Class Prophecy seem to be listening, is softly humming Abadaha Honey- moon. We recognize these two immediately as Barbara Cook and Barbara Ritter. Now we turn to another familiar face, a very well-dressed, glamorous woman walking beside her distinguished looking husband and surrounded by their six children. As she draws closer, we recognize her as the former Sally Naylor, now the wife of the U. S. Ambassdor to South Africa. In the rear of the theatre, a chorus of Happy Birthday, rings out. It seems that .Ioan Franklin is having another of her fabulous birthday parties and has brought her guests to the show. She is now a well-known fashion co-ordi- nator, and the originator of the newest new look, baggy skirts and sweaters and turned up socks. The orchestra begins to play, and the curtain rises revealing Slim Horney, the red-headed torch singer, who has every man in the U. S. sighing. A popcorn vender hops up and down the aisle selling her product and yelling, C'mon, folks, buy your popcorn heref, The voice is recognized as that of Ann Tucker, who has graduated from the baseball field to the theatre. And now the play is over and everyone is going home. As I step into my cab, I hear a familiar voice. It is Judy Yeaton, who rushed up to tell me that she has just received her fifth degree. So far, she has at- tended Vassar, Wellesley,' Smith, Bryn Mawr, and Dartmouth. My companion for this evening, Barbara Roop, has followed in the television footsteps of both Ed Sullivan and Milton Berle. She gave up her world- syndicated column to become the new Tuesday night hero of the kiddies, Aunt Barbie. Be sure to tune her in next week. E291

Class Prophecy It is the year 1970, and Broadway is bright with the lights heralding the opening of a new hit comedy, starring Betty Seibert, the lively comedienne, who in real life is married to her third and, she says, last husband. As the curtain rises, Miss Seibert and Miss Bobby Hood are doing a duet, a sister act. They were once told that they looked alike, and have been acting together ever since. From the orchestra pit is heard a brilliant piano duet by Misses V. Byerly and S. Egan. They have been playing Jamaican Rhumba by request for so many years that it is now the only thing they can play, but a great many people still seem to like it. And now a new comedy act comes on. It is billed as Hinkel and Silvis, and as a starter Betty Lou crawls onto the stage with her eyes crossed singing Ellis Hear Us. Pat covers her face to hide a grin, and they begin their sad little song, The Whole World Hates Me. Sud- denly a hush falls over the audience as down the aisle walks the renowned artist, Madame Claire Fredette. She has just returned from France, where she witnessed the hanging of one of her paintings in the Louvre. She is now very prompt and would have undoubtedly been on time if it had not been for her protege and lady-in- waiting, Cisty Blair. She has the distinction of never having been on time for anything in her life, and it is rumored that she was so late to her own wedding that her tall English fiancee gave up, left, and was never heard from again. During intermission, we overheard the conversation of two slightly greying old maids. I had a friend who sang that same song much better at the Met, the baby- fa-ced old lady is saying.
