TI-IE1911ALIV1ANAC Un one side there was a large bill board announcing tl1e various theatre attractionsf National Theatre: Howard Warwick. the Matinee Idol. now Starring in the 'Mormon Patriarch. ' and I recalled how Howard had loved to appear before the footlights. Utloming Next IYeek-Mlle. Rosenblnm. the Greatest American Actress-Box Office Now Open, I thought how proud the class of 1911 must be of their success. Across the street was a prosperous looking factory and I read. Sweet's Sweets for Sweet People. Nearby was a Y. YY. G A. building. and thru the window one could see that some sort of an executive meeting was being held: to my surprise my old friend Edna Lewis arose and said: The meeting will now come to order. tThe fact that I could hear her did not surprise me, for I seemed to take everything as a matter of course.J But the babel of tongues continued. Yes, Bertha Shannon was saying. I have just heard from lla Park. she's in the State House of Representatives. you know. She tells me that George Stockton. the Representative from Prairie Depot. is very busy trying to lobby thru an Initiative and Referen- dum Bill. but he's having poor success: our legislators are carrying out to the letter all the principles and policies of Gov. Kelly. I remember. another answered. C'arl always was trying to keep George within bounds. Then the scene changed and I saw a court room where a case was about to be tried. -Iudge Schwartzbangh opened court and in the first case I saw that Zelma Smith was the plaintiff. tSo Zelma was on the outs with somebody again: this was interesting.l lt seemed that Edwin Tippett had written a book entitled. How I Ran the Retina. with illustrations by George Barber. and Zelma. feeling some measure of credit due her. had sued him for damages. Mary Norton was counsel for tl1e defendant. and plead her cause so well that Zelma lost the case. The next case on the docket was that of Christinan-Richardson K Vo.. firm of shirtwaist manufacturers. vs. Hudephol-Mc-l'hie X Vo.. hardware merchants. The suit was conducted by Rabette l'heatt. Ralph Yvinslow was busy photographing tl1e principals in the case. while Vharles Kenuth and Ray .Xllen were reporting it for their respective newspapers. Before this case was concluded the court room slowly faded from view and there was another street. There was Herbert Tigges up to his old tricks. just entering a live-cent theatre. I soon heard shouts of Extra. Extra ! and I knew that the ball game was over. Then along came linnny Seubert. Nellie Schilling. Helen YYylie and Myrtle Yan de YYater. escorted by our obliging little friend. Blax Mcf'all, returning from the game. ln a stream of newcomers was Lawrence Teeple. the picture of a prosperous financier. He stopped in front of the Stock Exchange GS

THE1911!-Xl.MANAC part of the interior decoration: he has forsaken the field of poetry and turned his entire attention to art. Then she laughed as she announced. Arthur Comlossy, the editor of the publication. 'An Appeal to Reasonf has established a comic section and put Arthur Feinberg in charge of it. Ilve know his would-be witticisms, don't we? and she laughed again. At this sally Florence Schulte asked. IYhat's the joke? The next that appeared was a lighted parish house. Bly curiosity was aroused and immediately those within could be seen. There upon the platform was Ralph Jennings. evidently the Sunday School Superintendent, and the Rev. Mr. Kruger was shaking hands with the members of his flock. All waited expectantly for a moment, then our friend Ralph began: The mission field has many loyal workers and much is being accomplished. I really think less was done next year than will be done last year. Now. my friends. we have with us tonight lIr. Jay Holmes from the foreign field. Music was furnished during the evening by the Misses Hernley and Frary. accompanied by lIiss Alma Moser. The program closed with a short cantata under the direction of various teachers, among whom were BIildred Gilette. Florence Teft. Marguerite Rupp. Bertha Hotz and Constance Speer. The next view was quite different, for I saw a large circus tent and read, Young Brosf Aeroplane Exhibition. We go the lYright Bros. One Better. Various attractions surrounded the exhibition. Fred Hiss was showing the only sea-serpent in captivity. Gloyd Stankard and Thomas Almroth were funny men. and while I couldn't understand what they were saying. I comforted myself with the assurance that perhaps nobody else could. Edwin Cooke was selling pamphlets explaining the aeroplane and Charles Beverstock had charge of the ticket booth. Great crowds were streaming in and out of the tent. and I did not wonder when I saw the real attraction. A long row of booths was at one side. In one were Lucile Loveberry, Blanche LeClerc and Ethel Revel. serving dainty lunches, and as I learned from their conversation, the proceeds were for charity. Gertrude Sampson. Elsie Dippel. Hazel Heringshaw and Hazel Girvin had charge of a booth where canes. postcards and other novelties were sold, and business seemed to be brisk. One of the girls said. at a moment when few customers were in the booth, You know we all thought the fire such a calamity. the one whicl1 destroyed the college of which Hyman Pototsky was President. But it is to be rebuilt. liner and better than before. Celia Himmelhoch, Clara Lamb, Gertrude Black. Addie Knieser and Raymond Reynolds have subscribed liberally to it. Such a worthy object, another replied. Fine corps of teachers there-eLucile lNIarine had the chair of German: Minnie Schroeder was teaching mathematics by a method she evolved while TJ
