Senior Class Prophecy Good evening, everyoneg this is station 1-9-3-7. Here we are again on the edge of that scintillating crowd in the foyer of the famous B. O. Bailey theater in New York, from where we are about to bring you a description of the Amer- ican Premiere of Mary Mitchell's powerful epic of the decade, Lawn with the Weed as produced by Theodore Chidester of Broadway. This program comes to you through the courtesy of Gibson's Golden Glow, that amazing new discovery for gout. NVe believe that nothing we can say will have more weight than the unsolicited testimony of just one of our satisfied users. I have here a letter from Mr. Harold Rogers, manager of the Isaly concern in New Martinsville, W. Va. He says, Having been forced to sit out most of the numbers at the Thanksgiving dance, I was willing to try most anything. A kind friend suggested Gibson's Golden Glow. Now I can shake a leg with the best of them. Ask your friends about the merits of our product and remember our slogan, Gout grovels before Gibson's Golden Glow. It's just fifteen minutes before the curtain and in the meantime I'll try to give you a brief sketch of this crowd. From the pit you can hear the Lombardo-- like strains of Bob Costlyfs string ensemble. Directly to our right is the press sectiong we can see Elthena Cusic filling a notebook with items for her society column. Standing beside her is Robert Dawson, that discriminating critic on whose opinion rests the future of this production. His comments can make or break tonight's stars-Helen Crowell, the recent discovery of talent scout, Keith Miller, and her leading man, William Hain, recently recruited from the Princeton Triangle Show. Oh, this IS a pleasure! Here comes Fraulein Jean Hill on the arm of Baron Van Kennen. creators of the same roles on the continent. Of course, that great character artist, Bob Haubrich, can be counted upon for his usual ster- ling performance. And, alighting from their Packard 12, I can see the charming twin of the internationally known tennis queen, Jean Adelle Boon, on the arm of her husband, William Horne, the famous engineer who specializes in building bridges. Ac- companying them is Mr. Horne's associate, julian Atkins, the designer. just passing the mike is Captain Michael of the S. S. Helena. Captain Michael, you know, was responsible for the daring rescue of that ill-fated trans- Pacific expedition attempted by Ursula Bigley and Evelyn Grollmus. There seems to be quite a commotion out front-just a moment, we'll have the details for you ---- NVell, it was a fight. jack Wightman, one of the stock players, turned on his constant companion, Bud Wills, and clipped him not so playfully. The doorman, Paul Johnston, tried to separate them but it took house detective, Tom O'Donnell, and his assistant, Dave Kinzer, to quell the fracas. Dr. Gilbert Long, who happened to be standing near, reports no serious injuries. It is our private opinion that it was nothing but a publicity stunt arranged by Marton Hass. And here comes that outstandingly successful editor of the Chicago Sun, Miss Jeanne Culver. VVe hear she is wearing an engagement ring, and it must be true for she is accompanied by that well-known authority on engagements, Mrs. A. B. Cormnan, formerly our own Bettie Lloyd. Here is someone you women will recognize, Mary Corbin, who writes the daily column. The Housewife's Helpmatef' Her escort is Don jones, president of the Motors In General Corporation about the merger of which you no doubt read in the newspapers. This merger consumed the smaller company which was formerly managed by Roy Evans. Twmzty-Ilzrcc
