“Oh!” I breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the rope draw taut and the girl •.topped with a jerk. The guide conies around the side of the mountain into view, followed by a woman of great fame in police circles, as a detective, Lucile Hayes! And we are more than surprised to see that the man is Chester Britten. He starts pulling in the rope and finally the girl lays at his feet. Reaching down he gently lifts her and we recognize Elsie Walton, originator of Walton’s Study Ionic for Freshmen. As if to rest us of what we had seen, the next picture is laid in a quiet country town in Ireland. Eric McCann is lord and ruler, or whatever they call them in Ireland. He is slowly driving along the country lanes in his Rolled-Barley coupe. He stops to speak to Philip and Carol Hussey who are raising four-leaf clovers for a living. They, with Viola Bordon as assistant, are becoming rich at this unique work. Oh, goody! A circus. Turner Perry! Never heard of it. Roy Perry is talking through a megaphone to the crown telling about the tallest man and shortest woman, who are Ellis Dodson and Arlela Myers, and about the wild west girls, Eleanor Cougle and Lucy Allen. We see a woman, none other than Rilda I urner, at the box office selling tickets. Uh-hum! So this is the whyfore of Turner and Perry. The woman who is buying tickets suddenly grabs a small, fat-faced boy who is just crawling under the tent and administers a slap or two, while she said: Shame on you, Howard Jr. Can’t you learn to behave?” It is Dorothy Egger. “Jabber, jabber, jabber. Oh. Heavens, what can the next scene be? Parrots? I should say! Virginia Roy, our exquisite darling Peggy of the class of ’24, is an old maid with several parrots for company. Feature it! Could anything be more impossible? But—she looks happy. Oh. she is listening; she hears some one. The door quietly opens and Bernice Coon-Crockett, wife of Coach Crockett of the University of Grants Pass, walks in to pay her old classemate a visit. “Oh. Peggy, she exclaims, “Have you heard the latest? Well, you know. I’ve never had much faith in Mintie Wilhelm’s new invention, that of sticking a needle on the tip of a banana and hearing the news from all over the world. This morning I was playing with the thing and I heard the most startling news. Edith Spaulding has become insane from overwork and is now coaching the girls’ basketball team in Salem. Twee Isham is also there leading the Rooters Club. See the line of people standing in front of this show-window. What can it be? Oh, look! Doris Condit, beauty specialist, is demonstrating a new freckle lotion which she has perfected. She has put some lotion on the face of her helper, Clara Loughridge, and in just a minute we shall see how it works. Oh! the experiment is perfect. Another stage. We are just in time to hear an announcement. Mademoiselle Mora Baird, a pupil of Pavlowa, will now with her classic and aesthetic dancers interpret the “Swan Song.” How thrilling! I always knew she would become famous in this world. Some of the members assisting her are Theodore Steiwig, Stanley Lawton and Vera Wilbur. The scene changes to a room, greatly resembling a library. I can almost smell the musty books. An old, wizened, dried up man is diligently working at a table in the room. A book. “ The Phrouselufology of Caequitmentorum,” by Elsie Patton, a noted author of the day, lies open before the man. A man-servant mysteriously appears and announces, “Mr. Bailey, a lady to see you, sir.” The man looked up, sighed and answered, “Show her in.” “Ah, Miss Rader, how glad I am to see you,” said Honkie, as a lovely young woman swept into the room. “What can I do for you?” Page Thirteen
