A directory titled "Touring
With Towser," edited by Harry
Miller lists the hotels and auto
courts in the U. S. A. that ac
cent dogs with guests. A new edi
tion has just been completed. If
you take your dog along when
you travel this directory may
save you a lot of grief. Last fall,
when we made the trip from
California to New York with our
dog. we arrived In Pittsburgh
lute at night after a very long
drive. We were much inconve
nienced when we learned the
hotel we had chosen did not
welcome dogs.
Horses St Women
A recent check on the subject
revealed that the average Chi
cago housewife has been mar
ried nearly 19 years. Eighteen
and eight-tenths years to be ex
act. When those Chicagoans say
"I do," they really mean it. Of
course. I guess those wonderful
Chicago husbands have some
thing to do with making the mar
riages in their city so lasting.
The same bit of research re
vealed the average Chicago
housewife is five feet four inches
tall and weighs 140 pounds.
That's being a little plump. Still
not too plump. Women around
that weight are not as easily irri
tated as the thinner females and
so are easier to get along with.
Pasting By
Nick Wall, veteran jockey,
back In New York after 10 years
on the Pacific coast. Riding in
California Nick was so seriously
injured his life was despaired
of. He was in the hospital over
a year. It was two years after
that before he could ride again.
But he made a come-back and is
now doing fine. A very game
little fellow. . . . Lisa Fonnsa-
grives, one of New York's most
popular fashion models. She is
paid $40 an hour. Earns around
$500 a week. Been a model for
15 years. Admits she is 38 but
looks 10 years younger. She was
born in Sweden. She's a blonde.
The Swedish blondes are the sec
ond most beautiful blondes In the
world. Most beautiful are the
blondes born around Milan, Italy.
Milk
"According to vou. a New
Yorker wrote the editor of the
Miami, Fla., Herald stating that
the price per quart of milk was
less in New York city than in
Miami and yet the New York
milk companies made a profit,"
writes John Flournoy Montgom
ery. "He knows not whereof he
speaks. The two major New York
city milk companies are losing
millions of dollars. They have
informed their stockholders milk
is being sold at a loss In New
York city. If the New Yorker
referred to can name a single
dairy company of any size in
New York city that made a prof
it In 1949, or that is operating at
a profit today, 1 will send him
a box of stogies."
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Who
wrote, who popularized and who
inspired the song. "Slide. Kelly,
Slide "? A. 1 don't know wlio
wrote that song, but Maggie
Cline popularized it. "King" Kel
ly, the great Boston National
league plaver, inspired it.
Short WACS
"So one Wanda Tilford claims
to have been the shortest WAC
In World War II." writes Min
nie Margn of San Francisco...
Wanda is 4 feet 1 1 Va inches.
Well, I am 4 feet 11 inches in
height and I was a WAC. I knew
two other WACS who were only
4 feet 10' i inches In height."
Get It Right
If I hope to conserve my stogies
I will have to check, double
check, triple check and then
check some more. I stated John
P. Harris, of Pittsburgh, orig
inated the word "Nickolodeon"
for a theater he established in
1905. That he did has been ac
cepted by many authorities on
the subject. However, he didn't.
Over 60 years ago there was a
olace of entertainment in Boston
known as Austin's Nickolodeon.
The files of Boston newspapers
of 1888 reveal this nickolodeon
owner to have been an adver
tiser. Pianos
Here is a question for you to
answer quick as a quarter of a
flash. Answer ft before you read
further. How many keys are
there in a piano? Anyway, now
I know what a jazz musician
is talking about when he refers
to an "88." So nicknamed be
cause there are 88 keys in that
instrument.
Dress Rehearsal
For Torchbearers
Held Last Night
Dress rehearsals for "The
Torch-Bearers." three-act satiri
cal comedy to be produced by
the Footlighters civic theater
group, got underway last night
at the Medford senior high
school where the play will be
presented Thursday and Friday
of this week.
With an occasional "flat" that
flapped and bells which didn't
ring, the cast none the less gave
a portrayal of what George Kel
ly, the playwright, intended
to show what "little theaters"
should not be but too often are.
Rehearsal Shown
The first act shows a rehearsal
in all its unglamorous rawness,
and a bevy of characters all very
painfully familiar in "little thea
ter." The second act shows the
collapse of what was intended
to be a play, with nothing spared.
All the silly attitudes and acci
dents are there, from the out
raged directress to the villain's
unadhesive mustache.
The third act puts across the
message, leaving the actors re
freshed at having seen them
selves as they really are.
The plot revolves around Mrs.
Pampinelli, played by Mrs.
Laura Porter, who instigates the
whole "artistic mess." The typi
cal "leading light." she showers
the piny with theatrical bro
mides and bellows the constant
call to the torch-bearers.
Nelly Fell, played by Mrs.
Frankie Burton, lends gaiety
throughout. Her official capacity
as promptress always seems sud-
ordinate to ner conversational
tendencies with the young men.
Others in the cast include Hal
Newhouse, Charlene Pike, Ber
nard Kelly. Jim Sullivan, Keitn
Hopkins. Kenny Bushnell, Mrs.
Milo Hunt, Mrs. E. D. Hampson,
Beverly Hampson and Aubrey
Harris.
Tickels for "The Torch-Bearers."
are on sale at Pniitts Mu
sic center and Olson Furniture
company.
CHEAPER AT CLEANERS
Anadarko, Okla. tU.R Her
man Lee Burns, charged with
driving with improper head
lights on his car, explained the
lights blinked nut and he didn't
stop and fix them for fear he'd
soil his clean suit. Peace Justice
W. K. Fait ordered him to pay a
S5 fine and $11.55 costs. "For
$16.55. you could have lots of
cleaning done," the judge commented.
