ested to know that he is a boon to Georgia real estate. He conceived “Tobacco Road” as a pointed criticism of conditions in the South, but now a Georgia land-owner is advertising a house for sale “on old Tobacco Road.” “Live in literary surroundings,” he urges. Conan Dov te likewise has exercised an influence on U.S. real estate, although somewhat more obliquely. He wrote “Sherlock Holmes”; WittiaM GILLETTE played Sherlock Holmes on the stage— so expertly that he almost was Sherlock Holmes. And now the realtors are hav- ing the devil's own time trying to sell Gillette’s $150,000 house in Connecti- cut. Gillette specified in his will that the house might not be sold “'to some blith- ering saphead.” Sherlock would have phrased it just the same way. | fated CALDWELL may be inter. ENERAL ERICH LUDENDORFF, who was HINDENBURG'S chief of staff during the War, and who had the fore- sight to start backing HitLer in 1923, has just written an article stating that his wife is the wisest of all human be. ings. Bree Barton, of BATTEN, Bar- TON, DurstinE & OsBorN, the author of “The Man Nobody Knows,” is running for Congress. He is the Re- publican candidate from the so-called “silk-stocking district” of New York. By the time you read this, the elec. tion will be over. Whether or not Mr. Barton will have won, we do not ven- ture to say. We are no political prog. nosticators. However we have high hopes for him, because last November we assessed the Republican strength in his district and found it terrific. We went to a polling lace there, to watch Jim FARLEY vote. ¢ room was crowded with voters, and burzing with talk, but when Sunny Jim entered a silence fell; eyebrows rose; eyes glazed coldly. Jim scurried into a 16 STRICTLY booth, clutching his hat in his hands, and it is a fact that he looked shy. It couldn't have happened anywhere else on earth, J STIRLING GETCHELL, the advertising * agent, is shaping up a new magazine, to be called Picture. WALTER CHRYSLER, Jr., is one of the backers. Picture will face two strong competi- tors in the business of selling photo- graphic news; the management had bet- ter advertise, “Look at All Three.” JN CASE you care, the owner of the longest moustaches in Paris is GEN- ERAL EuGENE MiLuer. He heads the White Russians in France, and recently he was mysteriously kidnapped. Our interest in GENERAL MILLER's moustaches, which the kidnapping caused to be reproduced in all the papers, led us into the heart of the White Russian colony in America, where we forgot all about GENERAL MILLER. We talked to Prince SERGE Osot- ENSKY, one of the handsomest men in the world, girls. He runs a night club in the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan. He has a dog named Wogy; it is a Welsh caggie, and if any of our readers can tell us what that is, we shall be obliged. Wogy makes a very favorable impres- sion on ladies. PRINCE OBOLENSKY’S assistant at the St. Regis is Bast. ADLERBERG, whose grandfather was Grand Marshal under ALEXANDER II; he himself served in the Emperor's Own Rifles of the Guard, before the Revolution, and in the Ritz- Carlton (Boston), the Ritz-Carlton (New York), and the Madison (New York) thereafter. It would be a dramatic tale, if we could report that all the Russian nobles are working as waiters, pellbps: and taxi drivers, but that is not the case. They work as hard and as successfully as the people who weren't handicapped by being born in a palace. PRINCE PAUL CHAVCHAVADZE, who served in the “Wild Division” in the Caucasus, under GRAND DUKE MICHAEL, and who married the daughter of GRAND Duxe Georce, works for the Cunard Line. Cot. Protr ZusorF of the Chev. alier Guard teaches art at Columbia. PRINCE ALEXIS OBOLENSKY teaches mu- sic. PRINCE SERGE GAGARINE works for a shipping firm, and his brother, PRINCE Grecory, of the Hussars of the Guard, runs a livery stable on Long Island. Sikorsky (amphibians), SEveRsKy (bombers), and SERGIEFFsKY (speed planes), are all White Russians, and they are three of the best designers of aircraft in the U.S. Cot. PoLUSHKIN, the greatest living authority on Russian heraldry and line. age, is the doorman at the Savoy-Plaza in New York. Impostors detest his hotel. A White named YourKEviTcH is said to have designed the hull of the Normandie. The French, who wanted it to be an all-French boat, kept him secret and sent him away as soon as they could. But the Normandie reeled in the water at first, and the French had to send for Yourkevitch. Boris BAKHMETEFF, who was KER- ENSKY'S ambassador to the U.S., owns the Lion Match Co. now. ADMIRAL ZAEFF runs an elevator at the Lion factory, and GENERAL KAZARINOFF is the night watchman. One of the most genial and success- . ful of the Russian émigrés is a Georgian named ALEXANDER TARSAIDZE. He worked with the late PRINCE MATCH- ABELLI, and now he has started a per- fume company of his own, to make “Le: Parfums Chevalier Garde.” Mr. TarSAIDZE was born in a town called Gori, “near STAtin's birthplace. He still remembers the excitement the day Stalin robbed a bank in Tiflis. Mr. TARSAIDZE actively assists two of the annual White Russian social events, the Allaverdy Ball, and the Russian Naval Ball. He graduated from the Rus- sian Naval Academy, which was founded by PeTeR THE GREAT on November 19, 1701. Wherever the graduates are, he says, “in Siam or China or Brazil,” they ther on Nov. 19 to celebrate with a quet of goose and apples. EMPRESS ANNA, the wife of Peter The Great, sent and apples to the first Acad- emy dinner, in 1701. Judge comicbooks.com
