PERSONALITIES
BY Nellie Dodson

From WINCHELL'S column Of a
few days ago: Censorship of any
sort is usually senseless-but this
barring of the song Frosted Choco-
late from the networks is something
to groan about. AS result Billy
Rose, who wrote it, is suing the Co.
lumbia network for $4,000. The
ditty was barred on the ground that
it might offend the colored race.
But how they come to that conclusion
is beyond me, too. ;. The theme re-
lates the pity of white man for a
sepia, who is homeless, hungry and
cold. The lyric winds up with the
white man saying that he wants to
help the distressed man-because he
is sure-that if he were in the same
predicament the black man would do
the same for him. A sympathetic
theme, isn't it? =. And hardly of
fensive to anybody . . yeti is
barred. But such songs as I'm
derneath the Harlem Moon and
others fashioned from the same pat
tern are allowed. Those ditties,
while breezy and gay-usually reveal
the black mans and woman's craze
for gin, jazz and lust. 49,. Or they
tend to arouse the pash of any listen

Dearest Auntie Personalities:
At last, after years of diligent
search, I have uncovered the love
secrets of most of the members of
the honorable DIPLOMATS Social
Club-and so here they come:
/. Bud Benner-a Woodworking
man, he doesn't see as much of
Ruth Oden as he'd like to. The feel
ing is mutual.
2. Don Bonaparte-this young frat
mans car is often seen parked before
the residence of Miss Edmonia Perry.
8. Tom Coleman and Carrie Doty
are that way about each other.
a. Doug Green is still looking for
his ideal-a woman with small feet.
5. Ollie Grantham-pines for Hen
rietta-on the side he seems to be
having a ball here and there.
6. Warren Grissom and Adele
Graham - there's enduring love for
you!
z. Reuben Hargrave-hasn't fallen
yet, but oh gal!-when he does!
8. Dave Halls seen here and
there with another mans gal, who, he
declares, is his SILENT love-it's a
peculiar situation-well tell more
later.
9. Bud Kelly trips out on France
Avenue quite often. Can it be true?
10. Woody Mills sees as much of
Marionne PEBBLES as possible, and as
Woody says-"just wait It'll summer!"
II. Jimmie Oliver and Agnes Ellis

watching and waiting.

Doty have remained good friends
