May, 1936. Wyndham, Lila Rook Sumrell, and Evelyn Lewis were co-editors of this magazine. Do you remember what a marvel- ous time we used to have in Mr. Mul- holland's home room listening to James Manning Tucker? Well, James Manning and his orchestra played on board every night. Har- vey Deal is the pianist and Earl Dunn croons. Harvey told me that Billy Whitehurst was on board the liner, sailing for Africa to hunt big game, but I didn't see ,him-during the entire trip. By the way, your own dear cousin, Geraldine Harris, appeared in a drama one nights on board, but she was so tired after the performance that we couldn't see her. When we arrived at Le Havre, it was cool and damp and I took a plane for Paris. It didn't surprise me to see Louis Wil- kerson piloting the huge ship, nor was I surprised to see Marian Tyson as air stewardess. Ethel Gaston was supposed to meet me in Paris, but she wired me that she had tripped down to her villa on the Riviera to meet her one and only, who had returnfdirfrom China. Ethel is an artist and has made quite a name for herself. I went straight to my hotel and found that Jeanne Jones, glorified chorus girl, had spent the preceding week there with Miss Mial. When I reached my suite I dropped on the bed, turned the radio on, and just as I was dozing offl heard Elizabeth Wilson in one of her famous dramatic impersonations. When I awoke -from a sound sleep I found a note from Hill Horne ask- ing me to be his guest at the opera. Hill, you know, is doing research work at the Sorbonne. The opera was Carmen and Dorothy Hollar took the lead. After the opera we went to a sidewalk cafe lowned by Ralph Tuckery and had a mid- night snack . He told us that Dora Gorman was being starred in The Follies Bergeref' On the way back to the hotel we met Harry Rountree, millionaire play boy. Harry told us that he had hired Ada Kelly Smith's orchestra for a reception. After say- ing good night to Hill I went up to my suite and as I inserted the key , GREEN LIGHTS in the lock a very handsome young man dashed around the corner and winked boldly at me. I inquired of a passing bell hop as to his identity, and he was quite shocked to learn that I didn't know Bill Clark, gay young Lochinvar of gay Pareef' About the same time I heard an awful noise in the above hall, and taking an elevator to discover its ori- gin, I found Morris Bland, assistant to Charles Atlas, inviting a bill col- lector out. The chambermaid sent word to me that my bed was ready, and when I reached my room I found a beauti- ful bouquet from Dorothy Dunn, mannequin at Roberta's in Paris. Mary R. May is the owner of this ex- clusive shop. The next morning as I prepared to check out I noticed the names of Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Humbles, Cyou re- member her as Estelle Baldreej, on the register. I tried to get down to Vienna, where a festival was being held, but time didn't allow such. I knew that Marian Carroll was telling fortunes down there and Bernice Ellers ap- pearing in boxing matches, but I was slightly surprised to hear that J. Roy Barker and Gilbert Peele were in the photography business down there. Phoebe N isbet had been chosen queen of the festival. I hurried on to Switzerland, stop- ping once at a small wayside inn operated by Helen Hyman and Annie Joyner, formerly Olympic stars. George Clark is chief of police in Geneva and I had the pleasure of dining with him and his wife and their five children. From George I learned that James Joyner runs a dairy in Geneva. I CONGRATULATIONS The Ladies Store WILLIAMS' I Page N ine I circlediaround by Germany and discovered, very, very much to my surprise Rachel Broadhurst working in a factory where they can weiners. You told? me about Edith Field's expression class out there in Cali- fornia, but why didn't you tell me of the success of Edna Moore as Zazu Pitts' understudy, and the success of Edith Forrest? Give Quinn and all the quintup- lets my regards and write me soon. Cheerio, A Frances Spilman, M. D.
