The Wilmington morning star., 1946-09-11

TAFT Grill, and cocktails with Bill
ly Campbell. While dancing at the
Copacobana, Debbie trod on the
foot of a male near her, and ina
CINE her surprise when she look
ed in to his face and recognized
the famed Eddie Bracken. Debbie
took in lots of shows while there,
and saw many famous personages.
But Debie is a typical girl in that
shopping attracted her, and she
spent at lot of time and money
on purchases for herself and her
friends. In a rush to board the
homeward bound train, she failed
to put tie bundle Of purchases IN
the cab until the last minute, and
had to put them beside the driver.
The cabbie, needless to say not
overlooking with honesty, drove
way from the station with the
packages, and Debbie vas left
holding the bag. But she made a
trip to Georgia before returning
home and was able to replace
some of the stolen articles.
The 10Th is the deadline for most
of the girls who are left and who
plan to attend college. Saw CORN
ne Wilkerson the other day come
running out of her house, list in
hand, and make a dash for the
car. l asked her where she was
going, and she said downtown to
do some more school shopping.
Corinne will leave this weekend
to enter school in Chattanooga,
Tenn. Kathyrn Kester and Par
melia Wheatley will leave next
Tuesday for w. C. In Sunday
column I said that Pat HardWick
would attend w. c., but it's G. c.
for her and Shirley Brown. They
leave the first of next week, too.
On Tuesday Lily Grower and Jane
Sprunt will board a New York
train, destination Edgewood Park,
their home for the coming school
year. Leaving with them will be
Catherine Becker, but she will GO
on to New Jersey where she will
enter Georgian Court college. II
you've missed John King around
town, it's because he is a member
Of the student body at Hampsden
Sidney college at Hampsden Sid
ney, Va. But don't worry about
him finding Life tough, cause from
his address he'll be having things
pretty easy. You see, he lives in
Gushing Hall.
Not very long ago I saw a short
produced and narrated by the late
Robert Benchley on the different
types of people who can really
ruin a movie for you. He included
candy-crunchers, paper-rustlers,
and Observation-Disclosures
pushers. But he failed to mention
the young girl who thinks the
heroine should fall in love with
the minor male lead because he
is far more handsome and desire
able than the hero. And she keeps
voicing her opinion loudly to her
escort. It's all right to lean over
and whisper occasionally into the
ear Of your date, but to below
forth during every scene as if
you were an apprentice to a
tobacco auctioneer is unforgivable.
Then she comments on the beauty
of the heorine's clothes right in
the middle Of the scene where the
explanation Of the theme or plol
takes place and Of course she
misses the key dialogue Of the
entire show. What did he say?"
she shrieks to her escort during
the following love scene which
should be witnessed in romantic
silence. what did he say he had
become-a drunk addict" In sheer
desperation someone turns around
and says, He said he had become
a drug addict. and for goodness
sakes keep quiet or 1 shall join
him." At last the show is over,
and thoroughly disguised you rise
to leave. The girl still question
ing her companion as to why he
had become a drug addict, leaves
the theater. Of course, she doesn't
are for her, and needless to say,
know that all those hard looks
she'll be back for the next movie,
and may sit behind you. You know,
if they rented guns in theater lob
bies instead of selling popcorn and
candies they would do a lot more
business.
Well, I'll stop for new. Until the
