I took the powder and immediately found myself in a strange and attrac- tive city. Outside the city gates I met a small, attractive creature whom I instantly recognized as Josephine Macri. I asked her where I was and she told me I was in a city founded by the class of '35, and odered to show me around. She first took me to the Hotel Ven- dome where a banquet was in process for the new Senator-elect William Venuti. The orchestra was ably con- ducted by none other than Angelo Struzziero. In one corner of the ban- quet hall I saw a gentleman resplen- dent in a captain of police uniform with much gold. He came over and spoke to us. He was none other than Nicholas Catizone. Assisting him were Lieutenants William Ray and Harold Forni, who looked very at- tractive in uniform. Seated at the press table were Albert J annuzzi, car- toonist and artist, and Frances Capo- danno, who was noting for the mor- row's readers the gowns and jewelry of the ladies. As mayor of this city, Arthur Morrissey was addressing the guests in this fashion, We are, in- deed, fortunate to have as United States senator such an able, capable, etc .... etc. How like Somerville of 1935 it sounded! We next attended the Grand Thea- tre where the interior decorating designed by Harry Reed and Salva- tore Romano was very charming and unique. The cover of the program seemed familiar, and I was surprised to find the name of Edward Lucchini printed in tiny letters at the bottom. The play was written by Amelia Vannucci. It was under the direction of Edward' Federico, and the stage manager was Albert Barros. The leading characters were Joseph Zir- polo, Guyder De Carolis, and Lillian Scienzo. After we left the theatre, we came to a recently opened beauty parlor. Here we found Violet Di Nitto, Ange- lina Castagneto, and Mary D'E1ia hard pat- was at work. Taking care of the men rons was Mario Nardella, who busily applying the scissors and comb. We peeped into a court room where Evo Spurio was Judge, and Edna Lodi, court stenographer. Marietta Marino, the lawyer for the accused, was pleading a very important case. It seemed that Mary Di Luna was arrested for throwing a banana peel on the sidewalk in front of her class- room which caused Richard Hayes, superintendent of schools, to sprain his ankle. The attorney for the superintendent was Armand De Lage. On a hill was situated a magnifi- cent hospital which we visited and found it had been endowed by Sev- erino Napolitano. We found the head surgeon, Dr. John Stewart, holding a consultation with his assistants, Dr. Christopher Di Fraia and Dr. John Harty. The case was one that had baffled many. One of the nurses, Aurelia Abbondante, escorted us to the various wards of the hospital. Hear- ing queer sounds, we stopped in the dental ward and found Dr. Angelo fContinued on Page 323
