Does Worthwhile Things.
Do not get the idea that the village
| has not done some worthwhile things
Some of the best plays on Broadway
have come from there. So have many
of our greatest writers, artisist and
sculptors, but the village will admit
that the majority of its citizenry is
woefully dumb.
Perhaps the best known person in
the village is Bobby Edwards. Aside
from being a strolling minstrel with
| his handmade cigar box ukIlele, he is
editor and publisher of THE Quill'
which he calls an international ANA
teur magazine. 1t is devoted to the
affairs of the village and Its people.
Here are samples of items in the de-
partment labeled society" in a recent
issue:
Jimmy KCmpCr and Jeannettee Nc
Donald are often seen together at
benefits; still, that does not argue
anything
"Mr. Frank Shay, the prominent
author-hunter was seen at the new
Blue Horse this week.
Sally. nee Page, is selling good
combustible wood at the Wood Box
on McDOugal street; also Joe Di Pal
ma has new buzz saw.
Cynthia White las made her an
nual disappearance.
Harry Kemp theater has become
a village institution. Harry. who is
a great poet, sometimes lacks about
$3.50 in cash to finish his productions
but when he does present them they
are worth while"
Money is coy and reluctant in the
village. But, instead of moaning. the
village cheers. What are material
things to the true artist?
The open discussions of sex in the
coffee shops may shock the spinsters
but it is really old stuff to the village.
1t has its tongue in its cheek. 1t
knows that the long-haired young man
with the flowing tie may be a gay
counter jumper from Wanamaker's
by day. And that the bobbed yOung
thing who is posing as a fashion H.
illustrator may be crying, Cash girl
Thirty-six out of a dollar" when the
sun shines.
The village IS stuffed with pose. 1t
is all a childish game.
But there is colour and interest for
the visitor. Just don't take it SER
iously. Here are a few places of
