Court Proceedings Order in the courtroom, please. Order, please. The next case is Time vs. The Class of '39. District Attorney Alan Orvis, will you call your first witness to the stand? Since there are SO witnesses, will you, Judge Kittinger, permit me to swear in all the witnesses at the same time? The Court grants your wish. Proceed with your case. Do you, the witnesses in the case of Time vs. The Class of '39, solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God? I do. Ditto, ditto. Will you take the stand please, Aubrey DeWitt? What has time cione to you since June, l939? District Attorney Orvis, since June, I939, my occupation has been one of magnificent force and superior strength. In o'der words I'm a bone crusher, lwrestIerl Think of that! Thanks, Aubrey. Jane Myers, next please. Will you state the effect time has had on you? Well-er-a, I've been, that is-er-a, well-a, center for the Best Baby Blue Bloomer Girls' Basketball Team. Ahem, is my face red! Next witness, Stanley Easty. Could you tell us without too many hand motions what time has done for you? Vell, me and Johnny Griffiths, ve is gone together in a men's clothing shoppe. Your suit dan't look so good. How 'bout a nize dubonnet and beige plaid suit vit two pair pants for only SIO? Oil Vhat a barginl' ' Oh, yes, that's Daveyberg's Store, isn't it? That will be all, thank you. Next, Louise Hagedorn. Hi, big boy, what can I do for you? I s'pose you want-a know what I been doin' with my spare time. Well, handsome, I run a high class 'dime-a-dance' hall down on the other side the railroad tracks. Come down and see me some time, honey. We've got a nice squeeze-box player there. Nice guy by the name of Tony Bisceglia, know him? Yes, I believe I do remember him. Mr. Edward Studney, Esquire, please. Time-it means nothing to me. Tomorrow, I'm divorcing my l2th wife. My motto is 'Love 'em and leave 'em'. Thank you, Mr. Studney. Will Miss Pickin please come to the stand. What is the meaning of this imposition? As a Park Avenue resident, may I say that my social functions may be found in the society column of the daily papers. Now, if you will excuse me, I have an appointment with Schiaperalli for a dress fitting. Will Ed Harris please take the stand. How has time treated you? Merci beaucoup, Since I graduated from high school I have taken up the culinary art, and I now work for the Hotel Waldorf Astoria. ReaIly, Mr. Harris? Then, I must have tasted some of your delightful soup the last time I was there. Next witness, Miss Josephine Dagg. Miss Dagg, how have you been fighting time? Oh, dear, I'm all a-flutter. If the Judgy-wudgy, Kenny Kittinger, will stop giving me the 'once-over', l'll try to tell you what itsy, bitsy, 'ittle me has been doing. The girls and myself, Norma Andersen and Frances Case, spend almost every afternoon having hen parties and munching chocolates. Yes, l'd noticed you had all become a bit on the pleas- ingly plump side. ls it possible that Lee Lehecka is present in the courtroom today? Sure thing, D. A., but now that I'm a fireman I'm usually out to a fire, but being an old member of the class of '39, I had to tell you my struggles against lime. Well, Lee, you always were going to a fire, but thanks anyhow, for your side of the story. Miss Nora Korsgaard, will you please come to the stand? Has time given you much worry? No, to tell you the truth, my only worry about time is how long the bubbles, I use in my dance, are going to hold up! WOO-WOO ! ICRASH ll ls there a doctor in the house? Our D. A. has fainted. Cheerio! Pip! Pip! Heah I 'am, Judge. if Mon Dieu! If it isn't good old 'Fat'. Can you help us bring Mr. Orvis around? Oh, I say there, terribly sorry, old boy, but being an orthodontist, i'm afraid I really couldn't step beyond my pro- fession: besides, Mr. Orvis is coming around now. Do you feel capable of going on with the case now, Mr. Orvis? Yes, it was quite a shock, but I'm all right now. I hope our next witness, Miss Galbraith, won't give me such startling news. Miss Galbraith, will you take the stand? The other day when I was sitting on Jimmie's lap,-er, that is, I mean as I was taking dictation from my employer, Mr. James DeWitt, we were discussing this coming case and decided that time has treated us both very well. Perhaps you hadn't realized how much in demand, our lackadaisical, kissable lipstick, which we manufacture, is lately. I realize how kissable your lipstick is, but I'm not so sure about the lackadaisical part. Anyway that is beside the pointy so, may I ask you, Miss Carol Erwin, to come to the stand. Sure t'ing, Butch, but get this, I ain't takin' no stuff- see-'cause me and me pal, Slugg Scherler, will set you up as an example of what we do to muggs like you when they ain't behavin'. You know, in our joint, I teach the gals jujitsu, and Slugg shows the guys how to use their fists. Oh, I can assure you, Miss Erwin, I had no such inten- tions. The members of Sing So Sour Chinese laundry will please take the stand. Mr. Ching Sing, I'm afraid I don't quite see how you became connected in this case of Time vs. The Class of '39. Will you kindly explain to Judge Kittinger? VeIly vell, we must ask Chang So and Chung Sour if they wish to tell all about laundry. lil5fM,-- ltiitiffll 5'Xi llfklfc -1 GH SV4?'!fXX. Me tellee-allee--about us. Mister Chang So, will you introduce yourself? Velly-good, I'm Arthur Karcher! l can't believe it, but who are Mr. Chung Sour and Mr. Ching Sing? Mr. Ching Sing is better known to you as Ralph Talas, and Mr. Chung Sour is Bob Hayden. Well, boys, I'm glad you have found such a clean busi- ness. Next, Miss Thelma Mains. l presume you want to know how I have been spending my time. Well, you know I have always wanted to sing, and finally my desire was realized. I am star torch singer at the Onyx Club on 42nd Street. That is surprising. Will our milkman please come to the stand? Glad to see you again, Russell Beck, How's time treat- ing you and your milk business? Pretty good, Mr. Orvis, but for awhile last night, rather this morning, I didn't think I was going to have any more time left in my Iife. Why, what happened, Beck? WeIl, I was going along on my delivery about 5 o'clock this morning, when I heard a car coming pretty fast, I tried to pull over farther, but evidently the driver wasn't thinking EIGHTEEN

about me, and it ran right into my milkwagon. When I had picked up my legs and arms and got my head out of a tree, I went over to see who had hit me. Well, doggone, if it wasn't Ed Smith and Jeannette Treter, who were just out riding in his new black convertible. You know he always was noted for his swell cars. It seems that they get around quite a bit now since he got that swell job working for Goerke's big Lost Cr Found Bureau. They specialize in finding poor little lost bun- nies, and showing them the way back home. IThat's silly, isn't it?l No, Beck, I don't think soy Goerke always did have an affinity for rabbits. And thank you, Beck, you can go now. Who's doing all the shouting? Guard, bring forward this un- ruly person and let him explain. You vant to know? Should I tell 'heem'? Sir, I am Thomaski G. Treterski, the vun and only 'MAD CHEMIST'. I am ze voroId's greatest scientist. Could you stand there and say you have not heard of my very own 'painless vindows'? Do you mean it? Yes-I mean it. Ah--but perhaps you have heard more about my newest invention-yes? My deflated football vich has made famous my very good friend, Coach Bert Willison. You must have heard of hees famous one-girl football team, Mees Susan Briggs. Of course Mees Briggs's dynamic person- ality is vat really mows down ze other teams, but you must admit my feet-er-football is something, if you get vat I mean? And I think I do! Thank you, Mr. Treter, Mr. Asher, next please. l'll only keep you a minute, Don, because I know you must get back to work, but do tell these other people how you are spending your time. I'm lion tamer for the circus which is now in town, and let me tell you it is one swell circus. You ought to come and see it because there are some other people you know working there. There's Peggy Hursh, she's the woman who hangs from a rope with her teeth. She certainly is in her glory because she always loved to act. Ray Seitz works there too. You should see him! He's the funniest clown we have. He has them roll- ing in the aisles at every performance. ....WeIl, if you'II excuse me now, I must be getting back to my Iions. IMUCH COMMOTION GOING ON? Order, order in the court raom, please. What is the idea of all this disturbance? Pardonnez-moi Monsieur, but I was trying to tell that young lady that her dress was too long, and she was saying to me that I didn't know how long women's dresses are. Me- Monsieur Weber, the world's greatest designer of women's clothes! I just came back from Paree where we were iust dis- cussing that same subject. I promise you this disturbance will not happen again as I am leaving now. Boniour, Judge, and boniour to you, Madame. WiII Virginia Hill please take the stand? Miss Hill, what have you been doing since you graduated from high school? Why, hadn't you heard? I'm chief manicurist for Rich- ard Horton's Beauty Salon. Come in some time and let me do your nails, and maybe Dick will give you one of his special 'Curly-curl Permanents' for that crop on your head. Mr. Osterman, next please. My time, Mr. Orvis, is spent as a newspaper reporter for the Bay Window. And may I say that this case will certainly make a good story for our readers. Mr. Bob Tennyson, next please. How have you been spending the last couple of years? Well, l'll tell you, I'm an usher at the Ritz Theater, and not long ago I had a little accident. I was showing somebody to his seat when the battery in my flashlight burned out. I NINBTEEN tripped and fell on my nose and broke it. It certainly was worth it though when I think back and remember that swell nurse I had, Dorothy MeiIander. Thank you very much, Bob. And now, Miss Sara Whitnum, kindly come to the stand. Well, howdy, Judge! Guess you want to know how I'm gettin' along on my chicken farm. Well, at present I get about 2,000 eggs a week, IOO of which I let go for chickens. I keep the baby chicks in my house because it's a lot easier to keep them warm, and they do make lovely cushions to sit on and such- Cackle, cackle!! Frank Stumpf, will you come to the stand and give us a blow by blow description of your fight against time? Frankly Ipunl, your honor, Henry Osterman and I do much the same thing. We both work on the newspaper, but I write the 'Advice to the Lovelorn' column, and Hank writes the 'Dirty Dirt Spot'. If I'm not mistaken you wrote to me yourself for love advice a short while back didn't you? Ahem-I really don't remember. Billy Conant next please. Mr. Orvis, I really don't know what I would have done without time. I've been in Africa for three years as an archeo- Iogist, and I've already brought back many valuable prehistoric animals' bones. Thank you, Bill. Jeanne Evans, please. How have you spent your time, Miss Evans? Jean Wehrle and I run an exclusive dress shop for wom- en. It is called 'The Scotchmen's Paradise' an Fifth Avenue, New York. I simply must stop in some time. Ladies and gentle- men-present with us today is a girl who has done something very admirable with her time. I know, because the other day I saw her working hard at ner task. But I will call on Miss Muriel Woodson now to explain to you herself what her iob is. Thank you tho much, Mither Orvith. You're juth too thweet. You know ever thince our Thenior Play I never did quite get over my lithping. But ath to my work, I am the LEADER of our dear group which is beth known to you oth the 'God Bleth Our Happy Home Organization'. I iuth love to be doing thingth for people. And a most charitable job that is. Thank you Miss Woodson. Do I hear the sound of horses' hoofs-here in our big city? Why yes-and it sounds as if they are coming in here. Why it is a horse-and in the courtroom-Heavens! lt's Merle Siehenhaar. Merle, would you mind telling us about time and yourself? Yippee!!! Not on your life, pardner, 'less ah can bring ma hoss, Nellie, up thar with me. Oh, very well, anything to pIease. Clap, clop, clop. . . . . Thet's the hoss making all thet noise. It ain't me. Well, anyhow, seems as if I always did want to dern near live on a hoss, so thet's jest about what I been doing ever since I grad- gyaged from high school. Boys, I got myself the cosiest little ranch out West. You wanna be sure and come on out some time. Gid-dap, Nellie! CIop, clop, clap. WeIl, doggone! Judge Kittinger, I'm through examining my witnesses for today. May I ask your permission to post- pone this case until the same time ten years from now? Mr. Orvis, I grant your request. COURT DlSMISSED. WelI, Kenny, we've certainly learned some astounding things today haven't we? AI, I've never in my life had so many surprises at once. But say, come on. Snap into it. We've only got ten minutes to get to that BURLESQUE SHOW!
