gt; gm the stats 4:08 . . . American Airlines arriving from Hollywood, calls the voice over the loud speaker at the beautiful Lunken Airport, Cincinnati's largest airdrome. The huge silver plane swooping earthward resembles the flight of an eagle. The plane finally makes a perfect three-point landing, and the passengers slowly alight As the crowd surges forward, clamoring for autographs. we suddenly recognize LORRAINE SCHMITT, Cincinnatils own gift to the Dietropolitan. F01- lnwing close behind is her social secretary, CATHERINE HERB. B'liss Schmitt, who is attempting to push her way through the large crowd. is approached by several newspaper reporters: SYLVIA THOMAS from the Times Star, GERTRUDE ECKHOFF ot' the Enquirer, and HELEN RAPIEN from the Post. Cincinnati's heroine finally pulls away from the reporters, but alas! waiting to one side is another interviewer, BETTY MLAE XVILMES, whose radio program, Arriving 0r Leavingi'n is a current success. As we observe several of the other passengers, we see. sharing honors with the prima-donna. the movie actress, BETTY JANE HERBERT, who recently won an Academy Award Oscar for her grand performance in Black Victory. Accompanying the actress is her personal make-up artist, AVIARIAN FINDLEY, and also the famous hairdresser, Ieanne Antoine tknown to her home-town friends as HELEN ZOBAXj. At the sudden roar of a motor, we turn around to see a large TWA trans- port plane from New York gliding down the first run-way. Arriving on this ' plane is the author of the current best-seller, nAbraham Lincoln, Gentleman and President. MARGARET BRAUN. We also recognize her fellow traveler, VERA LENTZ, who stirred the souls of the nation by her inspiring poem, Dim Horizon. Peering through the plane window is another acquaintance of Ours, IADIE PAGANO, the stewardess, quite proud of her uniform of trim beige. She is talking to another celebrity, ROSEMARY LAMPE, the first woman in the city to bowl 500 . This must he the day of celebrities, for aboard this same plane is the famous, geologist, THELMA LITTNER, returning from exploring the ruins of the Inca Temple of Sauth America. Now let us stroll over to the beautiful Administration Building, very recently dedicated to the people of this city. Here we are shown the famous murals which have made Lunken Airport of national renown in art circles. While talking to our guide. we suddenly realize that it is none other than Our old friend, FRANCES STOLL, who reminds us that another of our acquaintancesr ALMA KEILHOLZ, whose pleasing personality has won the admiration of all patrons, is working in. this beautiful structure. It is getting late, therefore, we must hurry, for Wliss Schmitt must get to her hotel and rest before her performance at Music Hall. Waiting in front of the Administration Building in her beautiful limousine is Mrs. de Preme,. formerly MARIE CONNOR. She is the happy mother of darling young twinsh Page 23
