Shift to two women approaching — one tall and having the appearance of a second Mrs. Rockefeller McCormick — the other short and wearing five inch heels. We accompany them to the reception hall where they are announced as Miss Welthyan Harmon, millionaire, and Miss Florence Watkins, opera singer. Rapid shifts of scenes showing different parts of hall. (Close up of one group, talking, in which we recognize John Porter, the astronomer, who is spending his life in inventing a means of going to Mars in a bullet.) (Close up of great mask of whiskers concealing most of his face.) The other members of the group are Hiram Hoskins, the champion swimming teacher (close up of bulging biceps) ; Herbert Woodward, Mr. Porter ' s great friend, who now is the famous keeper of the Winnetka Dog Pound, and Alfred Alschuler, head of the Latin Department at Princeton. (Fade out of group.) Shift to another group around a Steinway Concert Grand where the former Betty Millard, Jazz Composer, is playing to amuse Miss Virginia Lamson, the pro- prietress of the State Orphan Asylum of Wyoming, who seems quite shocked with such wildness of music, while Countess Wienerechnitel of Austria, nee Jane Martin, and Kenneth McKeown, the cabaret dancer, do their stuff. Shift to entrance where the famous Movie Actress Lorna Lee in actual life Miss Lucie Jacobs, appears in person followed by the Rev. Sherman Booth and Hughes Dallas, D.V.S. (Horse Doctor). Shift to the close up of beaming smile of recognition on the face of the well- known Antique Dealer — Elizabeth Hobbs. Next scene shows Miss Hobbs falling into the arms of our Movie Star who waves her petite white hand to her old cronies, Betty and Gin. Shift to entrance of V. Miller, who carries a large pen and pencil to report the reunion for the Society Column in the Winnetka Weekly Talk, and behind her trips another of the famous celebrities in our class — Miss Barbara Burlingham, concert pianist and accompanist. They greet their classmates and then (a rapid survey of the assembled crowd showing great consternation). Shift to door where a troop of assorted children enter followed by their mother, Mrs. Emma Woolfolk Wilkenson. Immediately Miss Irene Coffin, the kindergarten teacher, rushes up to care for the family. (Close up of several sizes of very young children.) Shift to corner where Dr. Alee Ann Clark, an upcoming young surgeon, doctors up a bruised knee of one of the Wilkensons. Enter a person hardly recognized in his cut-away and cravat as our old football star Harry Wells. (Close up of his card on which is engraved Mr. Harry Wells, Dancing Instructor. ) Shift to three new figures around the piano — Mr. Gould Davies, dressed in the finery collected from his hock-shop for the occasion — a pompous figure standing next to him — the eminent Butter-and-Egg man, Richard Canterbury Mandeville, and Norman Johnson, President of the Johnson, Inc., Advertising Co., and at the present moment busy originating a new soap slogan. Enter the well-known Beardslee Beauties from the Follies of 1943, with Miss Elizabeth Sutherland, the ballet dancer of the same company. At that moment enter Bill Sullivan with a portfolio of his famous cartoons under his arm. The class now complete, they indulge in various pleasures, ending in a large assortment of refreshments. (Close up of plates piled high.) THE END. COMING NEXT YEAR THIS SAME COMPANY Starring in THE JOLLY JUNIORS and SPECIAL COMEDY FEATURES Page 25
