NEW YORK, December 20.—The Beabury whip which has whistled over the heads of office holders more than two years cracked sharply again today ‘with stinging lashes at former Mayor James J. Walker, Tammany Hall, two State Supreme (Court justices, a bor- ough president, a city commissioner and even the actress, Betty Compton.

Hollywood Stars to Spend Christmas—Eating. OW will the stars spend Christmas? This vital ques- tion has been solved by every publicity department from A to Z. For weeks now these cinema oracles have been in a frenzy as to what so-and-so was going to do. They have im- plored, entreat- ed, cajoled and wheedled every luminary on the market in an effort to make them tell their plans.

You have only to glance at one of those literary film magazines to appreciate the fact that these players have been celebrating_Christmas since August. Nevertheless, with curlous equa- nimity, the press boys have gone right ahead and delved some more into Hollywood’s Christmas lore— with the result that at the moment this desk is_piled high with long epistles of cheer. Says the Para- mcunt office, “Hollywood Christmas ‘festivities to be extremely simple this year.” Says the Fox firm, “Fox stars will spend Christmas all over world.” And while the wily M-G-M office and R-K-O boys say nothing (wise, perhaps), Warner Brothers send in a long account of what its favorites are going to do on tl festival day. One and all, they agree on one point—the stars are going to eat. This they are sure of.
