! ' H « i Thirteen year a had elapsed when one day I received an invitation y old friend and olassmate, Delores Just, She asked me to visit on the west coast where she had explained she was the President of Paramount Motion Picture Co She said she would meet me at the air« port when ; needed for for flight by 10 a,m ty plane flew in X immediately packed the clothes that I my trip and went to my private hanger to get the plane ready in the morning I had a good night ' s sleep and the next day I was off for California. At about 3 P ® I arrived at the airport where I was met and welcomed by Delores She took me to her oar and to my surprise there stood Bernie Vandersteen, another of my old classmates. He was attired in a uniform. Delores explained that he was her most reliable chauffeur. He drove us in;o town and stopped in front of huge building. Delores said this was one of the company ' s studios She asked if I would like to look it over. I explained it would be a pleasure. We went into the studio, and, first of all, to the dressing.room. In the hallway before the dressing rooms I met two women scrubbing the floor. They seemed familiar, and taking another look I noticed Dona Hunt¬ ington and Clara Ambrosius. We walked slowly down the hallway and suddenly we heard piercing screams come from one of the open doorways. We looked In and much to our surprise standing erect, was Blanche Hennessey and Shari Winkler, two of a group of former professional chorus singers, back in the years 1949—51 They were getting set for a new musical comedy. On the floor was a frightened little mouse trying to find some place to run and hide. We finally decided to continue on our way and while passing one of the doors I noticed a familiar name engraved on it. I stopped and read aloud Carl Petersen . Underneath it read T rzan. Delores expMned that Carl had been chosen to play the part of Tarzan in a Paramount Pio. She also told me that Doris Grahl was the leading lady in that picture. We visited with Doris for a few moments and when turning to leave her room we came face to ihce with a chimpanzee—or, no! excuse me! It was Howard Van Oss who was starring in that same picture with Doris and Carl. We then left Doris ' s room and Delores led me into another, where lights glared most everywhere. In the center of the lay-out stood Carol Klister and Pat Glesber. Carol, being angry at him, started throwing vases. One caught him on the head, laying him flat. With the crash of the vase on Pat ' s head, I heard someone screaming for all she was worth. I looked In the direction where the startling scream came from, and there, pulling her hair, stamping her feet, and complaining was Carole Wobeok. I looked at the different movie machines, and to my astonishment, there, perched high in the air, ready for action was Gordon Newhouse. Gord explained he was Head Photographer at the studios and enjoyed his work very much, especially when something like the above happened. I continued my Journey, looking at the many Interesting things to be seen in such a place as this. I slowly wandered behind the props and came upon two negroes singing and dancing. There to my amazement was Jacob and Franklin Brooks. They finished a routine and then came over to talk Jacob explained they had formed a dance team and were bringing back songs that A 1 Jolson sang when we all had been kids. When they left for their dressing room, I decided to find my way back to Delores when I bumped into a woman carrying a baby, pushing one in a carriage and leading four little ones. Seeing her, I noticed it was another old classmate, Ruth Geyso. I greeted her and we renewed old acquaintances. She explained that she had been married to Charles Wall for seven years. She told me that she always did have a crush on him in High School. Wall was Head Janitor for the whole shebang”. She often visited him at his work so he would have something to cheer him up during the day. He wasn ' t a very happy man because after thirteen years he still hadn ' t figured out what the thing was. Continued Pg. 26
