l 32 THE RECORD 1918 In the events of October, the last game of the W0rld's Series was shown. The crowd in line was visibly impressed by the dignity of Dea- con Erwin, who was taking tickets. VV hen the Athletics won the game and the series, Lefty Rhoads, the first manager to rebuild the wreck left by Connie Mack, was borne out on the shoulders of a cheering crowd. One of the most excited fans was the usually dignified James Franklin Makens, Professor of Sociology at West Philadelphia High School. The next important event was the annual gridiron clash between Penn and Cornell. Dutch Adam was coaching the Penn team and Gilbert was Cornell's tutor. Naturally, both teams had good lines and the game ended in a O-0 tie. Nothing more of importance happened until the end of the year. On New Year's eve, as usual, there was much happiness flowing about, as everyone was about to swear off again. The picture showed the excite- ment on Broad street. The crowds were following into a brilliantly lighted cafe. The sign above read- Spend the Happy Hour at Wilt's. Views of the interior were shown. . In a gallery above, I recognized Otto Borngesser thrumming away on a banjo in the jazz band. I did not recognize one person who seemed to be very popular with the ladies, until the guide spoke, There is Owen Sixsmith, who conducts a dancing academy on the floor above. She said, Over there at the table in the corner is Ambrose C. Beck, President of the Philadelphia Rotten Transit Company, trying to forget in enjoyment the way he robbed the poor of nickels. I As she was speaking the hands of a clock on the wall reached the hour of midnight. The crowd rose to wish itself Happy New Year and the end of the reel was reached. I was left in the original blue light. My fair companion was holding my hand and speaking to someone else. I think he will pull through, Doctor. It was a bad case of shell shock, and he has been raving in his delirium about motion pictures, but he is just coming now to his senses. I had him taken to the blue room because I thought at first he was partly blinded and the white light would hurt his eyes. EDMUND F. BURKE.
