berg, and Bette Berry. It seems he held those conferences quite often, but who wouldnft? Sylvia also told me that he was the employer of Beverly Woodward, considered the most beau- tiful actress on the screen, and that she had had so many proposals for marriage that she was sometimes called the 'iQueen of Diamonds. Moe,s Movies, Incfl was a very large concern and employed about 5000 people, some of whom I knew. Some of his script writers were Dorothy Elliott, Virginia Dunn, Clara Chellis, Barbara Long, Florence Zigmann, and Charlotte Hague. Make-up artists for women included Barbara Stone. Emily Johnson, and Eleanor Bartlett. Make- up specialists for men included Dorlon Picard, John Kaniel, and John Morin. The company had a string of very capable male actors. Among them were John Sawchik, Bill Lovejoy. Jack Gardner, and Guido Baldacei. I met Arnold Shulins, a movie scout, in the studio. and he invited me to accompany him on a talent search. He took me to a tall. streamlined build- ing which was the home of the HlVIodel Agency. It struck me that Arnold must have made quite frequent visits to this place. since the elevator girl. Rosie Costa, knew exactly where he wanted to get off. As we entered the waiting room, I saw Doris Smith sit- ting behind a desk in the corner. She asked for our priority, since the place was closed to ordinary men. She led us into an adjoining room where Mary Guild was just putting the finishing touches on the training of two Hmodelu models-Margaret Breed and lIartha lNIitchell. Hazel Doiron and Rosalyn Satzow, Mary Guild's advisers, were standing at one side of the room, eX- changing opinions on the abilities of the two models. Arnold gave the two models a contract with 6'lVIoe's Movies, Incf, and we returned to the studio. I took leave of my host and started for the rocketport to get my ship and return home. My way took me through a shop- ping district. One of the largest stores was labeled MINI. H. Fishman Co., Inc. Five and Dime Stores. Glancing in, I noticed Frances Reynolds and Minnie Zullo still serving the establishment faithfully. As I continued down the street, I met Marion Scher, who told me that she was a nurse in a nearby hospital and was just going to work. Being in- terested in the medical profession. I decided to inspect the hospital. On one of the operating tables I noticed lVIay Perkins who, it seems, had just had another cute accident. There were many nurses hurrying to and fro, and among them I recognized Helene Strout. Jacqueline Lacasse and the inseparable duo. Irene Lawrence and Rita Gendron. The nurses had their own basketball team, and one of them proudly showed me a newspaper clip- ping which read: The 'Kill or Cure' Hospital girls' team trounced a game Fireman's five by a margin of 50-76f' etc. Glancing at the line-up, I noticed that the girls, team was made up al- most entirely of Stevens alumnae. The forwards were Anna Sakovich and Wanda Sobollg guard's,Virginia Walker and Shirley Burrillg and center, Jac- queline Handly. They were coached by Claire Lizotte and managed by Ophelia Leskiewicz. My visit completed, I left the hos- pital and again started for the rocket- port. determined this time not to get side-tracked. I found my ship in good condition and made an uneventful trip back to Earth.
