Since the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper clip has to do with peo- ple well known in Key West, it gets first space. Dr. and Mrs. Charles Bratenahl invited 90 friends to a cocktail hour at their Manoa home for a party to be given June 27, Guests of honor will be Mrs. G. R. Smiley of Louisville, Ky., and Key West, and Mr. and Mrs. J. Edgar Willing of Hartford, Conn., and Key West. Of course the Bowman Cutters will be there too, as they live in Pearly City and Bow is working with the Navy. Mrs. Smiley is Helen Cutter’s mother. She has been in Honolulu for seven months, She returns to her old Kentucky home late this month and then plans to tour Eur- ope for six months. The Willings have been in Hawaii for séveral weeks. They, too, will be coming Stateside very shortly. LONGDISTANCE call was from Paul Bruun, amusement editor of the Miami Beach paper. He’s Dan- ish and you can bet your boots that Fred and Renee Hansen will have a session with him. We're going out to dinner and chew over old times along with the food, Pro- bably, the interview ill be concern- ed with the changes in Miami Beach including the show world. When I first became a colleague as. nightclub - movie editor (but never a rival of Paul in the en- tertainment field,) he was extre- mely helpful: He had, and has, a healthy skepticism. He wan't ex- actly gentle in many of his re- views, but was always honest in his opinion as a critic. The only time he seems to have looked into a clouded crystal ball was when he reviewed Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin at Lou Walter's Latin Quarter. He panned them, but un- mercifully! Then they went on to "|New York to rave reviews and to their current pinnacle of success. Of course, as a critir, Bruun was certainly entitled to voice disap- wal. Maybe he just didn’t, or r that matter, still doesn’t like their brand of comedy. I remem- ber saying that they had a lot of originality and that they would probably be bigshots, but that they should cut one of their bits of horseteeth horseplay for dinner shows. It was a funny piece of bus- iness, but a little toostartling for diners to look up and find Jerry leering at them with enormous false teeth inserted over his own, and 4hen have the teeth fall direct- ly over the table. . .to be caught just above plates (dinner ones) by a string. Paul can tell you some extremely interesting - off-the-re- cord tales about the big gambling syndicates, gangsters and charac- ters who invaded the nighclub world, too, Maybe he'll have some for me this time. COINCIIDENCE BONGS again. Just as this was being written, Re- nee Hansen walked in with a new idea for the FantaSea Room. They know Paul Bruun very well, as most entertainers in Florida do, She was delighted to learn that he will visit in Key West. Now for cake with “Happy Birthday” inscribed on it.
