Prophecy Hollywood, California Ferris Parker, of MGM movie studios, and Sarah Garver, make up artist for Paramount, hop into Ferris' s new Cadillac convertible and take a trip around the city to see some of their old classmates. First they hunt up Anne J efferis who has recently married Charles Boyer and then Martha Kreider who is about to fly to Muncie for a vacatinn. On the corner of Hollywood and Vine they happen to bump into Bucky Ashley who is trying to sell air cushions to tired producers. Next they stop at Ciro's where they find Rodney DeBolt who is jitter-bugging with Ginger Rogers and Phil Rosenbush waltzing with Jeanne Crain. In the corner, sitting at a dark table, is Marilyn Edwards, the widow of Ezio Pinza, and consol- ing her is Peg Harlow, the great opera star from New York City. Merna Suitts is sitting in the limelight as she has been hired to redecorate Ciro's. Taking Hedda Hopper's place, as she has recently retired, is Nancee Lephart, pounding away on her typewriter and writing up the new song team sensations from Union City--Donna Marshall, Joanne Schricker, Kay West and Lois Shockney. Leaving Ciro's and driving to the night school for Paramount Studios they find Elvin Baker and Paul Birznieks training along with Sue Ann Wampler for parts in their new picture. It seems that Paul and Elvin have taken Abbott and Costello's place and Sue Ann is training to understudy Shirley Temple. They have just thrown Jim Shifflet out. He was to have starred in a new series of Westerns but his bowed legs made him fall off his horse. Just as they leave, they bump into John Leaver, who has come to the studio to talk to the manager about a Sl,0O0,000,000.00 loan. After speaking to him, hastily they drive away. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge they see Duane Yoder sitting astride one of the huge cables swinging a paint brush. On the other side of the bridge they see the Phyllis Snyder Memorial Hospital, for it seems that she has discovered a new cure for love-sickness. They drive up to the entrance of the Municipal Fieldhouse where they find Gail Bratton managing his own bowling alley and poor Freddy Burris still setting pins. Opening another door they find that they have arrived in time for the 1974 Olympics, which are being held in Hollywood this year. They see the new bas- ketball champs just leaving the floor and among them Goethe Chambers and Carner Cox with Shur Shot Don Huffman, as coach, carrying the cup. It is ' being announced that the roller skating champion of the world is about to enter, and who else is it but our own Jean Key.

They enter Ferris's convertible once again and as they are driving they hear a news girl, Fern Durham, calling headlines. She tells them that Lowell Ullery, Gene Summers and Darrell Tipple are in jail for kidnapping three beautiful blondes and also that Ronnie Van Vickle, the famous maestro, who -has just finish- ed the 'Z Unfinished Symphony , is to appear at the Hollywood Bowl in the evening. They stop at a hot dog stand, and across the street they see Bob Geyer and Roger Resor having a heated discussion over a pair of crumpled fenders. Roger is looking especially lovely as he has just come from Harriet Grindle and Sherron Downing's beauty parlor for men. A short time later they enter the parking lot at the Hollywood Bowl. Pur- chasing tickets they recognize Stanley Hines who has just turned from talking to Eilene Hindsley who is selling programs. Upon reaching their seats they see on the stage many beautiful girls in bathing suits, among whom is Judy Hollinger. .Tim Fulk enters and they find that he is to be the judge of this bathing beauty contest. When the program is over they drive home through the park and see .T im Davis and Bobo Evans sleeping on the grass. Look out now! Here comes Chief of Police Jim Leahey. Since Ferris has forgotten his license he isn't too anxious to meet up with a copg so he and Sarah drive home after a long and hilarious day.
