THE VOICE OF Broad WaY

drove up Park Avenue with
those hOOfS still beating their
tOm-tom into his ears until at
Thirty.fOurth Street he could
bear it no longer. He couldn't
understand why the policeman
didn't stop him instead of fol-
lowing him.
So he halted his car and
jumped out. The clatter of the
hOOfS ceased. And then he
discovered that the policeman'S
horse was tied to his rear
bumpers.
I have been invited to be-
come a pupil at the bartenders'
school of an Eddie Brinkman.
I am informed I'll never want
to be a columnist again if I
permit Mr.. Brinkman to in
Struct me in the fine arts of
expert Mythology. His tiny
classroom looks like a speak
easy except that there is no
mirror behind the bar, no
drunks, no radio and no cash
register.
I will see a complete assort-
ment of glassware and bottles,
from the familiar gin contain
erS of the present era to the
tortouously shaped holders of
the rarest and most exotic
wines and liqueurs. These,
am advised in advance, are
filled only with water colored
to approximate the type of
titter-tonic for which they're in
tended. I will learn how to
crack ice, open a lemon, pour
just the proper amount of this
and the proper amount Of that.
1 will learn the proper flourish
for the proper shake.
I will learn, too, among other
things, according to Richard
Osk, who invites me, that
cognoc is distilled from fer
mented grapeskins after the
grapes are first used for cham
pagne. And if I already know
that, I will learn how to make
creme de menthe and a mint
juliet without mint or julep.

on this columnistic platter to-
day by S. Watkins. who calls
smy attention to an East Slider
named BoroS, a Rumanian who
lures a meager livelihood out
of writing pamphlets and pieces
for foreign newspapers. BoroS
is one of a group of literary
gents of foreign extraction who
gather nightly at the Cafe
Royal or at one or other of the
Rumanian restaurants and sit
around and talk until the early
hours of the morning.
For years, he was more or
less a leader of his own par
ticular group. Sympathy had
a great deal to do with it. 1t
appears that most Of his fore
bears on his parental side had
lost their ~eyesight by the time
they reached the age of 40.
His father was blind at 80. His
grandfather at 40. His brother
at 40 and his great-grandfather
at 38. Boros accepted his doom
philosophically-he was even
practicing writing with his eyes
shut and was studying Braille
in preparation. Not night
passed but he didn't comment
upon his impending blindness.
His cronieS would shake their
heads and click their tongues
against their teeth in sympathy
=ztheir admiration for the
bravery of the fellow was great.
Three years ago, BoroS cele-
brated his fortieth birthday.
His eyesight was still unim-
paired. Today, at 43, he is an
humble. broken man. He says
little, he mixes little. When
he does get together with his
friends, he walks around num-
bling. He is really the most
miserable of beings. For there
IS no indication that Boros will
ever lose his eyesight. The
oculists won't even prescribe
glasses for him-they tell him
he doesn't need them. He's
ashamed to face his friends
he feels he's lost his hold On
them completely.
No song is really ever dead.
The history of the ditty "S
O'Clock in the Morning" and
how it was revived and how it
became an outstanding hit after
several years of ObScurity is too
well known-I've told it myself
several times. There was that
''BIue PajamaS" sOng-I've for
fOtten what show gave it its
first airing-nOthing was heard
of it again until couple of sing
ing boys, DesIys and Clarke be-
gan singing it every night and
swept it into a long furry of
popularity.
melancholy Baby" was a hit
from the start, thanks to Tom
my Lyman, but i'm the past few
years it was rarely heard until
one day 1 mentioned casually
in this column that there was
NO quicker way to my heart
than the singing or playing of
this tune and now you hear it
everywhere-in the night clubs
and speaks, at any rate.
The other day / mentioned
that another song that appealed
to me was "April in Paris" and
from Vernon Duke, its COM
poser, I receive letter inform
ing me that although it was
part and parcel of the show
"Walk a Little Faster" for 16
weeks, no one paid it much
heed until Marion Chase began
singing it every night at the
Surf Club and its only now
after many months that the
first commercial OrchestratiOnS

umn of August 29th that he is
a regular guy but who came
right out and said that this
Theodore Pratt was pretty snide
for writing that article. Para
disc Enjoys a Boom" in
Menck's Merk. Now, Dennis, l
read, as you say you did, the
Spanish version of my article.
In fact, l wondered who wrote
it.
I'm still not quite sure, and
though you havn't entered my
suspicious, 1 wonder if it could
have been you. I was pretty
surprised at lot of things in
it and the cute way it was done.
Some day you ought to read
the article in English, and then,
Dennis, you will be in more
ethical position to write letters
to Mr.. Sobol. Whatever gave
you the idea I was among the
cheap nest of craWlerS' in
Palma de Mollorca? You must
have mistaken me for someone
else while you we're there be-
cause I was way out in Puerto
de Pollensa where phonies are
really phonies.
Your. cheap craWlerS' of Pal
ma were a gang of Pollyannas
compared to the way We grew
them at the other side of the
Island. And you ought to study
up on the difference between
the ridiculous and the amusing.
In my other articles at which
you stick up your pretty nose,
I never took the French Seri-
ously enough to regard them as
ridiculous. No, Dennis. no one
is ridiculous until he gets all
het up protecting a sweet, inno-
cent, darling, charming foreign
people against his own, b d,
dastardly, wicked, chiseling
countrymen. Some day drop in
and look over the medals I had
pinned on me by people who
lived in Mallorca for a year or
more and who really know it.
I'm surprised myself.
One thing more, Dennis, es-
pecially if you are going to stay
in Spain. The famous Guardia
Civil is not made up from non-
commissioned officers of the
regular Spanish army. Sons
OF guardias start out as early
as six to study the old mans
vocation and rarely does anyone
else worm into the corps. And
you ought to be more careful
about making such wild re-
marks about the five Americans
who were jailed and who are
about to be court-martialed. A
few of us know what really
happened that night and you
don't seem to. That's why,
Dennis, you should have given
them a break. You sound as if
you have gone native-I've seen
a lot of the folks go native and
it's tco bad. Please don't do it
for my sake"
