John Costin had worked his way up from King of Burlesque to Czar of the movie world, bringing with him his two starlets, Ruth Flora and Florence (Polly to her friends) Young. He still couldn’t make up his mind. Bob Reynolds was said to be running a dry-goods store in Cuba, with a side-line of Havana cigars. Doing back East, I stopped in Chicago to shop. The largest sign to meet my evs said, “REPLENISH YOUR WARDROBE AT DRINKWINE’S”. But Howard was in the throes of a violent fire-sale that day so I didn’t go in. As the streamlined train “The Zipper” brought me closer to Willsboro, I learned that Virginia Boardman was home economics teacher in one of the large high schools in Boquet, and that Gladys Doyle was one of the nurses in the hospital there. While I was gazing off into the hills of Reber, I overheard another passenger say that Bill Daniels had finally married Ellen Crowningshield and that their dairy farm was doing very nicely. Finally, 1 arrived in good old Willsboro, the city of opportunity! Thedra ( diver is now organist in the Willsboro Movie Palace, Howard Doner is fire chief, and Howard James had finally settled down and gotten himself elected justice of the peace. Do 1 hear you asking. “Yes, but what has happened to Katy Cushing, good old Katy?” Do you really want to know, folks? Well, I’ll break down and tell you. She is now teaching history in the Willsboro High School, driving her Ford back and forth work every day. So long, folks, happy landings. The “Peanut Vender”.
