Latin Quarter Monday. It will be
a return engagement, by popular
demand, for the popular jester.
With him will be Baro and Rog-

The Doleens, three harmonizing
colleens, and other topflight vari-
ety stars.

Mickey Woolf — ahh, God bless
aim, did I tell you that he short-
ened his stay in Florida in order
not to miss the opening of Artle's
band at the club? And he's been
back again and again. . . Now
that's something, really, when one
musician likes to dance to the
strains of another's playing. . .
But, of course, Zero's reputation
for an exhilarating evening's per-
formance had a bit to do with
luring Mickey back. . . Mickey,
by the way, as you know, is no
mean entertainer an3 musician
himself. . . Judging from the
, number of engagements he plays
a montit at parties, engagements
and weddings, I wonder if there
are any left for the rest of the
orchestras to handle. Besides, he
owns a very popular and well-
equipped furniture store on the
t East Side. . . Good luck, kid, and
1 with that pretty wife of yours,
too.

On the running list: Samuel
Robinson, former Constable 7th
Ward . . for State Senator 5th
District Wards 8-10-12-14. Sam is
a muddy married man, is of the
Democratic party and has many
friends in Detroit. . . His home
is on Collingwood and Dexter (so
that you don't get your Robinsons
mixed up). .. It is also rumored
via the grapevine that Louie Gra-
ber (who did such a fine service
in governmental departments dur-
ing the war), who boasts a lovely
wife and family and is quite the
man-about-town . . is going out
for the Common Council. . . Good
luck, Lou. We need some fiery

The very personable and ex-
tremely talented Perry Franks
and his charm-
ing and capable
partner Janyce,
are the "dar-
ling kids" (un-
quote audience)
who offer a
world of danc-
i n g entertain-
ment. . . Fea-
tured in the
show "B e s t
Foot Forward,"
they really put
their best feet
forward — Jan-
yce with her
Perry - Janyce graceful a n d
speedy turns
and bends (and what lovely cos-
tumes she has, very tastefully
made and very gracefully worn)
and Perry with his whirlwind, in-
tricate tap routines, leaps, splits
and what would you. . . Zero Mos-
tel, the star of the show, and for
whom Detroit has been clamoring
for a second appearance, eontinues
to stop the show with his zany
antics. . . "Umbreago," but that
"screw-ball" keeps the audience
howling until they double up. . .
He can keep you in stitches
whether he is doing Durante's
"One-Tooth, Half-a-Tooth," or giv-
ing the pantomime impression of
an electric coffee percolator. .
How one person can contort his
face and muscles and produce such
belly-splitting effects is beyond my
meager comprehension. Yessir .
Fate is a funny thing. . . You'd
never know that 'twas not so long
ago that Zero Mostel was just an
ordinary human being like you
or me trying to get along in this
world, eking out a livelihood via
paint brush and pen and as a
speaker. . . Yessir, it's a big jump
from the status of a painter and
art lecturer to that of a- famous
comedian, but Zero Mostel, cur-
rent Lee 'n' Eddie's headliner,
made it with little or no difficulty.
He had never been a professional
entertainer prior to 1942. He en-
tertained no hopes of amusing
people beyond the realm of a
house party or a gathering of the
Mostel clan, yet his footlight ca-
reer has been truly phenomenal.
Ironically enough, it began at a
house party w:ien Zero gave a
very funny answer to a question
by one of the guests. That guest
was a talent scout and Mostel's
fate was sealed — but it was a
kind fate. Radio, movies and the
stage have lifted him to unbeliev-
able heights. He is playing a re-
turn engagement at Lee 'n' Ed-
die's in answer to an unprece-
dented public demand and holds
over for a second and final week
which started Friday, May 17. . .
Others in the supporting cast are
Jackie Fisher, the sensational
singing star of the famed Red
Arrow Division. . . It's both a re-
lief and a treat to get away from
the many "boo-boo-boo" imitators,
the would-be Crosbys and Sinatras,
to hear the silver tones of Jackie's
tenor. . . His "Danny Boy," "Don-
key Serenade," "Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes," and the host of other
well known .tunes he sings, are
"worth the price of admission,"
(were there an admission). I'm
sure there are great things in
store for him as is predicted for
Detroit's own Artie Fields and his
orchestra whose music has been
bringing back dunce enthusiasts
again and again. . . It is music
that is sweeter to the ears and
kinder to the feet . . it's the band
that is making musical history
and features Dottye Greene, Doug
Ryan and the 6-voice glee club,
. . The fascinating Yvonne-Armon
dancers offer dance routines that
round out the evening perfectly.
Both the "Power House" routine
and the "Tribute to April" number
add much to the sparkle of the
show.

Those lovely, lovely hand-made
huge monograms you've seen
'round town
" must be the
ones that ema-
nate thru the
portals of t h e
"Shopping Sec-
retary" via
Margaret Rice.
They are very
smart when
worn on blous-
es, as in the
photo, on pock-
ets of robes,
Margaret Rice pajamas, hand-
bags and just
anywhere that has room for an
initial. . . They're new! They're
different! There're extremely
smart! and they're reasonable.
There are no others like them in
Detroit. If you're initial-minded,
don't fail to call "the Shopping
Secretary."

Brith Young Women will hold ini-

Murray Sabin, the Louis Mar-
shall dynamo, just returned from
the big city where he made con-
nections (we hope) for a new and
varied supply of men's accessories
including white shirts (again we
hope). . . Murray, you know, has
that very smart men's wear shop
in the McKerchey Bldg., Wood-
ward at Adelaide.
•
And talking about men's wear
reminds me to remind you down-
town shoppers that Tom Cotter's
both stores are at your service
wtih a brand new and complete
line of men's needs. . . Everything
from tie racks to fine robes, jack-
ets, sweaters, shirts, sox, hats,
gadgets for his room and what
have you. It's Cotters in the Book-
Cadillac or on Bagley near the
United Artists Theatre.

"Without Dowry," a Soviet film
based on the play of the same
name by the Russian dramatist,
Alexander Ostrovshy, had its De-
troit premiere at the Cinema The-
atre on Wednesday, May 15. . .
Like most of Ostrovshy's dramas,
which were outspoken in their
criticism of contemporary society,
"Without Dowry" was frowned
upon by use sarfst censors, but
enjoyed great popular success.
Today his plays are top-ranking
favorites in the Soviet Union. .
"Without Dowry" stars Nina Ali-
soya, who was seen here recently
in "Military Secret" and "The
Rainbow," and features honored
artist Olga Pyshova and Vassil-
lapopov, and Peoples Artists Mi-
sha Kilmov and Valentina Pyz-
hova. The film was produced in
th- USSR and is released here by
A rkino Pictures, Inc.

Does your house need face
lifting? Do you feel the need of
new surroundings? You'd be sur-
prised what a new coat of paint
or a new roll of wall paper will
do for your room or the entire
home. It gives you that lift you
need .. makes mother more satis-
fied with her lot as housekeeper
. . makes the kids want to stay
home more often. .. Call Ascot.
. . They do excellent paihting and
decorating . . have fine ideas for
color schemes and really and truly
do a good job.

And now, once again, 'tis the

next week's will herald many hap-

a good thing I'm not of the male
species or I'd go hook, line and
