ociiiui L iu]jiJic» y Ruby Hart It was towards evening in a prominent cluib room in New York. The furnishings were barely discernible in the gathering shadows and the only light came from the shaded read- ing lamps on the tables. In one corner, four well known men of the world sat reading. Great j.umping crickets ! exploded one, hidden behind the New York Times. Listen to this, ' A noted sheriff, Harold Fonda, of Michigan, who became prominent through his daring arrest of two desperate robbers, has been appointed Chief of Police in New York. ' Never thought ' Jess ' could put it over. Wonder how he stands on that fourteenth amend- ment? The speaker was the famed and versatile person known as Bindy Bramble, although he had been christened Merrill. The most familiar thing about the man sitting at Bindy ' s right, knovvTi as Mr. Rob- binson — spelled with two b ' s — is his auburn hair. In the olden days he was known as Louey Robinson but since he had been cited by the King as the most brilliant advertising man in Europe, he had acquired a slight Eastern drawl and very foreign manners. How extroaw ' dinary, he murmured as he glanced at a page in the Notes of Stage- land. Said page read: Shades of Caesar. As the leading man, he has a remarkable opportunity to display his talents as actor and orator. Miss Hazel Kirkland will be the leading lady with a supporting cast which will include Lyndon Fogelsong, Norman Clark and Gwin Goodwin. June Knisley the famous emotional actress who discovered unknown talents in a High School Senior play, will also appear on Broadway soon. The next page stated that the Boston Brevities, including Eleanor Harmon, Velma Maxon, Leona Billington, Rhea Sullivan, Florence Schell and Dema McCormack with their manager, Stuart Macomber, were also taking their vacation at Miami. Those clevah boys, murmured Mr. L. Robbinson, and then added, Deucedly lucky. Deucedly boring, I would say, answered the man sitting at the right and known as Richard Honeychurch. He was tall, fashionably dressed and wore a small mustache on his upper lip. Being the foreign representative of Kuppenheimer ' s, he had just returned from Paris, and was finding New York rather dull. By the way, Dick, what is the news from Paris? asked the others. Well, there ' s quite a lot. Catherine Baker has married a wonderful chap over there, although it is rumored he does have some sort of title. Having that natural poise and art of entertaining she is rapidly becoming the leading figure in society. Claude Burton, Earl Cartwright, Fred Nickels, Leo Powers, Robert Simpson and Ernest Richmond, are all learning to be chefs in the School of Synthetic Home Cooking. But before you give any of them a position I advise you to make a little business call on LaVerne Wright, the best life insurance man in the United States. Guila French has become a great soprano and made her debut to the public just before I left. Personally I think she will marry one of her many attentive admirers as her jolly, fun-loving disposition seems ill-suited to the temperamental life of a professional singer. Frances Gorsline has surprised Paris with some of her art exhibitions. Percy Fruin, Reuben Alexander, Robert Elliott, Cecile Green and Ray Hamilton, agri- cultural experts, have been sent over by the government to organize farming societies in the devastated part of France. | And now ' Bindy ' , I want to ask about a few things that have happened over here. J Where is my old friend, David Rathbun? A I guess ' Dave ' is dovvTi in Hawaii now. You see the Broadway season doesn ' t open | till next month and he doesn ' t come back till it gets in full swing. I suppose Dame Rumor 4 will have the same strenuous life while he is here, trying to keep track of his reported - engagements with advertising companies. J And that reminds me, Dorothy Graham has promised to close her Fashionable Dress Shop on Fifth Ave., if ' Shorty ' Stureman will give up athletics. He ' s manager of one of the big leagues at present and is seldom home. Here ' s to a happy life if they come to that agreement. •• Here Louey interrupted with, Bah Jove, can it be that Prof. Brigham has fallen asleep? The person mentioned was Edward Brigham, a noted scientist who had made many researches into spiritual phenomena. Say, old fellow, won ' t you be so kind as to give us a -er-a manifestation — you know something interesting? Anything in particular? No? Well how would you fellows like a glimpse cf your home town? All right? Please watch that wall. They had no more than looked at it when it disappeared and in its place opened up a 16 «x «
