Show News Reel: Insiders discussed the Windsors and de Marigny . . . One revealed the cause for the rift between them ... It appears that some time ago ; the de Marignys received an invitation invi-tation to a party at the Windsor house . . . "We're not going," de Marigny is supposed to have tactlessly tact-lessly said publicly. "We have our own friends for a party and don't want to be bothered" . . . This must be an old one, but what matter? mat-ter? . . . Congressman Chas. Eaton was asked why in the Senate the committee is called "Foreign Relations" Rela-tions" and in the House it is known as "Foreign Affairs" . . . "The Senate," Sen-ate," Eaton is supposed to have replied, re-plied, "is too old to have affairs!" The OWI tells the column that its conductor was denounced in an official offi-cial Nazi propaganda broadcast from Berlin via D. N. B. on Nov. 17th . . . The attack said in part: "The U. S. news services have a low mentality. To mix up gossip with political facts is an American technique. Gossip of a very low nature is constantly used. It is the gossip of the very common who can only look at things from the limited perspective of the ego. For example: exam-ple: Two children who sailed on the Lusitania in spite of German warnings, and who lost their lives, were discussed at the time in the press down to their pink ribbons and lace garments, but no one in America Ameri-ca heard of the 100,000 German children chil-dren who died owing to the British-U. British-U. S. hunger blockade, and no one, therefore, realized that the U-Boat war was the logical consequence. "Walter Winchell is an example of the depth to which public life reaches when human interest becomes be-comes an end in itself. He reports on society gossip from the private lives of well known people, on commercial com-mercial and personal wrongdoings, divorce scandals, triangle affairs and unnatural dispositions. His readers number about 27,000,000, and It has been stated officially that most of his FACTS are incorrect" . . . Heheheh . . . Incorrect factsl The Dials: Anyone who is still deceived by Franco's neutrality act should flip his dials to Radio Madrid (Franco's mouthpiece), which spends all its time sending mash notes to Germany, Japan and Argentina . . . One way to rouse the silver-lining pollyanalysts out of their daydreams day-dreams is to nudge them with the grim fact that even when America wins a battle, many Americans are lost . . . Another battle the Nazis are losing is the battle of wits. They offered $20,000 for - the capture of General Tito, the heroic Yugoslav guerrilla. The Yugoslav radio re-plied re-plied by offering a reward for the capture of Gen. Pavlich, the Yugoslav Yugo-slav Quisling. They offered 35 cents . . . IVazi barbarism, witnessed by our rdiers, left them with an un-dyir un-dyir J hatred fo? Germans, Quent 'toxoids reported. Shove that down fie throats of the fools who talk about a soft peace and still believe Nazis are people. Simon & Schuster's next big book will be "Target Germany" to be given the Willkie treatment (paper cover). It's the story of the 8th Air Force and was written on assignment as-signment from Maj. Gen. Ira Eaker by two nationally known mag writers.- Though anonymous in the book, they are Major Richard Thruelsen, ex-associate editor of the SEP, and Capt. Arthur Gordon former managing man-aging editor of Good Housekeeping. Films about the war do not tempi soldiers. The most popular pictures are those that feature girls, gags and Grable . : . The shortage of joke scribblers hasn't harmed most radic comics. Their radio surveys are higher than ever . . . One of the better short subjects is titled "Worn, en at War." It stars the WACS, in eye-filling technicolor . . . An exciting ex-citing new book is "Where's Sammy?" Sam-my?" It details the adventures ol one of FDR's favorite picture-snappers Sammy Schulman. It is crowded with attractive newspaperman newspaper-man stuff, too. The publisher is Random House. Some of the quiz shows have become be-come comedy programs, with ths questions serving as stooges foi quips . . . Movictown should dream up new angles about films dealing with Nazi-occupied places. Toe many of the recent ones fall in the same pattern. You cannot make Americans understand the nature o the enemy with yawns . . . Holly- ! wood makeup wizards should quii trying to give Dinah Shore a coatinj ! of glamour. They hide her fresh natural appeal. Nothing that happens in the res' of the world can change the first ! night swanky doodles. They stil j have the best seats, the best clothei i and the worst manners ... If yoi ! want to fracture some illusions abou j Broadway have a look at the pasty faced, weary Broadwayites, who si-around si-around in the all-night places. Near ly all of them appear ten years old i er than they are and they feel r j . . . Why doesn't someone stop th( radio clowns from using physica disabilities as the subject for quip ping? |
