 ’Twas the night before April Fool’s day that 1 answered an urgent telephone summons from Frank Schrier. I made my way as rapidly as possible to his house. Frank, as most of you know, had just completed a perpetual motion machine, and being elated over his success started to work on a “fourth dimension machine.” As soon as 1 entered he took me to a room and showed me what looked like a mirror in a phonograph. He began explaining what it was and told me that he was going to try it out for the first time and wanted me there. W’e both sat down in front of the machine, looking directly into the mirror. Frank opened the cabinet and turned the dials. He put the main one on number 1938 and a smaller one on New York. After he had finished manipulating the various devices on the front, he reached down and pulled a switch at the bottom of the machine. At once we see a marvelous scene, not unlike the ones of future cities that had been drawn by our artists. As the lens becomes focused we see Wall Street and within an office there is plainly visible, j. Tracy Converse. He appears to be dictating to Alice Hughes. She must be his private secretary. On one of the doors a short distance away there is a sign, “Charles E. Mills, Jr., Criminal Lawyer.” Let’s take a look in here. Well, would you look at that! Playing pinochle with him is Donald Francke. You could tell it was he by the way he yawns. By the documents lying around it seems that “Don” is trying to patent a medicine. Oh! I see. There’s a sign on that building over there that reads: Donald Francke, Pharmacist.” What’s this building? Part of New York University? I wonder if anyone is here that we know. Do you recognize that person giving the lecture? That’s Catherine Ramey! Look how she’s scowling; just like a teacher. She’s lecturing on proper foods. Must be a dietitian. Another room ! Carol Rogers teaching Dramatics’ who is this but Marian DuBert teaching English? still another, and Can’t be anyone else here because the mirror now shows, “New York Press!” bet I know who is here. Sure enough, there’s Harlan Rowe at the desk of the editor-in-chief. There comes Robert Hoag. I wonder if he is an office boy. No, he is foreman of the printing department. That must be a copy of the “Press” that he has there. Do you see what the headlines say?” “Zip” Lynch and Owen Gerould Shatter Records in Big Meet. I always thought they would break something.
