Makammapllp Intnmtrlt dHartsBimn flntfioBrltky’s Wax Murks Foreword:—The owners of the names that have been rendered immortal in this addition to he world’s best literature will please remove all chips from their shoulders and carefully deposit all feelings in their inside pockets before reading. Scene 1. Enter Madamoiselle Prutzoschky Ladies and Gentlemen—You are all such an intellectual looking bunch that I am sure you will enjoy my imported wax figures to the extent of busting several tucks. They are the finished product of that bunch of omnivorous sharks better known as the Faculty. They were subjected to the galling grind of four years of hard graft and here I display to you the pathetic result. Let us prepare to drop the flowing tear. (Here Abijali, pick it up.) The first of my collect¬ ion is the noted Professor Harold Sousa Caruso Peck.. (Napoleon and Abi, bring him on.) This handsome doll was one of the standbys in Alexander’s Rag¬ time Band, and has been unanimously chosen wielder of the big stick. His pretty plump checks have been acquired by long and faithful practice on the cornet. He has been known to blow so hard that he busted his forth suspender button. Off with him Nap. My next creation is the famous Madame Squallina. Behold her Psyche knot! (Excuse me! she left it home to-day) and the ecstatic smile that won’t wear off. Both are signs of a great genius. Ma¬ dame Squallina’s name comes from “squa” meaning to sing, and “lena,” cannot. Her singing is world famous (extends from here to Hill Plaza) and at times she has been known to awaken even Carter Pliair by her wild bird-like tones. I perceive by the expression of her face that she is about to indulge in one of her emotional out¬ breaks. Do not be alarmed, however, she is fully insured. —29—

THE ENTERPRISE, ’13 Aha! the Latin sharp! Bring her on, my little Abi! Poor thing she’s a little off, but she can’t help it. It’s the effect of too much Latin. List to her wild ravings,—She’s after poor Cataline’s scalp. Pinch her, Napoleon! Hear her, ‘‘Pax-vo-bis-cum, Pax-vo-bis- cum. ’ ’ Let a mystic stillness pervade the audience. Prepare for the worst! You are now to be glorified by a vision of lovely dreaminess in the form of northern California’s next-to-the-youngest poetess, Genevieve Snowdrop Lord Wellington Mott! Her effusions would move Prof. Smith’s automobile, and her limericks would inspire the risibility of a Jersey Cow. Wind her up, Abijah! Now she’s off. “Paul Sales has a classy cap, Wonder where lie got it at!” Mrs. Napoleon, Mrs. Abijah! beware of this next great, big, beautiful doll! she’s a heart-smasher. Attendants, keep your eyes firmly fixed on the floor. Ethelina Roll-em-eyes Haul has discover¬ ed the ideal way to draw-viz: with her eyes,—no need for.the pencil. There, turn her toward the wall, Abijah, so that she can’t bewitch the audience. My next creation will be pleasing to one and all,—the world famous culinary artiste, Madamoiselle Fifi deMaupassant—“Mop” for short. This delicate young hash-slinger has astounded the whole Christian Science Department with her concoctions, and has conquered the whole masculine sex with her digestion - destroying dainties. She will now distribute samples of her deadly work. Sling ’em a doughnut, Mop! Look-out Napoleon, you’re young and deli¬ cate. If it hits you, you’re a dead one! Behold! Gaze! Admire! The celebrated Signor Caruso Pompa- dorini. Prepare to weep at his dulcet tones! Fortunately lie’s deaf and can’t hear his own mournful music, for if he could he’d melt and trickle away through a crack in the floor. Notice the luxuriant growth of hair flowing in either direction from his noble brow—the result of four years of careful training. Hence the name—Pompa- dorini. He’s off—remove him quick! —30—
