In New York
BY PAUL HARRisoN

 Not south." they told me. "Everybody's gone to the Haupt- mann trial at Remington. Some of 'em get dummy subpoenas that pass 'em into the courthouse. Ac- tresses and actors and playwrights have been begging the newspapers to lot them act as reporters for . day. Some of the neWspaperfnen lend their passes to friends for an hour or two.

Kaufman, Pauline Lord, Hannah Williams, George Abbott, Vina Delnar. Phillip Cunning, and lot of others. A society-rcporting friends of mine says she has spot ted Mrs Geroge U. Harris, Mrs Harvey Dow Gibson, the Richard Fuckers, Frederick Moseleys, Mrs Grenville Bates and the very elc- gant Mrs Williams Goadby Locw ! In the courtroom.

Neither Giaenzer nor the ing them to q party at his house Princess knew anything about it. And on the subject of cxtraord!- nary parties, there was the Dream Ball given as farewell to Sal vador Dali, the Spanish surrcalist painter. All very cockeycd. ana I don't mean just intoxicated.
