THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 15, 1937 INSIDE TIPS ON NEW YORK, ~ ITS PEOPLES [Can Buy a Friend for $25 What Doris Cromwell Delights in Doing By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, Sept. 15. — There’s a sign in a pet shop near 48th street and a keen student of human na- ture must have written it. It says “If anyone tells you you can't buy a friend, he doesn’t know what he talking about. You can buy any dog in this window for $25.” Louis Bromfield is a successful novelist, a Pulitzer prize winner, yet his atest ambition is to write a successful play. Of half a dozen {previous attempts, none has been anything to use Eugene O'Neill concern. Perhaps he is one of those novelists who can’t write plays. ‘I)flxlw!! few playwrights could write an acceptable novel. | o Entertains Entertainers The most beautiful women in New | York are not on Broadway. They are |in the model agencies, Anyway, we [think so. Doris Duke Cromwell likes to jgive parties for entertainers who seldom get to attend parties in the |role of guests. Recently she en- {gaged an orchestra and a dancer they were amazed to realize |that the party was really for them. {Her limousines brought them to jher New Jersey estate and while {they dined and enjoyed them- Iselves she danced, played the pi- ano and banged the trap drums. | Emil Ludwig has had 13 biog- raphies published in this country. | They include several kings, an ad- venturess, and a river. His last book was a biography of the Nile. | Dennis King is expert at steeple- chase riding. He detests new hats. Miriam Hopkins is five feet tall and weighs 100 pounds. She studied art at the Chicago Art Institute. R Fast One on Louis Trving Berlin thinks there is no ;such thing as a new melody. He says most composers depend almost entirely on tricks. | Like the proverbial clown wish- ing to play Hamlet, ICaudette Col- bert is a mischievous comedienne| with a yen for emotional parts. She is also an excellent athlete and weighs 103 pounds. } | Bill Robinson pulled a fast one on Joe Louis, who is crazy about baseball. . . . “How could this hap- pen, Joe?” the tap dancer queried. “Two baseball teams play a nine inning game, and the score is four to two, yet not a man reaches first base?” | B M B | “How?” puzzled Joe, scratching' e h ren s o his head. - - - 'wo bloomer girl teams play,” né velled Robinson gleefully — and g ducked. | “Juneau’s Leading Department Store™ | It Must Be Catching | OMAHA, Neb.—Elopements ap- pear to be a habit in the Joseph Evans family of Omaha. | When Dorothy, 21, eloped, Mar- caret, 28, thought it a good idea.
