Sideline Seat. Nowadays, Columnist Rose is waist-deep in the fanciest possible metaphors. At its best, his talk combines the shriller styles of E. E. Cummings, a nightspot headwaiter, P. T. Barnum and a Polo Grounds peanut vendor. But he flavors this potpourri with a cynical wit.

...Creek and Flathead tribes wailed, danced, and thumped tom toms. The occasion: the tribes' annual Root Festival, when members thank the Great Spirit for causing the roots to ripen and the salmon to run.

Margaret Dumont, accused by Groucho of looking like an old tenement, is the perfect foil through bedroom to parlor to bedroom. If S.J. Perelman did not invent the gags there...
