Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Witness Mock Court Scene

Mr. Ed Culnan, of Chas. R. McCormick & Company, was chairman at the May 21st meeting of the Los Angeles Hoo Hoo Club, and receives credit for stage managing one of the most interesting meetings of the year.

E,d originated, cast and managed a one-act play, in a court room scene, entitled "Selling Jury Service." It was a satire, with a bushel of truths contained in the dialogue, on the modern jury panel system. Cliff Estes took the part of the learned Judge, Ed Culnan acted as District Attorney, Andy Donovan was Attorney for the Defense, Jack Ellis, big bass voice and all, was the Bailiff, Ed Houghton made a fine Court Clerk, and the prospective Jurors were: Mr. Busy Business Man (Curtis Williams), Mr. Good Citizen (V. L.McFadden), and Mr. Riff Rafi (P.W.Chantland).

Number one Juror could not serve account his many business activitiis, Mr. Riff Rafi was glad to serve to gdt the three dollars a day, and Mr. Good Citizen was glad to lay aside his personal affairs for a time, to serve the State.

At the close of the sketch, Cliff Estes made a splendid talk on the Jury system, the origination and its present day faults.

H. L. Rosenberg won the attendance prize, and Walter J. Best, Southern California Hardwood Manufacturing Company, was announced as chairman for May 28th.
