Lofton, he demanded in a voice he must have intended March 1 over! “What the hell do you mean?” she shot at him, whirling about. It was a bit of a jolt. Fingering his blackjack, the bandit explained rather lamely that what he wanted ! was money, Mrs. Lofton gradually edged along the door and then . . “He made a lunge for me” she related afterwards. ‘So I slapped him across the head and chest with I ran out the front door yelling, l‘Holdup s day. Leaying into his car he sped away, amid a rain of bullet fired by Lofton, who. had heard his wife’s shout and rushed around from the qrear, all prepared. . U It was all pretty unnerving. The ‘bandn seemed to lose his grip, even on_the car, for road workers later found it overturned eighteen miles farther east, and identified it as one stolen earlier from H. C, Alger.

But that wouldn't have any effect. on the lads’ privaté lives, would it necessarily? The Messrs. Huntz Hall, Bernard Punsley, Leo Gorcey, Gabriel Dell ‘et als are becoming concerned about things. At first they glorified in those yarns about their Kittenish misdeeds about the lot. Today theyre alarmed when they read what hellions they're supposed to be. “Just because we horse around a little,” “we don’'t want folks to get the wrong idea.” “Sure, most of us have been in show business long enough to put on a good act—but it was just an act,” said another . “Folks'll think we're awful obnoxious,” said a third.

The name is vaguely familiar—from New York, I guess—so T go, and pretty soon I meet Mr. Foo, and he doesn't.look at ail celestial, in fact he looks like Eddie Lewis who hailed {rom Boston and cori- wuered New York, then eyed the Gold Coast. and sampled its climate. Net result, says Mr. Lewis, is that Mr, Foo is here to stay—his imported chefs having proved to their satisfactionthat the local water is adequate for the concoction of a savory delight yclept Ege Roll. Mr. Foo's alter ego will remain in New York while Mr. Foo himself basks in the local glammer and I, ‘heaven permmtng, bask often in the Roll of the Egg. : ¥ While on such matters—did you ever pity the poor nightclub operator hereabouts? Did you ever consider his mournful outlook as.he hears that some cinema celebrity is tossing a big party— at home? % Nor did I, until T talked to Monte Proser. Monte is a cheerful soul; with a cheerfulness born amid the bright lights of New York and as yet undamperied by the fact that he acquired some time ago a night club in Hollywood. Hollywood is:not the best of all possible places far a night club as the record of foldings and. fatalities will show. Monte has La Conga, in the heart of Hnllywood and he has made it tick—so far. But (says Monte) a night club hereabouts is dependent almost entirely on the favor of the movie crowd. When he hears that a movie star is giving a party—at home—he prepares for a good night's rest. “Might as {well close the doors that night,” says he, “and hope nobody gives a party—at home—the next!” {
