Be Lewes ba lon UNra le Opa eae oY Sweetie’s Soda Shop for Smooth Sundaes—Rosamond Morin, Proprietress’’. Our Rosamond has made good it seems. Remind me to drop in there in ten years. HELEN: Have you noticed who is editing the Union now? None other than William Hebert. That’s going places isn’t it? On page seven, it announces the opening of Mme. Elaine Gosselin’s Dress Salon. Elaine always did have talent. JOE: Here is a society note that ought to interest you “Mrs. William Schofield, the former Ruth Zandan, entertained the chatter-box Bridge Club yesterday at the Forest Park Ave. Pent House. Miss Charlotte Kus took the first prize and Miss Rose Ziff won the booby.” HELEN: Here is a book list that is very interesting. Kathleen Benson has just published her third novel “Away With the Breeze’ and Robert Gutzwiller has just got out his autobiography ‘‘Bobbie, the Bold, Bad Boy Bandit’, or “The Terror of Classical.’’ Sold to Freshmen only. joe: Barbara Mize, famous opera star of the Met, sailed today to sing at the Paris Opera House. HELEN: Listen to this one: Frances Magidson, Hollywood news hawk, says ‘‘It’s rumored that Am- erica’s Heart-Throb, Arthur Lovelorn, alias Arthur Fisette is ‘that way’ about ex-movie star Shirley Temple.” That is a scoop. joe: And here’s another. Ruth Masterson is the first woman treasurer of the First National Bank. Antoinetta Cicchetti is her secretary. That’s making use of her talents, isn’t it? HELEN: I see that Doris Guenther is a photographer's model now. That’s her picture advertising Goo-Goo Gum, on that sign. JoE: Here’s one of our friends in the Want Ads. “John Fleming wants a job as truant officer for a correspondence school.” HELEN: Barbara Woods is offering a special six months’ course a t her Finishing School on ‘‘How to make yourself beautiful in ten minutes’’. joe: Here are a few pictures of movie performers showing at the various theatres about town. Marie Mayer and Don Fortier are co-starred in ‘Classical Blue and White’, directed by that noted producer Philip Katzman. And doesn’t Don look sweet in that football uniform? | like these colored photographs they have in the newspapers now. JoE: Mary Fotias’ picture is here too. She cer- tainly put Simone Simon in the background ever since she appeared with Bob Taylor in the Follies of 1947. HELEN: I'm afraid there is nothing else in this news- paper to interest us, Joe. Let’s walk down Main Street and see what’s happening. [The two prophets stroll down the street, until a large poster attracts their attention. ‘It is a campaign poster of Morton Slavin, the peoples’ friend. His mayoralty platform is “A thirty hour week for leisure.’ Nearby is a placard telling that Dempsey Bryant has just re- turned from London and will lecture at Phil Crowe's Deluxe Tailor Shop on “What the Well Dressed Man is Wearing.” As the prophets finish reading these, they hear a radio from the next store. A voice is saying, ‘This is Marjorie Brooks, bringing you some news of the local people before Station WMAS presents Pearl Gardner’s Cooking School of the Air.’ “Evelyn Baker, an air Hostess from this city, has just finished her one hundredth transcontinental trip. The Air Line Company presents her with orchids as a token of appreciation for her services. “Erin Mulvaney, courageous lion hunter, who has succeeded Mrs. Martin Johnson, has returned to this country with a record catch of twenty-three lions. She plans to make a lecture tour of the country. “And this is our last item of the day. Charlotte Litman has been chosen as the Massachusetts delegate to the National Peace Convention. Her prize essay won her this coveted honor. “And another Springfield girl, Ernestine Brown, will represent the United States at the Olympics this year. Ernestine, as you know, is a champion basketball player. We pause now to bring you the time, through the courtesy of the Evangellen Tea Room, Evangeline Kertiles and Ellen Pricopoulos, owners.’ [JOE jumps at this announcement.} jor: Hey! It must be getting late. We have to leave right away. [HELEN and JOE rush back to Forbes and Wallace and once more embark on the THREE-TWENTY-THREE SUPER- SPECIAL UNLIMITED. ] HELEN: Let’s go slowly by some of these office windows. Maybe we'll see someone we know. Look in that dentist’s office. That’s Paul Foley with those big pliers. Helen Beck must be his office nurse. She is having a terrible time holding that patient down. Joe: No wonder, the patient is Donald Pickrell. HELEN: There’s a new big building over therc. What does that sign say Joe? Jor: [reads] ‘‘Cushing’s Marionette Factory. That’s Henry Cushing, of course, of course. I'll bet he ran Tony Sarg out of business long ago. HELEN: Joe, it’s getting awfully late and foggy. We’d better hurry. JoE: We’ll be back in a jiffy. The fog is rather bad though. [The 3%-ssu proceeds rapidly through the thickening mist until suddenly there is a loud crash and still louder screams. These fade away into the silence as the scene changes.] HELEN and JOE are now back in 323. HELEN: [dreamily] | was afraid that you’d forget that tower. joe: Huh! What did you say? HELEN: [with a start] Oh! Did I say something? I’m afraid I’ve been day dreaming. joe: Yeah. I was in a fog for a while, but will you look at the time. HELEN: |in despair] 4:30! It doesn’t seem possible. JOE: [gloomily] Well, it is and we haven’t a thing done. HELEN: You know, I| had the funniest dream, Joe. Joe: | wonder how Miss Battis’ desk got all scratched. It looks as though it ran into a building. [The two prophets are still deep in thought as the scene fades out.] ” HELEN JEANNOTTE JoE CALDWELL
