...enough time from his Wall Street brokerage business (Taylor, Bates & Co.) to hunt woodcock, grouse, pheasant at the ancient Blooming Grove Hunting and Fishing Club in Pike County, Pa., to shoot in South Carolina and the Florida fiats. He finds time also to be President of Manhattan's Leash Club, of the Morris County Golf Club, N. J. and he knows dogs. One of only four dogs which have twice won Westminster's Best in Show-all four were fox terriers-was John Bates's wire Ch. Pendley Calling of Blarney, in 1930 and 1931. Seven times...
...attempt to reinvade Broadway in 1936, Josephine Baker has remained in Europe ever since. Parisians loved her shrill, piping soprano, her lacquered hair and extravagant clothes, her habit of dancing nude but for a girdle of artificial bananas. She paraded the streets of Budapest with two swans on a leash, kept a perfumed pig in her Paris nightclub. In 1937, Josie Baker announced to the world her marriage to an Italian count, one Pepito di Abatino. Research proved first that the count's title was bogus, next that they were not married. But married in earnest was Josephine Baker...
...bands. All guests sported gaudy paper hats and the Governors wore huge paper-plate buttons identifying them as their State's "big shot" (see cut). Connecticut's 75-year-old Wilbur ("Uncle Toby") Cross beamed on a pretty "gypsy girl," who escorted a "polar bear" on a leash. When a "monkey" beat up a "lion," Maine's Barrows observed dryly: "We always handle Democrats that way." South Carolina's Johnston danced with Host Hoffman's secretary. Utah's Blood was attentive to the wife of North Carolina's Hoey. Neither the Governor...
Simone Simon, 19, was so thoroughly in dulged by her father, a French engineer, that in Madagascar, where he is running a graphite mine, he allowed her to roam the streets with two cub panthers on a leash. Back in Paris she went to art school, followed the well-worn course into musical comedy bits. One day W. Tourjansky, free-lance director, saw her in a street cafe, addressed a soft remark to her. She slapped his face. Impressed, he tested her, cast her as Pierrette in Chanteur Inconnu opposite Opera Singer Lucien Muratore. She made Le Roi des Palaces...
...Charitable Eye & Ear Infirmary, she replied that she had not known there was a charitable eye or ear in Boston. She drank beer at "Pop" concerts at Symphony Hall when ladies were furtively sipping sherry in the parlor. She walked down Tremont Street with a lion on a leash. Once when she missed a rendezvous with a coaching party she chartered a locomotive which she drove herself at 80 m.p.h. to overtake it. She was supposed to have paid Pianist Paderewski $3,000 to play for her and one guest at tea. When Mascagni conducted at the opening...
