Jewel Thieves Are, How ever, Blocked in Steal
 ing Actress s Gems
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, April 29.-Like the doctor in Grand Hotel" nothing ever happens when I'm around. l was in the Howdy Club, late hour Greenwich Village redezvous, just an hour before it was held up the other morning. Three thugs came in whipped out guns, clubbed couple of customers, and made so much noise that the cops arrived in time for a shooting bee before they could escape. All three of the thugs and one policeman shot.
 And just the day before I was talking to Merle Oberon about her Regency house in London, which she is rehabilitating in the 1903 style to which it was intended. Shortly thereafter she attended a theatre and was advised by her chauffeur that couple of jewel theives had an eye on her. She was greatly disturbed. She and her two escorts went into the Casa Manana, where Billy Rose called in a couple of detectives and then read her a polite but sympathetic lecture.
 You shouldn't wear so many jew- els he advised her earnestly These are unprincipaled times. You should be more careful"
 The next day I went back to see her at her hotel and the petite star with the honey-colored hair and thin brows like two vague cres- cents was stunningly attired in 8 mustard colored dress with fur sleeves and a fur bib. I suppose it was a bib. The front of the dress was fur. She also wore shining napoleonic emblem at the left of the throat which was in gold of three colors and diamonds A ring and bracelet matched.
 But don't worry" she cried My jewels are now safe in vault. They are we'll locked up'
 Miss Oberon has about a week more in New York and then she goes west to make "Graustark" with Gary Cooper. The lanky Montanan's popularity with women is as high abroad as it is here. Miss Oberon said all the women oh'd and ah'd when they learned she was to CO., star with Gary Cooper. You must give Gary a big kiss for me- she was instructed by all her women friends in London.
 Later I barged into La Conga and sat at a table under a spread ing bamboo tree with two North Carolinans, Sidney Spier of Rocky Mount, and Bob Reud of Hickory, and listened to Eric Madriguera weave a veil of entertainment over midnight crowd Many of the towns major latin maeStros were on hand to listen to Madriguera, in- cluding Xavier Cugat and Eddie Le Baron, who is probably the best dancer in New York. He was squir- ing Bernice Smith, of the Smith typewriter family. who is a niece of Mrs. George Washington Cavan- augh.
