THE PIQUONIAN Twenty Years Prom Now H 'M GOING to get turkey, cranberry sauce, au gratin potatoes, caviar, perfection salad, strawberry shortcake--- sighed the bride, happily. Whoa! Darling, you know the family pocketbook won't permit such lavish expendi- ture, admonished the husband in a cooing voice. They were obviously newlyweds. One could almost see rice dropping from their clothing. The charming couple was just entering the magnificent Palm Crest hotel, the most exclusive one in Palm Beach, Florida. This large hotel was owned by Louise Hill and Ruth Howard and was efficiently managed by John Frontz. The hostess was that very capable individual, Antoi- nette Thoma. The newlyweds registered as Mr. and Mrs. Marion Vosler, of Piqua, Ohio. The clerk looked at them increduously. Why, I know you! he gasped. You're Marion Vosler and Jeanette Fisher, my old schoolmates. I haven't seen you for twenty years. Don't you remember me? I'm Woodrow Klauerf' The three engaged in reminiscences for a few minutes. As the newlyweds turned to leave, they noticed another couple approaching, arrayed in golf clothes. Mrs. Vosler cried, Why, Louise Elbrecht! What are you doing here? Mrs. Kerns, corrected that lady. Ralph and I are here to compete in the National Open Gold tournament. The four proceeded to the hotel restaurant. What well-planned menus! exclaimed Mrs. Vosler. Oh, yes. You know Marjorie Louis is the dietician here, said Mrs. Kernsg she's really very famous for her ability to arrange well-balanced meals. After leaving the restaurant the foursome took one of the William Stilwell Silver Stream- lined taxis to the Palace theatre, owned by john Angle. This theatre was presenting a special show for the benefit of charity. The following program was handed to them: Rajah-Foremost Magician of the World-Roger Middleswart CAssisted by Paul South, Melba Gray, and Onnolee Hudsonj May and Culpepper-Agile Acrobats 'cIg1hifTgilling Trio-Kathryn Elliott, Lucille Erb, and Evelyn Peters fAccompanied by Viola ri es Virginia Harris-Blues Singer Florence Kronenberg-Saxaphone Player jimmy Packman-Tap Dancer Looking around at the audience Mrs. Vosler spied Mr. and Mrs. Robert Poling CFlorence Fogtj who had been married recently. Then they noticed a woman with a ferocious scowl on her face. The usher informed them that it was Betty Armstrong, a columnist and dramatic critic. On leaving the theatre the little group visited the Howling Dog Night club owned by Rose Moniaci. They enthusiastically applauded the beautiful dancers, Muzetta Hentrich, Doris Finfrock, Dorothy Isensee, and Pauline Hudson. Indeed, Mr. Vosler was so enthusiastic that he wanted to join the ladies and demonstrate his ability as an adagio dancer. The music for the dancing was furnished by Harry McMaken's Merry Moaners. This orchestra consisted of Bob Reed, Bob Buchanan, Joe Bundschuh, Bob Gard, and Roy Carson. The director an- nounced, Berneda Williams, featured soloist. Mrs. Kerns began to hum the piece which the orchestra was playing. I like that, she remarked. What is it? Oh, that's 'Rhythmic Rumba', answered her husband. james Drewry wrote the music and Beulah Potter composed the lyrics. Cigarettes, cigars, candy! The cigarette girl came sauntering by the table. Bless my soul! exclaimed Mr. Vosler, if it isn't my old pal, Lucille Carey. The night club then went on the air. ! 1 9 3 4 PAGE TWENTY Two
