NEW YORK, Nov. 30—A guy who came in a winner}

1948

It Happened Last Night— Mike Todd Does A Harry Truman

* Broadway Producer Brings

ner Over Odds Wilson

just about like Harry Truman did is the Broadway pro-

ducer Mike Todd.

‘He is an ex-carnival guy who talks about “heaters” (cigars) and “scratch” (money) and he is married to Joan’.

Blondel. They thought he was going; to have a flop on his hands with his new show, “As the Girls Go,” but comedian Bobby

Clark (an Ohio boy) made it a big hit, and now everybody's his

pal and they tell him they were|{™ in there rooting for him all the|X

e. , And Mike just puffs his heater and doesn’t tell them he knows they're lying.

2 ” # BUT MIKE—who comes from Minneapolis, Chicago, Texas and practically everywhere else—has a couple of good stories in his system, and I want to tell them to you. ; He made his present show a hit by getting Clark and by hiring some of the prettiest girls in the country and by persuading them to take off all the clothes the law will allow. This is what Ziegfeld used to.do but the other boys lately Have foregotisn it.

Jokes Unfunny

MIKE STARTED out in show business in Chicago as a gag writer for Olson and Johnson. “My - jokes were unfunny. *Those men ain't WPA workers —they're statues’—that kind. I didn’t last,” he says. For the Century of Progress in Chicago, he produced something called The Flame Dance. A gal named Muriel Page would dance around a big candle and—guess what—her clothes were burned off by the flame and she was naked. Looked real, too.

BUT IT was with the opening of the New York World's Fair— the World of Tomorrow, remember?—that Mike got known hereabouts. He put on a show called “The Hot Mikado.” It went good and the purty gals wanted a raise. Mike told them he was starvin’ to death. Making no dough at all. A newspaperman interrupted. “Your auditors say your show is not making money,” said the reporter. “Your press agent says your show is the biggest hit of the fair. How do you account for the discrepancy?” “All I can say,” said Mike,

“is that each department is|-.

functioning perfectly.”

Ld ” ” It's Real Real THEN THE next year Mike put on a show called “Gay New ‘Orleans” at the fair. “Oh, it's going to be realistic,” Mike told this very reporter at that time. “I'm going to reconstruct Beale Btreet,” he said. “Beale Street,” I suggested timorously, “is in Memphis.” “You see, angelpuss?’ howled Mike. “I'm the right guy to do a New Orleans show, because I've

Earl's Pearls... AS JOEY Adams was saying at the Cardinal, “The landlords | were trying to raise rents ‘clear to ‘the ceiling — and then, hurray, the ceiling fell on thera.” 4 In Hollyood, Marty Joey Adams Ray observed that song writers are certainly wonderful — they're writing songs: that haven't been written for hundreds of years.

“I don’t know what it's like but I know what the public thinks it's like, and that's what counts.”

- = - HIS “GAY New Orleans” was a hit, too. Mike has plenty of critics around and he pays them little mind. Because, as he himself says, “In Todd He Trusts.” Mike has a press agent from Grafton, W. Va. Bill Doll, who has stuck with him through thick and thin, and occasionally it was thin. Mike gave him an autographed picture once.

Minister's Protest Halts Franklin Pajama Races

Times State Service

FRANKLIN, Nov. 30—Nocturnal pajama races are now just a |

memory at Franklin College. Prosecutor Robert Lybrook,

charges of “nudity” resulting from a race around the campus here last week, said demands for legal action have been dropped. “The less said about this pr the better,” Mr. Lybrook

declared.

This collegiate pastime came to an abrupt halt here Josterted after the Rev. John pastor of the a Ee Church, charged that he saw at least 20 fraternity pledges running a footrace around coeds’ dormitory in the nude. On this blushing question Franklin is a house divided. The Rev. Mr. Beyer, and his wife, who also said she witnessed the race, said some of the boys were scantily clad, while others sped about the hallowed precincts of Franklin College in the nude.

All Covered

Spokesmen for the Phi Delta Theta, however, said Mr. Beyer was mistaken. All the youths taking part in the annual “pajama race” were covered, they said. ‘Women students who witnessed | a portion of the race, came to the defense of the fraternity boys. The girls told college officials that none of the men were “completely nude.” Some of the lads. the girls observed, were wearing the lower half of their pajama suits. A fraternity officer who refused to be quoted said the minister was | in “quite a tizzy” over the affair. In fact, he was so angry, he threatened to prosecute the offenders, the officer said. The minister, who met with col- | lege and fraternity officials yesterday, said he decided against prosecution “‘after consulting with; legal counsel.” With the minister's decision made public,” everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Lybrook, who also attended the meeting, said the college student body called a halt to future pajama races.

Two five-day refresher courses in criminal investigation opened yesterday at State Police headquarters at Stout Field. The courses feature instruction in special investigation and new methods of police procedure.

U. S. Seeks $25,000 Found in Safety Box

A $25,000 tug-of-war was to be staged in Superior Court 1 this afternoon. Contestants are J. Carl Vandivier, receiver for the Indianapolis Brewing Co. and Wilbur O. Plummer, assistant collector of internal revenue. In a petition filed two months ago Mr. Vandivier informed the court that in searching for brewing company assets he unearthed $25,000 in cash in a safety deposit] box at the Fidelity Trust Co. He said the money, 250 $100 bills, was in a sealed envelope marked with the initials “L. P. B.” Prior to August, he said, he was unaware the money existed and the only person he knew whose name matched the initials was Lawrence P. Barden, 3015 N. Meridian St., former general manager of the company. On this basis, Mr. Vandivier was awarded custody of the money. In September, however, Mr. Plummer filed a petition with Judge Niblack for release and delivery of funds under a notice of levy. His petition flatly de-
