It Happened Last Night— Gov. Dewey

Takes a Bow

But He Shoulda Thanked Connecticut's Teachers

By Earl Wilson NEW YORK, Nov. 13—Gov. Dewey's overconfidence is well illustrated by the fact that on his last tour, at New Londoh, Conn., he saw many school children in his audience. He told them it was a wonderful thing for schools to close so they could see him. It was proof, he said, that the schools knew in advance what the Republican Party would do for the people. YY... =

“The Spiritualist,”

“From a long-term view,” Mr. Twiford said, he’s about the most valuableg property in Hollywood. Ravens live 135 to 150 years, and Jimmy’s only 15. “He ought to be good for at least another century. What other actor can make that claim?”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

After Uncle Willie's death, Terry has to go live with her rich, tyrannical aunt {Dame May Whitty). Terry's cousins, one df them Jonathan (Byron Foulger), here in the picture, secretly place racing bets with her when she goes to visit her uncle's cronies at the track. Unbeknownst to Aunt Martha, the cousins, with legal help, are dipping into her fortune.

To everyone's astonishment, October wins the Derby.

gosh they're authentic. They've dug up the 17th century code of etiquette to teach to actors who eat with their fingers. * When you eat with your fingers, it's only correct to use three of them. Who would care if a guy used four, we don’t know. There

Metro - Goldwyn - Mayer found the rules in the 17th century eti« quette books, = completes with printed {illustrations on how to chew a chunk of beef. It gleefully called a school into session to teach its actors—Gene Kelly, Van Heflin, Vincent Price and Frank Morgan—to eat with their hands. Director George Sidney held a daily half-hour session with them during filming of “The Three Musketeers.”

Used Three Fingers

“When food was lifted from the serving dish to the plate,” Sidney told them, “it had to be done with three fingers only. You use one hand, only, in taking the meat from the plate to the mouth.” A gentleman, in 1625, never . |pressed butter onto bread with his thumb. He used a crust as a spreader instead. Society frowned on the count from the country who wiped the egg out of the shell with his fingers or licked it clean with his tongue. The ladies of the court held the shell daintily and scraped it with bread.
