Studio personal maids-Charlotte White, Geraldine Livingston. Critic Stenographers- Nancy Mortimer, Dolores Eckle, Francis Weber. But in Hollywood one can't ever read a program in peace. The voices of the 1960 movie gossips, not Luella Parson but Grace Borland, Alverna Boyle and Mary Cuccaro. The French ballet star, Lillian Bates has just given them an account of her latest romance, which involves the popular playboy, Bob Dailey. Her per- sonal attendants, Irma Sprecher and Jill Swartz escort her to her room where she is awaited by her life-long friend and dame de compagne. The cameras are about to roll and I concentrate once again on the program and the cast. Governor-Lois Love. Minister--Dwight Ferguson. Colored Maid-Doris Brooks. Belle fingenuel-Florence Prusnak. Don Juan fher loverl-Paul Boyce. Percy liealous husbandl-Ronald Socash. Gilda fBelle's maidj-Martha Van Dyke. My attention is brought again to the stage and l see the final scene of our movie. Norma Yokum has Pearl Marshall in a hammer lock. Jerry Vogel and Herb Fogal, M. G. M. talent scouts have discovered these two lady wrestlers. Andy Walter shouts Cut! and the film is off to Dean Campbell to be developed. He will send it off to the Mars Theatre where we'll see it in complete form. This theatre, under the ownership of Jerry Warman is featuring Barbara Mekis, re- nowned character actress and movie critic and the Oesterling trio of which Eleanor Oesterling is a part. lt is definitely the best thing that has been in Mars in years. lt is good enough to bring all the young married couples on opening night. Doris Steeb, cashier, sells tickets to Donna Nebel, now Mrs. Schneider, Dot Wilson whoa Mrs. Rezzetano and Maxine Farringer, Mrs. Frank Harvey. Mary Lou Fulton, the new Mars kindergarten teacher is accompanied to her seat by one of the two ushers, Elder Rape and Charles Steightner. Jerome Hornyak makes his appear- ance with some new doll. The lights dim and nostalgicmemories flood our minds. The production of the year! The class of a lifetime! 25

oming .!gffl 6LCfl:0lfL:5 Adventure! Thrills! Suspense! Laughs! The most warmly human hit of the century, A New Life Downs. The studios of M. G. M. are buzzing with excitement about their new thrilling production. Two far-sighted men, Donald Gentry and Vic Fichter. Realizing the extra- ordinary talent and human interest of the Mars High Class of '51 sat back to observe and after I0 years set out to write the box office winner of the year. Of course, in reading the script we detect the hand of one who had better mastered the English language than either of these two gentlemen, Lois Karl, famous author. And now that we're behind the curtain let's iust take a peek and see who is responsible for the filming of the lives of our colleagues. There must be a boss. Oh. Yes! Here in the front office of M. G. M. we see Norman Bartley, feet on desk and cigar in hand. And with whom is he so heatedly arguing? Oh. James Clifton Park, the star of the show. Let's iust sneak over and grab an earful. But Mr. Park, Beverly Kalmeyer has that IT quality, screen siren, you know. Just shows how blind you are, Bartley. Any fool could see that the role was written for an ingenue type like Mar ie Rodger. And Harry Hughes and George Brown, the producers stand idly 'by waiting for the heat to cool. A buzzer sounds and before I can get out of the doorway Alice Hiles, recep- tionist, enters to announce the arrival of Doctor Yvonne Walters and a company of nurses who have come to inspect the make-up used in the production. What's the matter? Can't you believe we're that good looking? I am surprised to recog- nize the nurses as my old classmates. Bernice Fanto, Eleanor Datt, Dorothy Hagen and Betty Ruth Boyle. It seems that Ruth Fogal, Pearl Schroder, Eleanor Rape and La Verne Zambo are involved in this make-up probe. Sooner or later it's bound to come out that they've been trying to make powder stretch by the use of A. Fritz's and Ross Jones' egg mash. What was that that iust flew post that door. This time let's go out for an eyeful. Right! lt was the famous Goldwyn girls in all their fancy frills, iust coming from the set of A New Life Downs. I recognize Norma Maier, Norma Perry, Margie Renick and Shirley McCandless lRuff!J Hey, Bub, we don't make eyes at the dames see? I glance over my shoulder to meet the sinister eyes of the Bouncer Ron Kennedy. Backing him up is the fierce looking John Blasko. I assure him that it wasn't the girls but the costumes and thus I am told that June Johnson and Nancy Welshhans are the designers. And Anna Mincer hands us programs. 24
