The Class Prophecq This is now the middle of the year 1952 in New York City. Let's walk down the street with Earl Hadley and Iohn D. Rayle. reporters on The New York Tribune. They have iust gotten their vacation and have decided to use it lor looking up their classmates of '39. The boys are about to go into a beauty salon. As we come nearer I see that it is the salon of the famous hair-dresser. Allen Rodibaugh. and his wife, the former Patricia Daniel. While Pat and Allen are visiting with Earl and lohn, an enormous sky-blue limousine stops and out steps Florence Blazier, who tells us that she is married to a rich French Count. She has come for her weekly beauty treatments. Patricia and Allen ask Florence, Earl and Iohn to ride out home with them for dinner. As they are riding out to the house they go past a large orphanage which is over-run by all sized children. Allen stops the car here and who comes springing out except Kathleen Frost with Irene Feaster behind her. They are the supervisors of the orphanage and enioy their work. When they arrive at Pat and Allen's estate they are enchanted by its beauty. After dinner, sitting on the front porch. they tell what they know of their classmates. loan Bowman. a glamour lady, has iust gotten a divorce from her fourth husband, who is an inventor. You probably wouldn't know him because Mr. Knight has gained quite a bit of weight and couldn't be called Hungry, It has been heard around town that as soon as the divorce is granted he will marry his very competent secretary, Amanda Sumner. The biggest surprise of all is Iames Brookie who has turned criminal and is known as the modern Robin Hood. He is always accompanied by his faithful wife the former Barbara Harsh- barger. They rob irom the rich and give to the poor. Next morning we went to see loan and she told us that when she was in Hollywood the Warren Studios, under the direction of Warren Lassiter, have iust left for South America. There he hopes to make a successful movie from the popular book Hearts Afire, written by Gale Pruitt. Gale is now in China getting material tor his new book Ching Ching Loves Again. The star of Warren's picture is, of course, Marcia. Marcia whom we know as Marcia Tal- bert. Russell Myers, the greatest lover of all time, is to play opposite Marcia. Hilda Lease, lean Harvey. and Dorothy Eberhart, three members of Richard Russell's sym- phony orchestra, are giving a concert in London, while Richard tlies to Hollywood to see his wife's new picture. Perhaps some of you dcn't know that Richard marched to the altar with that charming actress, Esther Sparks. They are very happy although often separated by their careers. Mariorie Clark and Leona Ray have iust returned from making a non-stop flight around the world in a new specially built plane. The plane which the girls flew was designed by their famous husbands, Marcus Passwaier and Paul Thompson.
