KAY, Ruth and Mary Lib Over
IN ton, lovely daughters Of Sen
ator and Mrs. John Overton, Of
Louisiana, are planning to desert
washington Sunday and start
leiSurely for their home in Alex
andria with a brief stopover at
Myrtle Beach, one Of the most
famous beaches in the South.
However, before this threesome
starts anywhere, they are going
to do this town in q big way,
for and in honor Of their house
guest, newly arrived last evening.
The guest-one Mary Duncan
Buie (the last name was once
spelled Bowie, but you know how
LouisianianS are about changing
the vowels) has never visited
Washington before and the
OvertonS are determined to have
her do and to see everything.
Incidentally, the OvertonS will
be very lucky If they are able to
see much of their house guest
(after the towns male conting-
ent spots herr for she is a slim,
dynamic brunette with a wealth
Of curly black hair, huge eyes
and such dancing feet that there
is no step, from rhumba to the
Viennese waltz, that Mary Dun
can can't do!
DILL "BOJANGLEs" ROBIN
- SON (speaking Of dancing
feet reminded us Of him) is
known for his quiet, good deeds.
Monday we saw one Of them.
Robinson was standing just out
side the stage door of the Earle
Theater, where he is appearing
this week. The hour was one
that found the street deserted,
with few exceptions, and one
very ancient Negro, pushing a
big load of trash. Every so often
the ancient Negro would stop,
mop his brow, sigh a little and
then go YEARLY on. Robinson
watched him, then he went over
to him and said, softly, II am
Bill Robinson and am working
in this theater here. That's a
heavy load you have there. Got
far to go?" The ancient Negro
admitted he had a great deal
farther to go. Then they con.
tinued to talk and then, so
quietly that other people who
were minding their own affairs
would never have seen him, Bill
Robinson reached in his POCKET,
drew out two bills and slipped
them quickly into the old Negroes
hand. Then he grinned and
dashed back to the privacy Of
the theater.
Johnny CHAPPLEAR has re-
Ocently bought an old and his
toric Maryland place, overlook
ing the Chesapeake Bay, titled,
Hawley'S Manor, and is in
viting loads Of his friends down
for weekend parties, with sail
ing and fishing. One of these
friends, a guest Of Johnny'S last
week, will remember his visit
for quite a time-in fact, for
as long as the four large knots
remain on his slightly aching
head. The friend is Gerard
Guilfoyle and his head was
without one knot until an even
ing sailing party which began
at eight and ended along about
2:30 the next morning and-waS
made most exciting by a definite
lack of breeze which kept
the boat wobbling around in
the middle of the bay, for hours
on end, without getting any
where. Unfortunately for Ger.
ard, one of the sailing mastS
was unaffected by this lack of
breeze and proceeded to swing
about, in a complete swing, every
so often. And-every so often,
