The Corn Is Green These Dark Days
Success of Abbott and Costello in Movies Certiies
That Burlesque Is Sound School for Comedians

The newest sensations in Holly
wood, where sensations are trans
mitted less by the nervous system
than by the bookkeeping depart
ment, unquestionably are Abbott
and Costello. With one inexpen-
sive quickie, Buck PrivateS." they
bounded into a popularity which is
as pleasing to their bosses as it is
disconcerting to those who think
corn is something that should be
planted-but deep! Clearly the boys
are off to fame and fortune beyond
the dream of avarice unless avarice
has learned some new tricks since
the cliche was coined for the bene-
fit of hurrying columniSts.
The celebrity of their take-of was
a thing peculiarly designed to leave
every one dizzy for a while. That
however, is a thing of the past.
Now their success is recognized as
something that was pre-ordained
an eventuality that any one should
have seen with half an eye the
minute the comedians signed their
Hollywood contracts.
It's pre-ordination. if you haven't
thought of its name, was 'Hellza-
poppin'." What was that but a
corn crop on which Olsen and
Johnson-and don't forget the Shu-
berts-harvested millions. What
was it, further, but an unmiStakable
sign that the public was fed up on
cerebral entertainment and dying
only for a bedlam to break loose?
True the naughty critics did not
recognize it as such, walking out
on it in disgust before chorus girl
could hand them live chickens
which would have been the perfect
symbols of the eggs the boys were
to lay in their reviews. But it made
no difference what the critics
thought. "Hellzapoppin'" was what
the public had been waiting for.
Old and With Emphasis.

to Broadway. Abbott and Costello
now are taking to the rest of the
country, namely the Oldest gags in

The greatest of all comedians,

Chaplin performs is something he

of its very poor fit.
So Willie was back in civvies He had his
though he would probably spend the evening
alone. He had a sort of half date with three
of his terminates - Mcgowan O'Brien and
Jones - but he doubted very much that he'd
keep it. Those yahoos would probably wind
up at Joyland, and above all, Willie was a
realist. He knew that any hostess who
squeezed his hand at Joyland, would only
do so at so much squeeze.
There'd been a note for him, hed found,
upon arrival home. Bob, as always, had pre-
ceded him, and the family was rushing Bob
around to eggnog parties so that people could
see his bars. They'd be home later, the note
had informed him, and Willie could join them
for midnight celebration somewhere. Mean
while, there was the radio and the icebox.
No. Willie decided he'd drift idly about
Manhattan, wishing perhaps that he was Gary
Cooper in search of Robert Taylor so that
they could both keep their date with Veronica
Lake. He'd have champagne cocktail at
Gaspard's and moOdily stare in the glass.
Catch the midnight jam in the Times Square
area, though standing apart from the crowd.
1t was then that the door phone rang.
Insistently. Willie remembered that the serv-
ants we're off, He walked out into the foyer,
uncradled the piece, and said: "Yes?"
Miss Hollister calling Mr.. Westover."
Miss Hollister? Who could that be? One
of his mothers literary friends? Perhaps an
old maid come to leave greetings and borrow
one of his mothers books. At any rate, it
was another human and for a moment he'd
hear voice, have another face to look at -
it would be better than being so alone.
So: Have her come up," directed Willie.

In a moment there was knock upon the
door Willie opened it. He didn't act hospit-
ably. Willie seemed in state of traumatic
shock
Take Jones Beach taffy and spin it gossa-
mer fine, and upsweep it from face that's
unspeakably sweet, away from eyes as blue
as that song they sing about town. Also
add small mouth that's red, and whose cor
ners are signalling an incipient smile. Throw
in cute little nose. And then all you've got
is just the head.
ADD to that 1.-THE, slim figure sleek!y
gowned in green slipper satin, and over two
lovely shoulders throw an evening coat of
dark red and you have an approximation of
the loveliness Willie saw.
Also, you'd have something there. Willie
Westover had, and he knew it. Too, he heard
a sound. 1t was like the c phones on Hamp-
tons vibra, mixed in with Strauss waltz
strings. 1t was voice, and it said, I'm Carol
Hollister. May come in?"
Sure" Willie said. Il mean certainly"
He added for good measure: ''Of course"
She glided across the threshold and pre-
sented her shoulders to his hands Over one
of them she looked skitwise up at him. Willie
realized he was expected to take her cape.
He did so with trembling fingers.
Thank you, Lieutenant" she said.
Willie skipped his sudden promotion. He
was bind with the brilliance of her eyes.
Know why I'm here?" she asked brightly.
Willie didn't want to know why. He was
practically delirious with just the knowledge
that she was. But the lady insisted upon tell
ing him. Your outside telephone is out of
order" she said. And I've the saddest sort
of news for you. Marcia can go out with you

him some custom touches nice eyes and
good-looking chin.
When Willie Westover came along year
later, they didn't install any special features;
they just counted him standard production
stuff - and let him ride.
Bob got attention in the nursery without
half trying, while Willie cried like anything
in his cradle all day and got nothing. Bob
made pretty fair marks
When military service broke upon them,
Bob, who'd been foresighted, qualified for a
commission. Willie qualified for Camp Upton
as private second class.
Willie was a nice enough guy and people
liked him - even girls - but never in that
way. Girls sensed at once upon meeting him
that here was lad who'd be sweet to his
mother courteous toward older people, and
kind, no doubt, to dogs. But beyond these
pleasant attributes, Willie just didn't have
the whuff.
Where other lads under summer suns got
done to a nice Polynesian shade of brown
and strolled the shingle of a beach looking
like dark young sea gods, Willie looked like
some dish that you'd put in the oven and,
first, forgot to turn over and, second forgot
to take out. Where he wasn't broiled-loOking,
he was freckled. Great rusty galaxies of them
began on his forehead and spilled down over
the bridge of his slightly plugged nose to gath
er in puddles on his wide shoulders and dribble
away down his arms.
No matter what barber Willie took his
hair to, it always came away looking so
much like a brown coco doormat that you
looked for the 'Welcome" on it. You found
the welcome in Willie's grin.

to do little pitching himself.
Yes, sir; when swing bands were on the
downbeat and moons were on the rise and

Willie was willing too.

AN OLD MONOPOLY

One of the smaller islands of the
Netherlands East Indies is Amboyna, which
for more than two centuries had a world
monopoly in the production of cloves, for
which several battles were fought. First
settled by the Portuguese about 1909, the
island was taken in 1906 by the Dutch, who
also destroyed an English settlement in the
Amboyna massacre of 1923.
While the Portuguese held the colony,
cloves were grown on several islands in the
vicinity, but the Dutch destroyed all the
clove-bearing shrubs except those on AM
boyna, and made the monopoly more COM
plete by selling cloves only at prices set by
the government.
About 1910 the French succeeded in
getting hold of some of the shrubs and be-
gan Glove raising on small scale on Mauri-
thus and Reunion in the Indian Ocean. Later
they were transported to the West Indies
and to Zanzibar on the African coast, the
latter becoming an important producer by
the middle of the last century.
In 1872 great storm destroyed most
Of the trees on Zanzibar, and the thrifty
Dutch, who had stored large quantities of
cloves for many years, reaped rich harvest
when the world had to come to- Amboyna
again for its almost exclusive supply.

THOSE BUILDINGS AGAIN

Authorities inthe Panama Canal Zone,
according to families who have lived there,
go in for form Of direct action in the mat
ter of civic cleanliness that would be re-
freshing, if startling, to Key West.
Gangs Of workmen, it appears, go
through the city on a cleanup mission at
regular intervals, cleaning up lawns, col
lecting debris, and IN general making the
city presentable. When the job is COM
plete, owners of the property which has
been cleaned are sent bills for the work
they should have done themselves.
Something of the kind eventually will
have to be done in Key West, although it
probably would be done on slightly less
drastic basis.
Property owners who now insist that
their liberty as American citizens gives
them the privilege of leaving their property
in whatever condition they please, are talk
ing through their hats-and they know it.
The owners of the debris heaps at
Duval and Greene streets. for instance, are
not exercising their liberty by leaving the
wreekage there, They are exercising a
license which infringes on the rights of the
property owners around them and of the
ciizens of Key West in general.
Their property is valuable only be-
cause other citizens chose to build a city
around it, to build a main street in front of
it. It's value. therefore. is based entirely
OH the work of other citizens, and its pres
ent state represents loss to those other
citizens.
The city, still setting dates when some
thing is going TO be done about it, even
tually must unite its own hands to point
where effective and quick action can be
taken in such eases.
