ran third behind Long and Sam H.

in support of Jones and said he

Bv George Tucker

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-One of
the nice things about knowing
Charles g.. Rochester, friend and
fellow Louisianian, is that ne knows
a lot of people who shoot a lot OF
wild game during the proper sea-
sons. And as they invariably leave
a lot of ducks and geese and tur-
keys hanging on his game-rack, he
gives wonderful game dinners to
which this hungry reporter is &C.
casionally invited.
There was the time Of blessed
memory a few weeks back when
the dinner was wild duck. These
were greenhead mallards shot in
the Arkansas swamps by Clair
Maxwell, of Life magazine and
shipped here by plane. They were
wonderful. When the chef brought
them in they looked like a page
ad, in color, out Of Mr.. Maxwell's
own magazine. Since Mr.. Roches-
ter is the managing director of
the Lexington hotel, you can bet
your pearl stickpin that to the
chef the preparation of this dish
was no perfunctory chore. 1t was
a labor of love.
AS first one bird then another

palates Clair Maxwell would say,
"I shot this one just as he sailed
past a cypress stump" or II got
this one just at dusk, with a load

in envious and attentive silence.
That was a few weeks ago, back
there during the duck season
sometime 80.
Today another call came. This
time is was wild turkey. A fine
gobbler. What lucky hunter bagged
this prize I al not say. But I
can name for you the man who
prepared it. 1t was Charley's chef,
this same Michael Angelo of the
kitchens who previously had pre-
pared the mallards.
Without any desire to lard this
narrative with adjectives I must
express the opinion that here was
the supreme compliment to a Jan
uary day. Gluttony, they say, is
an evil thing. 1t is one of the
seven deadly sins. 1t is well that
these feasts come not too frequent
ly. It is well, too, that Charley in a
little while will leave for Honolulu,
where he spends his annual vaca'
ton. Much more Of this and the
chef would be demanding a raise.
Clair Maxwell would come down
with the govt, and I would take
on those strange dizzy seizures
that come when the underfed en-
rich their blood streams too quick

With all this money in his pock-
ct the poor fellow cut a dizzy pace
in the downtown district. He was
the envy Of the bowery. But one
day several weeks after this he
became violently insane. The doc
tors were called in. After lengthy
examination they explained that
he had been underfed for months.
When he suddenly came into
money and began feasting on thick
steaks and cream, his system just
couldn't stand it. His blood-stream
became enriched too quickly, and
he went crazy. 1t was a sensation.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 19.-Educa-
tional, these vacations.
This one of mine was spent far
away from it all. Little Ohio farm,
where the snow came one night and
left the countryside a miracle of cold
white and black, bare trees.
The folks had heard Of Hollywood.
Sometimes, even, they went to pic
lures. They liked Mickey Rooney
and they remembered Ann Southern
and they were awfully sorry to hear
about Doug Fairbanks.
Sudden, wasn't it?" they said
And TOO bad-he made a lot of
good pictures"
Most of the people I met land they
were city people from way back
planned to see Gone With the
Wind" when they got around to it
but there were one or two who
thought they'd prefer it trimmed
down to sitting-size before they'd un.
dertake to mosey over for a look-see.
Nobody, much, talked about pic
lures, except to evince polite inter-
est in my work out here.
Nobody cared that Sam Goldwyn
was feuding with United Artist-in
fact, I doubt that anybody had heard
about it. Here in Hollywood, though,
that controversy is Colossal 'and
fraught with import. It's very inn
portant to Sam, and to United Ar.
fists, and to Warner Bros, but to
the people that lay it on the box.of-
flee line it's a bore-as it should be.
Back here, it's hot stuff that Sam,
with a VA contract until 1915, has
been supposed to be looking for "out.
side release on his big western
with WB the outsider on the inside
track. Back there, they don't give
a hang who releases what back
there 1.-The Westerner" had just bet
ter be good or they'll tell their
friends to save their nickels and
where will that leave Sam?
Back in this land of perpetual sun
shine (where it's raining and greyer
than the morning after) it's hard to
catch up on the Hollywood parade.
There was a supercolossal umpty.

too for Bob Montgomery's new one,
"The Earl of Chicago" And oh,
yes, "Gulliver's Travels"
Looking over the interesting pieces
done for me by tender-hearted

find a quick alibi necessary along

And from that position, argue
though he might, Gun could not
shift him.
Suddenly Gun sat upright.
"Hullo, what's wrong noW?"
Guns face had taken on a Pc
culiar expression. He seemed at
once to be staring, listening and
smelling.

yet, perhaps, is a combination of

Tommy looked concerned.

"You think, then, that we're on

Tommy, eagerly.

see it. The missing bomber hasn't

kidnapped, presumably in much the

You mean, who'd have an inter-

That's about it! Now, it might
be some move on the part of an in
ternational gang of either fascists
or communists-hence the trying
out of revolutionary tunes. Or it
might be an attempt to get planes
