him downtown"
In comparison with her own
trouble this reluctance OF Sybil' 5

TO the rooming house seemed IN
important, but Faith could see
that it really disturbed Miss Van.
Her face looked more tired than

NOTES OF A NEW YORK

How come the papers missed the one about Jane Wyatt of the Quiet Please" show? She forgot the title of her show while seeing Nazi movie Wednesday, and when Hitler was flashed on the screen the audience cheered, except Jane, who booed. Her manly neighbor reached over and socked her on the back of her pretty collar button-and she's now playing her role in Quiet Please" with stiff neck.
 Why haven't the gazettes followed up the story about Capone being in Mayo Brothers hosp? The talk is that he is tough case.
 Is that Broadway mob" buzz true about a former Main Drag char acter wearing a concrete suit" in the Pacific ocean?
 Are Ambassador Joe Kennedy and banker friends dickering for the purchase of a chain of newspapers, with Kennedy as publisher?
 Why was that story hushed up in Boston about a wealthy society ma tron who tried to kill herself in a magician's dressing room?
 Doesn't Il Duce think it is about time that he replace The Roman Eagle with The Homing Pigeon? The BlitzGreek indicates it.
 Isn't it true that when MT. Dies reveals that Chicago matrons name (as being pro-NazD it won't sur- prise delicatessen eaters?
 Wonder how true the talk is about movement in Puerto Rico to have FDR appoint Mayor LaGuardia gov- ernor of the Island?
 Are the Duke of Rents children living under the same roof with J. P. Morgan-under the name of Smith? So the rumor says.
 Who almost murdered that Nazi- pamphlet distributor at the corner of 85th Street and 2nd Avenue Mon- day night? His assumed last name is Rostocki, but his real handle is Weir. And ain't it shame, Name?
 Wonder why the govt fears ex- posing the activities of dictator dip lomats in the U. S.? Newspapermen and mags have for years.
 Add expert counsel by Elsie Janis, who oughta know: "Tell those kids starting in show business that a slap on the back or sock on the chin are really the same if your balance is good"
 Has the Army repaired the cable for the cable-cord at the top of Diamond Head (HawaiD so that when an alert is given the boys don't have to carry their phone equipment up 75o steps? It is one and half times higher than the Washington Monument! Who is responsible for such cruelty?
 Does Ethel Norman (the bride of Panama Hattie") know that the shower being tossed for her by the cast tonight is to present her with red flannel underwear to keep her warm until her groom returns?
 Who cares whether or not Rene de Chambrun has been summoned (Which he has) to Vichy by the first Clipper? The unfavorable publicity has dulled his usefulness. His plans were to stay here. He will also have to cancel lucrative lecture tour
