PROPHECY All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players. The Master Marionette Maker raises his handy the curtains part, and we are about to see the enactment of the world's greatest drama-the unfolding of the lives of the seniors of '36. The lights of the world's theater become dim and the first actor makes his entrance. He is a husky fellow, solemn and grave of countenance. This pompous- ness is, however, merely an affectation. The young man is carrying a suit- case, but if we look closely we see that the suitcase does not bear his name, which, by the way, we remember is Mark Coldiron, but has printed on it in gold letters the name Melvin McCombs . We wonder for a moment why Mr. Coldiron is carrying the suitcase of another but Finally we notice the style of his attire-a sailor suit-and we also note the cunning little cap perched on one side of his head, which creates a strikingly funny contrast to the somber- ness of his face. We see that the stage setting is that of a ship. Mr. Cold- iron t Cap to youj looks around in search of someone. At last his eyes spy a scholarly looking man trying to push his way through the crowd. The man finally reaches his porter Cfor that is the profession of Mark Coldironj. Our scholarly friend is carrying a huge portfolio on which in big red letters is printed McCombs Automatic Nose Wiper . VVe then remember reading in Walter Winchell's column about the greatest labor saving device of the century-namely the McComb's Wiper. The famous inventor appears Hustered and explains to his porter that the cause of his tardiness was the fact that absentmindedly he had kissed a lump of coal and shovelled his wife into the furnace, which accident caused some slight complications. After several minor catastrophies, Mr. McCombs and his Nose Wiper are gotten aboard ship and Mr. Coldiron returns home to tell wifey Cthe former Jean Cookb about his big day. The scene changes. Instead of a ship we see, bear, and smell a ten-cent store. Above the clamor of the clerks and customers we hear jazz such as we have never heard before, pouring out of a piano behind a music counter. Our eyes fall upon the pianist and we know beyond a doubt that it is little Marjory Ranck. Marjory is swaying back and forth with the rhythm of her music, trying to make an impression on the good-looking young man who is watching her. Something about the young man is familiar. Ah! It is his beautiful wavy hair. How could we ever have failed to recognized Chuck Neighbors? Obviously Marjory's attempt to impress him is sucessful for that dreamy all- absorbed expression in Chuck's eyes hearkens back to his salad days when he thrilled at the attention of a bonny lassie. We are surprised when he leaves the music counter to go to a telephone. What is that he is saying? Oh good- ness! Contrary to the expectations of all his former teachers, Chuck has made good. For he is telling someone over the telephone that he is Charles Neighbors, owner of the Neighbor's chain ten-cent store. The lights dim and when again the stage becomes illumined the scene has changed. We hear the shrill twittering of birds, the mournful whining of dogs, and the melodious song of the cat. On the wall hangs a large sign bear- ing the caption: A. Leonard's Animal Hospital. All the Comforts of Home . While we are speculating as to whether A. Leonard can possibly be our old friend Annabelle, a woman with red, or shall we say auburn, hair comes into the hospital and says in a sugary voice to one of the birds. And how is your laryngitis today, my dear? We recognize the hair and the voice at once as belonging to Miss Annabelle Leonard. W'hile Miss Leonard is putting a mus- tard plaster on the bird's throat and Vicks Nose Drops in his beak, another lady, very much bundled up in an expensive fur-coat. rushes into the hospital crying, And how is mamma's pet, my sweet, my baby, feeling today? From her speech one might think that her only child was undergoing a major oper- ation but we are relieved to find that it is only a tiny Pekinese who has had the ear-ache all night. Miss Leonard informs the new arrival that the infinitesi- mal canine has fully regained her original status of health and happiness . But by what name did she address our enthusiastic friend? It sounded very much like Miss Bercaw : and indeed it is no less a person than Miss Bettv Ann Bercaw the most famous player of the Jew's harp in the world. While we are still fascinated by this scene the Master Marionette Maker raises his hand once more. We see a familiar spot-the statehouse grounds in 33
