55255 Wahiecy It's true. I must have won the grand prize in the Trip to Movielandn contest, for here I am on the train bound for Hollywood, California. The drone of the wheels becomes more indistinct as the train rumbles on into the night. The hostly train whistle can be heard in the distance, and all at once it seems that I have arrived in Hollywood. As I step from the platform, the crowd starts to cheer, and the band begins to play. Suddenly a pom ous gentleman steps toward me and introducing himself as the Mayor of Holllywood, presents me with the golden key to the city. Coming out of the daze that this excitement had brought on I realized that this was none other than Bob Harrington. Maybe it was the Ronald Coleman mustache that deceived me. For a minute I saw red, and discovered it was my old classmate, Mary Brislin, pulling out melodious notes on the tuba. Frank Hinds, Robert Cassin, Shiela Carroll, and jimmy Dervin were also making considerable noise. I was hustled into an open car and to my surprise the chauffeur was Diana Woods.
