There seems to be a tendency
on Broadway nowadays to im
mediately close a stage play giv
en the "thumbs down" treatment
by the drama critics. It could be
that some producers who closed
shows so abruptly nave put too
much faith in critics. The review
ers spoke unkindly of the musi
cal "Charley's Aunt," But the
producers hung on. Now that
show has been running over a
year. The critics didn't like "Miss
Liberty" and so stated in no un
certain terms. But that show is
also still running. That great
rural drama, "Way Down East,
, was not favored by the critics,
but it turned out to be one of the
most profitable theatrical attrac
tions of all time. And look at
"Abie's Irish Rose." Speaking of
theatrical hits can you name a
stage play that made nearly a
million dollars profit and never
even played New York? One
piece that did that was the dram
atization of Harold Bell Wright's
besX seller, "The Shepherd of the
Hills," which made most of its
profits touring the Middle West.

Right'.' A. You are quite right,

South Of Border.
Who wrote tnat haunting ditty
titled "South 01 the Border Down
Mexico Way"? I just can't recall
his name. However, I rememDer
he is the same fellow who wrote
"On the Isle of Capri" and "Red
bans in the sunset. Anyway, l
note it is reported that in Te-
uiantepec, Mexico, there are rive
women to every man. Also that
lour out of live 01 these women
are beautiful. That Tetuantepec,
Mexico, is one of the cheapest
places in the world to live.
Sounds like a nice place for a
lonely bachelor to spend a vaca
tion, i have instructed our Horses
& Women Department to care
tully check this report.

The claim made by natives of
the Lone Star State that "Texas
produces everything" is becom
ing increasingly difficult to dis
pute. Now Texas is even produc
ing dress designers apparently
destined to become world fam
ous. As for example, Tom
Brigance, a native of Waco. Tom
is so good that he has been asso
ciated with the great Captain
Molyneaux m London. As i un
derstand it he specializes in sport
clothes and is especially adept at
originating designs for women
with so called "difficult figures."
As this type of women is said to
be in the majority in both hurope
and the U.S.A., Mr. Brigance
does all right by himself
financially.
So They Say.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) wom
en are the greatest mind-chang
ing females in the Zodiac. They
are practically never satisfied
they have done the right thing.
A Gemini woman spends a lot
of time wondering whether she
wouldn't have been happier if
she had married some other man
than her current spouse. Re
member the play "The Phantom
Rival" in which the leading fe
male character spent much lime
dreaming about a man whose
proposal she turned down to ac
cept that of her husband's. She
was a typical Gemini female. Or
so say the stargazers.
Bodyguard.
A Scotland Yard man named
Dick Green has the special as
signment of acting as a guard
for tne Princess Margaret. Prac
tically everywhere Margaret
goes. Dick goes too. Naturally
he has to dress to suit the occa
sion. When the Princess attend
ed the Ascot Races Dick was
right there out in formal after
noon clothes, gray topper and all.
When the Princess goes to a ball
her bodyguard goes too, attired
in formal evening clothes. De
tective Green is a good looking
fellow. Maybe there is an idea
for an amusing film comedy in
the matter of a beautiful unmar
ried princess having a good look
ing detective bodyguard. The
background of the picture to be
a mythical kingdom, of course.
I don't know why I give these
ideas away. Especially when i
have a family and a racing sys
tem to support.
Please Note.
Six-footers look well in a po
liceman's uniform but don't
make the best officers. The most
efficient policemen are about
five feet eight inches in height.
So states a police official. The
six-footers, says he, excel in traf
fic squad work, but when it
comes to hunting, handling and
capturing criminals the average
sized cops are the best.

Comment On This and That

Why the boss ever sent a practic
ally color-blind guy to cover the
first p u 0 1 1 c
showing of col
or television is
beyond me.
I'm color
blind. Close to
it anyway.
The Colum
bia Broadcast
ing system put
on a live color
program in the
lobby of the
Walker build
ing. Eight sets
were tuned in
and the folks
questionnaire.
They were asked to say whether
tney liked it or not.
Reception was clear and the
color was ns good as technicolor
movies, everybody said.
The thing started off with
marionettes representing "Twee
die Dum" and "Tweedle Dee."
Then a blonde who said she
was Patty Painter came on and
the color parade was in progress.
She presented what looked
like a pink fan, but the man in
the bow tie next to me said it
was a red one. She showed a
black veil, which was easy to
identify, but the one she said
was green looked a little blue
grcen to me.
Finger Nails Dipped
I could tell the pretty lady's
finger nails had been dipped in
red, because they looked pink.
But when she mixed a salad be
fore the cameras there was hard
ly any mistaking the tomatoes.
Everybody knows they come
mostly in red.
The bunch of mixed roses was
not so easy, however. Luckily
the lady kept up a running com
mentary which identified them
as pink, red, yellow and burnt
orange.
After an imaginary flight
around the world with a show of
colored maps, the gals on the
show put on a fashion piece. It
was a splash of the rainbow and
the man in the bow tie whispered
that the first young lady, a
blonde, was dressed in a gamut
that ran from yellow to green
to black.
Even Red Gloves
A brunette in a dress that
couldn't have been anything but
yellow said she had on a red
coat and red shoes, not to men
tion red gloves. 1
After the show, I tagged one
of the "men-on-the-street" who
had been given a free ticket to
the performance. His name was
Henry Behlert, an elderly retired
employee of the civil service
commission.
He said he and his lady have
not yet bought a set but plan to
soon.
He never had seen television
in color but was willing to fill
out a questionnaire for me. He
wrote down that color is much
more enjoyable than black and
white and that the quality was

the pictures, he allowed, was
"just about right" and the clear

"I did see a few defects," he
