The guardian. [volume] (Boston, Mass.) 1901-1960, 1939-07-15

Hello folks This week for a
change of news allow me to introduce
my guest columnist,
THE WANDERER
Hi va pal, so you roped this miser-
able soul in once again to do the dirty
work, Ell? well since I'm in the groove
and l really am that I'll see what I
can do. Well, let's all join in giving
first Of all the Dunbar Associates a
big hand for the grand work they have
done in bringing to our staid town the
leading bands of the land &. and the
way the jitterbugs have patronized
this groups endeavor leaves not the
least doubt as to their enthusiasm
the latest presentation is to be none
other than that master of the sax,
Jimmie Lunceford of Harlem Express
fame. Jimmie comes to the Roseland
State July 10 and, assuredly. the hall
will be packed to capacity due to the
tremendous drawing power of this
most engaging ensemble. Palsi
walsie Ethel Wood celebrated her
birthday last Sunday but as the entire
press were out sporting in a manner
a la mode at quaint Mashpee, yours
truly doesn't have the details on what
happens but you can rest assured that
on docket for next week We'll know
what the McAdoo- Wood clan did or
we'll know the reason why which
brings to mind that when LaBelle
McAdoo celebrated her birthday
week or so ago the swingeroo that was
staged was one for historians to re-
. . The influx of summer
students has dropped considerably so
it seems to me Gam l wrong) this
season and no one can seem to give a
logical reason =. don't tell me that
our good town is growing stale. Won
der could you give our readers any
info on the progress of the McClane-
HolbrOOk romance you know this
fine thing began back a summer or
so ago and ever since Curtiss has been
taking every spare second off to trek
to the Boston like city of Brooklyn to
see his fine flame. Another one of
those torrid sweethearts on parade
things comes to life with engaging
Yvonne Walker of Cleveland, who did
graduate work at Blu, dropping in
upon us to see how her heart interest,
frankie Roberts, is a-getting along
fine stuff, papa, and l wonder if
you half know how lucky you are
here's an interesting item to learn that
our pal, Fats Johnson, has been ap-
pointed to the South End Housing
Project in the capacity of Waterman.
e. Fats is in uniform, shoots pistol
and all, so don't try to get funny.
Odds n Ends
A couple of our more progressive
young men about town have decided
to venture forth into the business
world and those I have in mind are
Otto Snowden and Ernie Slaughter i.
the former actively engaged in the cir
culation angle of the newspaper; main
tains an Office on Humboldt Ave. while
Ernie is backing the new Estelle's
Chiffon Shoppe located on fremont St.
across from SHADES we like this
sort of thing because it shows such a
tremendous amount of ingenuity on
the part of our up and coming citizens.
Glimpsed Reynold Coster Just a
few minutes ago in one of the student
driving school cars mmmm it
smells as if another new gas buggy
is about to hit the road. Did Won
know that statistics indicate that the
state of Mass. is one of the states list
ed as having the least number of acct
dents -. . now to all the iitterbugs.
this state means to keep this record as
l., i
his fill and is now qualified voice of
experience. Cute little Mae Bailey
has once again taken over honors ac-
cording to general opinion as being
the cutest sweetie on good sugar hill
-. not bad choice because this scribe
comedies in one second that Mae has
developed a most delightful personal
ity, something that most of our lovely
claimants to beauty lack Babe
Stephens has definitely gone out of
circulation now that she has only ewes
for one Il wonder if you can guess
who is the main thrush). Freddie
Wheelock picked a winner in the recent
Massachusetts, handicap race at Suf-
folk Downs e.. as you no doubt know
by now the winning nag was Gallant
Fox . now Wheel, as the bows call
him is the center of information as to
who is the best bet . think we'll 90
over and buzz Wheel slightly. =. Seems
that quite few groups decided to
