A “LIFE-LIKE" statue filled one of the empty niches in the Statehouse, cand it didn't cost taxpayers a dime. Hurrah for me. : Several employees were frightened silly, but it won't last. Let's hope it won't last. One thing, many who gazed at the statue that early mornthg didn’t have ‘to have coffee to get wide awake. Statues come pretty high:~R these days and it is doubtful | BS that the niches will ever be |_ BK filled.” With concrete or bronze, that is. I didn't have the slightest L ‘ idea what would happen when I climbed into tHe niche. Is it fun to be a statue? Do people =~ look at statues? Could the custodian throw me in the clink for trespassing? Time would tell. :

iz oo» oe OFFICE WORKERS hurried to their desks when a classic pose was struck—topcoat pulled back, right hand in the coat pocket, hat in left hand, chest out, eyes focused straight ahead." Before one particle of dust settled on my shoulders, a little old ‘man, bent and in deep thought, eyes on the level of my shoe tops, came by. He passed within six inches of the niche. The shine on my shoes must have caught his eve. He was moving about four feet a minute. His head turned slowly and I could feel his eyes on the trouser legs, suit, bow tie and finally my * serene face, Our eyes met. He probably hasn't moved that fast for 20 years, It was weird the way we stared at each other. He cracked first. Then he left shaking kis head in silence, > Db

SUPREME COURT Chief Justice Arch N. Bobbitt pounded along the center of the Statehouse. He gets to work early. “Good morning, Judge,” I called. That was a mistake. The Chief Justice missed a step, looked around, and answered, “Good morning.” He overlooked the niche and the statue entirely. He should know this so he doesn't worry that he's beginning to hear things. Three women walked toward the newly-oc-cupled niche. I was just deciding that nobody pays any attention to statues when one gal stopped suddenly and grabbed a friend's arm. The alert one shook her head. I smiled. The last woman

It Happened Last Night

By Earl Wilson

NEW YORK, Feb, 25—I come from a little town of normal, folks—so I was shocked over on Broadway when I saw and heard a mah who had bells ‘jingling on him—Ilike muffled sleigh bells. The character was Borrah Minnevitch, the Harmonica Rascal, the so-called “Little Boy Blew.” : . “What is this?” I asked Borrah. “Do I have a ringing in my ears?” “It's bells,” replied Borrah. “I like to jingle, jangle, jingle.” . “Little Boy Blew''—who's middle-aged now— has always been one who lived life differently. . He has a country house outside Paris, an old mill—which has a trout stream running through it. You can sit in his living room and catch a trout. : Twenty years ago Borrah was making news by losing a theater -engagement because he insisted on wearing a beard. His old mill is near a village called Maryville, - France. 5 “They recently renamed said. “But what is the origin of the bells,” I asked. “We have a saloon,” he said. “Some of us have ah arrangement to wear these bells on our shirts or shorts. : “Yesterday I had an appointment with an important person. I didnt put bells on. - “You know, I’ missed them!”

LITTLE BOY BORRAH-—-he came here as a Russian ‘Immigrant boy—is almost a transAtlantic commuter. “I haven't played the harmonica on the stage since 1943,” he confessed. “My feeling for playing fell out of me as though it had never existed.” Now he's a movie producer and backer, his first effort being a French film, “Jour de Fete,” about a postman, It's already getting great notices. “You know,” Minnevitch admitted, “I was going steady with a girl, and she had a dog. And this dog always heard me coming because of the bells. Well, one night when I didn't wear the bells, that dog darn near killed me!” There used to be an’ American slang expression—“I'll be there with the bells on.” When he goes to see that gal in the future, so will Borrah!

Americana By Robert C. Ruark,

NEW YORK, Feb. 25—The literary output of the people who write the whodunits for the twobit paperbacks is as vast as ever, but either I am getting much older or the writing is getting much lousier. Maybe both. : We had a golden age of the detective story a few years back, after Dashiel Hammett invented the private-eye and the tough-dick school of mystery writing, and when Hammett faltered to devote himself to bright pink. politics, a disciple named Raymond Chandler wrote some mighty fine tough stuff. It was a fur, fur piece’ from that vapid ass, Philo Vance, and was literature of a pretty clean character. But the imitators took over and defiled the formula, until I am beginning to wish that Mr, Hammett and Mr. Chandler had never popularized the brutal beating and the cold killing and the Kkiss-'em-first-and-kill-’em-later method of dealing with dares, shameless hussies though they be. The eager imitators have coarsened the tough school into a fatuous farce. : D> THE NEWEST titan of the belly-shooting breed of private 'eyes is. a young fellow named Mickey Spillane, who turns out epics about private Richard named Mike Hammer with the alarming rapidity of a rabbit preparing for Eastertide. The gory exploits of Mr. Hammer sell like foolproof formulas for making money, based largely on the fact that Mr. Hammer disdains juries and the due process of law. “» Mr. Hammer likes to kill people, largely, I gather, as other men fancy golf and stampcollecting. Mr. Hammer is impatient with the who are too slow and stupid to please him, so he fans his big .45 and shoots everybody who ruffles him. Sometimes hé shoots off their faces. If he dislikes them very much he shoots them through the belt buckle, so that they: will have a painful little period of Sn Sontsmipiation, i. ‘ CHIEFLY, though, Mr. Hammer really likes to shoot dames, although he professes a certain finicky distate for dealing distaff death. Mr, Hammer is all the time getting tied up with

dames who need killing, so his lack of hesitancy.

in slapping a slug into their. buxom chassis is probably an admirable trait, if a touch. treasonous to the southern school of chivalry. : But before Mr. Hammer shoots them he falls in love with them, or they with him, and I regret

to say that Mr. Hammer has a set of morals that

might gag a goat. He is a he-pushover, with the best beveled heels in private detection, and -the girls are forever at him. He skips from boudoir to boudoir with the nimbleness and general ef-

factiveness of a fellow who cares not where morn- | ing finds him, leaving a wake of tears. and.

tattered peignoirs behind. ; sa PE ; :, THERE is something peculiar in Mr. Hammer's

A young lady coming out stopped, first to ogle the statue, then greet a friend and call her attention to the discovery. The friend was in a hurry to get in the ladies’ room. + “I'm swearing off parties’ ‘groaned the anxious one, pushing back her hat. “For a second I thought I was seeing things.” Her look would have petrified a weaker statue. ‘Standing at stiff attention isn't easy. The 'ol back developed mysterious pains. A diversionary action was needed. I took to whistling at girls. A soft wolf whistle, when the victim doesn't know where it's coming from, has a powerful effect. They look and look and boil. ‘ > 0» 4 YOU ALWAYS have intense persons who can't see humor in anything. On a couple of occasions, icicles formed on the small of my back after a grim doubletake. Little wonder there are so many ulcers in the world. So it is a bit silly to climb into a niche. in the Statehouse and play statue. A man who wears a woman's hat is silly, too, bit if the act produces a laugh, who cares. And there were many laughs that morning in the Statehouse. > bd & THE TEMPERATURE went up 20 degrees and laughs were forgotten when I saw a familiar figure in a white hat coming toward the niche. Gov. Schricker was arriving. What would be the Chief Executive's reaction? Maybe he would turn off. Ooooooops—I was looking the Governor in the eye. * “Good morning,” the Governor said, cheerfully. “Good morning, Sir," the statue gulped. “I'd say you improved the empty. niche” laughed the Gov.

A statue relaxed and took It. > > o “YOU KNOW, Governor, people might talk if they see you going around shaking hands with statues.” “People talk anyway, Good luck, son.” Most statues you see in the Statehouse are grim. This one began that way. After the Governor left, the Statehouse had a happy statue. We need more with gring from ear to ear, Care to join me?

The Cyrano of the Cellars had put his nose to the:

golden grindstone. His producers all but kissed him. The chief drawback of the enjoyment of Hollywood fame, however, is that it comes all at once and then departs at the same rate of Speed. After the celluloid dream {is done, the ex-star awakens in a world of toothless tigers, shabby dancing bears and groggy gypsies of Hasbeen Land. Jimmy - Durante would soon know how suddenly failure follows success in Hollywood. But here we see a man different in character and spirit from most

of the heroes who become zeros overnight, Durante never believed he

JIMMY'S large dressing room was divided into two compartments by a portiere. In one enclosure. Jimmy lay down to rest between shots. In the other, Lou Clayton, Jimmy's closest friend and agent, received or

sent telephone messages, many

of them to bookmakers.

Louis B. Mayer, executive head of the studio and Dr: A. P. Giannini of the Bank of America were frequent visitors in the Durante dressing room, and upon entering it would rub Jimmy's nose for luck.

Unable to remember almost anyone's name or title, the Schnozzola greeted all callers with a big hello. He had been given to understand that Mayer was the studio cashier. L. B. had said at their first meet‘ing that he paid out all the checks, .

Whenever Jimmy saw Mayer he would call out, “I'll be in to wee you on payday. Always glad to see the cashier.” The acclaim that Durante, received for Wallingford placed him in great demand on the MGM lot; but no stories ‘of any consequence were available, Producers’of pictures that needed uplift called upon him to do mere comedy bits instead of worthwhile roles,

His personality, his gifts as a clown, ‘brightened these otherwise dull photoplays, byt such stop-gap casting caused a slump in, his popularity.

In four pictures that first year he applied the pulmotor to weak scenes. Sometimes he would merely walk on, make characteristic movements of his

head, roll his little eyes, and say, “Hot-cha, hot-cha!” and then exit. f

This expression, which Jimmy had originated in the night clubs, delighted the picturemakers, but Durante grew tired of saying little else while performing for the screen. He eventually refused to say “hotcha” ever again. - ~ IN 1981, 1832, and on into 1933 a succession of mediocre pictures, some of them expensively mounted, alarmed Lou Clayton, Durante's mentor. Where would it all end? Lou asked. Jim had followed the “Walingford” picture with a washout, “The Cuban Love Song,”

‘LITTLE GIBRALTAR'—

An Interlude In The Twi

By DOUGLAS LARSEN

Times Forelsn

Correspondent

EIGHTH ARMY FRONT, Korea, Feb. 25—This is Able Company's last day atop ‘Little Gibraltar,” another one of those bloody ridges like Heartbreak, important to hold because it gives you a good look down the enemy’s-

throat, and vice versa if they happen to hold it. Sometime this evening the outfit moves back into reserve for a rest.

Little Gibraltar looks like all the Korean ridges you've seen in newspictures, Broken stumps of trees, No green foliage. Raw mounds of clay topped with neat rows of Able Company's men for the past couple of months. Sandbagged gun emplacements. And all connected by narrow, deep, neat trenches. Able Company’s commander, Capt. William F, Hartman of Shamokin, Pa., a square-jawed lean man of medium height, poked his head into a bunker and in a low, clipped voice said, “Come out here, lieutenant.”

The grinning, grimed face of Lty Joseph. E. D'Imperio, of Ocean City, N. J., showed itself. He stepped out and gave an elaborate salute while holding a fork with a dripping piece of ham in the other hand. “Sir, you caught me in the last stages . of a very delicious brunch.” » » . HARTMAN smiled and said, “Your men all ready to go, -

Joe?” In mock French D'Imperio replied,” “Mon Captain, you

should ask such a question.”

There was a long pause while Joe finished his piece of ham. Then Hartman said: “I suppose you know that one of your men started a fire out on patrol last night. Guess he got too cold, hunh?” “My God, why doesn't someone tell me what goes on in my own platoon,” Joe said. He let out a shout for “Andy.” A sergeant appeared. Joe asked him ° about the fire and he replied: “Yes, sir. He was about. 25 yards from me when he tried it. 1 didn’t know what he was up to. I got over.to him too late. The damage was done. They sure threw it in on us heavy

“Actuslly, ‘we've got a helluva lot of training to do. There are a lot of new men in the outfit. Replacements, Believe it or not you can get out of" training when you've been in the line a long-time. Even the old ones.” He continued: ‘Something else you wouldn't believe. When it's fairly quiet up here like it has been lately the guys kind of like the life, except for the patrols maybe.
