T II E M U financed by SAM BRAUNSTEIN, who is always willing to back a sure thing. Suddenly, Alice saw DOROTHY BRAVERMAN, who is the world's cham- pion shorthand writer, taking notes upon all that was being said. Alice rushed over and greeted Dorothy effusively. Alice asked Dorothy where she got the smart outfit she was wearing. Dorothy replied that she got it from the SIMOS sisters, ultra-fashionable modistes of Washington. WALTER ROSER, of pugilistic fame, was also at the port with his backer, FRED GRUBE, now a great capitalist. They were there to meet GEORGE AMIDON, the champion, and his manager, AARON SHADUC. The party decided that they had seen all the M. A. graduates in Wash- ington, so they set off for Philadelphia. Just as Eleanor was about to start the plane, the party saw a man rushing toward them. It was none other than OSCAR GITLIN, He asked if he could not join the party because he had to be in Philadelphia to put through a fur deal with IRVEN LINDEEN, man- ager of a midget show who was buying his midgets fur coats for the Winter. After arriving in Philadelphia and going on an inspection tour, they saw FANNIE RABINOVITZ, IRENE HETZEL, and MARGARET KOEH- NEN who were dressed as Quakers. The party was surprised-but found that they were merely masquerading. As the party walked down the street they saw a most exclusive looking establishment called the Schletty School For Girls. The party entered the school and were greeted by STANLEY HANSEN who helps the sisters procure good students for their school. He took the visitors to the office where DELLA AXLING. secretary, reigns supreme. Della was very glad to see them and immediately summoned HELEN and DOROTHY SCHLETTY. Helen and Dorothy took the group on a tour of the class rooms. They started from the basement where the dancing room was situated. MARJORIE ROHLF was teaching her dancing class a new tap step. Marjorie asked SARAH TORRE- DOR to stop playing the piano and they both came to greet the newcomers. They then moved on to the gymnasium, where MILDRED TOENJES was conducting class. They visited the rest of the classes and found MARION BERG taught scenario writingg BARBARA WHITE, spelling: MILDRED HAASE, physics: HELEN NURNBERG, Latin: HELEN SLATER, design- ingg VASSILA STRENGLIS, millinery: ALICE HAYES, dressmaking: DALE LEACH, oratory: FRED KLINKHAMMER, archery: LOUISE JAHN, elocution. and EDWARD CHRISTENSON, fencing. Helen explained that their school was noted for its wonderfully healthful and nourishing meals. This was owing to the fact that they employed two trained dietitians, ALICE OLSEN and MARGARET EABLE. The tourists enjoyed a delicious dinner and in particular the beans. Helen explained they always used Cohen's Beans -yes, LILLIAN is the factory owner. After dining it was decided to explore Philadelphia further. On a small side street they discovered a book store run by ANN AVRICK, while MAR- GARET TEGELER had a candy shop next door, where she handled the fa- mous HE-VI chocolates made by HELEN REITAN and VIVIAN BISHOP, a well known firm. They entered a floral shop and found that the owner was DOROTHEA OLSON. They found Dorothea visiting with DOLLY HAINES, Who has won fame and admiration as a policewoman. Dorothea was just putting up an order of three dozen roses for HAZEL PRESTON, famous dancer, from PHILIP RICE, now Mayor of Whoopee Prairie. Hoping to see Hazel, the tourists went to the LA FORCE Theater, owned and managed by LEONE. Here they not only saw Hazel but also BONNIE SHEPPARD, a well known ballerina. They were delighted to hear JANET UGGAN give a talk on Page Twenty-two

IKM!! ties ride PAUL CHELSTROM'S race horse. Joe remembered reading that Paul is the richest man in Nevada, who plays the races for a pastime. In the middle of Nevada, they were forced to stop on account of engine trouble. They landed on a very good airport run by MICHAEL MUTH. The mechanic who came to look over the plane was ROBERT McDONOUGH. The party decided to stretch their legs while the plane was being repaired so they walked down the main street. Suddenly, Alice's eye was caught by a cozy- looking tea shop called 'AYe Athletic Tea Shop. They entered and to their surprise found that the proprietors were BERNADETTE BRADY and ELIZ- ABETH BARNES. They were dressed in stunning blue and white oufits. They told the party that the outfits were manufactured by the TRAUTMAN, LYNCH CO. Juanita and Dorothy make only blue and white articles which have become very popular. After having the plane overhauled, Eleanore remembered they had failed to visit Hollywood, while in California, so they decided to return, confident of finding many old M, A, H. S. students there. When they landed in Hollywood, who should come sauntering along but JOHN VAN GUILDER who has invented a hair restorer at the request of PAUL RYAN who was afraid he couldn't play movie hero as he was becom- ing bald. GLADYS DIESSLIN, a scenario writer, came over to the plane and asked if IRENE LARSON had come with them, as she intended to enter the movies. WILLARD HOLMSTINE. famous movie director, and WESLEY ANDERSON, make-up artist, appeared on the lot looking for WALTER MCDONALD who is starring in the picture 'AEsk Me Another, written by MICHAEL DORR. MARGARET GUNDERMAN, a bathing beauty, who has also broken into the movies, volunteered the information that she had seen Wally with his leading lady, SARAH ZWEIG, who has become prominent in the talkies.'l The designer of the stage settings was CONN IRBER who has put Gordon Craig back-stage with his artistic settings, while CHESTER STAPLES has become famous as a master electrician, having introduced some modernistic lighting effects. BERNICE THORSON was the costume designer. HOXVARD BARNICK had charge of the continuity, and RINEHARD SIT- ZER, of the photography. EDWARD MOYLAN'S and GEORGE KAESS' Otto's Little German Bandl' played the music to affect the emotions of this select group of artists. Upon walking further, imagine the shock to the sightseers to see MARTHA RINGOLD throwing pies at ROBERT DAVIS. However, it was only a comedy scene on the screen. HAROLD JOHNSON was advertising artist for this corporation of which KENNETH JESSE was the owner. Walter Sime, now a famous pianist, invited Dolly to come to the night club where he played. Dolly accepted and they left. When evening came, they went to the Leemhuis Cafe, owned and operated by GLENN LEEM- HUIS, and found a cabaret where MARY KURLONCHICK was singing, CURTIS HUNT was a banjoist, while NICHOLAS MUSSACHIO played an unnamed instrument, newly invented by SAM DRUCKER. After a very enjoyable time, the party set out for a cross-country flight to Washington, D. C. Upon landing at the airport, they were met- by Postmaster General HERMAN PINK. MAE LEWIS, Assistant Postmaster General, was with him to take care of the multitude of reporters who swarmed about. Chief among them was WILLIAM LUTSCHER, once famed basketball player. GEORGE KATZ, revue producer, came down also to see if Eleanor would accept a contract with him. He told them that he was starring MIRIAM BEAUDETTE and HELEN RILEY in his present production which was Page Twenty-one

T II If M M China in connection with a travel film. She had just completed her third' world tour with MARGARETHA BUNDE as companion. BERTHA BRAVERMAN was featured with her orchestra. Among other hits they played a new song by RUTH LARSON, who has taken Irving Berlin's place in popularity. MARGARET LEIENDECKER was the pianist, SYLVIA FRANK, the saxophonistg EVANGELINE LARSON, the violinist. MA- RIAN ROSSBACH was in a tumbling act. Marian had taken up tumbling after being valedictorian as she was tired of being so brilliant. On leaving the theater they purchased some ice cream and found it to be manufactured by CARMELITA ASMUSSEN, who valued her company so much that ESTHER ANDERSON, president of an insurance company, found her easy to sell insurance to. Their appetites not being appeased they stopped at ANGELA HODGMAN'S Hhot dog stand, and consumed no less than seven hot dogs apiece, Of course, they felt queer after this so they located a hospital and were attended to by doctors PAUL LARSON and HAROLD ELWOOD, while LILLIAN BERGMAN and VIOLET ERICKSON, nurses, took their temperatures. When the crowd felt able to walk around again, they went through the hospital. In a private room filled with flowers, they saw ABRIELA MARCUM. She was suffering with a broken leg incurred by a fall from her horse. In the next room was GEORGE EORZLEY who had broken his collar bone trying to get to work on time: ALFRED ADAM, who is a bicyclist, and had fallen off his bike after winning the six-day's race: CHARLES MCMURRAY, who was having his throat treated, as he is Speaker of the House of Representatives, and his voice had deserted him. He was con- versing on his fingers with his nurse, HILDA ECKLUND. JAMES OLIVER was amusing the chronic patients with a chalk talk and finally was removed by Dr. LOUIS ODESSKY because one patient got a choking spell from laugh- ing. GEORGE COLAIZY'S drugs were used extensively in the hospital. After leaving the hospital, the tourists went to their plane and left for New York. Upon arriving in New York they were met by ART CHRIS- TENSON, the high pressure saleman, who meets all incoming planes in order to sell his bonds. Their next shock came when WAYNE PETERSON, a big political boss of New York, greeted themg his partner is ARTHUR HOCH- BAN, the champion talker of New York. Starting for Broadway, they stopped at a clothing store run by PAUL BERNSTEINg EREDA SCHULZE is his crack saleswoman and MARGUER- ITE SCHENK his stenographer. BURNEY THOEN, an expert accountant, was checking over Marguerite's books. while DORIS SWAN tried to sell Paul some of JUDITH SMOLIK'S dresses. Tired, the travelers adjourned to MAMIE EIORITO'S hotel. Mamie greeted them personally. RALPH KENNEDY, GEORGE SCHNEIDER and HENRY JOHNSON were the pee-Wee bellhops who showed them to their rooms. On leaving the elevator they met JOHNNIE MAE BLAKE and ORA JONES who were doing settlement work. The party sat around discussing the latest scandal. They were highly interested as ELLA MAE VAN DYKE'S husband, Count Roon, had been im- prisoned for larceny, stealing two cases of dill pickles as he liked them so, and his lawyer was ELSIE PETERING. They left the discussion in mid-air and went to dinner. They were conducted to their table by ITALO BERTINI, the proprietor. Two of the party decided to dance to the music of JOHN DOUG- LAS' orchestra, and BENJAMIN STERNOVSKY received loud applause for a saxophone solo. They saw JOSEPH EOLDOE, now a retired millionaire. At the table next to him sat MYRTLE NELSON, who was on her honey- Page Twenty- three
