It Happened Last N ight

By Earl Wilson

NEW YORK, May 30—Mayor Impellitteri and stammering Comedian Joe Frisco have met. I was standing there beside them (at the Lambs Club Seidel Night for Bert Lytell) when they shook hands.

Frisco, who's been away from NY for seven years, and only reads racing papers anyway, said “Mr. M-mayor, how l-long have you been

m-m-mayor”?’

“I was elected in November,” said the Mayor

“W-well, don’t worry about it.” said Frisco licking ashes from his cigar. “i'll find s-some thing b-better for you in no time!”

Frisco contributed the most quoted line of the week to TV on the Milton Berle show when he aid: “Old soldiers never die, they live to testify.’

The old friend was very happy, vet he said Could you do one more thing for me?” “Don’t tell me you want me to make President!” “No, but could you make me a citizen?” RITA HAYWORTH'S Atty. Bartley Crum left to confer with Rita in Nevada. Within two wks Mr. Crum will go to Paris to discuss the $3 million settlement with Aly Khan who, despite all the rumors, is still in Europe

HERB SHRINER, appearing on “This Is Show Business,” planned to say, “Margaret Truman's going to Europe. She won’t be able to lift the Iron Curtain but she certainly can sing a hole through it.” Producer Irving Mansfield, who wants everybody to love the program, even Democrats— killed it.

DORIS LILLY, author of “How to Marry a Millionaire,” had a friendship with a wealthy Mexican who subsequently wired her: ‘Look out for a gift arriving soon.” She envisaged a new auto or a fabulous piece of jewelry. She got a crate of grapefruit.

JOE PASTERNACK, the enormously successful Hollywood producer, says his fellow Hungarian, Ferenc Molnar, fears planes more than anybody. They were trying to get Molnar to fly from NY to Chicago. He insisted on taking a train. They brought him a paper with headlines screaming about a train wreck in which many were killed.

‘I'll still go by train,” he said stubbornly. “Why?” they demanded. “You see here?” Molnar pointed to the train wreck story.
