20 - - -- Sabinite.-I unior. - PROPHECY OF PORTABLE 3 After an absence of about fifteen years my firm de- cided to send me back to Chicago to look after a business deal in which it was interested. Many changes can take place in fifteen years and I began to picture Chicago as I imagined it would be from what I had heard about its progress. Finally my mind drifted back to the school days at Sabin and especially to my class of 1930. My! but it seemed a long time ago! At last the day arrived when I was to start on this most interesting trip and having received my final in- structions I left the office with a fast-beating heart. The trip would take the greater part of four days and I knew that I should have plentyfof time to think about my old schoolmates and to picture them in their various posi- tions. I think I must have done a great deal of day dreaming for I was in Chicago before I realized it. From then on I s.cmed to be in a whirl of excitement. Having decided to go to a hotel and leave my bag- gage, I hailed a cab at the depot, and, as the driver brought the car to a stop with an awful jerk. I looked at him closely and whom should I see but Adam Zasino- wich. As we turned the corner I noticed a tailor shop with the name Paul Freedman, Exclusive Tailoring, across the window in gold letters. The new city hall next attracted my attention and remarking upon its beauty, Adam told me that it had been designed by Morris Arbet- man and was considered one of the finest examples of architecture in the country. My curiosity was aroused and I went in to look around. I was so busy looking that I collided with a young woman, none othrr than Bernice Marcus, who I soon learned, was happily married tf' Morris Arbetman, the architect. During tl1e short chat she told me about many of the other bcys and girls and I became so interested I decided to take time to see as many of them as possible. Bernice told me that Irvin Tvaroh had just het.. made mayor and that his olifices were on the fourth floor. Stepping into the elevator I heard a musical voice sing out. Call your floors, please. That voice struck me as being strangely familiar and glancing at the operator l recognized Leonard Sofo. Reaching the office I found the mayor with his wife. the former Bernice Mes'row, and his private secretary. Esther Bulovsky. in conversation with a young man whom they said I should know but whom I could not place until he drew from his pocket a package of gum and I-recognized Harold Hahn. now a report'r for the Tribune. They were ready to leave for the Aviation field where a demonstration was being held. They invited me to go with them. There I tuct two of the demonstrators, Chester Pinski and Teddy VVartalski. I learned that Fred VVayda optrated the peanut stand on the grounds. Driving back thru the loop we passed the New Chi- cago Theatre and there in large letters appeared the uames of Morris Geller and Sylvia Syncheff co-starred in at production directed by Mike Rampolo. Viie went in and pri-sfnted our tickets to Edward Lycardi. the head usher. The orchestra. directed by George liligg was playing a selection composed by Donald Bclofsky. In the orchestra I noticed Mitchell VVozny tooting a saxo- plume. The stage show came next. The first number was .in animal act: Abe Richman and Sol Rushal-:off imitat- ing train' d horses. Sol made a great hit with his horse's laugh. Next came a song and dance by the Miller twins. Sadie Sol sang the latest blues from Broadway and Ann Drecbfn appeared as a tap dancer. Then came Sidney Markowitz, a solo dancer. followed hy a chorus of beautifully dressed girls among whom I recognized Olga jurco, the leader, Evelyn Lazar and Alfreda Knch- arski. Their costumes were made and dcs'gncd by Helen Weiss. The scenery was arranged by Marcus Greenfield and his assistant, Stanlfy Zajac. As the news reel flashed upon the scrren we saw the face of R gina Bogdanowicv who had recently been elected head of the Red Cross Nurses. VVe saw Abe Levin. the famous basketball star. with his wife, Pearl Stockawitz. As we left the theatre I noticed an attractive candv shop owned by Helen Griger and Emilia Scrzypkowski. On reaching the corner we met Hyman Wlohl, the well known undertaker. who told us he had just conducted the fum-rvil of Mrs, -Xhrnhntu 7:vrn's fAuna Klan-A p--I imp 'ranir-n. Htr husband. the famous veterinary surgeon, had failed in an operation on this pet of hers and she was prostrated by the shock of its death. Passfug the Art Insttute we stopped in to see a new painting by Sylvia Levinson, a rising young portrait fainter. I learned also that Ruth Hollandcr and Edith Silber were bccrming well known in the field of paint- ing and sculpture. As Tvaroh had an appointment for the evenini and I was tired out after the strenuous day. we parttd and I set out for my hotel. I bought a paper at a ntws-stand and was surprised to see that Helen Kutyna hrd broken the wold's record in the high jump at the Olympic Games. I went to my room to freshen up for dinner and ff st a bit. I noticed that the hotel conducted a library for the :ccommcdaticn of its guests under the direction ff Ruth Bauzuly and Mac Kctler. I was so tired that I fell sound asl ep and never awoke until morning. I could scarcely believe that it had not all betn a dream. I soon realized, however. that my bus'ness must be at- t nd'd to and that I must return wth my report to the firm so I made ready to start on the day's business feel ing that I had had a wonderful v sit and a mind full of pleasant memories of that day in Chicago.
