THE ENFIELD ECHO 19 (Landry enters) Landry—Gee! I just got stuck for a dollar down on the corner —who do you think I saw ? Frank Combs! Ted—You don’t mean it. What’s he doing for a living now? Landry—Listen to this! “A Drink for Every Purpose.” Whatever may ail you, I can cure you by my latest discoveries. LIGHTNING COMBS! Anna—And here’s an addition to that. Madame Curtis, successor to Madame Curie, co-discoverer of ra- dium, has just arrived from France. Madame Curtis being a native of Enfield has consented to come here and demonstrate her won- derful discovery, namely, that by applying radium to the head, dull minds of small children may immediately become bright. She felt that her native town would furnish many subjects for ex- periment. Ted—Yes and really—Great Guns! We ’most forgot the Sporting Page! Anna—I have just the stuff here! (Hands paper to Ted and he reads) Ted—(Reading)—Ethel Lavigne, a former resident of this city, was given a hearty welcome yesterday while she was passing on her cross country hike. Ethel says she has been hiking on and off for five years and has won several medals. Helen Sulik has organized a track team for Enfield’s athletic women. They are becoming quite famous and Helen is especially noted for unsurpassed speed in running. Anson Corbin, more commonly known as “The Cue Pusher” has recently won the title for pool shooting from Philip Connor, “Ca- sino King.” Martha Graham, the champion tennis player of the United States, has arrived in France for the greatest event of the tennis season. She will meet the champions from other countries and compete for the title. (Landry looks over his notes) Landry—I’m sorry, but here are two more ads—can you squeeze these in somewhere?

18 THE ENFIELD ECHO (Landry enters) Landry—Good News! I just got an ad for the entire back page from the Franklin Theater. Here it is! FRANKLIN .THEATER. “THE SMASHING HIT OF THE SEASON!” MARGARET HIRD in “THE GREAT WHITE WAY.” A true story of a country girl who got lost in the big city. Miss Hird formerly resided in Hazardville. EXTRA ATTRACTION! Madame Helena Pawelcik, “The Second Pavlova,” in Oriental and Russian Dances. A rare treat for the townspeople. Positively Mad- ame’s last appearance in this country before sailing for the interior of Africa. Ted—All right—well—I need a few more want ads to fill out this column. Landry—Well, let me see! (Looks over notes). Here are several. Wanted:— An energetic young man to sell stock for the new “Zip Gasless Motors.” The right job for the right man! Apply to Harold Stewart—650 Main Street. FOR SALE 12-room house—all modern—$1,000 down for a quick sale. Inquire of Herbert Clark. (Landry Exits) Anna—Well, what’s he selling his house for? I thought he’d just built it. Mildred—Why haven’t you heard about Clark? He sent a letter to the “Lonely Hearts” Column in the Boston Advertiser and immediately he was overwhelmed with replies of young ladies ap- plying. The one letter which he liked best was from a young widow. Clark made arrangements to meet her at the train and much to his surprise, who should he find, upon arriving at the set place, but his old friend and classmate, Grace Thornes! Anna—And so the two are leaving town to escape the rejected ones and to be happily married? Mildred—Exactly! Anna—My how romantic! And Clark’s not the only one who’s getting into matrimony. Edith Chestnut was married last week and is spending her honeymoon down south. When she returns she expects to help her husband run his “peanut” and “chestnut” stand.

20 THE ENFIELD ECHO Anna—Oh Mercy! There are some articles we’ve forgotten, (reading from the paper) Anna—Della Leroux has become a great woman suffrage leader. She is now touring the continent making stirring political speeches. Marion Wing, the greatest woman flyer in the country, is going to make her initial flight around the world soon. Florence Brainard, who has become quite an accomplished singer, gave a very enjoyable concert last night in the Auditorium. She sang her latest song, “Jimmie, I Love You,” of her own compo- sition. This caused each Jimmie in the audience to wonder whether he was the lucky one. Ted—Well, it’s most closing time. Anna—Yes and I’ve got to go see Beulah’s latest hit at Hart- ford. All—Beulah’s hit? Anna—Yes! Haven’t you heard about Beulah? She is leading lady in Ziegfield’s latest musical comedy “Boo-La-Boo” and it’s at Parson’s tonight. Beulah has made some hit!! All—Well, who would ever have thought that of Beulah! Anna—Yes! And she has become the quintessence of the superb appeal to the eye with Ziegfield. Oh! And I’ve an idea. Though I have my ticket I think we might get three more tickets somewhere. What do you say if we all ride down to Hartford, get a nice dinner, then go to see Beulah! All—Great! Let’s Go!!
