aZ!m9Sz2wa A PLAY IN ONE ACT Characters: Betty Craig Elizabeth Hill Marden Armstrong Scene: fThe curtain rises, revealing the living room of Elizabeth Hill's modern apartment in the year 1950. It is furnished in modern colonial style, with chintz-covered furni- ture and booklined walls. Seated on a low divan, Elizabeth Hill is engrossed in the 1938 Lebanon Log. Suddenly she is startled by a knock, and rising, she opens the door, admitting Betty Craig and Marden' Armstrongj ELIZ: Hello! I was hoping that you'd drop in. I've found an old Log, and have been having a grand time looking through it. BETTY: Oh, good! I misplaced mine years ago. MARD: That ought to be loads of fun. CThey all sit down, the Log in front of them.j BETTY: flaughingj How funny everyone looks! MARD: Aren't those hair styles rare? ELIZ: Incidentally, I wonder if Adella Jaspert still has such gorgeous golden hair. MARD: I saw her sister, Betty, the other day. You know sl1e's a model at Marshall Fields now. BETTY: Yes, and Bertha Beitler and Mary Hanover model there too. ELIZ: Oh look, here's Dick Anderson. Hels a bouncer at the Yacht Club Casino. BETTY: Betty Prescott sings there now. They say that she's quite a hit. MARD: While we're on the subject of hits, did you see the latest play Jack Stauff pro- duced, starring Marion Stafford? It was a grand success, and Bob Zwinggi was a per- fect leading man. ELIZ: Did either of you see Bob Bacon at the Stanley last week? He's really a top-notch comedian. I hear that he's going on the radio next month. BETTY: Our class members should really go places on the radio now that Bob Leathers is president of N.B.C., and Harold Moore is chief electrical engineer. ELIZ: Yes, and look at Jim I-Iuntsberger and I-Ial Calvert. They really have done a good job, taking the place of Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy, haven't they? MARD: But even Hal couldn't come between Jim and Paul Hughes. Paul is their man- ager now. Oh, all this radio talk reminds me, Alice Louise Rager sang on the Metro- politan Opera broadcast last Saturday afternoon. Did either of you hear her? BETTY: No, but I heard Jim Weisel sing last Thursday night at Syria Mosque. He got twelve curtain calls. Do you know who's coming next month? ELIZ: Yes, Mary Louise Berkovitz. She's one of the outstanding concert pianists today. MARD: Oh, look, here's Pat Ulam. I wonder what she's doing now. ELIZ: Why, she's a home economics expert at Heinz. Lenora Imrie does the same type of work there, too. BETTY: Did you know Nancy McKelvie and Edith Swartz were home for a visit? They're career women and have their own apartment in New York. MARD: Ed Gaber is a chemistry professor at Pitt. Here's his picture. He hasn't changed a bit. BETTY: While we're on the subject of chemistry, did you know that Dick Miller is Head of Mellon Institute, and A1 Hofrichter is his assistant? They say that they're doing great things out there. ELIZ: Oh, here's Jack Whitehi1l's picture. Remember when he supported the library with the fines he paid? BETTY: And here's Bob Wheeler. I'l1 never forget the time he wrecked his mother's car. MARD: I wonder if Dot Morris has learned yet that a car needs gas to go uphill. I sup- pose that these bacteriologists are a trifle absent minded, though. 20

ELIZ: Oh, by the way, I hear that Ray Jones was appointed traFfic commissioner. BETLTY: Look, there's Thelma Dublin. She's married now, and has twins-two adorable oys. MARD:. I was at the Century Club last week and heard Betty Volz speak. She's the president and just as attractive as she used to be. ELIZ: By the way, Dorothy Thompson was elected secretary of the International Con- gress of Women's Clubs. BETTY: flaughingj l heard the other day that Betti Vance had won a new kind of mar- athon. She talked incessantly for ten days. MARD: Here's Joe Haller. Remember when he invented an engine to be run by steam generated by Joe Salisbury and Walt McCain? CThey all laugh.j ELIZ: And there's Bud Cline. I'll never forget the time he signed up to be an usher at the class play. He certainly was embarrassed when he found out it was a girls' com- mittee. BETTY: Will you ever forget that class play? Howard Hanna, as the professor, was a scream. ELIZ: VVho is this? Why, it's Mary Brannon. I never would have recognized her. She's a champion swimmer now. BETTY: And here's Iack Creehan. He's still a good runner. I hear that he's going to the next Olympic games. MARD: Speaking of sports, the last that I heard of Dan Robb and Jack Fischer, they were both football coaches. Nice work! BETTY: This is a bit ot? the subject, but I saw Charles Dimmick yesterday. He's run- ning an employment agency and told me to come around if I lost my job. MARD: And I saw Ed Taylor last week. It was obvious that he still prefers redheads. ELIZ: Oh, here's Bud Kirkpatrick. I wonder if he's still as good-looking as ever? BETTY: He probably is. Claughingj Elizabeth, I just remembered what we came over here for. We wanted to know if you had been to see Gwen Yeagle since her appendectomy. ELIZ: Yes, I was at the hospital yesterday, and whom do you think I saw there? George Madden. He was in an automobile accident, but wasn't hurt very badly, just a broken leg and some head injuries. You'll never guess who his doctor and nurse are-George Lacy and Beatrice Hugus. Rather coincidental, isn't it? MARD: You know our class doesn't seem to have had much sickness. ELIZ: No, but don't forget those who were injured in the war. BETTY: Cslowlyj There's Gil Andreen, Frank Spreha, VValter Phillips, Virgil Johnston, and Harold Crowell. They all were decorated for bravery. MARD: Salvatore Bellini certainly did a great thing when he invented that solution to counteract poison gas. He did the world a great service. BETTY: Secretary of War is no easy job, but Clair Heatley did an admirable piece of work in that position during the war. ELIZ: When I think of those war days, I wonder how we ever lived through them. And to think that two girls from our own class, Bette Miller and Charlotte Wyman, worked right at the front. MARD: Let's change the subject. We're getting positively morbid. There's Mat Rey- nolds' picture. I saw in the paper that he's been carrying on a filibuster in the Senate during the past week. BETTY: Here's Connie Bleecker. I do like her theater column in the newspaper, don't you? She certainly was right when she chose Newton Heisley as the year's best newsreel photographer. ELIZ: While we're talking about movies, did you know that Dot Bromwich is a make-up expert at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer? MARD: Bob Seltmann is working there as a sound engineer, John Massol is chief elec- trician at Twentieth Century-Fox. BETTY: Did you see Louis Graham's last picture? He certainly is a ladies' man. ELIZ: Oth, there's Jack de Benedictis. I wonder if he still dislikes girls. BETTY: Who's this? Why it's John Cibos: I saw his paintings exhibited at the Interna- tional Art Exhibit last month. He's really becoming quite famous. MARD: I saw Ted Goldsmith buying a painting out there. He's supposed to have the finest collection in Pennsylvania. 21
