CMLLIIZEL ahlifjg gsrzioz flfifion 27 SIENHCR GLASS PRCIPIHIIECY June 30, 1958 Dear Diary: I am sorry to have neglected you the past few weeks, but some of the greatest events in my life have taken place. On June 13, as I busily proceeded in compiling material for the monthly publication Movie Capital, Sidney Tardy, one of my fellow editors, informed me that I was wanted on the phone. In a few minutes Noma French had connec- tions through and I found myself in conversation with Doyle Murphy of the World Wide Pictures, Inc. Doyle asked me to come to Hollywood as soon as possible. Naturally I was so excited over this assignment I could hardly finish business in New York and pack fast enough. At 11:30 A. M. on June 14, I left New York by rocket ship for the West coast. As the huge ship kept going higher and higher, I looked out the window. The earth looked like a molding of green and brown clay down below the ship. This being my first rocket ship trip, I thought it would get cold, but the stewardess, I recalled, had laid a con- ductable blanket over each of us when strapping us to our seats before taking off. I examined the blank- et and found it was manufactured by The North Star Company owned by Billy North. The steward- ess, who was walking down the aisle handing out newspapers, was supported bv special metal devices hanging from the ceiling of the ship to prevent her floating around in mid-air since we were out of the earth's gravity, I recognized her to be Venita Trot- ter. She told me that Marvin Edwards and Eugene Keith were also with the Rocket Line. At 9 A. M. we prepared to land at the Hollywood Airport, the time systems ran our watches back three hours and the trip had taken only 30 minutes, so we were land- ing two and a half hours before we took off. The wings folded out as we came down out of the atmo- sphere. The jet motors were turned off. and the diesel engines were turned on for the landing. As I stepped from the 160 passenger giant ship, Hays Mitchell was on hand to greet me. We boarded his all plastic helicopter for the studio, as Havs said the helicopter was much ouicker than bucking the street traffic. We landed on top of the studio roof and took the special elevator down to Dovle's office. The elevator operator was none other than Robert Bishop. We alighted on the fourth floor and Beau- tone Thornburg directed us to Doyle's private of- fice. We got down to business at once and he told me his studio wanted to make a super movie but I-Iollvwood did not have the talent thev wanted. so it would be mv iob to comb the country for new talent. Elsie Miller, his private secretarv was on hand to give me a complete account of details. The next day, which was the 15th. I left the Coast in my Duckmobile . which travels in water as well as on land, and arrived in Denver about 3 P. M. I registered at the Post Hotel and then went to tele- graph the studio, and who should be the beaming 4 clerk but Herbert Greenberg. Later in the evening I meet Ruth Ray and Jo Ann Smith in the hotel lobby. They told me that they worked at the Gov- ernment Mint in Denver. On the 16th I traveled to Kansas City where I saw Emma Lee Smith, who operates The Smith Steak House, and Jimmy Craig, who is a cattle buyer. On the 17th I arrived in Chicago. The first thing I saw made my heart leap, for there in five foot neon letters was the name ROBERT BILGER. Yes, he finally had his name in lights-there it was- Robert Bilger's Liquor Store. I checked my luggage at the Drake Hotel and began my search for undiscovered talent. My first stop was the Marshall Field Department Store. I found Emma Laura Sturdivant and Louise Rule Trenthem selling a device that defuzzes peaches. In the furniture department, Harold Good- win and Edgar Hoye were displaying the latest model television sets, while Kenneth Graham and Allen Goodwin were showing the modern living room furniture. The novel thing about this new lightweight furniture is that a child of five can pick up a couch. because it weighs only about fifteen pounds. William Davis and Frank Sexton were dis- playing a five room house with tile bath, which is delivered in one truck. Mildred Solomito was com- bining shopping with trying to keep her twelve children from wrecking the store. Sonia Rosenberg, Ruby Beaty, Levern Arnold, and Ethelda Koelz were picking over the nvlon stockings, and fussing at the clerk about the high price of 20 cents a pair. In the food department I found Carline Blanken- ship buying a packaged dinner, a complete meal from appetizer to dessert, all in one package. -G. B. Dorman, Charles Bacigalupo, Elmer D. Moore, and gllaience Dillingham were floor walkers and house ic s. On leaving the store I noticed a fimiliar figure being handled rather roughly by one of the floor walkers, and on Questioning him, I found it to be Bernard Cole being taken to the office for shop lifting. On the street I met Wava Jean Brown who is now a reporter for the Chicago Sun: she started talking at once, telling me about our old friends liv- ing in Chicago. She said that Tommie Gost now owns a chain of shoe stores: that David Garihan was manager of the Stevens Hotel and that Valeria Huff had announced her engagement to the Duke of Wellington. About this time I tried to get a word in, but before I could, Wava began telling me about her operation and after half an hour attempting to say a word, I left her standing on the sidewalk talking and taking notes. Back at the hotel, after a fruitless dav's search I left for Detroit where I registered at the Brook Cadilac. At the desk were Regina McDaniel and Hazel Trenthem. On the way to the elevator I met Nancy McArthur who said she lived with a rich uncle in Windsor. After freshening up, I left the
