Mayoress OLD HOME YVEEKIIUMBER ' VOL, 1 EAST LIBERTWI, PA., JANUARY 26, 1950 GREAT NEWS Gentle readers and friends of this newspaper: The metropolis of East Liberty has grown exceedingly within the last twenty years. Great buildings and additions have sprung up as if by magic. Great men and women have left our midst and have become famlous. Many, of course, have stayed within the shadow of such stupendous buildings as the Rex Theatre, Inc. and the Wren Photographers, Delux. They, too, have reached success, and their own home town of East Liberty is proud of them. Shall we say town? East Liberty is a city of which ev- ery loyal son and daughter should be inspired. So it is fitting that a date should have been set aside for an Old Home Week. The Cham- ber of Commerce Committee, con- sisting of Mr. Thomas Boyd, Mr. Roger Ingham, Mr. Thomas Zug- smith and Mrs. Richard Cimiotti, have announced that next week will be the time chosen for this occasion. Then the colossal city of East Lib- erty will welcome back home all of her children with open arms. HE KNOWS SOMETHING Dr. Edward Waldfogle, the pop- ular lecturer. will give a serious talk on Science. His topic will be: Physics As I Know It. ALASl One of our dear friends. we learned today, will not be able to attend the Old Home VVeek Cele- bration. The late James Porter, Esq., famous inventor, unfortunate- ly was testing a new aeroplane of Henry Ford's. The motor, how- ever, fell out thus causing a rapid descent on the part of the aforesaid machine. -.. .i A SHARP MIND Mr. Donald Kean, noted philan- thropist. will debate on the subject: Resolved, That if a thumbtack comes in contact with the lower extremities of a descending body, there is bound to be trouble. Mr. William Bogler will take the nega- tive. He is an accepted optimist. A GREAT SCHOLAR IN OUR MIDST Miss Dorothy Glasshurn will re- turn home from college next week. She has been attending the Pilsbury College. where she has won several mold medals. She has been at Pils- hury for the past ten years. because she resolved some time ago to stay in that college until she should be able to graduate with highest hon- or and have learned something in the bargain. It is rumored by some of the old-timers that she did grad- uate at one time from Peabody High School with highest honor, but as to whether she learned any- thing-well-they can't remember. NIFTY NOVELISTS Miss Ruth Osgood and Mr. Er- win Beck have collaborated in writ- ing their new novel The Flop of a Final Finale. This novel is said to be their best attempt in the field of literature. Keep it up, friends! East Liberty is- proud of you. LOVES MUSIC The enchanting lady, whom we remember as Miss Jane Rhodes, has been married recently to the director of the Metropolitan Sym- fony Orchestra. Miss Rhodes is extremely fond of music. CHUMS SCORING A HIT IN NEW YORK Another two of our friends will be back next week in the musical comedy What Mice Glory? The song-hit is So's Your Old Man , written by the stars. The words are: Says Mistress Ploesch to Mistress Powell Don't you get fresh, or I will howl -l.ii...m STAGE AND MOVIE NEWS Mr. Herman Lipsitz, the great American tragedian, will appear at the Sheridan Opera House in the marvelous production of the foot- ball tragedy entitled The All-Am- erican Rag-man . It was written by Mlr. Joseph McKenna and is being staged by Mr. Handsome Harry Mould. The Hon. Samuel Milai, whom the Old East Libertyers will re- member as a youthful and versatile artist Cespecially on the banjob, will give a jazz concert while vis- iting this town during the celebra- tion. The Ochiltree Sisters, Em and Peg, have gone on the stage. They are said to rival the famous Dolly Sisters, who are now in the Old Ladies Home. They are expert toe dancers and specialize in the Mclieesport strut, which is even more graceful than those good old- fashioned dances, the Charleston and the Flee-Hop. Mr. Evan Jones has become the darling of the New York Cabarets. He is an expert pianist. In fact, he plays so well, one is often mis- led into beflievting that someone has put a nickle in the automatic player piano. PoE'r's CORNER , ai' Editor's Ndte?Here are -'Qme examples of the genius of our me grown poets who are coming' ack next week. ' SPRING Ha! Hal Hol Hoi . The sun shines brightp But do you know 'Tis not at night? Prof. Claude Morris MOONLIGHT f Oh the tulips! the tulips! Sweet as the intoxicating smell Of mint juleps, mint juleps Just pulled up from the old soak- en well. Sarah Gibson Editor's Note-Here is'an exam- ple of a short story Classicist, Charles Kenny. He says this is true: TRUE STORY OF COUNTESS BUSHWA' For thirty days I had been rov- ing about the unkempt streets of Zelienople, when suddenly I came across my old friend, the Count of Frydham, who was for years the Beau Brummel of the English court. I met him at Fifth and Wylie avenues. He asked me about my collection of wooden nickles and cigar butts. It was about three days after our meeting that I first heard of my fourth ex- husband's death. I was very much concerned at this, for we had I hot-dog stand down in Coney Is- land. I found out that the cause of his death, was the attempt to steal the Steel Works in Home- stead. He was mysterioully found hanged in his closet. The verdict at the inquest was, that my fourth ex-husband must have hung up his coat without taking it off. Finally I embarked for England where I toured, posing as a tru- ant officer for a correspondence school. I saw London and Dover, I went to Buckingham, Stratford- on-Avon, Suffolk-on-Roller Skates, and wound up at Chester-on-Stretch- ers. Any one who can figure out my life will receive the photograph of the Crown Jewels of Russia. Should there be a tie. college stripes will be worn by all members of Sing Sing University and bat wings will be worn exclusively by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Charles Kenny SACRIFICE Oh. I'm a poet, Tra-la-la , And you don't know it, Tra-la-la I want a man tl1at's strong and free Who'll spend his dough all on me. Marie Chess
