22 THE CLEVELANDER in Asia? What is happening everywhere and what does it all mean? joseph Cannizzaro, our ace News Analyst, will tell you through the courtesy of Dorothea Pietrocola and Lena Manganello Biscuit Company. This biscuit is guaranteed by Albert Perfetto, the noted chemist, to be absolutely pure and the best diet for famished sea gulls. Take a few along on your next yacht ride and you'll be able to enjoy your lunch in peace. May I present Joseph Cannizzaro. Joseph Cannizzaro: The most encouraging piece of news indicating a definite trend toward toler- ance is the Equal Rights for Men movement started in Buffalo by Jack Merlino, joseph Militello and Edward Nassar. Their meeting, however, grew so enthusiastic that the speaker of the evening, Mr. Militello, had to raise his voice to be heard. A squadron of plain clothes women including Mary Fedele, Marie Edholm, Mary Daher, and Fanny Barone under the supervision of Sergeant Helen Flynn raided the hall on the grounds that they had broken an antifnoise ordinance. When the case was brought before Federal judge Louise Costanzo she released the boys on a suspended sentence and a warning, Don't ever do it again or next time you'll be deprived of lollypops for a week. The Far East engages our attention. It seems that a contingent of American women under the leadership of Jennie Aiello, Camille Manguso, Frances Fiorella, and Mary Lo Curto scaled the mounf tains of Tibet and found The Lost Horizon g Isadore Adornetto, that 'rugged individual, got even with the invaders by refusing to let them buy more than two ice cream cones a day at the soda founf tains of which he has a monopoly. Right here in New York State a speech was made by Merwyn F. Kirk, advocate of free air for all, that stirred the hearts of his listeners. Mr. Kirk charged that certain capitalists had gained a conf trol and a monopoly over the air supply and were using it to exploit the masses. Samuel Parks, his pressfagent, compared the speech with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address because of the silence in which it was received. Marie Amoroso, a sob sister for the New York Times, said that the speech afforded plenty of material for her daily column which is entitled, For Crying Out Loud! This is just about all in the general news today, folks, so your winsome correspondent, Joseph Cannizzaro, will sign off until tomorrow! Announcer: Joseph Palumbo, that incomparable singer who has won laurels in the opera, on the air, and on the screen is here today to favor us with a song! What are you going to sing, joe? Joe: Answer. Announcer: The mike is yours, Joe . . . Thank you, Joe! That was fine. And now, folks, you all know that today is dedicated to the honor of the class of '37. You have seen some of the achievements which they have made. As a matter of sentiment we have with us today the Historian of the class of '37. She will read to us its history. Announcer: Virgil Gianni, our topfhole sports reporter, has been simply bursting with news about the happenings in the field of sports. Virgil Gianni: Hello, everybody. Did you hear about the close race the shell of Vassar gave to the Smith College crew? They tried hard but it was impossible for Elizabeth Eble, rowing No. 1, and Madeline Haley, rowing strokes, along with their coxswain, Grace Monte, to keep the other six girls of Vassar up to the strenuous pace set by Catherine Fenton, Mary Campbell, Sarah Aronica, Dorothy Carr, Rosalia Catalano, Helen Collins, Lucille Conforto, Edith Cowan and Coxswain Alice Evans, who guided the Smith shell. to victory. Angela Morreale led the cheers for the Vassar rooters. Recently our attention was drawn to the interest of the public in women wrestling matches at the Broadway Auditorium. We dropped in last night to see what they were all about. Especially exciting was the match between Tillie Aronica and Evelyn Biondola. The two girls tugged at each other's hair for ten minutes and then fell, exhausted, into each other's arms. Gladys Balfour also put on a sprightly bout with Jeanette Battaglia. The matches were promoted by Pearl Carr and proceeds were given to the fund for crippled wrestlers. Another item of interest is the winning of the Kentucky Derby by Dynamite, ridden by jockey Mary Giancarlo. Having a woman jockey win the Derby is stupendous.

THE CLEVELANDER 21 getic, go-getting, traveling saleswomang Betty Darrow, the muchfsoughtfafter chorus girl, and Helen Cannon, the girl who likes to stay at home with her knitting. The picture is directed by the biggest director in Hollywood, Robert Maher, with Carmelo Monaco creating the lovely gowns. Mary Gra' ham, the crack dramatic critic for the New York Times, gives this picture four Stars which is pretty good because the director only gave it two. Incidently folks, I hear that there has been a splitfup in the partnership between the successor to Boris Karloff, Gasper Catanzaro, and the successor to Lon Chaney, Anthony Montoro. Flash! Earl Broxup is ill because the box office retums on his last picture were so large that the company closed down and retired on the proceeds. You remember the picture, don't you, The Great Lover Steps Out with Muriel Hall as Earl's leading lady. Well fans, I guess that's about all for today. Announcer: Now we have a real treat in store for you. In the studio today are those two partners of frenzied frivolity, Bob Maher and Joe Guerra: Hy ya! Boys! joe and Bob: Hy ya! Bill! joe: Say Bob, d, d, d, did you hear what I heard? Bob No, what did you hear? Joe : Oh-something! Bob No! joe: Yes! It's about Jeanette Marciano, Catherine Rampino, Lena Tona, and Mary F. Lauria. Bob Well I don't want to be nosey, but what is it? Joe: Nope, I don't think I ought to tell. Bob Aw come on! I promise not to tell a living soul. joe : Well, they opened a beauty shop on the corner of Main and Utica and they're specializf ing in putting curls in pigs' tails. Bob: Well 'pon my word, that is something. I always knew those girls were original. By the way, I have a choice piece of news for you. joe : Now don't tell me if you shouldn't. What is it? Bob: Well, Flora Shea, Carmella Schiavone, Jennie Granelli, and Concetta Licata were disgusted with the present crop of gigolos, so they opened a school to teach bashful boys how to become first class gigolos. The first applicants were Francis McGroder, Charles Alessi, Henry Buccella, Salvaf tore Marsiglia and Louis Migliore. Announcer: And now we have Leanora Funseth, our society reporter, who attended the Ball at the inauguration of the President, Charles J. Mattea. Leanora Funseth: Never have I seen so many splendid gowns! The peculiarity about this year's ball is that all the men were bachelors. There are no members either of the House, the Senate, or of the President's Cabinet who are married. They did, however, escort some very beautiful ladies among whom were Jean McIntyre and Jedidah Montgomery, all done up in red velvet. Other familiar faces were Juliet Carnevale, Bernice Carey, June Bradley, Laura Gerow, and Rose Gino. All these girls wore the original creations of Albert Saccamagno who has set a new high with his aesthetic genius. The orchestra at the ball was Frank Cascino's Swingonians. It was fun to watch our sedate guests jeep to this red hot dance band. Some of the Senators are pretty good jeepers. Angelo La Mastra, Senator from New York, joseph Licata, from Hawaii, John Colangelo, from Utopia, and joseph Crimi, the warden of Sing Sing, were keeping up with the best of them. I was shocked when I found Frank Nigro, the man behind the President, off in a corner talking to Nicholas Guerra in a fatherly tone and warning him of the timefwasting evils resulting from dancing. I could just go on and on about this ball which was so excellently organized by Vincent Paris, who is known throughout the world as The Organizer of Organizers. Vincent was seen scurrying hither and thither, never taking a moment's rest, just to see that everything came off well, Good-bye . . . Announcer: What is happening in Europe? What is happening in America? What is happening

THE CLEVELANDER 23 Before I give you the illusion that sports are going wholly female I must report that the Buffalo Bisons pulled out of training camp today with joseph Christopher, Charles La Mendola, and Victor Gennuso holding down the posts of first, second, and third basemen respectively. In the annual Swim Festival we find Frank Pace romping off with the first prize for allfround excellence. We believe that marathon contests come under the heading of sports, so we will give the results now, of the Talk Marathon which is going on in the Broadway Auditorium. Beatrice Costello is in front and still going strong after 100 hours of steady speech. Observers, however, say that Mary Corallo, Doris Chalmers, and Mabel Joseph are not yet to be counted'out of the running. In the try-out for the Olympic games Harriet Kleckner won the privilege of representing Uncle Sam in the running broad jump, Edna Inglis won first place in the pole vault, Sarah Calandra came in ahead of the others in the women's high hurdles, and Mary Gianturco was given a permanent position on the relay team. Au revoir until tomorrow night. Announcer: We have, as the next number on our program, a song by that silveryfvoiced minstrel of the stage, Samuel Pascal. Announcer: Thank you, Sammy! And now may I present Catherine Lyons, our book critic, who will discuss some popular, and some not so popular books. Catherine: I am simply thrilled over Josephine Sc0zzaro's book on present day conditions abroad. It is entitled, Which Way to Turn, and the question is raised concerning the ominous situation growing between Dictator Salvator N. Tabone and Dictator Salvator M. Tabone. It seems that each is receiving the other's mail which is enough to complicate anything. International Mediator Elinor Sorenson and her committee for Arbitration, Kathleen Robinson, Marie MacPherson, Dorothy Rosso, and Rose Trifilo seem to be quite capable of soothing the agitated brows of these powerful men. The History of Grover Cleveland, compiled by Marian Phillips and Winifred Robertson, tells all about this famous school. It goes down through the years and picks out the principal personalities of the various classes. It is significant that the class of 1937 contributed its just share to the school's prestige. Gone With the Monsoon, a novel by Harold H. Gertz, emphasizes the speed with which the warm winds of the class room carry the ideas past the pupil's heads. A particularly interesting book is You Can't Bluff When You Get to the Stove. This book has ten chapters and each chapter is written by a different author. Mary Castrianno writes the chapter on How to Peel a Skin Without Peeling the Potatoes, Josephine Caraotta tells us The Place of the Carrot in the Diet. Mary Chiavaro demonstrates The Way to Fry a Chicken in Ten Minutes. Mary Curry in the following chapters makes our mouths water in describing the way to prepare fish. The title of this chapter is The Treatment of a Sucker. Mary Harrington writes very engagingly on What Will Make the Wandering Boy Come Home. Alice La Mantia points out Some Healthful Dishes for the Little Ones. Norma Harris waxes enthusiastic as she describes the way to boil water at just the right temperature. Petrina Catalano tells what to do until the milkman comes. Rose Monafo elucidates on the art of making pies and Helen Villari concludes with a word of encouragement for all the newly married girls who find themselves looking blankly when their husbands push them in front of a stove and say, Cook The book has been very heartily recommended by The Tasters Club which is a gathering of men who have declared themselves critics of fine foods and volunteer to test any new recipe on the market. President Joseph Sedita and the members of his cabinet, joseph Reina, William Blomberg, and Angelo Randiso all declare the recipes in this book eatable. Announcer: That's all we have time for, Catherine. Come again another day. Well, well, well, if it isn't our old friend, Richard Guarino. How've you been, Ricky ol' boy, ol' boy, ol' boy? Richard: Oh, I've been here and there around the country giving concerts. Remember Frank Grisanti?
