New York-Out of c million pranks that were pulled by those American Legionnaires who showed blase Broadway how to really have a good time, these will have prey upon your correspondents mind un- til he Is discharged from the sani- torlunl
 Being surrounded by heavy or. tillery, aimed at the Times Build- Ing; the Legionnaire leading three geese on c leash down Broadway; the horse who checked in ct the McAlpin; the Model T which stood up on It's hind wheels at the busiest corner in Manhattan on 42nd St.: tho Legionnaire who escorted around his Irish terrier named Pa- trick O'ShaughneSy Frank; the Lee gionnaire in underwear at the open window of c Times Square hotel, serenading tho bystanderS on . trumpet; the German Band which set up shop in front of Q picture palace and passed the hat.
 
 Refugee
 All these stunts were passe soon after they were perpetrated and for oil your correspondent knows, were surpassed by stunts a thousand times more spectacular. Your cor- respondent wouldn't know; he took to bod. The Legion invasion, inci- dentally, hasn't made the theater managers happy and the business they anticipated hasn't material ized. It seems that the free show that ran 24 hours . day on all of ManhattanS central streets was better than any to be had for the prico of admission.
 New Sport
 The Legion, by the way, has left behind one pastiine which threatens to become permanent. The game Is called "Shoot the Bartender and 1t goes aS follows: Two or three con- Viviai fellows step up to c bar and call for drinks. As the bartender B filling the beakers, one of the from c toy revolver. If the barten. der jumps and spills the liquor, 1t counts c point. If he doesn't, the fellow who called the shot must stake everybody to a round Of drinks.
 Dramatic Effort

 William Anthony Mcclure who wrote most of the ziegfcld pa- geantG, has created Q new coiffure for ladies-satin hair,, He, Is hav- ing 1t patented, $, ,.E ~.. .
 The swarthy skinned fakir, Cali. Gall, who makes things appear and disappear, was scheduled to perform at the Club Versailles the other night, after arriving from Europe, But immigration officials detained him ct Ellis Island, where he enter tained him at Ellis Island, where he entertained other guests" with his hocus-pocus. Clifford Odets de- scribes his latest play about Q prize- fighter as "A Modern Allegory." Inc cidentally, though the Versailles had gone to pains and expense to have Mitzi Green star in the night ly show, the master of ceremoneis impressively introduced the ex-child movie actress at MitM Mayfair. TOrchy Morgan Sits Again
 Helen Morgan, that incompatible torch -singer with the tear-drop in her voice, has returned to her old love, the back-porch of g baby grand piano in Q midtown night club. She has returned from a suc- cessful trip to London, where she sang before and after the corona ton. She had hoped, when she returned to Broadway. that the new song sin her repertoire would please the hometown folk. They do, but the hometown folk won't let her sing them. For the melancholy voiced Helen has endeared herself to New Workers with her love dir- ges in "Show Boat" and they will listen to nothing new when she is around.
