My first minutes In the Penn-
sylvania Station were spent in
nearly breaking my neck,-for '
was in a strange place and was
looking In four or five directions
at once, trying to locate the per-
son who was to meet nie. In the
,iiext few minutes I nearly broke
my 1'H^a -but we won't go into
that.
Bounding the corne- of the
Penn Station, I had a breath-
taking view of the Empire State
Building and teeming 8th Ave-
nue. From that time on things
happened so fast that it's all like
a gigantic kaleidoscope in my
memory.
Standing out above the other
things is the remembrance of the
scene from the top of tlfc Empire
State (no pun intended). There
was the glittering city laid out
at my feet, as far as I could see.
There were the Hudson river and
the piers, where three „ large
ocean liners were docked; fab-
ulous Times Square; and Broad-
way, the .Canon of Sighs, slash-
ing across Manhattan. Far qut
in the ""Bay could be seen the
light In the torch of the Statue
of Liberty. When the guide had
pointed out the various sights,
he turned to me and challenged
me to try to describe what I had
seen. It will take a better man
than 1 to accept his challenge.
Then there was the Old Lady
with the Torch. Oh, how ifty feet
hurt after climbing up Into her
huge head. I started to scratch
my name among the millions of
others there and remembered the
old "Fool's names like fool's
faces, etc." and decbied not to
furnish the world with proof.
When it comes to describing
the pla£* "Eternal Road" words
fail, me completely. I can only
say. I saw it and it left tne
breathless. Just, imagine a, stag;
in five different levels, a story,
that reaches back to the begin-
ning of the Christian religion,
Max Beinhardt, marvelous light
ing effects, beautiful lines, mix
them all together, and JiHu still
haven't the faintest idea Jot how
wonderful it was.
