Show S 'S MISJUDGING l NEW YORK YORKI IT I IS beginning to look very much as if the nation at large had done the people of York a grave injustice New York is popularly supposed to be a hard-boiled hard city Broadway is supposed to tobe tobe tobe be a street where your best friend will put a knife in your back as soon as he gets a chance The big town in short is looked upon as one of those places where the milk of human kindness has gone a wee mite sour But behold How we have been misjudging ing the place Here we have the mayor of New York the overworked and harassed Jimmy Walker Mayor Walker filling one of the most arduous arduous arduous ous of jobs seems to have found the world filled with devoted and thoughtful friends all eager to do what they might to make his path a little smoother One friend cuts him in on a trading stock-trading account Mayor I Walker Valker puts up no money of his own but he takes out in the end Could there be a finer testimonial to the value of sincere friendship Nor does that Incident stand alone A friend meets him at a banquet in Atlantic City and suggests his participation in an oil stock pool Mayor Jimmy thinks no more about it later he finds that his friend put him in anyway and made for him Then there was another friend who made madea a similar sort of investment for him netting him and there was a conversation with some kindly soul on a train which also resulted in a profit nor may we overlook overlook overlook over over- look the friend who bought a letter of credit so that the mayor could take a I trip to Europe All of this is Immensely heartening Friendship after all is the most precious thing on earth |
