The A-V-E-N-O-O by THE SAINT A LETTER TO OUR GOOD FRIEND CPL. OPAL TANDY, Somewhere On The High Seas Well old Man, the town you left behind is really jumpin’, and we don’t mean maybe. The Avenoo is pn the beam, and a Hock of mellow’ chicks beat a steady stream along the Main Stem from early eve until the next bright. We know 7 how 7 you feel about us not sending you a write more often, but you understand, old Man, things have been so groovy until w 7 e really haven't had time. Grant Hawkins dropped the police force like a hot potato and is now 7 associated with Planner House. Your good friend Libby Fillmore is now vacationing in and around South Bend. Dig this: The Boss spent two days recently in Chicago. Enjoyed his trip too. At the present Reverend Terry is busy heatin’ up his gums. That beautiful lady’s picture you wanted should reach you within several heights. She is strictly mellow and is causing many a heart to flutter. That other little flame, a little on the portly side, if you know 7 what we mean, is strictly in there — a mellow 7 number if there ever was one. She asks about you quite often. Those tw 7 o mellow numbers in the beauty parlor w 7 ere out playing a few bright.* ago. The 500 block is jumpin’. It contains more lovers than any other block in the city. And what beats me, is the way the Cats rave and fight each other about these queens. Every day there is some kind of fukus going on in this block about what somebody said about somebody else. Two or three of the (Big Shots?) keep the block lively all day each and every day with their gum-beating, you know 7 trying to be another Goosie. And the way they flash those bankrolls is a sin. One new 7 copper, just about a minute on the force said that it makes him mad to see these guys flash those hundred-dollar bills. He ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. Don’t-cha know it, too. Little George Thompson is still carrying on over in Hiawii, and are we jealous. If there is such a thing as a heaven it must be over there with tiiose beautiful numbers all around you. Herschel Buckner is out of khaki and back in tow 7 n on good rubber. Palmer Richardson and Ruby Shelton are opening the new 7 4-40 club eath the P.P. Wm. Benbow 7 the international promoter is just back in town after a few days in Detroit, Toledo and Cleveland searching for new 7 talent for his floor shows at the Log Cabin and Chief Clubs. He is knockin’ the town out with Doc Clayton singin’; Aileen Breeden, Elsie Gulliver, Frida Beasley and Maude Walton plus Phelia and Leroy doin’ a bangup show. How’ard Harding is now promoting the Arwinco club floor sho w 7 ith Sue Parker’s revue, starring Clarissa, Kate, Lucille and Harold Smith singing and em ceeing the show 7 . Johnny Harris and His Gentlemen of Swing furnish the music. The show is good and they turned them away SatU-lay nite. It was really an overflow 7 crowd, .fames Payne and Charles Tolliver are still packin’ ’em in at the ritzy Defense club where liveable Bobby Campbell is em ceeing, and a darn good show 7 is on tap nitcly. Cpl. Herbert (Buster) McDonald is now stationed at Freeman Field near Seymour after during several months service in the South Pacific. Received a letter from my sou, June, now 7 on active duty somew’here on the high seas. My other son, Lynn, sent me a mellow 7 number for Easter. Suit and top coat A sw 7 ell boy w 7 ith a sw 7 ell pater, whatcha bet . . ! My youngest boy, Jerry, is now a civvie and is married to a lovely little girl in Chi. In fact, the boys wanted me to visit tiiem Father’s Day and had a brand new 7 suit as capital prize, but I couldn’t make the grade, since I w 7 as in Dayton when the the letter arrived. ‘Tis too bad, but you know, Old Man, I'll make up to them in some way. J. D. Brown w 7 as in town on furlough but has returned to camp. Joe Williams was in town 'nakin’ whoopie along the Stroll. Sergeant John Glenn is back in the detective department. Sergeant Buikett is doing his bit at headquarters. And, guess who he blames for this? You guessed it! Can you imagine such a thing? Did you know 7 that W. Chester Hibbitt has laid low 7 the mantle of editorship and is now 7 w ith the OPA ? Scotty Scott, your old editor is back at the helm. Johnny Nab is closing dow 7 n the hot spots along the Avenoo at 1 a.m., and th eboys are just about frantic. Mrs. Brizentine Taft has stopped playin’. But she still keeps pitchin’ through that fine colyum of her’s. All the gang here at the office send regards to you and wonder just how 7 soon you’ll be back knockin’ yourself out. Wesley 0. Jackson, bigtime baseball promoter, scored. He actually got busses running out to the ball park. He is due full credit for this job, and we were among the first to congratulate him on his victory. The boy is really doing a w’onderful job promoting baseball here in Naptown, and plays the game with the same poker face ihat has made him a hard guy to figure out when he sits in at those secret sessions. The boy really rates a great big hand, and let’s give it to him. Whatcha say, old Man? Regards to all the bovs from this part of the country. THE GANG.

Woman of theTown’TarkTues.

In Hollywood, it seems, some actors must be hated before they’re like. The latest of those that were booed and hissed on the screen is Albert Dekker, who is slated to beiome one of the romantic leading men of the year. Dekker is cast hi a co-starring role in "The Woman Of The Town”, opposite beautiful Claire Trevor. For the first time in his career on the screen he will he the guy who is not only trusted by the girl, hut the guy who wins her love also. However. Dekker traveled a long villainous path before he landed the role of Bat Masterson, lighting marshal of Dodge City and suitor of the glamorous Dora Hand. He l ad to go through the same stages that nearly all of the now-famous leading men of Hollywood did. For instance. Spencer Tracey did iiot get his big break until lie had played Killer Mears in "The Taist Mile”, a role that had even the tough men in the audienees wincing a little: Humphrey Bogart rose to fame by playing gangsters —the kind that shot their pals in the Iwiek: Alan Ladd, now one of (he heart-throbs of the nation. l»e-

came a star overnight after playing the killer in "This Gun For Hire” and Charles Boyer’s greatest part was that of a two-timing gentleman of fortune in ‘‘Hold Back The Dawn.” The picture start Tuesday at the Park theater.
