Sometimes a Publicity Man
Must Feel So Frustrated

sages to himself on it and wouldn't
let us have it right away. Then 1t
got in his pile of handouts. He
uses the same filing system. The
story of the Mary Kaaihue Trio
worked its way down to the lower
half of the pile. We never saw 1t
again.
The last thing in the world we
would want to do would be to dis
turb anyone's complacency. We
sometimes suspect, though, that
James Thurber is right and that
really Is Doom breathing down the
back OF your neck. The other night
we asked Tana, who examines the
vibrations of the Madrillon's GUS
toners, what she thought now about
those flying saucers. We are happy
to report that she is not being taken
in by any foolishness about hysteria
or white corpuscles in the eyebal]s.
"I still think they were visitationS
from another world" Tana said
darkly. "All those people saw them
and then the Army-the United
States Government-couldn't find
out anything about them. They're
from another world"
Remember, when the Things come
down out of the night, what Tana
said.

the Roger Smith Hotel next Monday
night. The Cafe Caprice hasn't
been colsed, of course, but next
Monday is the night when Rodolfo
Cornejo, the noted Philippine con-
cert pianist. arrives to undertake the
entertainment The change In
the Cafe Caprice entertainment
policy is something Manager A. B.
Merrick has been mulling for some
time. It Is, incidentally, the only
reason that Ell Patio was lucky
enough to get the Sammy Seymour
Trio, which opened there this week.
Mr.. Merrick liked the Seymour
music, too, but wanted something in
a more classical vein Dona
Mason, showing the effects of the
California sun, is back at the King
Cole Room, pretty as ever and sing

full of its former singers the other
night, Doris Taylor, June Sothern
and Jody Miller turning up at the
same time. All In good voice, too, 1t

been there, because couldn't stand the sight
of lot of glassy-eyed strangers with too
much money in what used to be our living
ROOM Hendy had been there, though. Joe put
in quickly. II didn't take her there, Bear
and laughed self-consciously.
Also, Hendy knew about the clam pie at
Billy the Oysterman's the chicken caceiatora
at Leone's, the snkiyaki at Miyako's, and the
Irish stew at Cavanagh's. She'd had cocktails
at the Waldorf, and danced on the St. Regis
roof. Shed visited the museums and seen the
hit plays. She loved New York "And I'm
not like most Westerners." she said disarm-
ingly. Il really want to lire here. l want to
settle down here for the rest of my life."
1t was plain enough that Joe was fixing to
arrange it. Let me tell you about Joe:
He never quite grew up and even now he
looks slightly like an overweight, sixth-grade
boy on his way to the circus. He's incurably
romantic - not just about women, but life
in general. He doesn't worry quite enough
for a man, and he'll always need somebody
Joe was the kind of husband who'd bring
der next day whether he was going to be
able to scrape up the rent. Yet I wouldn't
call him improvident, because he would scrape
it up He always had job - advertising -
and good one. don't suppose Joe will ever
set the world on fire, but he can give the part
where he is little glow. He has bottomless
pit days, and days when he's on pink clouds.
There doesn't seem to be anything in between.
All this might suggest why Joe and split
up. But none of the things I've mentioned
were the real reasons It's little difficult
to explain, at this late date. why wanted
divorce Maybe should never have found
out that had knack for writing radio
serials. Maybe shouldn't have got mixed
up in all that mad magic around Rockefeller
Center - story conferences rehearsals, three
hour lunches with sponsors having dinner in
Evening star., 1947-11-02

with love for all mankind, including the fe-
male of the species. As might be expected,
fell down here and there during the evening.
l could see it in Hendys young eyes.
The truth is that Hendy threw me off the
minute she walked in the door 1t wasn't her
fault. don't know what I'd expected, but
not anyone so young and fresh. should have,
of course. knew that man marrying the
second time is likely to choose someone
younger than his first wife But somehow
wasn't prepared for it. suppose the truth is,
it had not occurred to me Joe would marry
again.
f1ENDY WILLIAMS was on the sunny side of
thirty. At least fifteen years younger than Joe.
That seems awfully young when you have
passed the thirties yourself, even if. you
haven't passed them very far She didn't try
to look younger than she was - she just did.
Evening star., 1947-11-02

Il will if she shows any sign of weakness.
But not unless. Anyhow, don't believe she'll
phone"
II don't see why not" " Joe is like that when
he gets an idea.
"Joe," asked, why did Hendy leave?'
Il don't know. really don't"
"You haven't been drinking too much?"
NO"
'You haven't been straying?"
'Beatrice!' Joe was hurt "You know l
don't 60 in for that sort of business"
II know you didn't But, after all, you
approach the dangerous age now"
We went over some other possibilities
Hendy was not in love with someone else
Joe hadn't lost his job; there had been no
money troubles; just barely enough to pay
the bills, situation normal for these days.
Neither was upset because there were no
children yet. They had no political differences
- that is, Hendy still had been willing to
vote the way Joe told her. There'd been quar-
rels, he admitted, but none seemed serious
to him.
l couldn't think of anything else. Then
Joe did. 1t came over the wire and hit me right
in the ear. And she never said anything
about wanting useful career, or to be some
thing else than just housewife or steady
date
"Oh," said weakly. Then: Pm awfully
sorry, Joe III do what can if she gives me
the chance"
didn't think she would couldn't imagine
a second wife hurrying to admit to first
wife that she hadn't been able to make it
work, either. 1t was possible a second wife
might seek the first for sympathy; or for the
comfort of bit of dialogue scalding the two
time loser. But these possibilities seemed
faint where Hendy was concerned. Despite
certain naivete, Hendy had appeared to me
to be rather self-contained
REMEMBERED well the night Joe had
brought Hendy Williams around to meet me-
Though he'd given me fair warning, it was
little nerve-racking, for could have repeated
word for word the build-up he must have
given me: You'll like Bea She's really the
salt of the earth. Smart as a whip. And
damned good locker, too." He'd have told
her this; he'd have had just that much judg-
ment, my old chivalrous Joe. And he'd be
sure to add: 'She won't resent you Bit
Hendy. She's got heart as big as all out
DOORS"
You can understand the strain of role
like that When Hendy walked in, all wide
eyed to see this paragon and erstwhile rival,
all had to do was display charm, integrity,
intelligence, beauty and bosom bursting
