George Talbot and Norman Thompson Will put on a unique vaudeville act. John McGraw of the New York Giants Will yield his place to Leigh Townley. Helen Whitcomb will be the ballet prima donna In a Broadway cabaret. Ruth Whitlock will institute a startling taxi service Whose drivers will all be women. Charles Rogers Williams, Jr., will cause the Senate chambers To resound with his oratory advocating A national magazine. The IT calker Vane. Evelyn Woodruff will settle down to a Contented married life. The famous John Drew will find His successor in Edgar Wright. Kenneth Vreeland and Kenneth Johnson will cause much merriment As clowns in Barnum and Bailey’s Circus. William Yarnall will follow in the footsteps of his father. As a successful chiropractor. Such a quiet little maid as Elizabeth Taylor Is apt to be deceiving, but she will be found at home With domestic cares on her shoulders. She is doing some noble work quietly. Flitting round in cherubic appendages, Helene, a philanthropical someone. Then Izzy will speed past her, Bangs afloat, side-stepping and Jazzing her way through this life. Both Edward and Violet, modest and prim. Are working together, intensely bent On a—a publicity campaign for Nationwide fame of Roeber and Parker and Co.
