The Passing Show
President's Golf Is Good
—As Material for Hope
By Joy Carmody
Baseball columnists, a ferociously provincial type, may not
be happy that President Dwight D. Eisenhower is a golfer. ...
It is different with comedians and masters of ceremonies. ...
The President’s golf provides them with material, as for example, i
Bob Hope’s zestful five minutes at the Playhouse’s glittery bene
fit premiere of “The Star.”
Hope and the top-flight audience at the Cancer Society bene
fit had a happy time with his<-
account of playing Burning Tree
with Golfer Eisenhower. . . .
The comedian came out of 18
holes with the President with
more material than all comics
everywhere got out of 20 years
of Democrats tossing out first;
balls. . . . Yet nowhere in Hope’s
amiable jests did he get close i
to the genuine news of playing
golf with the President. . . . I
Come to think of it, he never
even mentioned his own score.
. . . This, of course, is a tradi
tional and somehow widely ac
cepted form of news suppression.
. . . Golfers have been suppress
ing their scores since the game
was devised by the misanthropic
Scots. . . . Even the pros do it
under the heading “No card.”
** * *
GIRL AT LARGE: Roberta
Haynes, whose movie career be
gan spectacularly with her role
being edited completely out of
“High Noon,” is being sent
around the country meeting the
press and the people by United
Artists. . . . Miss Haynes, whose
reward for losing out in “High
Noon” is the starring role op
posite Gary Cooper in “Return
to Paradise,” looks a great deal
like a famous star of a decade
and one-half ago.
“Does everybody,” this depart- |
ment asked her, “say you remind
them of Luise Rainier?” . . .;
“Not everybody,” Miss Haynes 1
said, just a little crisply. . . . j
Miss Haynes, born in Texas, is
something of a mixture of those !
stately girls which are reportedly
the only kind that grow in Texas.
. . . She is even smaller than
Mary Martin, another diminu
tive Texan.
Miss Haynes is an avid reader
and is more impressed by writers
than by most other types. . . . j
Her one regret about making
“Return to Paradise,” which took
her to Samoa for five months, is
that she didn’t meet James A.
Michener. ... He not only wrote
the original novel but, being an •
experimentalist at heart, did the |
acreenscript, with some technical;
assistance from some pros at this i
aort of thing. ... To understand
so well the Pacific island peoples
and to have such an affection for
them indicates to Miss Haynes:
that Michener must be quite a ;
man, gentle, and wise and tran- j
qull even in a world as wobbly !
as this one.

Man Blamed in 70 Holdups
Gets 10-to-30 Year Term
A 25-year-old man, who police
said admitted 10 holdups, was
given consecutive sentences yes- j
terday totaling 10 to 30 years for |
three armed robberies and the
shooting and wounding of a po
liceman.
The defendant Is Eugene E.
Epps, colored, of the 100 block of
Bladensburg road N.E. He was
sentenced by Judge Luther W.
Youngdahl of the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum
bia.
Got $1,850 in Robbery.
Epps’ largest single haul was ;
$1,830 from the real estate office
of B. Leonard Co., in the 500 ,
block of Fourth street S.W., last
January 26. He pleaded guilty j
to that robbery, also to a $491 !
robbery of a liquor store in the
1300 block of Ninth street N.W.; j
a $lO4 robbery of the National
Truck Rental Co., 2300 block of
Georgia avenue N.W., and as
sault with intent to rob the pro
prietor of a dress shop in the
1200 block of U street N.W.
Judge Youngdahl gave Epps
sentences of two to six years on
each of the three robberies and
the attempted robbery and or- j
dered the sentences to run con
secutively. The judge gave him an j
additional two to six years for |
shooting and wounding Police
Pvt. Joseph H. Rhodes, who !
walked in during the course of

robbery.
Brothers Sentenced.
In another series of sentences,
two brothers received long prison
terms for housebreakings, but the
sentences were ordered to run
concurrently.
They are Rozier A. Punch, 21,
who was given from 5 to 15 years,
and James M. Punch, 19, who
was given from 3 to 10 years by
Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut.
The brothers are colored and i
both lived in the 2300 block of

housebreaking and larcenies.
Rozier. pleaded guilty to single
counts of housebreaking into
two offices in a building at 1609;
Connecticut avenue N.W., and to
breaking into a third office there
and taking $7 worth of stamps.
The dismissed charges accused
him and his brother of stealing j

LUND SPEAKING: It was
Lund, incidentally, who came up
with what very probabaly is the
remark of the week . . . Describ
ing the course of liberalism, he j
said: “Now that it is the fashion
for everybody to insist he was
a reactionary before anybody
elese • * •
Lund, who went to Hollywood
several years ago under con
tract to Paramount, is satisfied
with the new arrangement under!
which actors are mostly free
agents . . . “No one flings you
into pictures so fast you don’t
know in which you’re working,”
he says . . . “And, when produc
tion is lax, you don’t have to
listen to executives whispering
into phones: ‘How’d you like to
use a popular young actor in your
play?’ ”
It suits Lund that he can now
go anywhere, radio, television. !
movies or stage.

; HER HERO: Washingtonian
| Miss Margaret Webster was most
! overjoyed to meet was former
Secretary of State Dean Ache
son . . . Why? . . . “Well,” she
says in the most impressive voice
Washington has heard in sea
! sons, “when I used to read what
; the critics had to say of my act
| ing, or a play I had directed, I
always thought if the Secretary
could take what was said of him,
I could stand anything anyone
said of me.”

Floor Show
Spotlight
Scene Is Brightened
By Dorothy Shay
And Betty George
A pair of the town’s more
popular dine-and-dance estab
lishments are making it difficult
for a man to think of staying
home at night right now. It
may even be foolish to think of
it. The week brought Betty j
George to the Sazerac Room at'
the Old New Orleans and
Dorothy Shay to the Embassy j
Room at the Statler.
Each, in her own field, is
pretty special. To have both
present at the same time is an
abundance that can only
brighten the local scene.
Miss Shay is something of a
Statler regular by now and she
and Embassy Room audiences
get along Just fine. She is, as
almost everybody must know,
the only one of her kind with
her application of slick sophis
tication to highly comic songs.
Admirers of the Park Avenue
Hillbillie would be happy to lis
ten to her for hours on end and
it may eventually come to that.
She keeps adding new songs in
the interest of freshness and she
keeps getting requests for old
favorites.
One item sure to become a
standard part of the Shay re
pertoire is a fine comic ditty i

S. Z. “Cuddles” Sakall stars on

that’s no lie.
If Scott Brady hadn’t asked
for so much money, he could
have teamed with Judy Holliday

Lawford tested for the part on
Monday.
And while we re on the sub

he put Ginger Rogers and her

! the Old New Orleans. The tall:
and beauteous brunette’s ma-;
; terial may be more conventional,
but there is nothing conven-,
tional about her delivery of it. ;
Miss George is an incan
descent personality and she has
a fine way with a ballad that
really brings it to life. Come to
think of it, there is nothing at
all conventional about the
George number which usually
gets the best reception. It’s a
Greek folk song and she is as
effective in Greek as in any other
language. Miss George is real
George, that’s what.
The Old New Orleans show
also has a pair of Sazerac Room
regulars, Singer-Pianist Les Wil

named Anatole, both able men.
