OLD RAD xamtacr 18 Sec. Ill w.Om.ii.iiw cc ft '4 Recreated Concert at 3d-Market tffi Jg i Sf 1 'fa Old time San the real old timers, will thrill again Christmas Eve to a re 0 creation of the time half century ago when Luisa Tet razzini sang to an estimated 250,000 persons at Lotta'i Fountain. SIDEWALK SUPERINTENDENTS They May Be Just Anyone! The virus of Sidewalk Superinten ditis, no respecter of persons or places, becomes virulent in beings of all shapes, sizes, weights, heights, colors and stations in life. As witness the gentleman from San Francisco's Chinatown (right), an obvious victim from long exposure to the work on Portsmouth Square garage behind him. (Note characteristic hand gesture as he explains the progress of the construction.) And (below) "Hot Lips," the Fleishhacker Zoo giraffe, who has the disease in an advanced stage from watching workmen building the moat around the zoo's giraffe paddock.

The moat will replace present fences, a fact of which Hot Lips must be aware, having watched the construction from its start. However, Hot Lips, unlike other victims of Sidewalk Superintenditis, cannot seek relief by describing construction. Giraffes generally on't approve of rubbernecking. And for younger San Fran ciscans there will be the west coast debut of soprano Olga Chronis, playing the role of Tetrazzim, and Christmai carols sung by the San Fran cisco Boys' Chorus. As faithfully as possible.

the California Historical So ciety will duplicate the his torical Tetrazzini appearance. miss L-nroma win wear a feather boa and a white gown spangled with 3,000 rhine- stones, even as did the great Italian diva. But, bowing to progress, the event will be moved across the street from Lotta's Fountain to 3rd and Market Sts. because of bus and automobile traffic. The program will begin at 5:30 p.m.
