By Earl NEW YORK, Oct. 23—

Dewey's political speeches don't have quite the right zing,

so I've decided to help them The kind of speech I'd lik

is the one Groucho Marx gave for Heywood Broun in 1930

when Broun ran for Congress.

Groucho indorsed Broun fearlessly. In fact, he said:

_ “Man and boy, I have known Heywood Broun for 30 years, He has also known me for 30 years. “This makes a total of 60 Years) and brings us down to the fiscal year of 1861. “My father was complaining about thé prices and the Prices, | who lived right next door, were| complaining about my father.” » ~ ” (Note how he handled the| price issue, Harry? Straightfor- " ward!) Groucho also two-faced other issues squarely. “While other boys were steal-| ing apples, Broun was stealing bananas and reading the Congressional Record,” Groucho continued. "This was quite]

Twenty minutes later a plane broke through the clouds for one of the prettiest little accidents ever seen on the fields of Mineola. “That little accident, ladies and gentlemen, was Heywood Broun!” roared Groucho, looking around for somebody to dispute him. Nobody ever did. They had all gone home. “But in a far-off corner of the field, with tears in her great brown: éyés and a lump in her throat, a’ horse is watching” Groucho orated on. “That horse, ladies and gentlemen, is Heywood Broun.

That — Harry and Tom — is {more the thing I'd like from you boys. I phoned Groucho on

{the set of his new picture, “Love | Happy.’ ’ in Hollywood, about this |speech which he delivered {throughout New York for Broun, and he remembered it all to clearly. “Broun always said it was due to my speech that such an overwhelming vote was cast,” Groucho sald. “For the winner, Congresswoman Ruth Pratt,” he added.

Annie’ Passes | 1000th Showing

Merman Musicomedy On All-Time Hit List

By JACK GAVER United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct. 23 (UP)— The second American musical comedy to achieve 1000 performances is “Annie Get Your Gun.” The first was “Oklahoma!” To those who know the work of the two men, it should come as no surprise that Oscar Hammerstein land Richard Rodgers were, in volved in both shows. The two wrote the words and music for “Oklahoma!” which set a wdrld’s long-run record for musical comedies before it quit New York after 2246 performances. It’s still going strong on the road with two companies. The pair were only the producers of “Annie,” but because of their own creative abilities there is considerably more of them in this show than there is of the ordinary producer in a show, Still Stars
