 the old credo of Anita Loos: Gentlemen Don't Prefer Blondes. They Prefer Cigarette Wrappers" WHAT HO! AN HONEST
 SONG SNATCHER!
 No denizen of Swing street is a more starry-eyed, lovable note-struck idolator of the June Moon, in my notion, than Teddy Power. He is a famous band leader now, but he has not changed.
 l have known him a long time, since he first valiantly rhymed Son and Hon and June and Moon with simple devotion. He lived and still doeS-in the heart of Tin Pan Alley, and he lives, eats and breathes tune thatll catch on." He was wont to buttonhole me at the Tavern. How do you like this, George, Its All Over Town. We're Thru"
 I said it was great, out of sheer indifference. It has become hit song since then. Powell is the Tin Pan Alleyite who gave the nation Boots and Saddle" though he's never been on ranch in his life. I doubt that he has ever seen, let alone ridden, a horse. I asked him how he came to write that.
 Well, said Teddy, one day the music publisher suggested that "Git Along Little Dogie" tunes were in vogue. So Teddy went into the next rooms, put the best notes of all the hill-billy songs together, and Boots and Saddle" emerged.
 You can't help liking a fellow who is so disarmngly frank! UPS AND DOWNS
 OF HIRSUTE GLAMOR
 Dispensing the glamor of for eign lands (difficult enough at this moment) is more incon- venient than you think. Take the case of Count Leopold zimmer- man, a portly and courtly gentle man who is in charge of the Res taurant Hungaria.
 Now the commonerS of Man haitian have extravagant notions of aristocracy in Budapest. They like to think that Hungarian mo- blemen wear dashing garb, en- hanced by epaulets and brocaded insignia, and that they wear their muStaches up in dashing curls.
 Count zimmerman is not one to disillusion them. When he pre- sides at the Restaurant Hungaria, he has run a comb and brush through that bushy mustache of his and has let it swirl upward on both sides of his mouth in two parallel, vertical lines.
 But during the daytime, when he is on duty, the. count cannot abide this position of his mus tache. So he curls it downward. Sometimes this forced Jekyl and Hyde personality embarrasses him when he meets his nocturnal friends in the broad daylight. SCOTS LASSIE-
 FROM TIMES SQUARE
 Selfstyled "a wee bit O Scotch" is Ella Logan, who is one of the wee, beautiful drappies in George Whites Scandals" Her thick Scotch brogue would intrigue a Sir Harry Lauder and fool any, one in Glasgow, though she has spent most of her life right here on Times Square.
 She used to vocalize with Rudy Vallee's orchestra and take any song and convert 1t into a Scotch burr. It was big success. Yet, she never has braved an engage !, ment in Scotland, though Sir Harry invited here. She doesn't feel that she could burr well enough to pass.

 SEEMS THAT LONG
 Sir Joseph Ginzberg, the hu- morously- -beknighted court jester to Willie Howard, has just finish ed his autobiography. My Thirty three and One-half Years With Willie Howard" is the title and the authorship is accredited to "The Great Sir Joseph Ginzberg." Curiously enough, the fy-leaf says that Sir Joseph spent 35 years
