By RALPH L. LESTER for AM’
WORDS WITHOUT MUSK’
Philadelphia. Nov. 3—A threat
for the eye: Nina Mae McKinney
in b sarong.—Voodoo has gone
ritzy. It is now called Vaudan.—
Lillian Yarbo and Eddie Anderhon
sepia members of the cast of, “You
Can’t Take It With You,” furnish |
a goodly portion of the hilarity
that makes the current movie ver
sion a side-splitting succes.
X marks The Spot: In San Jose, |
Calif., fatal traffic accidents are,
marked on the highway with a i
huge circle. Frank Wilson, star of!
“Porgy and Bess.” is the butler!
* in Clare Boothe’s “Kiss The Boys
Goodbye,” a current hit on broad
way. Something to worry this de
partment: The statement of Ber
nard M. Baruch to the effect that
the army can't protect the U. S. in
case of an invasion. How come?
Louis Armstrong celebrated
trumpeteer, thinks “West End
Blues” is his greatest record.—A
thought for today: Yesterday is
dead. Tomorrow does not exist.
Today is here. Use it.—If you are
interested in maintaining peace,
write World Peaceways, Inc., 103
Park Avenue, N. Y.—Octavius Roy
Cohen had 104 articles rejected by
th0 Saturday Evening Post before
one was accepted. Then all the re
jects were bought.
“The sense of hearing is consid-1
erably dulled when you eat a full'
! mean”, asserts a prominent physi
j cian. Probably nature’s way of pro
' teeting us against aft-r-dinner
| speakers.—It has been denied that
Lionel Hampton and Teddy Wil
son will quit Benny Goa.man’s
swiingster* to form thf ir own band.
—COLORS: Blue, Rose and Pink
%
in order, are the colors found to
be the most preferable to the wo
men of Fifth avenue, during a re
cent cor test.
THAT YELLOW BASKET
The Myrna Loy dog naming con
test has ended. The most unusual
feature of the entire contest, ac
cording to Mark Hellinger, was
‘‘more than 18,000 people in the
United States and Canada sugges
ed the names ‘Tisktt’ and ‘Tasket.’
PERSONALS
MARIAN ANDERSON: Roland
Laver, the tenor, who has staved
*
away from Philly too long, will
sing at the Academy here, Jam fry
J, 1938.
ETHEL WATERS: “At Home
Abroad” may become a fact in
| stead of a show yesterday. Beatrice
Lillie, with whom you shared bill
i ing in the show of that title,
j wants to become an American citi
I zen.
MUSIC DEPARTMENT
| Wm. C. Handy will celebrate his
65th birthday on Nov. 21. In his
II onor a concert is being planned
at Carr.egie Hall N. Y. Handy’s
“St. Louis Blues” will be a “must
j number” for all the orchestras in
vited that evening
FLASHES OF TALK
In the Showboat: “So you’re
five feet four inches with heels.
Well, how trill are you with regular
guys.”—At the Portal Card: “She
thinks the constable is a good man
, because he's always helping poor
j people out. —At the Rudweiser: "I
l don’t need a watchdog. I’ve got
I newsy neighbors.”
EGG-ZACXLY
One egg produced during the
month of October and November
is worth on the mark<t. about two
produced in April and May.
A fre«h egg will sink in pure
watet.
Eggs laid in the A. M. are bet
ter than those laid in the P. M.
The washing of eggs removes
the slight natural protection cover
ing and increases the tendency of
eggs to absorb flavors.
