SCENE I Place: CaTe Lounge on The sTeamer Good Ship Lollypop on re- Turn voyage Trom Paris. Time: BeTore dinner hour a November evening, I966. VicTor OsimiTz, The ship's orchesTra leader, is speaking To his wiTe, The Tormer Mary Hein. VicTor: You know Mary, I Teel as Though I knew several people on board This ship. Their Taces seem so Tamiliar. Mary: I've ThaT Teeling, Too. I seem To associaTe Them wiTh our old Park High School. Remember? VicTor: I cerTainIy do. Say, lisTen. I'Il go and ask The operaTor To Tune in on all The sTaTerooms. MosT everyone is dressing Tor dinner now and They'II hear us play and Then-well, you waiT and see, or raTher IisTen. IHe dashes ouT and reTurns a minuTe IaTer and speaks To his orchesTra.l Boys, remember ThaT school song I TaughT you? All righT, Try iT. ISTrains oT Hail To Thee, Park High are heard. PresenTly a Tew 'laces appear in The lounge. Then more and more, and aT The song's Tinish abouT TwenTy-Tive persons have gaThered. They all join in: Yeah, Parkll Glen PeTerson: AvasT There! WhaT's going on here? I'm The capTain oT This ship! Oh, Park maTTers, hm? r-Well, ThaT's all righT. Go righT ahead my hearTies. Ronald Sorenson: Well, well, IeT's geT inTo a huddle abouT This. Lorraine Anderson: No! I, as presidenT oT The AssociaTion Tor The ReTormaTion oT CondiTions oT Farm Wives, Think This gaTher- ing should be held in a more business-like manner: I believe iT would be besT Tor me To Take charge oT This meeTing. Don'T you Think so, Miss FeichTer? IShe's my secreTary, you know, and a very Tine one aT ThaT.l RuTh Feichfer: Yes, Miss Anderson, I will Take The minuTes. Lorraine: Good idea. Now, I believe each one should have his chance To explain his presence on board. Therefore, each one shall rise singly, proceed wiTh inTormaTion as To who he is now, who he was Then, and oTher biTs oT news. Any obiecTions? No? Very well, IeT us sTarT wiTh This young orchesTra leader who summoned us. VicTor: I'm VicTor OsimiTz. We are reTurning Trom Germany aTTer brushing up on our German and landed a iob on board. We are heading Tor dear old Park and one oT The TooTbaIl games. Chorus: So are we! Mary: I used To be Mary Hein. I always wanTed To marry an orchesTra leader, so now I'm Mary OsimiTz. DoroThy Larke: And To Think we didn'T suspecT iT in German Club. Well, I'm known as DoroThy Larke officially, buT To The Sorenson Twins, I'm Dodo. I suppose you suspecTed Ronnie and Marion Corsie would geT married. Well, one Thing, she couldn'T say To him: This is so sudden. As a governess, I'm pracficing my own Theories oT child psychology on The Twins. How am. I doing, Marion? Marion Corsie: Fine. Leave everyThing To DoT. She's even Teaching Them German. IT's quiTe sTyIish. Ronnie and I are The dance Team here on The ship. Yau'II see us do our dance TonighT. We've a new one called The Big EighT Conference. Eugenia Levin Calvelliz I'II Talk now. IJuIdo Calvelli rises as iT To sTop her. STernIy.l I'II Talk now, I said. Juldo, and you won'T sTop me. This is one Time l'II speak Tor myself and drop my accenT, Too. Juldo Calvelliz Yes, yes, yes, dear. BuT please don'T geT so exciTed and screech so. You know iT hurTs your voice. Eugenia: I'm noT screeching, buT I will if I choose. Hang my voice This once. Iln a calmer Tonel, Juldo is always worrying abouT my voice. You see, I've been in opera Tor 22 years. We've been in Europe Tor Two years, and now are going-where are we going, Juldo? Juldo: To America, dear. You see. I'm Jennie's manager, and I suppose you've heard abouT us. We were married I8 years ago Today, so iT's sorT of an anniversary To be here. Marie Fogsgaard: Perhaps you've heard of The chain oT beauTy parlors of Fogsgaard and Johansen? Well, I own haIT oT The company. We've goT a shop on board as parT oT a special adverTising campaign. Be sure To come and see us. We've made a special price on our new Championship Tinger wave. EdiTh Johansen: Now Marie, TorgeT business Tor an hour. Marie goes in Tor The business end and I Tor The more arTisTic, so we geT along well. Janice Johnson: And I'm proud To reIaTe owning a dress shop oT noTe. You've heard oT The Johnson Trocks? They're really, as one college girl said, knock ouTs. The designers puT boTh names TogeTher. Herman Pancher: Knock-ouTs, eh? Well, did you hear oT how I knocked Epsom SaITs ouT in da ToisT round oT daT championship TighT in Boilin IasT Toisdav? WhaT goT me good and mad was daT he was wearing red and gray Trunks and me wid orange and blue. MuTiny I calls iT, so I ups and knocks him cold. I Tink he's sTiII ouT, Too. By da way, here's a Tip on keeping in condiTion- drive and work on an old Ford. IT's colossal, iT's giganTic, and odder woids oT inTeresT. HoT-cha-cha! LaVerne Groenke: I Think swimming keeps you in beTTer Trim. buT I suppose ThaT's prejudiced opinion, seeing as I afn a .swim- ming insTrucTor here on board, despiTe my age. Swimming, I Think, is The besT sporT There is. Helen Swanson: I Think horseback riding is beTTer Than swim- ming or Tooling wiTh Fords, buT I guess ThaT's my own opinion, Too. I always wanTed To be a movie acTress, buT I became a bare- back rider in a circus. The circus was iusT aT The London Expo- siTion, buT I slipped away To see This TooTbaII game. I'm Tlying back on The new Ukranian blimp. Theodora Nielsen: I was aT The ExposiTion, Too, Probably you didn'T see me Though. I was in The Hall oT ArT, Trying To sell Canadian scenes I had painTed. I made enough money There, so aTTer The game I'm going To realize my greaTesT ambiTion-To live in Canada. Mary Horak: I also enioyed The ExposiTion, especially The Educa- Tional ExhibiTs. I am a Teacher in one oT The 'schools in Chicago. I'm on a vacaTion now, buT when I heard abouT The game. I IeTT The resT oT The Tour and came here Tor iT. HenrieTTa Olk: I'm wriTing a book which is To be a means .oT making oThers like To read and Travel. Those are my TavoriTe inTeresTs, and so I combined The Two and decided To wriTe Travel books. I iusT came Trom Siberia Imy book is To be abouT ThaT counTry.l Believe me, iT's cold up There! I Richard WesTrick: I iusT came Trom a place oT opposiTe cIimaTe. In The jungles oT ATrica, big game hunTing. When I was Tlying over The worsT oT The iungles, I heard a radio flash abouT The game and Turned righT back. I wrecked my plane, and noT having Time To waiT Tor iT To be Tixed, I grabbed This boaT. Mary Jane Knorr: You were inTerrupTed in The middle oT a hunT and I was aImosT inTerrupTed in The middle oT a song. I'm a nighT club hosTess in a Paris caTe. IT was in The middle oT a song ThaT I happened To hear an American newspaper phoTog- rapher Talk abouT The game. I couIdn'T sTop The song, buT aTTer I was Through I obTained a Three-weeks' vacaTion. I Sophie Wasilewiczz And I'm The phoTographer. I've been in Europe Trying To geT some good shoTs. I couIdn'T seem To Tind much oT anyThing, so I came home Tor The game. Now look aT The Tine group oi ceIebriTies herel Don'T TorgeT, I geT a shoT aT each oT you beiore you leave. ElizabeTh Lawler: I remember you now. You snapped me once when I was dancing aT The Trocadero in London. Years ago I made my IiTe work Tap dancing. I've mainTained a Parisian resi- dence where I spend mosT oi my Time, buT in The summer I go To my ITaIian villa. VioIeT Renpaul: I was ElizabeTh's manager when she danced,'and she wanTs me To sTay wiTh her now. We have enioyable TImeS Traveling. Lorraine Anderson: Everyone has had his chance now excepT RuTh FeichTer. . l RuTh: Oh, They all know I've realized my greaTesT ambiTion, be- ing a sacreTary.
