Show t THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE SUNDAY MORNING JUNE 14 1838 So Town wish Mark 'T'HIS ladies and gentlemen ia a typical scene at one of those college regattas A we read so much about these days Along the top is a section of one of those very peculiar boat trains while down in artist Sam Berman’s conception of a river are the two crews that will soon collapse from exhaustion for the sake of their alma maters The two boys with the megaphones are coxswains at the moment but they really nurse secret ambitions Both of them are practising to be crooners on the Hudson River Day 'Line I On the train over at the extreme left are Johnny Weissmuller and Helen Jacobs Miss Jacobs seems happy enough but Johnny’s smile is of the slightly superior variety The reason very possibly is that he can swim faster than both crews can row Next in line are the two drunks who are always found Guys Gals Giggles and Groans DAFFY TALE weekly nut story is OUR good today so we give it this spot on the page Hope you don’t mind A guard in an insane asylum was passing through a room when he stopped abruptly He gazed at a screwball who was pounding furiously at a typewriter “ Say buddy” inquired the " what are keeper you doing with that machine?” The nut looked up " I’m writing a story” he replied "It’s a magnificent story It’s the best story anybody ever wrote” “That’s nice” said the keeper “ I’d like to see such a story Mind if I have a look at it?” “ Not at all” returned the nut affably "Here you are Read it and see for yourself” The guard accepted the five sheets of typewritten paper and began to read aloud “ ‘The man sat on a horse’ ” he read " ‘Giddyap giddyap giddyap giddyap giddyap giddyap giddyap—’” The keeper’s voice trailed off as he quickly glanced through the rest of the sheets Then he stared at the nut “Say” he cried “what kind of a story is this anyhow? It starts off with ‘the man sat on a horse’— and then you have five pages with nothing on them but the word ‘giddyap’!” The nut shrugged “ That’s right” he said "Can I help it if the horse won’t move?” FAIR ENOUGH judge reports Deane Janis was sentencing THEmurderer to the electric chair He shook his man condemned the at finger “And so I say” he droned “that you are the lowest of the low Not only did you kill the man but you tortured him terribly before putting him out of his misery “And for what? For what purpose? All you got from your victim was a paltry dollar and some change” The prisoner looked up “Well judge” he murmured philosophically "you know how it is A buck here and a buck there!” THE REAL CRIME was complaining LAPIDUSacquaintance toa friend about a “I dun’t know vot to do abott Goldfarb” he lamented “He’s owink me ten dollars for six montts and he- -” j “And he von’t pay?” interrupted the other man “Vorse den dot” moaned Lapidus “He von’t even vorry abott it!” OUCII! "ugh”! STEW STUFF was two o’clock in the morning The stew a axi and stumbled in "Drive me home” he instructed "Sure” agreed the driver “ But where do you r” the next sectioh are Vincent Astor and Claadette Colbert while at Vincent’s two sophisticated humans who seem very bored by it all They seem to be terribly terribly social and everybody has beer wondering who they are We can’t keep the secret any longer The boy is the soda clerk in the local drug store and the girl is the other sales lady in the local At the extreme right scowling fiercely is Ali Baba Mr Baba is the new wrestling champion of the world— for the next few days The reason for Mr Baba’s scowl is that he’s sure the race is crooked To him the only game that’s on the level is wrestling And that’s about all for today— except to tell you about the three girls who are seated in front of Ali Baba Those three are recent debutantes and you’ll find their pictures in any society section Each deb has a boy friend in the crew but they are not enjoying this particular race at all Seems as though unknown to one another they each visited a wholesale hat M H shop— and each one picked out the same hatl left are nl w A Hellinger Short Story The Alibi SHE was a thin woman with blonde hair Her eyes around the room in a frightened manner This woman was a gangster’s sweetie but she hardly lived up to the public’s conception of “Yeah Sure” The woman's voice was calm now but it was obvious that she was lying “That’s just how it was” “Joe Bircho” mused the stout man “was killed some time around two o’clock” “I know it” Tessie smiled “And that’s just why I say Mike never done it see ? He was there in my apart- such ladies She wore no costly jewels or furs There wasn’t so much as a plain ring on the hands that she clutched tightly together and her clothes were very definitely of the bargain basement variety Three men sat with her in the room And the stout d man at the desk began to question her “Your name?” “Tessie Martin Theresa I was christened” “Where do you live ?” ( She told him glancing nervously at the stenographer who sat nearby The stout man grunted “All right now" he said “Let’s get down to cases You’re a friend of Michael Penny aren’t you ?” “Mike? Why— er sure Me and Mike we’ve been — well we’ve been friends for years A long time now I’ve known Mike” The stout man nodded This was no surprise to him He knew — almost everybody knew — about Mike and Tessie It was a sort of underworld legend more than ten years Mike Tessie had shared an apartment Outside of that with the exception of abuse Tessie hadn’t received anything from Mike He was very generous however with his abuse The beatings were vigorous and plentiful and Tessie had wound up in the hospital on two occasions But Tessie had never entered any charges against hej man She wasn’t Mike’s only love through their years together but he always came back to her in the end And she strangely enough was always waiting Itwas evidently one of those loves that nobody is ever quite able to understand There was something out of the ordinary in this very ordinary wom- FOR The stout man turned to his companions ( “Boys” he said “it looks as though we have a case after all And just when I thought we’d have to let Mike go too alibi about “He got this being in Callahan’s club until three o’clock this morning and six or seven guys were willing to swear they were with him until five o’clock But Tessie says he was with her so that kicks both his alibis right out the window We’ve got him now boys” Tessie was on her feet Her eyes were wild derer” The stout man shruggpd impatiently “Never mind all that When did you see Penny last?” “Last night An’ that’s how I know he didn’t have nothin’ to do with killin’ Joe Bircho Mike was with me last night an’ I can prove it” “How?” The three men watched her in- - Outiida of that with the exception of abuae Tettie hadn’t received anything from Mike tently Tessie opened her handbag and drew out a pair of ticket stubs “He was with me see? We went to the movies an’ I got the stubs right here I bought the tickets ’cause Mike was kinda short of change” She loked around eagerly "So you see what a bum rap it is? He was with me so he couldn’t be no place else We was at the movies I tell you!” “What time did you go there?” “About eight o’clock I guess We got back to the apartment about quarter to eleven I made some sandwiches I didn’t have no beer in and Mike said we oughta have some So he—” She stopped abruptly “Go on” cried the stout man “Fin- - “What are you sayin’?" she shrieked “Are you sayin’ he was at Callahan’s club and that he already had an alibi? You was goin’ to let him go?" “Right” nodded the stout man “His alibi was okay until you stepped in with one too many You can leave now Tessie We’ll be seeing you later” A police officer held the door open slowly her for her Tessie walked out thin shoulders hunched The man at the desk shook his head and stared at the eraser on his pencil “Ain’t it funny” he observed “what a dame will do when she’s in love with a guy ? That woman comes down here and lies her head off to save a man who nfever did any- thing but punch her around And by doing the thing she thought would save him she probably sends him to the chair “Ain’t it funny?” OUTSIDE of THE WEEK It took a long time but Warner Brothers finally made a hero out of a New York detective “BULLETS OR BALLOTS” takes Johnny Broderick who hits ’em first and asks questions afterward and has him kick the daylights out of some of the toughest gangsters that ever hit the screen Edward G “You done was on her feet Her eyei were wild ish the story He went out for some beer and he didn’t come back Right?” “No no that ain’t true!” Tessie had regained her composure “He did come back He was only gone a few minutes Maybe five or six that’s all Except for that he was there all night” For a few moments nobody spoke The man behind the desk twirled his pencil He was wondering why any woman should waste so many years loving a skunk like Mike Penny He wrestled with the problem and then gave it up He coughed slightly “You say” he went on “that Mike was with you all the time except for the five minutes when he went out for the beer? And that you say was about eleven o’clock ?” asked the other an nervously “Yeah it?” wom- Mazie" She “I laughed shortly done it all right For ten years I been waitin’ for the right chance to get even with Mike Penny for all the rotten things he done to me And now I done it” “Are you sure?” mumbled the other woman “Are you sure you done right?” “Sure I’m sure” cried Tessie “Just look what he done to me last night He breaks a date with me and I gotta call you to go to the movies with me If you ain’t around I gotta sit home all alone in the apartment” She took a mirror from her purse and gazed at her reflection “Yeah” she murmured “he had it cornin’ to him He had no right break-in- ’ a date with me just ’cause them guys come for him to go to Callahan’s club with them!” Robinson makes an excellent Broderick Joan Blondell is just about the prettiest number in the whole numbers f racket and Humphrey Bogart continues his march to stardom with a dynamite impresg sion of a racketeer If you still go for crime pictures as I do “BULLETS OR BALLOTS” will prove decidedly interesting screen fare as tomorrow’s newspaper It is as blood-chillin- te On the recent book lists considerably shortened by approaching Summer you can find at least one excellent novel "LET THE KING BEWARE!” by Honor e Willsie Morrow It will give you a new slant on the American Revolution and Mrs Morrow one of America’s foremost historical nov- elists spins her exciting story with a dramatic touch Published by William Morrow and Company and sells for Two other books that appealed to me this $250 week were “SATAN COMES TO EDEN” by Dote Strauch and "THREE NEW PLAYS” by George Bernard Shaw who can still hand it out without the slightest difficulty police a taxi was waiting for Tessie She stepped in and the taxi rolled away Another woman sat beside Tessie is a picture of you standing in your bathing suit” “Okay" hiccoughed the stew "Drive me to the beach!” OF air-tig- ht an’s love for Mike Penny Now she leaned forward and her eyes searched the police official’s face “Is it true like they say? I mean about Mike bein’ arrested for that murder last night?” “What do you know about that?” The words were sharp “Me ? Why nothin’ Only I know that Mike never done it” Tessie wet her lips “He never killed Joe Bircho nor nobody else Mike ain’t a mur- BEST BETS ment” red-face- TTAVE you heard Frances McCoy’s story about the play that was written by an Indian author?
