First aisle to the right,' said a handsome young man, and I hea1'd his fellow usher say, Atta boy, Leland. Settled in my seat, I glanced over the program. The Fitwell Dry Goods Uompanym-Miller and Sturgis was the first ad to meet my eyes. So my old schoolmates owned the best department store in the eity. Just then a young eouple with a little boy sat down beside 1110. By the lady's gum chewing, I recognized Virginia. She put her son 011 her lap saying, Sit still, Frank Junior. After an exchange of greetings we scanned the program together, and notieed at the bottom of the page the words, Edson Fee, Advertising Manager. The Chic Millinery was the first ad to eateh my eye. Hats designed by Miss Teutseh and Miss Bryant. I wondered if the clever hat on the lady in front of me could have been made there. Virginia asked her, and to our surprise she said, Yes, I always get my hats of my old school friends. lt was Erma Jennings and she had married a railroad engineer, Ralph McCol- lough. The lights faded and the news reel was flashed on the screen. Keith Beebe sets record for half mile run, was the first title to catch my eye. Then we saw our old hero eoming in first. beating contestants from all nations. The seene changed to a huge vessel on the sea. When the Captain's smiling face was shown I nearly jumped out of the seat. Raymond Alwood was a famous Captain. The next event was a great basket-ball game, and Arthur Campbell was the star player. The feature was interesting, but a pipe organ selection by Margaret Brand was far more interesting to me. The comedy was a Knock-out with Ran- dall Staley causing us to nearly split our sides laughing. Wlieit the vaudeville began the manager of the theatre announced the first aet. To my amazement he was Robert Iiowe. The tirst aet was a sister act, Awilda Campbell and Helen Carr were the world's most astounding tight rope walkers. They held us breathless with their feats. Then the musie changed. tlreen and blue weird lights diselosed an Egyp- tian daneer. Glaneing at my program I saw it was the oriental Mawitza . When her aet was over, we went baek stage to talk to our old friends. They went to tea with us at the most exclusive tea room in the city. To our sur- prise, the names Helen and llildegard were printed on the window. We asked to see the owners and soon added Uatherine and Helen to our party. They informed us that Ruth tlulbertson was their head chef. 51,- A terrible commotion eaused us to rush out. of doors. NVe saw that the photograplu-r's studio across the street was afire. There stood Romaine Campbell. the proprietor, wringing his hands. XVhen he found that his preeions work had been saved he was quieted. The fire chief, Robert Ilabla- wetz, was the hero. He had rescued Aletha Mavis. now a trained nurse. Our party deeided to disband sinee we had had a very exciting after- noon. I ealled a taxi and discovered that it's driver was Drayton Iioomis. He eharged me no fare saying it was all for oldtime's sake, as indeed the whole afternoon had been. I determined never to loose track of my old class mates again. 'I' 4' 'C' 4' 'I' 'I' -19-
