which change the balance of power

HOLLYWOOD-A visiting rabbi
delivered speech at a banquet
en- the night of his arrival in Holly
wood recently. Because he wanted
to repeat some of his stories at
meetings the next day with motion
picture executives, he requested
reporters to omit them from their
accounts of his speech. A young
reporter, commenting on the
speech, finished with the line "And
he told a number of stories that
cannot be published"
At a party in Hollywood, Jack
Benny's wife, Mary, said good
bye to the British consul, then
shook many other hands, and
finally found herself shaking his
hand again. "But you've already
said goodbye to me once" he
demonstrated.
ooh, yes" Mary replied, "but
it's always a pleasure to say
goodbye to yOu."
Called upon to address the guests
at a dinner, Eddie Cantor began:
"You have been giving your atten-
ton to turkey stuffed with sage;
you are now about to consider a
sage stuffed with turkey!"
According to Judy Holiday,
Hollywood doctors overdue bills

Paulette Goddard saw the first

complained that they didn't suit
her. The cameraman had also
photographed her in Cecil B. De-
Miles picture Reap the Wild
Wind" one of Paulette's favorites;
so they went to a projection room
and had "Reap the Wild Wind"
shown. When it was over, Paulette
said, "I looked gorgeous in that
picture. Why can't we get the same
results in this one?"
! "Well, you see, Miss Goddard,
