Things I remember of the past week: The terrible Bremen song, “Three Cheers for the Three Volunteers.” . . . Dinner at the Embassy Club... . J Jimmy Du- rante’s act at the The Shuberts’ razz of the Theater Guild, with which I heartily agr . The Rainbow _ ball, which was very dull and after which Chez Florence was such a relief! . . . The opening of “Pre- sent Arms” and the knockout music. . . . The college boy who called the office with a bottle of gin and wanted me to go on a party... . The realization that everybody seems to be writing columns > this now... . The pile of unread books that is grow- ing on my table... . The celebri- ties that recommend cigarettes and toilet soaps and get nothing for it but the publicity... . The idea that some ham actor could invest a few thousand dollars in advi and just keep repeat- Ich is a great actor” and that finally all the boobs JUDGE rit would begin to believe it just from seeing it in print and he would get a big contract. ... The realization that that wasn't a brand-ne . Tarantella,” the Mask and Wig Club show. ~ aS I couldn't wait to read “P.

You make ’em desp'rate! and if I were mechanically in- clined I might have liked it better! ainst “The y Elizabeth Bowen, be- cause one of the Book-a-Month clubs had selected it, I was shocked to find it a beautifully written thing and curiously in- teresting. Which only goes to show that accidents happen in even the best families! ad A few Columbia records have come in that are well worth 1 tioning. “Speedy Boy"—"The Sunrise” with Ben Selvin and his orchestra is very nifty, to say nothing of * a beautiful waltz, with “In My Bouquet of Memories” on the other side. “The Book on Etiquette” is very funny and has Saving Satur- day “Night For You" on the o. s. And if you're one of thos unfortunates who like funny ree ords, Old McDonald Had a Farm” and “Oh, How He Lied.” No new steppers this week. Jepcerte. comicbooks.com
