THE SENIOR MIRROR Class S ' 28 June 1940 Volume 1 SENSATIONAL SCANDAL IN SOCIETY MARRIAGE Not long ago so- ciety was athrill over the brilliant marriage of Miss Kathleen Home, society belle, to Count Frederiche Clarkovitch, million- aire Russian noble- man. On a recent trip t o America the Countess learned that her husband was in reality, an American known as Fred Clark. The Countess, in an interview with reporters, stated that she would not leave her hus- band though he had grossly deceived her. Occupying a prominent place in Who ' s Who is the name of Margaret Yoder, winner of the Nobel Prize in 1936 for her great masterpiece of drama, The Last Love of Ivan Ivonovitch, which is to be produced with Slee Brimer as the passionate Bolshevik, Ivonovitch. ROMANTIC, THRILLING TO SAY THE LEAST IS THIS TRUE LOVE STORY While on a tour through Arabia, re- cently Nellie Johnson was abducted by an Arabian shiek who perferred blondes. Imagine her astonishment when she fell violently in love with her captor. They are now dwelling happily in his harem, and the shiek has promised not to have any other wives. Madamoiselle Marjorie Kaler last night made her debut as an opera singer at the Metropolitan Opera house, introduced by James Randolph, master of ceremonies. The critics were lavish in their praise and acclaimed her a coming artist. Mile. Kaler received many boquets, only a few of which contained either cabbage or cauliflower. As one strolls casually into the beauti- ful gardens of the Gardena Hotel, he is fascinated by a glimpse of Mary Mobarry in a bower of roses, selling flowers to a beauty seeking world. Mary once sold flowers at the Ambassador when it was a prominent hotel. DARING CRIMINAL TRACKED BY MODERN SLEUTH The whole country was very much up- set last week over a daring robbery com- mitted in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Breneman, (formerly Florence Frazer). All of Mrs. Breneman ' s gor- geous paste jewelry was stolen and Mr. Breneman lost his diamond cuff links. As he is in the imitation Jewelry business doubt- less the loss can be re- placed. The thief left only one clue, in the form of a hair- pin. Mr. Gaile Parsons, a modern Sherlock Holmes, says that he believes these articles were used many, many years ago by women. He doesn ' t recall what they were used for. With the aid of this clue Mr. Parsons tracked these daring criminals to their den and captured them with the aid of policeman Willoughby. Misses Pearl Wheeler and Irene de Paemelaere, popular Follies beauties, are spending their brief vacation this year at Newport. They are with Curry ' s Fol- lies which have atta ined greater promi- nence than Ziegfield ' s ever did. Mr. Harold Curry says he just loves his work. All of them, we wonder? Jimmy Buckner is one of Harold ' s assistants. GLIMMERS FROM GLITTERINGS STARS Madelyn Garner is now starring in the most exciting, dynamic, heart throbbing drama ever staged, When Knighthood Went to Seed. The leading male role is taken by William Gray, who guarantees to wring tears from any hard hearted audience. It has just been declared by the Judges of the Paris Salon that the glorious mas- terpiece painted by Tokumi Hamako is the finest painting ever exhibited there. They prophesy that Mr. Hamako will go down in history as a great artist. Thelma Hathaway has formally an- nounced her candidacy for the city coun- cil. A part of her platform is the re- duction in school hours. She plans to have the hours from 12-1 and an hour for lunch. Page Eighteen
