A New Yorker telli me that
list lummer when, with lour
friends, he visited Ashbury Park
N. J., they were charged one dol
lar each for the privilege of sit
ting on the beach.A police officer
told tnem tne money was usea
for the upkeep of the boardwalk
nd keeping the beach clean. So
perhaps that Florida booster I re
ferred to who pointed out that
the beaches in the Sunshine
State are free really had some
thing worth talking about.
Play Writing
Somerset Maugham was prac
tically broke when he suddenly
began to click as a playwright.
One month he was unknown and
the next he had three hit plays
running at the same time in Lon
don. If you want to succeed as
a writer of box office hits study
the plays of Pinero, Maughan and
Shaw. Incidentally, I recently
noted it stated play with a trial
scene rarely fails. There may be
something to that. Consider all
the plays with trial scenes that
have been hits. To name just a
few: "On Trial," "Madame X,"
"Common Clay," "Interference,"
'The Case of Mary Dugan,' and
"The Woman on the Jury." It
may also be true of the films.
Anyway, "Adam's Rib," with
Spencer Tracy, and Katharine
Hepburn, is one of the smash hits
of the year.
Cigar Smoker
Mickey Noonan of Now York
city, who is 18 years old, has
been smoking cigars for 17 years.
At the age of 1 he started taking
a puff at a cigar butt his father
had placed on an ashtray. At the
ace of 3 Mickey was smoking
his own cigars. You probably saw
news photographs of him at that
lime, well, ivuuKey is sun a
cigar smoker. He says he just
can't break himself of the habit

All You Can Eat
Am informed that on Sunset
boulevard, Hollywood, Cal.,
there is a place which offers you
all you can eat for a dollar fifty.
You pay as you enter and con
tinue eating as long as you like.
The record for eating at this
olace is said to be 1 1 helpings of
roast beef by a UCLA football
player. Rival restaurateurs, try
ing to figure out how this place
can make money, say its profits
must come from the bar.
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
is the origin of the saying. "The
hook"? I claim that at amateur
nights at Miners theater, on the
Bowery, they actually used a
hook to drag performers from the
stage. Right? A. Quite right, sir.
At Miners and many other bur
lesque theaters on amateur nights
me audience, when not pleased
with an amateur's performance.
called out "Get the hook." The
noor, unfortunate amateur was
then dragged from the stage with
a hook.
Q. I say the song "Ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-ay" is an American
song. My argumentative brother-in-law
says it is British. A. The
song you mention is said to have
first been sung in a honky-tonk
in at. tioms, U. s. A. However,
it was first popularized in Eng
land by Lottie Collins in the
nineties.
Please Note
Chicken bones kill more does
than automobiles. Such is the
claim made by a dog expert in
the April issue of the Cosmopol
itan magazine. The dog breaks
the bone into splinters and these
injure his intestines. It is also
stated that other foods bad for
dogs are candy, cake, asparagus,
nork and spaghetti.
Hairdressers
Male hairdressers who use
their full names are rare. It
might be possible one who did
use his full name would, because
of his originality In that respect,
attract some high class clients.
That's what I recently stated. I
have been Informed that two of
Manhattan's most successful hair
dressers use their full names.
One is Robert King, formerly of
Hollywood, who numbers among
his clients Greer Garson, Olivia
De Havilland and Esther Wil
liams. The other is Roger Verg
nes. who has among his custo
mers Ina Claire, Mrs. Harrison
Williams and the Duchess of
Windsor.
Infants
A child rearing exoert savs
when a mother is shy of knowl
edge on how to handle an infant
the baby realizes It and loses res
pect for its mother. The result
is said infant grows ud to be a
child who is hard to manage and
has a good chance of becoming
a juvenile delinquent. There are
courses lor expectant mothers
offered in all large towns and
cities in the United States. In
sist that the girl you intend to
marry attend one of these
courses. As for yourself, young
fellow, you should attend one of
those courses for expectant fath
ers. Then you'll know for sure
your child is going to be reared
properly.
Active Old Boys
Connie Mack, managing a ma
jor league team at the age of 87,
is probably the world's most ac
tive old boy. Still there are other
elderly fellows who are still re
markably active for their ages.
As, for example. Lord Trenchard,
maorshnl of the British air force.
Lord Trenchard, who is 77 years
old. recently marie the highest
flight of his long aviation career.
He piloted a jet propelled De
Havilland Comet to a height of
40,000 feet, or about 7V4 miles!

Talking calmly but obviously
stunned by her husband s act
Mrs. Grant told the United Press
of events leading up to the plane
trip.
"This is something that never
happens to you it's something
vou read about In a newspaper
happening to someone else," she
said.
Her husband suggested the
flig it to San Diego some time
ago, she said.
"Yesterday was our son, Rob
ert's fifth birthday, and the trip
was a sort of celebration. But at
the last minute Jack said he
had to get some parts and would
follow us on the next flight in
about an hour or so.
"I was to wait in the San
Diego terminal. When we got to
the terminal here we took in
two bags, which we weighed. He
had three tickets, and he said
that would take care of the
weight (of the suitcases).
Following Events Blurred
Mrs. Grant then bought three
policies worth szo.uuo by insert
ing five quarters into a policy
selling insurance machine.
That was the last-part of the
day's events which were clear
to the dark-haired Mrs. Grant.
After that everything was "a
blur."
She and the children got into
the plane, fastened their safety
belts and heard the DC-3s en
gines start.
Then a representative of the
airline called my name and asked
me to get off. When I got off
there was a lot of confusion.
They didn't tell me anything. I
waited until police took me to
the Venice substation."
It was then that she learned
of the fantastic murder plot.
Couldn't Take Burden
'Jack just couldn t take the
financial burden. He worried
about the bills and about the
kids' education. I accepted It,"
Mrs. Grant said.
He was a very conscientious
man, a great worrier. He never
gambled or played the horses."
