A lady we never expected
would become a slick chick
Myrna Loy-Was cutting quite
a rug on a movie set. She haJ
her boots on and was throwing
her frame around in jitterbug
dance with Arthur Walsh. the
nations self-styled "Jitterbug
King"
solid murder-cookin' on
the front burners was the
way Theresa, Myrnas maid,
described it.
Theresa is jitterbug champ CT
Los Angeles Harlem. She coacl-
ed Myrna. She even brought
1--WE records from home because
she said the studio music WASH
in the groove.
Everyone seemed happy about
it all except Myrna. She was
perSpiring and she said she
really didn't know much about
this jitterbug business. She was
worried about what the hepca 5
would think.
Arthur is doing all the
work she said | just follow
him around and do lot of fax

Walsh said Myrna was just as
good as any of the slick chicks.
She sends me- Arthur said.
If you're hep. you know that
quite a compliment.
108 TIMES A CHAMP
Arthurs quite character.
Seems he acquired the Utter
bug King title after winning
108 jitterbug contests out of 100
starts. He lost the first one.
That was before | got smart
he said. Il had a partner so
heavy l could hardly lift her.
After that | got a new doll
heavier than me. She threw
me around and the judges went
wild"

10 John Hertz Jr. had taken her
to New York. Two weeks after
their separation M-G-M asked
her if she'd like TO come home.
Myrna said she would.
This new Thin Man" the
fifth in the series, has Powell
ard Myrna returning to his
home town of Sycamore Springs
10 clear up a couple of murders.
You'll meet Nick S parents for
the first time-played by Harry
Davenport and Lucille Watson,
But the baby Nick and Nora had
in the third "ThinzMan' pic
ture has been eliminated.
There's something in the
script about the kid being in a
nursery school. But the real
reason the baby isn't in the pic
ture is that the studio found he
just got in the way Of things.
ASIA is AGING
They're having little trouble
with Asia, the wire-haired ter
rier. After 10 years of stardon
in these "ThinS Man pictures
he's getting little old for the
part. Doesn't get around like he
did when the first one was film
cd back in 1884. But they cant
write Asia out Of the script as
easily as they did the baby, SO
he has a couple Of doubles VINO

real Asia comes in just for the

Asia isn't too old, though, 10

dered off the set and visited
sound stage where Fred Astaire
and Gene Kelly were dancing.
An assistant director, thinking
Asia was a stray. hustled him off
the set. The gent has taken
rlbbing ever since. People re-
mind him that Asia earns more
than he does.

saw Mrs. Millard Tyding's mother
Mrs. Davies-Betty Ann Mills and
her mother, down from New York
Betty Ann though only twenty
two has done number of portraits
and has an exhibit in Washington
at present. Mrs. Dolly Gam was
there-not a sign of Alice Long
worth, however. 1t did amuse us
a little to see Mrs. Arthur Vanden-
burg seated next to Mrs. Roose-
velt chatting gayly. Mrs. Roose-
velt begins to look careworn, her
remarks at the conclusion of the
meal We're on the serious side
she has been "over there" and con-
stantly visits hospitals in this
countryside knows so much better
than we do just what we have to
face in the future.
"The next four years will be
full Of very grave responsibility
for all of us-there is work in the
world for every one of us--it is
just a question of having the i'm
agination and determination to
find it out and to do it,, Mrs.
Roosevelt said. She urged every
women to do her part to help free
the world of the misery which she
declared is increasing day by day
and told of the large number Of
letters she receives daily from
women who have lost their men in
the war.
Miss Bloom got the biggest laugh
of the day when she said that it
was certainly relief to see that
she had so many friends, as her
publisher had told her that she
would have no friends after her
book was published. "Those you
write about won't like you and
neither will those you do not write
about, he said. We Immediately
glanced at Mrs. Gam and wonder
ed if she recalled the quip about
naming a color "Gann Green.
Well. it is an amusing book-quite
the incest we have read about "Life
In Washington, but after all the
protocol it revealed, you can
easily see why we did not expect
to find a simple country news
paperwoman seated "aboye the
salt" when so many distinguished
persons were present.

MONTGOMERY SIDELIGHTS
: By ELSIE WHITE HAINEs

\
One of the incest things about
being a writer is that one gets to
know other writer's. Monday af-
ternoon at luncheon table in
Washington, we sat between Gret-
chen Smith Of The Star and Alice
Myers of the Christian Science
Monitor and watched them take
notes as Mrs. Roosevelt and Vera
Bloom talked to group Of news
paper women and their guests.
Just across the table was Nal
vina Lindsay-that clever writer
of satire and more lately of seri-
Gus editorials--just as good to look
at as her columns are to read. Not
far away sat Jessie FAINT Evans
we first became interested in her
through Mrs. w. C. Frersch, of
Goshen, who admires her work so
greatly. At the next table--close
enough to smile at us, and with us
was Pauline Frederick, tall, dark
and handsome--she is with "Bauk-
age Talking"-when he pauses and
says: "a bulletin has just been
handed me-, most likely it is she
who has read it,, edited it and
handed it to him.
The luncheon was given by the
American Newspaper Women's
Club to celebrate the 9th year of
Mrs. Roosevelt's column "My Day"
and the presentation to the world
of Vera Blooms book "There Is
No Place Like Washington. Alice
Eversham, president of the club
presented the former with small
birthday cake with nine candles
and Miss Bloom with an account
book in which to keep record Of her
sales--as bit of fun.
To us the most interesting chap
ters of Miss Blooms book are laid
not in Washington, but in Italy
for she knew Mussolini when he
was an obscure editor, and predict
ed a great future for him. She
came to know him very well in
later years. She also got some
unpleasant publicity because of the
fact, if we remember well. The
book dwells on the Importance of
precedence of rank and the bat
ties waged over it--somehow we
must have had the idea that even
at the luncheon seating arrange
ment would be carefully thought
out and that we would be seated
"below the salt.
Those in charge had very clever
ly avoided all responsibility by
letting everyone unwittingly choose
her own seat. Before one entered
a box Of flowers was offered that
choice might be made-as many
colors as there was tables, and as
many of each color as there were
guests--of course we did not know
that at first. We chose a chry-
santhemum Of a rust gold and was
a good picker for there we were
right up close to the salt.
Not everyone at the luncheon
was a writer, however--for each
