Page Two Goldsboro Hi News May 14, 1948 Goldmasquers Report High Lights Of New York Journey by Ed Strickland (moral support by Marilyn Tolochko) Now that the great adventure is over and we, Marilyn and Ed, that is, sit down to relate our story, we find difficulty in knowing just where to begin. The sendoff that we received Thursday morning is something long to be remembered by cast and stage crew alike. It made us rea lize just what a big job we had to do for you who stayed behind. The feeling we had when we saw how the entire school was supporting us is rather hard to put into words. Washington in Sight At 7:10 someone sounded the alarm, “Washington on the star board bow.” Sure enough, in the haze of twilight, we could see the brightly lighted dome of our na tion’s capitol. After dinner we were on our own for two and a half hours. That time was spent seeing the sights as suited our tastes. Some saw the Smithsonian Institute, the Capitol, Congressional Library, Art Gallery and some went to the theater to see Xavier Cugat. Next morning we took in the Pentagon Building and an inter view with Secretary and Mrs. Ken neth Royall. Shortly thereafter we were rolling on to Cortland. Arrive in York Mid-aftemoon found us in York, Pa. We stopped there for lunch, and incidentally to paint a sign to decorate the side of our Trailways bus. The sign read, “Goldmas quers, Goldsboro, North Carolina; Cortland, New York or bust.” At 9:30 that night a tired but happy bunch of Goldmasquers pulled up in front of the Cortland Hotel in Cortland, N. Y. The hotel was like something out of the movies, the 1924 movies, that is. The elevator was a picturesque af fair, the kind that runs up and down in a wire cage and has a load limit of four people, including the operator. Some Discomforts No one paid much attention to the discomforts, however, for they were too sleepy. However, some of the girls declare that their sleep was interrupted during the wee hours of the morning by mice, rats, and cockroaches, not to men tion a few drunks who had strayed from home and their ever-loving wives. Saturday morning Polly Edger- ton and Ashton Griffin bowled over the leaders of a panel diS' cussion with their description of the Goldmasquers’ dramatic art and radio departments. They used the model stage and studios that were made by Dick Griswold and Bill Hawley to illustrate their re marks. Cortland couldn’t be lieve its eyes or ears. That afternoon some of the cast, Donald Pike, Mary Olive Grady, Davis Byrd, and Marilyn Tolochko, were interviewed over the Cort land radio station. Again Golds boro made an impression with their ease and ;familiarity of mike work. Practice Play A practice test that afternoon and the Goldmasquers were ready for the big event. Never has any one group been bound together so closely for a commoa cause. There was a feeling of confidence and determination that is seldom found in such a group. But theirs was the realization of a five year dream and they made good. Cortland was. amazed at tlie cO' operation of cast and stage crew in changing sets and taking them down when the performance was over. They were amazed, too, at the professionalism of the set de sign and execution. Get 2 hours’ sleep Two hours sleep that night was the maximum, for we were off at 7:30 for that thriving little metro polis, New York City. See New York We spotted the New York sky line about 3:00 Sunday afternoon, and an hour later we were enjoy ing hot showers and baths in the luxurious accomodations of the Picadilly Hotel, located in the cen ter of the theatrical district of N.Y.C.
