Show ' 1 (tut iTl 01 Talk about different angles: Julie Haydon, the actress, is doing a book, which she illustrates as well. It'i about her dog. The theme: One day In its life . . . She studied its every move and emotion for a day and night. The title: "Every Dog Has Its Day" . . . The recent tribute to Eddie Cantor (by over 1,500 admirers) ad-mirers) was the first sincere testimonial testi-monial in a long spell on Broadway ... It commemorated his 35th ann'y In show business. Flowers to the living . . . Joan Crawford and her husband, P. Terry, are doing a Hayworth - Welles. Wearing suits made from the same material. Biglown Vignette: On the George Washington bridge, the other Sunday afternoon, flocks of young girls in their colorful summer dresses were decorating the scene . . . Far below was a grey war-like freighter at anchor . . . The sailors on guard by the stern gun were like little toys. They were waving to the girls . . . They shouted and called back and forth but no one could hear what they were saying . . . The wind was blowing and the distance was too much . . . Then a sailor came on deck ... He had a trumpet . . . And pointing to the distant span he played some beautiful horn music ... He must have been a professional profes-sional in civilian life . . . One of his renditions was: "Come to Me, My Melancholy Baby" ... He looked like a little toy on the deck of the ship . . . His trumpet looked like a toy, too . . . His music came up through the air, thin and clear, like music from a toy horn . . . And down the Hudson you could see the bay and the open sea . . . Where the freighter would sail soon for the fighting . . . The trumpeter really "sent" the girls . . . There j sure was a lot of youthful yearning on the breeze. We Hadn't Heard It Before: About the fat whale and the skinny whale. The fat whale said: "My goodness, you're thin! What's wrong with you?" Replied the skinny whale: "I've been having bad luck, been in bad waters and no food." "Tell you what," said the fat whale, "why not swim to the English Eng-lish channel? The Allies are exploding ex-ploding a lot of Nazis into the air there." So the skinny whale swam and swam, and six weeks later, skinnier than ever, swam back to his fat friend. "Well," puffed Fatso, "why didn't you do as I told you?" "I did," said the skinny whale, "but when those Nazis came down into the water they all had marks oh their chests saying they were supermen and I just couldn't swallow swal-low that baloney!" Hitler was never either a house-painter house-painter or a paper-hanger. (He was a very poor artist who at one time used to put his paintings in an oven to "antique" them.) ... He has had. a longer life than Napoleon (52) and Alexander the Great (32), but Caesar died at 56 and Genghis Khan at 65 . . . Although Adolf's father was named Schicklgruber, der rat who became der fuehrer was never called that . . . Hitler's father was a ne'er-do-well, who died in the belief his son was a zero . . . The old man wed three times. At 27 he married a woman 41; at 48 he married a girl 25 ... At the end of World War I Adolf trimmed his von Hindenburg-type mustache to the ridiculous lip-patch he wears today. Himmler is the only one to get away with imitating der fuehrer's mustache, and even that is an unreasonable un-reasonable whacksimile . . . Robert Ley, creator of the German labor front, quaffs a pint of brandy before breakfast . . . Fritz von Papen became be-came military attache to Washington Washing-ton on the strength of his wife's money. He twice failed the entrance exams to the War academy, yet he wore the insignia of the General Staff . . . Von Ribbentrop got rid of Koerster and von Hoesch (German ambassadors to France and England Eng-land respectively) with shots in the arm which produced air embolus. Goebbels attended six universities universi-ties and entered Heidelberg on the strength of a scholarship from a Jewish professor named Gundolf . . . When Hitler spent his early days in a Viennese flophouse, the only man who befriended and helped him was a Jew named Neumann . . . Nazi street fighting tactics originated at the world premiere of "All Quiet on the Western Front," the most paci-fistic paci-fistic of all German pictures. The Hitler gang objected to Remarque's theories. Goering dotes on caviar, regardless regard-less of his aversion to other things Russian (such as the Red army), and gobbles it by the spoonful . . . Mussolini never liked him because his outthrust chin and affected swagger swag-ger were too much like Finito's . . . When he has time for it, Goering goes hunting on his estate for ani- ; mals that are delivered to his home regularly . . . Speaking of animals: His Brownshirt gorillas, in the early days, wore rings which held two sharp blades conveniently released I by a spring. I |
