gestlon that those who have been
unable to see Miss Norman at the
National are bound to run into
her at somebody's party. Visit
ing royalty has never created an
equivalent dither which may sug-
gest, indeed. that it might we'll
copy Miss Merman's breezy social
style.
From here on, however. this is
not going to be about Miss
Norman.
She was not at this party we
went to. being busy as guest of
honor at four or five others at the
time.
The party in question was that
given by Doris Fleeson and her
daughter, Doris O'Donnell. It was
in honor of Deborah Remsen who
plays Miss Merman's secretary in
Call Me Madam"
Miss Remsen is a lovely girl to
give a party in honor Of, which
Miss Fleeson and Doris did be-
cause the latter was a schoolmate
of Miss RemSen at VaSsar. On
stage opening night. Miss Remsen
was the girl whose face this patron
had selected as the most captivat-
ing in the company. It was pleas
ant to discover that stage light
ing and makeup had absolutely
nothing to do with this.
It reinforced an anarchial
notion that Vassar girls should be
reasonably independent of the
cosmetics industry.
Drama critics. frankly, are not
good at big parties; and maybe
not even at small ones.
Surrounded, as she properly was
by Miss Fleeson's and Doris other
guests. Miss Remsen looked even
more remote than she did on the
stage Of the National on opening
night. To get to her required
more social drive than this guest
was able to muster.
It was not until the tag end
Of the affair that he got in a
word with Miss Remsen. It wasn't t
much Of a word even then.
The talk somehow got on the
subject of criticism and Miss Rem
sen said she saw where Variety
had something about having a
layman write a review to appear
along with the professional critic S
Of any dramatic production.
"And naturally" it was suggested
by her companion. "laymen should
write pieces to go with the base
ball experts. the political re-
porters, the White House corre-
spondents. ETC."
Il think you've got something
there" Miss Remsen said with Just
the rueful infection to indicate
this idea was out so far as she
is concerned.
This was the full extent Of our
conversation with her. which Is
pretty sad society reporting il
there ever was such. There has
been.

More accessible, perhaps be.
cause Of the drift Of guests around
Miss Fleeson's congenial house
was Galina Talva. Miss Talva is
the blond girl who plays the
Lichtenburg Princess in Call Me
Madam" the one who ends up
1nferentially with Russell Nype.
She is pretty, too, and has ar
affecting accent.
There was an opportunity to
say more things to Miss Talva
Evening star., 1952-05-13

and to hear more things said by
her.
She is in love with Washington
she said. Most Of all she Is in love
with the Washington Monument,
second most with the smart,
generous and wonderful audiences
we have here. Unlike several others
in the Call Me Madam" company
Miss Talva is not going to leave
the production when it's four
weeks run ends here. She wants
to see the rest of America. If there
is a better way Of doing it then
touring in Madam" she never
heard of it.
Miss Talva is very young but
she waited for what seemed like
a long time for a role like this.
II had a job hand-painting ties
when this opportunity came" she
says. 1T was not bad job.
guess. I used to paint a great many
things. especially portraits"
"You mean there are people who
like to see their faces on their
ties?" her incredible listener said.
Lots Of them," Miss Talva said.
"And they posed for their por-
traits while you painted?"
Some" she said. But mostly
I worked from photographs. No.
never traced from these. worked
from them to the nearest likeness
I could get"
Some one came and took Miss
Talva away at this point. It was
a very nice party. nevertheless,
and it is too bad that someone
better qualified than a drama
critic was not sent to cover it.
At such an assignment, a critic
is a mere layman like the one
Miss Remsen. on second thought
would not like to read if he were
writing drama reviews.

LET'S HOLD THE TAX LINE AS
GOVERNOR ASPIRANTS PLEDGE TO DO

In Key Vests Primary campaign, well as the
campaigns elsewhere in Florida candidates generally de-
clared they favored holding the tax line remark
here and there about changes that could be made
in the tax structure to get money in taxes But why
get taxation from when the people of the
United States now are grooming under the tax load i'm
posed upon them by cities, counties. states and the ma
ton?
The thing that is needed now throughout the Union
is far more circumspecton spending the taxpayers

jor factor in keeping taxes high.
While it is true that taxes taxes regardless Of
their yet that should be explained when we
become critical of improvements that made with tax
money 1t true when it remarked during cam
paignng in Key West that the reconstruction repairing
of Roosevelt boulevard and parts of Truman and
Whitehead street paid for by the public anyhow.
What public? That statement wrong if it meant
the public of Monroe county, the public of Florida
the public of the entire nation The public that paid for
those improvements comprised the public of all the states
in the Union and many foreign countries Monroe coun
tvs share in that fund the amount the people of the
county paid in gasoline Citizens from neighborng

On just enc day, May 10, 1927. a
list of rs was compiled. That's good

The nice thing about the park,
from a bird watchers viewpoint,
is that birds seen there are all
on the move. They drop in at
night as at an oasis in br
wilderness, but find next day it is
no place to settle down. So they
move on promptly, and their pas
sage can thus be checked accu-
rately.
j. T. Nichols of the American
Museum, who has been watching
birds in the park since he was a
kid in the Nineties, doesn't think
the hunting as good as it used to
be. On the other hand Godfrey
Carleton. author of Birds of Cen
trail Park, calls it one of the
best bird watching places in Sc
miles.
It's good enough anyway TO at
tract every morning and every
lunch hour hundreds of amateur
and professionalism lobbyists,
all hoping for the big day when
they can hang up a stupendous
record of the number Of birds seen

expect to be.

DUBLIN, Ireland Up - An Irish
cop on his Dublin beat wears his
night stick as some other gentle
men would a cane. Not only is it
ornamental, but he'd also feel I'M
dressed without one.
In front of the Gresham Hotel
on busy O'Connell Street on a Sat
urday night a policeman stood. He
looked all of his six feet, ITS
pounds as he watched many of his
countrymen who had come to win
dow shop on Dublin's Main Street.
or to chat awhile with the gentle
folk who sometime pass the time
in the one or more public taverns.
He appeared to have a moment
to himself and so it came to pass
that the patrolman on his beat
heard himself asked the following
question:
How over, Mr.. officer, do you
find it necessary to use that night,
stick? On unruly ones, I mean"
Mr.. Officer thought and thought
again and then he ventured the
reply: Very seldom
Pursued as to the last time he
used the truncheon, the policeman
searched his memory and finally
recalled:
"Six, or it may have been eight
years ago."
The occasion was some sort Of
political demonstration. The people

They rarely have "skirmishes"

armed men stuck UP the Provin-

shot a cashier. The three were
captured and quickly got Ia. 10 and

average.

HOLLYWOOD
NOTES
Bv BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD III Ever W0ndef
what happened to those old movie
cliches? They're on television now
In recent years, Hollywood has
been kidded numerically about
using worn out lines of dialogue.
The result is that many screen
writer's now lean over backward
to avoid using phrases that sound
familiar. The point has been
reached that you seldom hear the
words II love you" on the screen.
But take a look at the old movies
on TV and you can see some OF
our old friends again. Here are
some of my favorites:
/. The hero is shaken by having
just seen someone from his past.
Heroine: Whats the mailer?
You look as though you've seen
a ghost.
Hero, grimly: 81 have"
2. The heroine's father has just

to thwart the bank robbers. Look

His hand falls lifeless and the hero
covers his head with a sheet. He
goes outside to Nellie.
Nellie: Is he 49, is he"
The hero mods sadly and she
melts in his arms.
3. The hero aims to clean up

saloon. The latter snarls: This
town isn't big enough for both OF
US. One of us will have to get
out. And it's not going to be me. "
4. The leading lady in the show

the stage manager Is frantic. He
