F table, and talking animatedly in French to Ella Bateman who merely nodded, for she only comprehended a word here and there, being so occupied by the antics of the stage comic, Justin Lyons. Another interesting scene shown in this news reel was William Crago and Robert Dvorak manufacturing Open-road plane roadsters. Lucille Curtis and Ruth Haskell were busy in the same room crocheting lace Windshield wipers for the new planes. Edna Flaherty was testing bo-beep horns, discarding all sour ones. The news reel once more shifted the scene of action, and showed bits of the latest musical comedy hit, Tarazan, the Ape, with Wade McKee as the lead. The part of a huge spreading jungle tree was taken by Charles Daubert, while the treacherous cobra curled about it was none other than Ernest Erickson. Three chorus boys, Roy Bogaske, Charles Thomas and Robert Wilson, danced into View doing some very intricate, dainty steps. Back-stage was next shown. and in spite of their dirty faces I recognized two of the stage hands as Robert Tyson and Ralph Zula. They appeared very busy doing nothing in a big hurry. A harassed costumer, Edith Schweg- ler, was following various chorines in a vain attempt to measure them for costumes. Sam Shaft was exerting himself by carrying all her heavy paraphernalia, such as tape measure and papers of pins. Now the reel was showing the arena in Madrid, where an exciting bull fight was taking place. I was surprised to see Harry Backus as chief toreador, and Harold Treadway as his assitant bull-thrower. In the audience, Jeanette Lothrop, a senorita, was attracting much attention, for she had recently inaugurated a new system for learning the Spanish language. After the fight, the scene showed Helen Haggett eat- ing hot tamales by the dozen at the stand operated by Eileen Hosack. The strum of a soft guitar was heard, and the troubador playing it was no other than William Jack- son. As a balcony window was flung open, Katherine Richards appeared, and tossed a rose down to the singing troubador. I was taken, in the next scene, to Scotland Yards, where Helen Paginton was reigning as superintendent of the Yards. Behind a huge microscope, examining vari- ous footsteps around the Yard for clues, was Gladys Nichol, a sleuth of some renown. The baying of bloodhounds could be heard, as Esther Mullen, the keeper of the pack, entered with them, hot on the trail of a suspected brick-thrower, who proved to be Robert Fraser, a radical Bolshevist. The news reel was over. As I was leaving my seat, I stayed just long enough to hear the cast of the main picture. To my surprise, Lynn Somershield was the hero, while Eleanor Marhofer was his leading lady. The author of the story from which the picture was taken, modestly put in his appearance, and added a few Words about the following picture. It was Harris Moyer. The play was about the escapades of a loose lunatic, and Harris had received his inspiration from Robert Williams. At this point, I left. Finding my plane in the parking space on the theater where my chauffeur had left it at my instruction, I spoke to Richard Webster, the attendant, who, after taxiing my plane out for me, declaimed the poorness of business and the possibilities of a robot's replacing him. Just then, Richard Zeiner came to collect back- rent, and Richard Webster, seeing his approach, left hurriedly. Then I took off. I went on my Way moodily, marveling at the fortunes of life, and the effect upon the lives of my former class-mates of the January class of 1931 ........ The preceding train of thought was terminated abruptly by a sudden air-plane crash, in which the originator of the previous thoughts was featured prominently, he being so deeply engrossed in his thoughts that he failed to heed a stop light. Post mortem will be held tomorrow. Alta A. Slaight '31 Jane M. Colby '31 -271
