One of the ideas of the Wash
ington Board of Trades annual
midwinter dinner last night (the
first of two sessions) was that
Oaky Doaks was to stab the
dragon and then rescue the fair
maiden.
The plot at the Mayflower Hotel
function called for the maiden
then to fall from the window of
her cardboard castle into the arms
of the valiant knight who is fea-
tured in The Stars daily comic
strip.
But things didn't materialize in
true romantic form. The dragon,
maybe because of mechanical
trouble, wasn't waggling his head
menacingly. The maiden didn't
fall. And Oaky Gmpersonated by
Yates Goldsborough) never really
paid much attention to her any
way, because true-life beauties of
the chorus (who later enter
tained9 were wandering around.
Also, the maiden wasn't maiden,
but Frank Harden, a member of
the trade group.
Merlin Lights Up.
Even Merlin, the black -robed
magician of the popular comic
strip (played by Harvey Glascock)
couldn't produce the hoped-for
result. At last reports he was
seen running around with an elec-
trio bulb in his mouth, which lit
up just about every time he
breathed. He extracted it occa-
Isionally to chat with other comic
strip characters who frequented
the rear half of the lobby, which
had been reserved for the trade
groups annual midwinter din
ner, flrst-night session.
The 1000 board members who
attended the dinner. which will be
repeated tonight, because all
members couldn't be accommo-
dated, last saw Merlin engaged in
conversation with Moon Mullins,
or somebody who looked like him.
The whole idea really was a
Board of Trade tribute to news
paper leadership of comics.
Anyway. as members entered
the comic confines through an
archway portraying Americas ia
vorite funny strips, they encoun-
tered a world of nightmarish
laughing and other unworldly
sounds.
The noise and screeching occa-
sionally was interrupted by such
inevitable comic-world utterances
like "plop." 'zowie," bang. +"
smack" BAN" and "clunk -
These generally are associated
with the demise of comic char
acters.
