THE VOICE OF
Broadway
By Louis Sobol
Snapshots at Random!
A stoop-shouldered, little old
man approaches oui cab driver
on 50th near the Rockefeller Cen
ter, Tuesday fatrenoon during a
traffic halt.. .“42," he cries in a
quavering voice, “42” ..“How
much?” demands the cabbie...
“Dollar fifty"...The driver leaps
down and tries on an overcoat
the peddler has on his arm...“A
sale," he says and hands over the
money...As we drive on, he in
forms me that Pop is a familiar
figure along the street, dealing al
most exclusively with the cab
drivers... He sells secondhand
overcoats and suits and almost
any afternoon you can see him
and hear him along 50th St., yell
ing “42,” or “36,” or “44”—the size
of the garments he has for sale.
At the New Yorker, Saturday
night, Abe Lyman discussing the
Gypsy Rose Lee robbery, mur
murs: “In all the years I’ve known
her, this is the first time Gypsy’s
taken anything off—without mu
sic and applause"... Four chin
chilla coats parade down the aisle
at the Tuesday night premiere of
the Noel Coward-Gertrude Law
rence sketches at the National
(“Tonight at 8:30), which
prompts buxom Alison Skipworth
to remark so it can be heard all
over the house “Communistic
plot!".. .Shy, Tommy Manville,
jr„ kisses the hand of his com
panion, blonde Alice Wallace —but
no cameramen are near.. Gilbert
Roland and Constance Bennett
stand in back for most of the
first act until the confusion over
their seats is settled.
“Peaches” Browning, still
thinning out, is at Joe Zelli’s
Royal Box. Wednesday night,
attracting more attention
than the distinguished Hendrik
Von Loon, historian at an ad
joining table... Loudest in her
applause for the thrill-voiced
French Rachel Carlay is Ethel
Merman... This Carlay lass, in
cidentally, is a sensational new
comer to New York night life
and has what Lucienne Boyer
never had—a magnificent pair
of pipes . Friday in the lobby
of the Ethel Barrymore Thea
ter, Cole Porter introduces Fan
nie Brice to Cinemagun James
Stewart and a few seconds
later Fannie thrills her young
daughter by Introducing her to
the boyish Stewart.
Jackie Moffett, just in from
the Coast, is at El Morocco Tues
day night—in sombre m00d...
The tragic death of his brother
in-law, Winky Brooks, is the rea
son for his visit here...“l’ll stay
until Adelaide leaves for England
next week—then I’ll go back to
the Coast”...The young widow
will sail with Lady Astor... E
rnest Truex and Charles Mac-
Arthur hover near the desk tele
phone at Jack and Charlie’s,
while Jimmy is conveying some
mystic message... “A fellow’s
better off fighting at the front,”
remarks MacArthur, apropos of
nothing. “If you’ve got the
proper clothes”.. .Maxie Rosen
bloom escorts Joan Abbott and
Dorothy Gulman to the Kit Kat
Club...“l’m staying around until
they get it settled... “Get what
settled?" asks a reporter... “Me
and this Joe Louis is going to
fight on the Coast in February—
for the hospital fund”.. .“How’ll
you make out with nim—if—and
when?”... “Me? — nobody, black
nor white, ever gets the ( bombing
Maxie down!"...
Jack Dempsey, puffing away
at a huge cigar, Friday night
at his restaurant, is rebuked
by Hannah Williams “You
told me you wouldn’t,” she
protests... “I’m going to cut
down on them—l smoke 40 a
day now—l’m cutting down to
30 beginning tomorrow”.. Fri
day night at El Morocco, Toni
Chase with Mme. Cherie.. This
is the former showgal who went
to Europe and became Sandra
Rambeau’s closest rival for the
affection of the multi-million
aire Maharajahs . She’s back
now with ruby and diamond
bracelets up to both elbows and
a few hidden around her
shapely ankles.. “Europe," she
sighs, “is wonderful” .Later
at the Hollywood restaurant

Famous Beauties Secret
Is Exercise, Relaxation
By IDA JEAN KAIN
Delving into the secrets of the famous beauties, we find
nothing more mysterious than exercise and relaxation as their
formula for looking younger and younger and lovelier every
year.
Each actress has her own ‘
method of keeping in trim, but all
of them head their list of beauty
miracle workers with exercise and
relaxation.
We don’t ordinarily think of re
laxation as an ingredient of glam-

our, yet Kay Francis, that fascinat
ing star, claims that relaxing is
her favorite beauty formula, for it
softens taut muscles and* quiets
jumpy nerves.
Tension is never lovely, and any
thing that affects the nervous sys
tem unfavorably is disastrous to
beauty.
Sleep and relaxation, according'

to the lovely Mary Garden, com
pose the “fountain of youth and
beauty in disguise”. Miss Garden
advises that if you do nothing
more for your looks, relax com
pletely for 15 minutes every day.
Eva Le Gallienne finds in re
laxation a “fountain of energy”,
and has captured the art so com
pletely that after a rehearsal,
whenever she feels the need, she
can flop down and get 10 minutes’
sleep.
You don’t have to be an actress
to benefit from relaxing. We
know an office worker who makes
a habit of lying down for a cat
nap before dinner every evening.
She is past 30, but she has a
peaches and cream complexion
that would do credit to a 16 year
old!
Tense, highly strung people
couldn't go to sleep in the day
time if they were paid for it,
whereas the relaxed person takes
a beauty nap and keeps the
wrinkles away.
It’s tension that makes wrinkles.
The need of relaxation is now
universally recognized, and there
are rhythm classes for relaxation,
beauty baths, massage and cor
rective exercises—all of which
teach you to relax.
Among the books on the sub
ject are “You Must Relax,” written
by Jacobson for the average per
son, and a more scientific treat
ment. “Progressive Relaxation,”
by the same author, and "Resi
dual Neuromuscular Hyperten
sion,” by Rathbone.
Before you can completely re
lax, you must have a normal
amount of exercise. You cannot
always relax when you are tired
from sedentary w»rk. With ra
tional exercise, the nervous sys-

BELLE HAVEN
BELLE HAVEN, Fairfax county,
Va„ Dec. 2. —Residents of the Belle
Haven subdivision, one of Alexan
dria’s most exclusive residential
sections, are highly pleased with
the recently installed city mail
service, it was stated here today
by Owen Lynch, Alexandria post
master, who assisted In having the
service inaugurated.
Approximately 100 homes are
now being given two deliveries
daily under the new plan, instead
of the one delivery under the for
mer rural classification, Mr.
Lynch pointed out.
Since the subdivision is located
outside of the city limits, special
authority from the United States
Post Ofice Department had to be
obtained in order to establish the
city service in this section.
Recommendations to Include
this section in the city’s regular
service were made by Postmaster
Lynch following requests from
virtually every home owner in the
section.
Shortly before the service was
established here, the Belle Haven
Citizens Association, composed of
nearly every resident of the subdi
vision, approved a resolution to
apply for the regular city mail
delivery.
