Can you identify the original
"Soapy Sam?"-L. L. c., Wash

"Soapy Sam" was
Samuel Wilberforce, Bishop Of

Victorian era. He got his nick
name from his uctious manner
OF speaking. Once when he was
asked about the sobriquet, he
srnilingly assured his ulles-
toner that he was called
"Soapy Sam" because IT am

New Type Stars Invade the Film Capital
BY BETTY BEALE
Star stan Writer

LOS ANGELES, Calf,
July 9.-This sunny city Of
Aim fiction and fabulous fe-
males has been invaded by a
faction absolutely foreign to
1t.
Thousands of Americans
from across the country-in-
cluding some unglamorous
types-have moved in to
take part in a real life dra-
matte fight for power that
needs no assist from a Hol-
lywood producer nor shapely
actress.
What's more, they brought
their own stars, their own
supporting cast of characters,
their own props, their own
costumes, their own comedi-
ans, even their own claques.
It's enough to unnerve
any Hollywood director and
make the best press agent
hang himself with his own
purple typewriter ribbon.
Nothing either has ever
dreamed up could match this
combination Of zany circus
and deadly serious competi-
tion that will grip the world
for its audience.
TAKE THE BILTMORE
HOTEL this Sunday after
noon, for instance-or what's
left of it. If you ask me
there's no part of it that
hasn't already been taken.
The well-organized forces
Of Senator Jack Kennedy
have the big ballroom for a
l to 4 reception that will un-
doubtedly draw everybody,
possibly even some anti
Kennedy delegates and OBJ
servers, just to see how the
KennedyS do it.
At 2 o'clock. Senators
Lyndon johnson and Stuart
Symington and their wives
will begin their receptions in
the Renaissance and Galleria
Rooms respectively. They OBJ
viously feel that if Jack wants
an hours lead, that's all right
with them. With 1000 dele
gates and alternates, and
5000 press and VIPs there
are enough guests to go
around. Of course, if one of
the candidates should serve a
continuous lunch with Mari
lyn Monroe dispensing the
delicacies, the crowd might
never leave his bailiwick.
Unless packed in by pre-
arranged plan, the numbers
attending these receptions
seem to be a pretty good in
dicator of what's to come.
Back in 1852, Gen. Eisen-
hower'S reception way out
drew Senator Taft's: and in
1856 Adlai Stevenson's great
ly outnumbered Averell
Harriman's.
We shall see, but the mere
act Of seeing will convert the
party-covering feminine press
into something the cat might
have dragged in. AS If we

stocked with pretty young
things!

McEIvenny said that the COM

said executive secretary, Harold

"The first was because so many
customers of our eight stores
expressed the desire to buy with
in the workshops and see the
materials offered for sale before
they we're refurbished.
"The second reason was to
show the thousands Of people
who contribute their discards TO
Goodwill Industries exactly what
happens to them and how much
good they do in giving training,
rehabilitation and employment to
physically handicapped persons
of the area" said McKinnon.
Everyone who visits Goodwill
during this three.day sale is in.
sured Of an interesting and pro-
fitable trip. We are making sure
that there will be something for
every pocketbook. from rare
china and fine furniture to a
complete line of clothing for
those with limited incomes" he
concluded.
The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1960-02-13

Customers will be able to buy
from the floor in the workshops
while watching the methods used
by Goodwills handicapped en-
ployees in preparing discarded
materials for sale.
They will see expert cabinet
makers take parts from different
