WAVELETS T s
By ED LEAMY

When Milton Berie of the WATR, Blue Network Let Yourself Oo' show was younger, and beginning to mako a name for himself on the Broadway stage, it was the custom uE many other comedians to accuse him Of pilferlng his jokes. Which always aInacked to me a bit of the pot calling the kettle black. For it has long been c custom for joke- emilhs--from the days of Jo Miller, and he doubtless did the same-to COD whenever feasible. a slice of another mans humor. Nor has the practice been confined to the fields of humor alone.
 Take almost aFD of the popular sayings attributed to many of the great writers, and you will find ie you take the trouble to refer to Bartletts Dictionary Of Familiar Cuotatlons--that phrases attributed to one man or woman. can very often be traced to somebody else. Take George sand.
 Tn Fridays column I mentioned the fact that at an early age she was able to write, and she grew up Co be one of the worlds famous noveilsss. Her real name was Mad. anne Dudevant, and as history has it she vas quite a gal. But to the present day public she Is best known as the author of the lines: The more I see of men, the more ad- mire dogs"
 Now, I for one never doubted that these lines were hers without doubt: but a little burrowing here and there informs me that they are also attributed to Nadine de Sevigne to Louis de La Rance. better known as 'Oulda," and to Madame Roland (Jeanne Manon) who was the wife of a French Reyolutionist. and was guillotined in i793.
 Now, 1t makes little difference to me, or for that matter to you, l suppose, whether George Sand is the author of the phrase, or some body else. But if she is the author. there Is a slightly amusing thought in connection with her coining such a statement. Fo as l have said, she was quite gal

 The romance paled after while, and then she took up with Alfred de Musset, fled with him to some idyllie spot, and wrote books to provide living for them both, De Musset fell i'll, She called in a doctor named Pagello, and then de- elding she was all through with De Musset, she eloped with Pagell0,
 WeaTying of the young doctor, her next sweetheart, was Chopin or List2. Firing of whichever one Eas the first Of these, she took up with the other, And some time af- ter this she is supposed to have written the immortal lines about nen and dogs, But that was just low George. Sand felt about the Eogld, And until the other day ] never knew how, at least, one Of he men she relererd to felt about Gorge Sand, Here Is what Franz Liszt had to say, To friend he 0nee wrote "GeoFge Sand catches her butterfly and james it in her cage by feeding 1t on flowers and neotaF-this is the love period Then she sticks her pin into 1t when t struggles - that is the eOnge, and lt always comes from her, Alter wards she yiYisects it, stuffs t, and adds t t0 her collection Of heroes foE novels"
 'Sphe more ] see Of men" wrote George Sand ,,, Well, she would seem to have bene anallflde to make the decision,
 And now while I'm on the subject Of women authors I'd like to give F0u something about Fannie Hurst Eh0 Is heard Saturdays at 70 2, m, sVeF WATR and the Blue, ln her ieFlas Fannie Hurst Presents" But Inlike the information about George sand which ! had to dig up f0r my, self, this came ta me nicely mimao- eraphea all ready to usel
 She vas born ln Hamilton, Ohio, and just like thousands Of other middle western girls she wanted to gFIte, The difference was, how. ever, that she had two positive quail nestl0ns and one drawback, On the positive side, she had the ability and the determination, The drawback kept tugglHg at her in the persons Of her prosperous d0tlng parents, Wh0 hated to see her suffer ln her early literary attempts and were aly Wayk reminding her that she was not dependent upon thelF success for her bread and butter,

 When success finally came, with a bang that has continued over the years, Miss Hurst almost overnight found herself internationally known as a literary figure. Her work has been translated into fourteen Ian. guages: a new Hurst novel Is always awaited by an immense public.
 Miss Hurst has not been content, however, with settling down to the life of 6 successful writer: she has interested herself in variety of public works. In iD36-37. she served as chairman of the Woman's Ma. tional Housing Commission and in i9s0-li she was a member of the National Advisory committee of the Works Project Administration. Cur. rently she is a member of the speak CTS bureau Of the OfIice of Civilian Defense; a director of the Com mittee on Workmens Compensation for Household Employees. and member of the board of trustees Of the Heckscher Foundation.

every kind of act including the ami
NAL. Beyond that there is also the
terrific demand for entertainers
represented by Army. Navy and
Marine stations in this country and
abroad, plus an even greater one
represented by night clubs and other
places where newly rich and jaded
civilians gather.
= The growth of the night club in
all parts Of the country has been the
most sturdy challenge to the old,
easy going job Of piecing out a
vaudeville program. Once but a
relative handful of the dine, drink
and dance establishments could af-
ford to compete for the available
top talent in this branch of enter
tainment. Now there are hundreds,
not merely in the metropolitan
areas, but in boom towns all the way
from Cape Cod to the lower tip of
California.
Acts are enormously more expen-
sive, an inevitable result of the law
of supply and demand, but the once
most modest operators Of food and
fun shops can meet the new scale
of prices without a change in
expression.
Scores of illustrations are at the
tips of the tongues of both Mr..
Ford and Mr.. Anger. They can,
and do, for instance. cite you the
case of a popular girl singer cut
adrift by the enlistment in the Navy
of her name e-band boss. With the
band, the girl was satisfied with $3.50
a week, but the last time she sang
in Washington the rate was $1,750
Then there are those three come
dians, all draftproof by virtue of
physical flaws, who have played
Washington time and again in re-
cent years. AS a team in prewar
days, they gathered $400 for weeks
work and were very pleased to have
that much. Today, they get $500,
or more, and the demand for them
is so great that it probably will be
still higher.
ut is matter of book them and
pray that nothing will happen, and
so many things can, and do. hap
pen, Mr.. Anger says. ..'
Take, for an illustration, the ex-
perience We had just recently with
a dog act. 1t was on the Pacific
Coast, but we were in a spot, so
we booked it in spite of the long
jump. Well, just when everything
looked set, we discovered that it
was all right for the humans in the
act to come here by plane-the only
way it could be done on schedule
but the dogs would have to come by
railway express. Since the dogs,
not the humans, were the act, you
can see where we were"
One result of the situation in
which production managers find
themselves these days is not unlike
that encountered in the grocery
store or restaurant. namely, the
menu changes are much more in
frequent. The creative producer

year, once If . way around that
could be found. Now, acts are back
in as brief time as three weeks or
a month. and no one ever has de-
veloped sufncient ingenuity to make
a vaudeville turn look new after so
short an interval.
The situation Is not helped in
the slightest by the traditional SEN
tinental attachment vaudeville per-
formers have for material that has
got them a laugh or touch of ap-
plauSe. With so many more places
to play than ever before, they can
lug an old routine to new audi
ence with lot more ease and less
expense than they can develop a
new routine for an old audience.
Washington's two outstanding
production managers. however are
not pessimistic. The situation
could be a lot worse, they agree.
And might well be.
Speaking of night clubs and star
performers, Georges OF the Jalna
has in mind a very fine project.
That would be to bring the Hart
mans, Paul and Grace, here to es-
tablish the Jalna that much more
definitely as the Stork Club Of
Washington. The Hartmans, whose
dancing always has been the great
enthusiasm of the Georges and
Jalna team, have never worked a
