The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-09-11

ASAtyt AAG Wuo BVN1eAAH " V AA0tyA 0tAa on the afternoon Of his arrival delegatlon og TeRans rode Into the lobby Of the hostelry on cattle ponies creating Q bit of Q dlther among tho paying guests, ft was quite Q stunt, But Q couple og hours afterwards when 1 tolephoned the hotel and asked for the goVernor'e suite the telephone operator repeat. cd after mo the governors names "Allerd" said she, Governor Allefd. Whats the first name please"
 Which brings me Co Q long dlss patch received Q couple Of days from UPS Broadway columnlst Jack ca. yer, which tells about the appear. anoe In the Waldorf Astoria of Q COW and Q calf. "In these days os hotel room scarcity" QaVer wrote, "rhls COW and calf had the enorms ous jade room all Go themselves, Also they had specially made lounglng quarters with thick cArA pets of shRVlngs on the floor, The COW was in 0 white picket fence ens closure and the call had Q pink end white baby pen with Q built in abacus, There have been noted and wealthy guests who have patronlsed the waldorf for years and none Of them has been able to coax the management into giving them such accommodations"
 The whole thing, was c present aRAak st,tVAA Ca adS,aNAtRa a pAaiA program, and more especially the sponsor of the show, and to that end the star Of the show was i1. Velgled Into sitting down by the COW, his arms around her neck reading her fairy story, It must have been Q very edifylng sight and one calculated to delight the hearts of patrons of tho Waldorf Astoria as well aS of service men who often cannot find accommoda- tons for themselves when on leave in New York. Personally this col. umn finds it q little disgusting, and 90 I'm refraining from mentioning the name of the star, or the Show oE the sponsor.
 And because l have tho same feeling about another press agent stunt, details Of which reached here some days ago, but which this eol- umn ignored, l shall not name the emcee, the sponsor of Che radio pros gram nor the program itself which the stunt seeks to advertise, There Is no sense in publlcIEing what at best can only Do designated as ex- ecrRble taste. Sufiice it to say that according to published notice, warworkers and service men were invited to be married in order to bt guests on a Honeymoon" cruise, or Q specially chartered Hudson river boat from midnight Saturday until Sunday morning, with all kinds oi free entertainment on the side. A line in the story which assured readers the invitation was not q "gag" was: Couples not wed befort the broadcast time (the evening ol the trip) can be married in theil own faith before sailing time." Matrimony has been subjected G degradations in the past, but thii strikes this column as Q new low.
 In the same vein was the "'JazI wedding" sponsored by Q Broadway dancehall some years ago. But ir that case there was only one couple involved, and the sponsors of the Idea were not sponsors Of a nation kfa., AonmAamak aAta uhnup WyiAtaf puts them at least one up.
