By the Spectator.
Trade Mark REGISTERED o. q. Patent once.

Confucius also say: "No column
Thursday, no job Friday" So 1t be-
hooves Ye Spectator to get his long
white beard out of the vapor inhaler
and set forth a report on the recent
doings In the towns cabarets,
taverns and wayside rendezvous.
The major note at the moment is
one Of anticipation, sort of watch
full waiting, as it were, looking to-
ward this mad week end, when the
town will start to fill with cinema
stars here for the Presidents Birth
day Ball Tuesday night.
These will be a hectic few days,
these first days Of next week. This
week, as a matter Of fact, has had
its hectic moments. For one thing,
the week has brought forth the Bill
McCune Club Of Whiting, Ind. Con-
fucius, or somebody, always did say
Man who make music like Bill
McCune deserve club" and don't get
us wrong. Anyhow the popular
maestro of the Cartons Shar-zad
has a letter from a Wally Evans of
the Indiana town, who is president
of the McCune fans, who announce,
among other things, that they prefer
staccato rhythm to swing, that they
would like to hear Indian Summer" "
that they are going to make this
organization grow. Well, they could
find lot of recruits around here.
Gene Autry, for instance, was
a recent Shar-Zad ringsider and
McCune admirer, startling the day
lights out OF lot of people by BURST
ing in out of the blizzard of swirling
snow Tuesday night clad in white
suit and bejeweled boots. First
glimpse the Shar-Zad ever had of a
top horse opera star and it Is to the
credit of each that neither of them
stared. Mr.. McCune's music, in
cidentally, provided accompaniment
for the noted Autry voice that night,
according to one of this depart
ments fairly trustworthy spies, Mr..
Autry grooming into Judy Canova's
ear and vice versa as they danced.

Story sent down by the Mayfower

South American travel after May

That's what you call putting drive
into a song.
- After one look at this Sasha
Bolshikoff, who left the Cossack
chorus recently here to become part
of the Troika merriment, you, too,
will be one of those who hope he
just stays and stays. He's very
fine and he gives those Troika skits
just the touch they have needed.

DR.. Byron Haines. who was accused
in a 100000 alienation-of -affec-

"a years of age, had jury's ver-

The jury returned a verdict in
his favor last night, denying dam
ages to Capt. James Wiley, who
testified the retired dentist had
stolen the affections of Mrs. Lii
liam Wiley, 81, the PLAINTIFF S
divorced wife.
II feel that the verdict is a COM
plete vindication Of what amounted
to a vicious attack upon the repu-
tation of q perfectly respectable
lady," said the white-haired de-
fendant.
Mr.. Wiley. former Federal steam
ship inspector, did not comment,
and his attorneys made no imme-
diate announcement of plans to
appeal the verdict, returned before
Superior Judge Edward I. Butler
after a three-day trial.

''' Something else you probably
knew all along but which we just
found out, is the difference between
trumpet and cornet and why the
latter is more difficult. Most of the
trumpet players in the towns dance
bands play trumpet, which isn't so
silly a statement as it sounds, be-
cause Artie Humes, who is called the
trumpet player in Pete Macias'
Lounge Riviera orchestra, plays cor
net. It's more difficult because its
closer-coupled, the tubing has sharp

the radio star. They had told the
stories Of their broken romances
and their grievances against a cold
world.
But it was not until the next
night, at another spot, that Myra
learned Tcrry's former fiancee
lived with Romany Halle. Into her
mind came the thought that,
through Terry O'Rourke, she might
find a way to get the revenge she
wanted against the girl who had
taken not only her fiance, but who
had threatened her radio throne.
Aside from that, Terry was an
amusing companion and his voice
was a gift of the gods. =.
And Terry considered himself
lucky to have met the ado star.
When Cholly heard about it, she'd
certainly sit UP and take notice!
