With Sally Fields

The moving finger writes and,
having writ, moves on.
Nor all your piety nor wit
Can live it back to cancel half
a line
Nor all your tears, wash out a
line of it."'
•
How often have I thanked the
stars that the above was one of
my zelige father's creeds and how
often have I been gratified that
he succeeded in installing that
thought to me. It has saved me
so much regret and remorse. It
has taught me that a thing once
said or a wrong once done could
not be repaired, with an "Oh, I'm
sorry" any more than a bruise
from a deliberate kick on the
shins can disappear by the same
token. And so I have piled up a
flock of pleasant incidents, made
a world of friends in my going.
•
One of those friends is Tommy
Dorsey, world renowned orches-
tra leader. One couldn't yell "Sal-
ly" In that tone of voice if one
weren't sincere. And his very
lovely and charming wife, Pat
Dane, was there, too. For a mo-
ment I almost forgot, when I
threw my arms around him, that
wives might be jealous, but not
pretty Pat. . . No wonder, what
competition could I be with my
looks, my age, my figure (nit far
kanem gedacht). . . Anyway 'twas
good seeing both Tommy and Pat,
and the short half hour or so we
spent at Latin Quarter together
will just add another pleasant in-
cident to my souvenir of memo-
ries.
•
Here's one I must tell you. I
think it's a classic though, thank
goodness, 'tis but a story. . . A
pilot was approaching an airfield
and called in "pilot to tower,
pilot to tower, ready to land."
Reply came back, "tower to pilot,
tower to pilot, don't land, ceiling
zero, fly around about half hour."
At end of time, pilot again called
in his desire to land with the
same results. Finally, after a cou-
ple of hours ,of aimless circling,
pilot again called, "pilot to tower,
pilot to tower, running low on
gas, must land, will only last
about 3 minutes, what shall.- I
do?" To which in reply came
fast and clear, "tower to pilot,
tower to pilot, repeat after me
slowly, 'Yisgadahl vi yiskadash
. . Thank God, that's only
a story.

What you've been waiting to
hear for some time now — the
grand opening today of Leonard's
Juvenile Shoes. Every type of - shoe
for the "crib to college" age. Just
left the store . . it's beautiful. . .
The finest display of bootery I've
seen since Pearl. Harbor.. . Don't
miss the opening. — It's today,
Saturday, Feb. 16.. . Sammy Wein,
jeweler, in the same territory, is
opening next Saturday. . . Wish
I were in my baby days, I'd sure
wind up in the toy department of
Kiddieland Furn. Mart, which is
piloted by Nate Bialick (whatta
hunk of man — and he's single,
girls) and Darbe Fielding. I just
saw the most gorgeous line of
stuffed dolls, animals and what
have you that comes out of Graf-
fer Bros., N. Y. Incidentally, the
Graffer boys are former Detroiters
and cousins to Doc and Junie
Rose.

Bali, Bali — what've the natives
on that island got that the Bali
Lounge can't produce? . . Food,
out of this world, "heavenly" pre-
pared served well. . . Drinks —
name your own "potent mixture."
Gals, just take a look at those,
babes on the walls, bursting forth
in "all their glory" — one need
enly to use their imagination and
presto you're transported to Bali

well blended, but nothing sensa-
tional, nothing that another equal-
ly good concert ' wouldn't erase
from one's memory. . . It wasn't
until each soloed that he or she
showed spirit and animation and
made any real impressions. . . El-
eanor Knapp's spirited "Gypsy
Song" from Carmen made her
eyes dance and her voice vibrate.
. . Bonelli's "Barber of Seville"
brought down the house with ap-
plause (the longer he—sang th: ,
fuller and better his tones became
— he showed no tiredness as did
Jagel and Farell towards the end
of the concert, though we must
admit they had a hard and leng-
thy program-13 numbers in all).
. . Farell's solo encore, a Czecho-
Slovakian number, was in my
humble opinion her best, though
she was quite expressive in most
of her renditions. Slim, blond Far-
ell and dark-haired Knapp made
a pretty picture when they did
the duet Viens Mallika from "Lak-
me." . . Summing it all up, I'll
take Walter Hatchek at the piano
any time. There's a pianist that's
undoubtedly half of the show with
any performer.

Looks like I don't know every-
thing. For example, I did not
know that Edith Cugell and her
daughter Billie have been operat-
ing one of the most modern chil-
dren's nurseries in the state for
about 4 years, out Thatcher and
Wyoming way. . . 'Twas the first
permit of its kind granted in
Michigan. It cares for children of
3 and 4 years of age. . . And now,
one of the most beautiful spots
in Northern Michigan on beauti-
ful Lake Charlevoix „and only 6
miles from that city Camp Q.
Gull -- a "co-ed" camp for kid-
dies from 5 to 10 years old. .
Only 50 children at a time . .
Very select .. very carefully staff-
ed with a counsellor for every 4
kiddies. . . Adequate medical care.
. Of course, Edith Cugell's pet
project.
