 Although he exudes naivete and folksiness on the Amateur Hour, Major Bowes is Q High Efficiency executive in business life, inaecessi- ble to the codger from c Three River Falls who can play Q clarinet upside down.
 Another whose whimsy does not mark the man himself is Walt Disney. He doesn't wear Mickey Mouse on his sleeve nor does he practice those funny noises on his friends. In fact, . fairly serious fellow.
 I've been watching Lee Tracy in the celluloids for years, chas- ing rainbows, Q girl or Q hot story, but that IS not the same Lee Tracy, of private life. who likes nothing better than to remain sta- tionary ct home or c favorite ren- dezvous, discoursing on topics of the day.
 Mayor Laouardia has been rightly dubbed the Fiery Fiorello for his public activity but his nicknamers should look him up sometime when he is in the clutches of the children at home.
 There have been innumefable tales about the tight-lipped sepian sizSle, Joe Louis. But take 1t on the word of Walter Stewart, who so- journed at his camp, Louis is one of the most garrulous boxers he ever has interviewed.
 ] Beyond Criticism
 Anyone who has read George Jean Nathan's poisonous post mor- tems over Broadway's shows is en- titled to picture him as Q burly, gruff and misanthropic scribe. When, in fact, Critic Nathan owns the softest voice on the reviewing stand, is a close friend of innumer- able actors, producers and play- wrights.

 Among incorrigible epicureans, the world rates Alexander Woollcott as that charmed circles No. 1 man and pictures him in Q sedentary pose. slipping cognac in Q Napoleon glass and exchanging quips with Dorothy Parker ct the opposite table.

 Mrs. Violet McTurk, a female counterpart of Trader Horn, came to town the other day for the first time in her life. And in fact this is the first time in seven years that she has returned to civilization since she settled down among the bare barrie Indians in the jungIes of Brit ish Guiana. How does a jungle dweller feel about Manhattan's spires. chatter and civilized turmoil7
 Well" said Mrs. McTurk, "NeW York is very exciting, but I find the life there fascinating too" In fact. she finds life in the jungle more peaceful than in civilized cities, She is not without the company oi white people in her jungle home, for frequently Q f0raging party from Hollywood comes along to enact a jungle tale. She ferries them, in her own boat. up the POtaro river to Q suitable locale. She owns sev- eral gold claims in the neighbcr' hood.
