Wonder who fixed the clock on
top of the courthouse. Got quite
startled yesterday. Driving up
Greene st. I heard it chime once.
Now / knew it was already five
after the hour Of one because l
had just seen it at Western Union.
"Hmmmmm" thought. Late

cular idol. It's my personal and
private belief shared by many

her that will probably keep her
there Ill she's toitering Off in q

no jewels or fine rsyment there
One evening, another star, es-
eorted by three press agents and
her husband, came into the can

and wanted to be photographed
washing dishes. She even Dor
rowed Marlene's apron, pushed
Mariene aside. took of her long
gloves and dvnked her hands
into the sink so that the
photographer could get his shot
Marlene stood watching. hands on
hips. When the fash halhs

and let the star have il right in
