. .4 I time gcelnfiofzc fwczi, Q?d b99 i Ah, there is a knock at the door. l jump up from my easel to open the door of my penthouse studio . . . but who can this be? None other than the mighty old Flo Zeigfield ushering in a bevy of tall beautiful blondes-you remember how popular blondes were at Lee?-whose portraits l am to paint. These lovely women are vaguely familiar. What! can such Glorified American Girls be Frances Davis, Florence Middleton, Eleanor Wood, Mary Reed, Flynn Moore, and Lucy I-laughton? Thrilling to the realization of these vivid realities, l can now hardly imagine them as the little gingham clad girls that l used' to know. Oh, youth and memories! And here are Paul Nasrallah and Theodore Stephenson, the leading men of the Follies of l942. Our appointment being completed, and my studio, now bereft of the nation's most famous musical comedy stars, l wander out to my lofty gardens: here, gazing at the dimmer celestial bodies above, l reflect upon the past and the present. Laughter arouses me from the land of reverieg l hasten to admit a world famed theatrical troupe, the New York Finer Dramatic Guild. ls this reality? l ask myself, as I greet Mary Keen, the great tragedienneg Sylvia Hackel, the petit ingenueg Kenneth Dent, the notorious villiang Wolcoot Prior and Thomas Riggs, famous impersonatorsg Raleigh Thompson and Grace Martin, Directors and Managers. A state of giddiness almost overtakes meg for, have l not actually known these renowned personages? Before bidding the troupe goodbye, I promise to paint several actors in their gorgeous Shakespearian costumes. Once more l am left to my memories, but this day is not for dreams and musings. The National Educational Convention Committee, which is stopping at the Hotel Astor, is announced. ln this great group, l recognize the professors Anna Wilson, Bernard Larsen, and Bradshaw Wood of Yale. The famed scientists and inventors, John Spofford, Mervin Ramsdell, Thomas Peacock, and Robert Snider enthusiastically discuss their latest experimentsl And here is Eleanor McCellan, the charming Dean of Women at Vassar. Upon my soul, little Rachel Cohen, who commands a position as professor of an archeological society. America's most exquisite photographer, Eugene Breedlove, now greets me. Snatches of conversation drift my way: Look at the editor of the New York Times reading the funny paper. l do look, and see the talented Billy Blois, and with him his devoted reporters, Phyliss Greig, who is also a novelist of note, Fred Bremer and Billy Chapman. l now grasp the capable hand of Lucy Ann Muntz, matron of an orphan asylum. Yes,-l have material here for a mighty picutre which will preserve for the ages these intellectuals. Page Thirty-one
