actors are used for many things
besides standing in front of d
camera so something will show
when the film is projected on a
screen.
In fact, that sometimes seems
to be a secondary usage.
Not long ago an actor was used
as brickbat and thrown through

was another occasion when 2

wife over the head.
And SO it goes. Actors are Coz

By Georgia Russell

Yes, here 1 am again, bringing
you the latest happenings of the
week. But first I'm going to tell
you a little gos- sip. "T's whis
pered, that a wellk nown young
couple of theTwin Cities, have
split up, D. C. andC. A., to be ex'

sweet little chick (name withheld
by request) has finally made Don
Russell "straighten up and fly
right" If I don't get killed for this,
I'll tell you more about it next week.
Twas very nice little gathering at
the Shin-dig last Sat. night. The
floor show was groovey (although
quite long) and the band was too
fine. Some of the many there were:
Dorothy Munson, Carolyn Combs,
Mary Brown, Edna Frankly, Pauline
Ray, Jane House, Maxine Worth
ington, Shirley Terrell, Joslyn Jones,
Duanita Calendar, Phyllis Mayes,
Jean Cannon, Edith Price, Theresa
Bailey, Janet Armstrong, Leona

Boyd Crawford, Harold Ripper
Milton Combs, Clyde Williams, and
oh, so many more.
Also there was some very nice
soon grooming by none other than

were clutching madly at the table
tops, fainting in frenzied anxiety
and the men were frowning in en-
vious masculinity. Bet you can't
guess who the singer was. The
master of ceremonies was none
other than Oscar Brown, the play
boy of Mpls. who put the girls in
the mood to be wooed, by his rendi-
ton of Caledonia" Mighty fine!
Hardy Whites singing was quite
good, but he has nothing on his
sister, who gave forth with a song
that was really fine. Gilda and
Jean Locas have been visiting their
cousin, Willie Brown, 1872 Central,
for the past few weeks. Seems as

In K. C. every Sunday there is a
big dance. Last week we went to
see Billy Eckstine, this week Duke
Ellington, and next week the Delta
Rhythm Boys. The dances are held
at the municipal auditorium and it
is the finest place I have ever been
in. There were more people at that
dance than there are in Twin Cities.
Jacks down here really dress, even
the girls wear their Grapes.
On the 18th Street, there's every
thing from a church to beer parlors,
and after IL the streets are really
packed and cats and jills jump all
the different jumps. 1 asked AL
bert how he liked K. C. and what
he thought of the chicks? His
answer was: "Your money flows
like wine and the chicks down here
are mine, all mine" He said, "the
chicks down here are cool in the
summer, warm in the fall, hot in
the winter and, brother, that amt
ALL"
If you don't like to walk by your
self at night in the dark, don't come
down here because if you are at all
afraid of funny noises, or afraid
of people who look like killers,
please stay at home. Many say that
the Negro in the North is standing
on tissue paper and after the war
he will fall through. Little do
they know that the Northern white
people do not have as much
prejudice as some of the whites in
the South. }.
Getting on to something brighter,
I will describe one of K. C.'s "well-
dressed" cats. First he wears a
sharp gabardine drape suit, about
IS inches in the bottom and 80
inches in the knee. Coat has
extra padding in the shoulders and
very, very long. .. Wears sharp
felt hat or straw in a square block
With a pair of tinted green
glasses and a pair of sandals on his
feet. =. So in case you want to be
strictly K. C. follow that cat!
Well, hepsters, I guess I will
close hoping you are having as
much fun as 1.

65-Yeur-Olds Advised
To Ascertain Stutus
from Sociul Security

The inclusion of domestic work
ers, farm workers and the self
employed under Social Security has
been recommended by the Social
Security Board, it was revealed this
week by E. M. Zwickel, manager
of the Minneapolis office.
A note of caution was sounded
by Zwickel when he said that So
cial security claimants should bear
in mind the fact that payments are
not automatically made upon the
death of a worker, or when he
reaches the age of 65, or when he
quits work.
Should Ascertain Status
workers reaching the age of
IS should write or visit our office
to ascertain the status of their &C
count, and widows and children of
deceased workers covered by the
law should do the same," he said.
More than 1000 retired workers
and their wives are now receiving
approximately $1,000 every month
in Hennepin County, and 1924
widows and children of deceased
workers are getting $4,000 every
month from the Federal old-age
and survivors insurance program.
