Williams are marr- ied and operating a Hapjack Hophouse in New York and are making scads of money.

Barbara's husband, Everett Baer, plays the piano for them and Ray's wife, Juanita Gentry, keeps their socks darned.

CLASS PRCPHECY GGG The tall bearded prophet advances slowly, drawing his long flowing robe about him. From that rot-e he draws his all-forseeing crystal ball, opens his mouth and speaks: The time is seven years henceg I see in the distance the twinkling lights of Broadway, lights that proclaim to the world that Charles Mehr is crooning there, thrilling and breaking thous- ands of feminine hearts. I behold a huge undertaking establish- ment. It is owned by Leslie Cruikshank and C. J. Davis whose fiddling and trumpeting, re- spectively, has built them a thriving business. Across my immediate perspective drift others who once inhabited Capitol Hill. Rodella Mosey and Bessie Wagner are doing a fan dance with one fan at the IsWas theater to the accom- paniment of Lyle Chapman's orchestra, com- posed of Randall Bryant, Albert Lovelady, Jack Suitor, Robert England and Don Seelig. In a crowded court room, Frank Mead- ows, dairyman, is charging Dan Killough and Leon Scott with disturbing the peace. He claims that the two of them in attempting to to sing, make such horrible noises in their log cabin two miles away that his cows, instead of being contented have started to give butter- milk. So dire is the situation that chiefmilkmaid Thelma Thomas, known after working hours as Mrs. Meadows, has thleatened to go home to mama. I see a river in the wilds of Africa, across which Elizabeth Blakely and Lillian Ferrill, mis- sionaries, are swimming madly. They are being pursued by women eating crocodiles. It seems they must be lost when in the nick of time, up dashes Leroy Meyer, chain-gang leader who is in Africa searching for the missing link, and saves the day and the crocodiles. In the jungles of America I see Wilburn Akers who has finally realized his ambition to become an archaeologist and is recognized as one of South America's foremost ditch--diggers. On a little Dutch farm in the Netherlands, Laveta Campbell patiently herds her geese day by day. It is rumored that she is amassing a fortune selling gooseliver sandwiches. Freda Seelig is known as the outstanding painter of the day, her specialty being signs to go over hot dog stands. Jimmie King is modeling non-shrink bath- ing suits for Bob Luttrell, famed traveling salesman. The suits are designed by Lee Laughlin who just now seems to be getting all her inspiration from Tommy Tatum. However CLQ19 down at the beach, Tommy is neglecting his life-saving duties to follow shapely Melba Call- ahan, and poor Melba is so distracted that Maxine Hanley, her dancing partner at a Coney Island night club, is really all a-twitter. Over at the Bijou theater where Macbeth has been playing consecutively for almost two nights, Jane Langston is wowing them as Lady Macbeth. lConfidentially, after the mad scene last night, three of the town's most prominent bankers Neil Wooley, Jim Woods, and Ralph Blair, were found unconscious under their front row seats.l Bill Alred throws his whole sole into the part of MacBeth, and Andy Miller is a very effective Duncan, espically after he is kill- ed in the first act. Patsy Moore is a realistic Hecate and the critics give Velma Craig, Max- ine Weaver, and Joyanna Umbach, four stars each for their hair-raising performances as the three witches. Across the street at the Paradise, Uncle Tom's Cabin is running Macbeth a stiff compe- tition. In the title role is Tommy Bates who al- so doubles for the pack of blood hounds in the last act. Evona Wilkie is saintly little Eva. Ann Fluber is Liza, and Theron Dillon is aw- fully cute as her baby. The real hit of the play is Perk Whitman, who, too old to teach school any more, has turned to character acting. His Simon Legree is superb---it just comes natural. Out in Reno, Dorothy Holland is suing Billy Williams for divorce on the grounds that the big brute refuses to allow her to accompany Robert Smith, rising young air-pilot, on an ex- pedition to South America as a cook for the company. Dorothy contends that cooking is her only means of selfexpression. Billy is in a New York institution under the care of Head- psychiatrist Clyde Williams, recovering from Dorothy and same. In a Greenwich village artist colony Mat Trotter is starving to death, waiting for some- one to recognize his Barrymore potentialities. As soon as Ava Rene Sewell, who is starving with him, gets thin enough they plan to join a circus as the world's skinniest baby-talkers. In the same village Evelyn Coleman and Eugene Davis are mourning the late lamented Harvey Pate, the other third of their adagio team who forgot to dodge. Zemirue Roop is suing Robert Peddycoart for breach of promise for the sixth time: Conrad Baker, and Billy Jackson. lawyers, are suing Zemirue and Robert for the sixth time for over- due attorney fees.

Aletha Mae Chaney is on the road, but not to Mandalay, with a large stock company. She has become so famous that several fan letters have been received in the last 15 years. As time marches on, Walter Records be- comes more and more famous as a janitor. Recently a nation-wide contest was held to de- termine the best janitor and he won by break- ing three brooms--not by leaning on them. It is authentically reported that Anna Mae Rader, his pride and joy, was responsible for his win- ning, as she was a judge. Inclined slightly to exaggeration, Harold McGraw has told us that he is managing the Oklahoma City Indians. The only trouble he has had, came when he and the umpire, J. W. Maddox, quaireled as to whether Polo ponies should be allowed three or four strikes. Cecil Manney has taken over the restaur- ant formerly owned by Jack Dempsey and now broadcasts over KFXR twice weekly. Nellie Malone, who plays little Nell in the Melodrama over the same station, has announced her in- tention of catching the announcer, Lawrence McKinley, during Ten Knights in a Bar Room to he played next week. Mack Maynor, the an- nouncer of WKY, protests against Little Nell, but Arta McNair his fiance, has threatened Breach of Promise Suits if he continues. The revival of the ancient fad of collecting pencils seems eminent at the present as Robert Moulton has already collected over 11,000 of the wood with lead centers. He has been assisted in this nefarious work by Rosemary Murdock who supplies the black hearted centers of the pencils. Lyndon Rouse is one of more beautiful girls at workin Italy, giving bathing beauty shows and swimming with gondolas in the local canals. Katherine McCarty is also there but her busi- ness lies with the Dictaforship or rather Mus- cle--ini. Beulah Rollins is now doing a spring dance at the Coconut Grove in Peiking In, China.

Stella Fae Phillips and Ruby Pense are going to take off for Mars in their new stream- lined electric train, accompanied by an engineer who will ring the bell. The fortunate fellow is Clovis Womack.
