EVONNE™ ECARLO says
1 she fell literally as well as
figuratively for her fiance,
handsome Howard Duff, who
is “Sam Spade" on CBS Sun-
day evenings. It happened
during the filming of their first
scene together in his first picture,
“Brute Force.” Director Jules Das-
sin told them to rush together in a
passionate embrace, but something
went wrong; Yvonne’s chin crashed
against Howard’s forehead, she saw
stars, and would have fallen fiat if
YVONNE DE CARLO
he hadn’t held her. Incidentally,
Yvonne and Howard play man and
wife in “Brute Force”—roles they’ll
soon be playing in real life. And
when they kiss each other now their
timing is perfect!

Believe it or not, Bob Ripley
draws upside down! Maybe that’s
why, when he worked as a cartoon-
ist for $8 a week, he was fired for
asking a $2.50 raise. He’s unbeliev-
able himself — has five cars but
can’t drive one, has never played
cards or smoked; was the first to
broadcast ship to shore, to send a
cartoon by radio, and first to broad-
cast simultaneously around the
world.

“Nobody but Jolson ean follow
Bing.” That’s what they’ve been
saying In radio circles since '“The
Jolson Story” started A1 on the
most spectacular come-back hi the
history of the entertainment busi-
ness. Jolson Is saying it, too, now,
since he has signed to take over the
Music Hall spot that Croaby made
so popular. Ho starts October 2.
With a swarm of sponsors after
him, ha offered himself for the spot,
because he likes Its air time. Mean-
while the movie companies are hot
on his trail.

When Joan Lorriag gave Douglas
Fairbanks Sr., her letter of intro-
duction she had high hopes. He
wasn’t interested till he heard her
telling dialect stories — then he
signed her up, but died before he
could do anything for her. She did
a lot of radio, signed with Metro,
was ignored, returned to radio—
finally got a break, after many dis-
appointments, in "The Com Is
Green.”

Radio is certainly a springboard
for aspiring actors. The daytime
aerial, “Big Sister,” has had aa bit-
part players in the last ton years
Orson Welles, Garson Kanin, Agnes
Moorhead, Diana Barrymore, Han-
ley Stafford and Alexander Kirk-
land.

Don McLaughlin, who is the star
of “David Harding, Counterspy,” is
a crusader at heart. He likes noth-
ing better than exposing people like
the housing racketeers who victim-
ized veterans. He gets steamed up,
phones Phillips Lord, who writes
the "Counterspy” scripts, and an
effective broadcast is the result.

For the sake of realism, the first

Letters for Special Delivery
Prof. E. M. Jsmnek,
Tale University.
Dear Professor:
I have read your article stating
that there were more heavy drink-
ing women in grandma’s day than
there are today, and am I laughing!
You say that there were more
dames crocked in -the gay nineties
than in the cockeyed forties and
you quote figures, but they bounce
right off my convictions based on
first-hand observations, checks, no-
tations, scenic appearances and
general conditions in drinking cir-
cles.
In piy grandma’s day a female-in,
a barroom was strictly unique, ex-
traordinary, deolaaae and a bum. A
woman could get talked about for
creeping to within $09 yards -of a
beer barrel at a beach picnic. Many
a girl lost her rep for being seen
with a man who had an alcoholic
breath. If grandpa going to Toole
and McGinn’s for a snifter ever saw
grandma and Aunt Aggie standing
at the bar and demanding a heavier
slog In the next one he would have
yelled fer the cops, the totally doc-
tor and a closed hack.

Pull youraelf together, professor,
before you tell me that Whistler’s
Mother had a rumpus room, that
the Old Oaken Bucket hung in the
■till and. that the Face on the Bar-
room Floor was the them* song in
every old-fashioned cottage. (And
no claiming that mommer darned
the socks while half crocked, raised
all those kids while shaking up
drinks ahd crawled around the old
homestead baking pies on her
hands and knees.)

I know better. And what la more,
doctor, if many of those grand-
mothers ware around they would
make yon eat your words, ran yon
ragged among the elms of the Tala
campus and make yon issue a com-
plete denial from the roof of Mory’s
College Ale House.
Correction, please, before It Is too
lata.
Yours, Elmer Twitehell
