LETTERS OF G. B. 3. . TOPIC OF DISPUTE Shaw Declmw to Sanction Pub-| lication by W. A, Page New York, Jan. 21 (P—Whether the right to publish the contents of a letter belonging to the writer or to the recipient is the point at issue in a heated controversy between George Bernard Shaw, the English playwright, and Will A. Page, Broad- way theatrical man. Legal action is threatened by Mr. Shaw's attorneys, Stern and Reubens, unless four letters written by Mr. Shaw to Mr. Page 25 years ago are deleted from the latetr's book, “Be- hind The Curtains of Broadway's Beauty Trust,” a treatise on Broad- way spectacles and revues. Buttressed by the opinion of his lawyer, Frederick Goldsmith, that | there are many precedents giving | him the right to publish the letters, Mr, Page so far has declined to com- ply with Mr. Shaw's demand. Page is quoted as saying that the 1 presence of Mr. Shaw on this side| of thg Atlantic would be necessary for prosecution of the action and it would be worth a suit to have him come over. The New York Times observes that under English law the text of a Jetter is “the absolute property of the writer” without his consent, while “the law is said to be unsettled in this coun- try. True Shavian wit and sarcasm are displayed in the disputed letters, two of which were written in 1902 in reference to a plan of Mr. Page’s for producing Shaw plays in America. The letters were incorporated in the book by Mr. Page over protest by Mr. Shaw. Colonel E. M. House was denied the right to print letters received from Presldent Wilson. He did not attempt to test his rights, however, abiding by a request of Mrs. Wilson that they not be printed. Dl'wer of Dog Sle(i Hit as It Is Overturned | Newport, N. H,, Jan. 21 (®—The mail dog sled team driven by Post- | master A. W. Pulsifer of Minot, Me:, | and bound for Albany, N.

Granlapd ,announcer of station WHN, who has called upon many notables for impromptu enter- tainment, has tales to tell about several of them. For instance, Gene Tunney, heavyweight champion of fistiana, and Captain Charles Nungesser, fly- ing ace of France, Granlund says, were extremely uneasy during their first efforts at broadcasting. Jolson Gets Chummy. Picking out prominent personages |at a banquet, ball or Broadway sup- per club, Granlund introduces each | briefly and hands him the “mike.” | The result is an extemporaneous pro- gram of songs, stories, speeches, | stammers and stutters. Here are a few of the announcer's observations: Al Jolson is chummy with the “mike.” So much 50 that he once used it to broadcast instructions for putting his adopted family to bed and for telling his dog at home to stop barking at its master’s voice. Charlie Chaplin makes a practice |of declining invitations to Lroadcast his voice. Captain Nungesser brought down 44 enemy airplanes in the war, but was so rattled before the micro- phone that he had to be constantly prompted. Clllu?r Given Lesson. Jack Dempsey, having become | sqmewhat of a veteran at broadcast- ing, is fully at ease when called up- {on to say a few words. An innovation was introduced by Granlund in July, 1925, when he héd the microphone to Dave Shade just before the latter’s fight with | Jimmy Slattery. “I am going out there to win just as quick as I can,” | Shade said, and 10 minutes later he | was back to tell the world, and par- ticularly Mrs. Shade that he had | knocked out Slattery in the third | round. A willing entertainer has been "[Dund by Granlund in “Sir” Joseph | Ginzburg, a Broadway character .who the announcer says, showed Eddie Cantor how to sing. Cantor dropped into a studio to \broadcast a few songs and stories. “Sir Joseph” was present and,con- | sented to contribute a solo for the | instruction of the comedian. Cantor, | | who has had some experiénce with | songs, so enjoyed the lesson that he was overcome with laughter.

Coats, cotton manufac- turers. James Coats, who founded the business in 1824, became a mill- ionaire, as did his three sons, and all their grandsons. The present head of the family is | the young Lord Glentanar, a direc- tor of the firm, a former officer in the Black Watch, and one of Bri- tain’s most “eligible’ bachelors. His father left a fortune of nearly 5,000,- 000 francs. James (oats started his business in the Scottish village of Ferguslie. ‘When the father and son James died the business passed into the hands of Thomas and Peter. Peter was !knighted and had a son who became | Sir James Coats. His brother Thomas was father of the first baron in the |Coats family, Lord Glentanar, father ‘of the present senior member.

Ford said (as reported from a Boston interview) last Tuesday: “‘The country has a headache and it’s got to fast for a while until its stomach is back in order. Installment buying is the headache.” Here in New Britain, for sixteen years, thousands of people have not suffered the “headache of credit buying” because they bought at Raphael’s, New Britain’s cash department store.
