Translated From the Plutonian fire department, Durbon and Bitely, and the police department, Taswell Cleveland, lead the cheers. I see Emily Anderson, the taxi compan.y, Elizabeth King, proprietor of the boarding house, Marie Hale, the choir leader, and Dorothy Michniak, the laun- dress, in the disinterested audience. bzcfiuii114nioxnzuzoioiuininii-linda , Exordium l We, the departing seniors, in or- ! der to form a more perfect union - in school, scram. We are leaving I behind us our most prized posses- Q sions to a bunch of dopey IZB's, but ' before we go, we warn them that ! any desecration or mutilation of our l bequests on their part will result in i a catastrophe. :Initvii114:111301010311111030101 Alice Kenedy a n d Alberta Wick are get- ting divorces from t h e i r t e nt h h u s - bands, namely Jack Evert and Henry Schnei- dewind. T h e girls' lawyers, Vida and Bolog, put up a stirring fight for their clients. I see in Hollywood a film magnate giving a lit- tle girl her start. They look like Phil Sheridan and Gladys Sutton. Phil was the one who directed Bill lcenhower and Helen Vasilauski in Hearts to Burn. Joe Nameth and Helen Mahoney are co- starred in Marshall Godfrey's production, Aunty Ante. Ruth Reaume, Dorothy Welch, Mildred Templin, Frances Gray, and Esther Benson have just arrived to play in Eleanor Nestmanfs next picture. Here is Los Angeles, the metropolis of the west. Art Murray, the big manufacturer of cork, is riding down Sunset Boulevard with his stenographers, Kowitz and Chiaravalli. His chauffeur and footrnan are Charland and Boris. Directly ahead is the largest miniature golf course in the world, owned by Ligman and Ligmal. They employ as caddies Ed. Nersisian, Karl Radmacher, Pearl Rakay, and Grace Riviera. That big building is the terminal for the Swift-Salacy Earth to Moon tour, it was designed by Mildred Schroeder. Rebecca Stearn and Beatrice Willert sell tickets for the tour. The first people ever to try the iiight were Anna Sarkisian and Eliz- abeth Kovacs. They are now selling parachutes to Komondy and Liminsky, art dealers. Across the Pacific, in Hawaii, King Jerry He- bert is sitting in state. His favorite dancers, Irene Letenyei, Laura Frahm, Florence Cima, Helen Orell, and Thelma Hood, are performing for him. The string orchestra, Jacoby, McGee, and Pipoly, under the direction. of Louis Tyrna, is not attending to business. There are some little specks out there in the water. Oh, it's just Jean Bourbonais and Lucille Kubitzkey swimming, accompanied by Pearl Manor in a rowboat. They expect to reach China soon. I think I'll switch this instrument toward China. Ah, in Canton I see two coolies dragging a pushcart around. It contains Robert Price and his wife, the former Violet Cook, Vasquez and his better half, known as Marie McDaniels, Hazen Hunt and his master and wife, Dorothy Cogger, and last but not least, Bob Hicks and Evelyn Ramsay. The coolies who are prancing lightly up and down the streets under the load of the pushcart are Honeycutt and Hare. In the heart of Rhodesia, two Zulu chiefs, Briggs and Cantor, and tive ladies, Masecar, Barta, Sorice, Osborne, and Ravas, are being converted to Christ- ianity by Missionary G. Capen. It appears that the Zulu chiefs are, instead, busily trying to convert Capen to Zoop. This big place called France is next. The idol of the Parisian stage, M. Sebes, is being interviewed for the press by L. Krigner of the Via Parisienne. Margaret's press agents, Holland and Flynn, are holdin.g out for talking picture rights. On the Rue des Frates, I see the exclusive gown shoppe of Mol- nar and Molnar. Two very charming salesladies, Eleanor Novak and Elfrieda Rotter, are urging a prominent American sportswoman, Virginia Sefar- ian, to purchase hosiery in carload lots. Virginia's husband, Harold Langley, recognizes old acquaint- ances, Guerriero, Tonipos, and Holtzhouse. Kanian is the American traveling salesman for the concern. Ah, now appears in the telocular good old New York. In the Kempton Theatre, Goldie Trimai, star of Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, Ten Days in the Hoosegow, or Fifty Dollars, is rehearsing the show with the chorus composed of six of the best-looking blondes in New York, Black, Nihelik, Stevens, Wil- son, Vargo, and Reckling. The show is directed by Chione and Hollos. Mary Miller is the star toe- dancer. The words for the theme song were writ- ten by C. Thomas and the music was composed by K. Jackson. In Harris Auditorium, formerly called Madison Square Gardens, the big heavyweight championship iight is on between LaValli and A. Riopelle. After the third round Referee Rohrman called the fight off because both participants spoiled the rythm of a line of attack. Benedetti broadcast the fight. Altobell and Macherczyk are cleaning up Wall St1'eet in white uniforms. Two pilots, Pierson and Kevorkian, are piling bricks for Horvath Brothers' Ye Auld Hatte Shoppe, which was designed by V. Gallovich. Irene Miller and Dorothy Ohs are wash- ing windows for a living. This occupation was the natural outcome of their desire to brighten. the world. Well, well, the Capitol. In Washington, Con- gress is in session. The I opposite sex is well X represented. I see I ' the woman sena- MIX tor, S. Perry, ' XI -. f H - N XX rom am MX - x X 'X K tramck, is trying to introduce a bill to pension retired racketeers. Queenie Dar- darian's plea for capital punishment for sax players will be recognized. Helen Far- kas has passed a bill to educate college professors. The telocu- lar is getting weak. Anyhow, we can't see any more funny things, so we might as well quit. There goes Earth--it's gone! ' f 1 Page Seventeen,
