St. Paul recorder., 1940-11-08

Hello. Folks:
Now that we are assured that
our beloved President is in for an
other four years we can resume our
various occupations and look for
ward to the next exciting event in
our busy world.
Do you know: The Four Ink
Spots, outstanding quartet of Ne
gro singers, who gained fame with
their recordings last year, will be
in town soon, appearing at one of
Minneapolis loop theatres. These
four singers at one time were
members of the choir of a Negro
church in Brooklyn. After singing
together for several years they
were offered place on small
radio station where they won fol-
lowing. After making a recording
of the song, "If I Didn't Care"
their fame was assured, for more
than 100000 of their records were
sold. JOHN McHIE is dashing
round town these days in a light
cream, sharp Dodge. .. Just heard
the LOUIS MASONS, SR., may
move into one of the cute Sumner
apartments.
HOneymOOners: The newlyweds,
JOHN CHARLES and ANNE
HENDERSON, are honeymooning
in Seattle, Wash, Sacramento,
Calf, on their way to their love
nest in Oakland, Calf.
My Boy Thursday says: ADE-
LAIDE SYKES, THELMA
SAYLES BERRY, FRANCES
BOUYER, and DOROTHY HALL
were all looking mighty chic out
at the Ballet Russo, given at the
University, a while back.
Have You Heard: ESTYR PER
SONALITY" BRADLEY had one
fine time while visiting her sister
and RACHEL GOODEN formerly
of st. PauD down in Chicago.
Estyr said the Palm Tavern is too
fine. So you folks who make week
end Windy City jaunts take no
tice.
Stranger than Fiction: One
youthful Halloween prankster
broke window pane in one of St. |
Pauls leading might spots" on
that night, after which he at
tempted as fast as he could to get
out of the way. He was followed
by the owner of the night spot, who
said: "You little rascal, you broke |
my window. Now why did you run
away?" WELL" said the devilish
prankster, 81 was running home to |
get the money to pay for it." Any
way, the lad spent the rest of Hal
loween washing dishes in the cafe
and will wash for two more weeks
without any pay.
The Twin City Femme Set are
busy as bees plotting and planning
for their Thanksgiving game and
dance dates. One Minneapolis
"would-be glamor gal" confided to
Sal that she's been sweet as pie
to a certain Rondo Avenue sheik
for the past month and. she thinks
yeah, thinks he'll be her date.
We know different though, cause
he's already asked D. of st. Paul
to be his date, and D. wants to go
with R. of Minneapolis, and R. says
he doesn't want to go with anyone
cause the only gal he's interested
in has gone to Chicago for the win
ter. Now why is life always so
mixed up?
Flash: The pot is still boiling
over that scandalous outbreak due
among the younge- set. Let's
hope the boiling subsidies, though!
Chit Chat Hot from the Griddle:
The J. BIN. G. romance is still
sizzling. A group of round
fifteen st. Paul gals go horseback
riding in the nice morning hours
on Sundays. LEAH YOUNG,
BARBARA COLEMAN and AUD
REY BEATRICE are among the
group who are seen riding around.
Congrats to: MRS. ETHEL RAY
WILLIAMS on her appointment as
secretary to one of the Deans at
Hampton Institute. The Twin
Citians will miss the Williams.

younger boys round town think
