Rolling Motor Cars
An Exact Science .

Rolling an automobile end-over-
end, something Of a disaster If you
do not mean it, is an exact science
too. In fact, members Of the Sui
eide Club, who provide part Of the
"Cavalcade of Thrills" to be pre-
sented by the Variety Club at Grit
nth Stadium Friday night and Sat
urday afternoon and evening, report
that stunt men are now trying to
figure q way to light cigarette
while bouncing.
Anent the scientific aspect, Ted
Menches, one Of the automobile
wreckers, says: "A man Is so aware
Of every movement his automobile
is to make that he watches care
fully for any sign Of break in its
structure, while he hangs onto safety
devices rugged inside the car"
This is understandable, but Mr..
Menches did not say just what q
driver does about 1t when he dis
covers q Sign of q break in its
structure" when an automobile is
rolling end-over- Maybe that's
why they're trying to figure out q
way to light q cigarette In the mid

Not to be frustrated in its de-
termination to ask questions this
department interviewed a miscel-
lany of Spitalny collaborators on
the assumption that they were close
enough to the maestro to know
what is in his mind. The answers
in each case were glib enough to
indicate that the boys knew what
they were talking about and what
Phil is thinking.
For instance, it turns out that
bands are your best entertainment
TAT any rate they have become a
huge Industry, not merely for the
music they play but for the show

acrobats and all the other touches

The radio, good old radio, of
course is responsible for building up
the personalities of leaders and the
popularity of their virtuosos. On
the other hand, however, it might
have slaughtered them had not
music acquired the virtually infinite
variety that enables each individual
unit to express originality. Mr..
Spitalny expresses it fundamentally,
of course. in presenting an al-girl
band. easily the incest thing he ever
thought up for the entertainment of
the masses. Another happy product
of his showmanship is the employ
ment of eloquent, personable, intelli-
gent Drama Critic John Anderson
as master of ceremonies for his radio
show. Log-rolling, eh. butchD

of lad who will do anything for a
gag. Hollywood is the place where
a gag will do for anything. For the
last two years, NORM has been en-
couraged by studio biggies to play
the following type of prank. He
pretended he was q reporter from
a French paper and wanted an in
terview from Robert Benchley. Bob
speaks French, but it took him two
hours to catch on-and that was
only after NORM had repeatedly
asked him-"Why do you make
those shorts? Are they supposed to
be funny?" Recently Mr.. NORM
dressed as an Indian rajah, called
on Daryl Zanuck's studio barber.
do you want a shaver" the barber
asked the rajah. The rajah shook
his head. "Manicure?" He shook
his head again and pointed to his
feet. After the toe treatment, the
Indian pulled a dozen unset dia-
monds from his pocket and gave the
barber five of them. The lad rushed
to the nearest jeweler to have them
valued. OF course, they were bits
of glass. Anyway, as the result of
all this, and because directors like
to have funny co man on the set,
NORM is now q movie actor. He
played bit In Lady of the Tropics

chance to see his shadow on Thurs
day last, February End, because
there were both fog and dizzle OF
rain along about the time this little
so-called weather prognosticator is
supposed to make his appearance.
AS he failed to see his shadow, and
therefore was not frightened back,
this is sure {? sign of approach
ing Spring,-we are told.
And here is something else to
bolster up this sign of an early
Spring,-if you are a believer in
signs. A robin was seen here in town
on Thursday last. We saw it, and
have others who saw the bird, to
back this statement up,-Believe it
or not.
So Mr.. Ground Hog has Robin
Redbreast on his side, if you are
pinning your faith on him. :
