JUDGE Have discovered a marvelous new dance... . the ele- vator boy taught it to me so it must be real Southern, although it hasn’t gotten below One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street yet... . it’s called “Messin’ Round” and is just the thing for Night Clubs as it only requires enough space to stand on thus enabling at least three couples to dance simultaneously on the average Night Club floor. Iw a Heard the “Charleston” and “Black Bottom” played with Tango rhythm the othernightand it’s simply grand .... you have no idea how much it sounds like real music! .. . . Brother, dear, says I must lay off Night Clubs and drink recipes, but I can’t resist this one! .. . . the darling- est Chef told me that a bottle of Worcestershire sauce will cure any cold! aS Here’s your chance to be the most photographed person in America and make “Peaches” Browning dwindle into pictorial obscurity ... . all it takes is eight minutes and twenty-five cents ... . you pop into a device which is a cross between a sentry box and a victrola, drop a quarter into a slot, have an embryo D. W. Griffith shout directions at you, pop out again and before you can readjust your spit curl your vanity sopped to the extent of eight miniature photographs .. . . they call this golden opportunity “Photomaton” ... . it’s on Broad- way in the early fifties and is quite the rage just at present. a The evening slippers at Saks are simply divine . . . mauve, cerise, al- most any colorof satin with cut-steel buckles . also the most amazing creations .... the whole rear half studded with jewels of every shape and color, the insteps, cut in points and jewels, without any sides and what’s left is gold kid! .... My Dear! aS Have you (of course, you have!) seen the new knitted suits... . sweater, skirt and cap to match . saw some stunning fur hats at Jaekel’s ... . nice little leopard skin with rolled brim - also a tan pony fur with high square crown and narrow brim. ~ SS The Six Best “Steppers”: “What “ya Say?’ (Honeymoon Lane). “Little White House” (Honeymoon Lane). “Moonlight on the Ganges” (No Show.) ‘Do, Do, Do” (Oh, Kay). idgety Feet” (Oh, Kay). “Someone to Watch Over Me” (Oh, Kay). Jigs When Love Is Young ASTINGS puffed at that smelly old pipe of his as we sat in acozy corner of the club. “She was a dream,” he mused, “a vibrant, lovely creature. The first time I saw her she was singing the aria from “Madame Butterfly” and the spot- light played on her like a golden halo. I suppose I'm a sentimental fool but I can’t ever forget.” “IT know how it I gruffly an- swered, for Cupid’s darts had done some slight damage to my own battered hulk. “I sought and obtained an intro- duction to her,” continued Hastings, “and our beautiful friendship blos- somed into a rare love. I called her my fairy princess and she christened me her knigh He paused for a moment and glanced at the roaring blaze in the fireplace. I placed my arm about his shoulders. ‘“Tell me more,” I tenderly whispered. “Well, there’s not much left to “it’s the old, old story uth and romance. For two yllic years she was my inspiration. And then it was that I wrote my best stuff. Then there came a fateful day and romance went out of my life forever.” He paused again and a tear glittered for just a second on his cheek. The logs crackled merrily in the fireplace. Outside, the little lights were dotting the huge buildings as dusk fell over the city. The old club, as if in sympathy with his mood, was unusually silent for this time of the day. I leaned forward and gently asked him, ‘‘What ever became of her?” A strange look came over his face and he reached over and_ slipped into his hat and coat. Just at the threshold he stopped for a moment and called back to me: “T married her.” Hugh Wood Tf motorists can sport radiator sculpture, why can’t pedestrians have their little show? comicbooks.com
