In New York
BY PAUL HARRISON

ANC" OuS of the celebrity dens is featuring special hangover breakfasts" on Sunday mornings. And Sophie Tucker says that in times like these a gal in love should worry less about the mans standing than about his staggering.
 Lo Tucker, by the way, is back from Florida with tan that re- minds you of Aunt Jemima. Sings on Broadway, as usual, but doesn't live there any more. She has moved right over to Park avenue. .. A theater doorman named Francis Joyce is a ringer for Rudy Vallee. Very annoying. People stop and whisper about him, won dering whether he's the vagabond lover doing an Harun Al-Rashid.
 Practical jokers are taking tl,eir spring workouts on an ad- vcrtisement offering to deliver 100 pounds of fertilizer to any address for $1. Tons of it, or dered in the names of victims, are being carried into hotels and sI,ooty. apartments. A tobacco concern is putting up cigars es- pecially for new, inarticulate pa pas. The band on each cigar an- nounces: "It's boy" or Its girl"

 Whats become of Agnes Ayres? Why, she's leading feminine dance orchestra - the Hollywood Debs. And Jack Doyle, the Irish giant who was slated to bat over Max Baer and croon Bo-bo-bo Crosby in otoblivion? He's haunt ing the Manhattan night spots. Probably searching for table he can get his knees under. Some body snapped his picture with Mary Kirk Brown the other eve- ming, which may be interpreted as one kind of a challenge to MT Baer.
 Jimmy Savo will be a star of tn Theater Guilds revue, "Pa- rade," but has just five lines to speak. Jack Dempsey's suc- cess in the restaurant business has prompted Mickey Walker to try his luck at it. One of these days we're likely to be inhaling Spa- ghetti Camera, or Broiled Oc- topus a la Jim Londos. Arthur Hopkins middle name is Melanc- thon.
 Earl Sande, jockey-turned-war- bier, opened at the Stork Club the other evening. And the man who ha sbooted in the winners Of thousand thrilling races was scared silly. Incidentally. his favorite song is "Home on the Range' - that fo ra monkey-ridcr who scarcely ever saw western saddle or a cayuse. Amazing how Katherine Hepburn hoids New York's interest despite her undistinguished efforts on the stage. The cocktail caverns are full of speculation on her spring visit
 Data on Doyle
 One of the rialto's more poignant plays is titled, ''The Old Maid. During a recent performance there was quite a stir in the second pal- cony. People crowding close some sibilant whisperings, the flash of a hospital interne's white coat. And a baby was born. If you pose in advertisements are bothered by publicity, you should see the fan mial received by tne blue-blooded males. Especially the males such as Percy Pyns, End. whose houses. estates, art treasures and yachts are metic"- lously listed. ,,
