Miss Genevieve Whelan, employee at the Iowa-Nebraska Light & Power company In this city, was very much surprised recently when she discov ered a photo of her cousin, Mary Hanrahan, in the September issue of "The Gregg Writer," a magazine for secretaries, stenographers and typists. Mr. and Mrs. John Hanrahan, for mer residents of Plattsmouth, are the parents of this young lady. Miss Hanrahan is Edgar Bergen's (and Charlie McCarthy's) "secretary," but that is rather a misnomer, as her duties cover everything from pack ing Charlie in his suitcase ready for a trip as near as NBC or as far as New York to helping decorate and furnish Mr. Bergen's new home. In giving advice to office seekers, "The Gregg Writer" goes on to ex plain Miss Hanrahan's good fortune in obtaining such a position: "She just happened into it a few years ago when she had a perfectly ,Tood position which she liked, with the Rockefeller Foundation in Chi cago. She had registered with the Music Corporation of America and completely forgotten about it until they called her one day for an inter view. Mary wasn't at all interested 'n working for Mr. Bergen sbe al ready had a job she liked and couldn't see any reason for giving it up to work for a then unknown ventriloquist. She was sold on the idea only after listening to a record of Charlie McCarthy's. She thought he was screamingly funny and that anyone who could write his material must be very clever indeed. She still thinks so, and is glad she decided to gamble with Bergen." Following their residence in Platts mouth the Hanrahans left for Chi cago where they had resided since Although they had lived in Chicago Miss Hanrahan has been a visitor here several times and was her cousins' guest in Nebraska. Mr Hanrahan was the brother of Mrs Mary Whelan. The photo pictures Mary Hanrahan and her boss, Edgar Bergen exam ining some of the "scads" of Mc Carthy novelties. from Friday Dafly Superintendent G.
