LISTENING
WALTER WINCHELL is per-
haps the best known enemy of
comedians who use Yiddish
dialect to garner laughs • .. He
has been known to walk out on
these so-called comics, once they
begin making buffoonery at the
expense of ridiculing the Jewish
people . . . Any entertainer who
must use dialect in order to get
the laughs is usually well re-
stricted to that type of delivery
. . . and so cannot be considered
a top-notch comic who can ap-
peal to all people.

A PROFESSOR who c omes
early to class •is quite unusual
. . . In fact, he's in a class by
himself -.• . so, the lads and
lassies planning a birthday cele-
bration for - one of their profs
at Wayne University were to set
things before he arrived • and
have a big birthday cake, com-
plete with lighted candles, wait-
ing on his desk .. • Ludwig
Miller, in charge of preparations
with Joan Canvasser, discovered
he didn't have- any matches .
So put the cake on the chair
back of the desk while he went
to borrow a couple of fire sticks
. . . He was gone only a few
minutes . . . but returned to
find the prof there ahead of
him . . • And oh, how he was
there ! . . . With face wrinkled
up around his closed eyes, the
professor, in all his dignity, was
sitting as if nailed . . . squarely
on his birthday cake!

MOST MUSIC by small combos
it put out by maestro Sammy
Mandrell and his boys out at
Menjo's Supper Cub .. • Sammy
on the sax, Mark Fischer, top
drummer in town, and Bob
Hawkins tickling the black and
white ivories, make dancing a
pleasure to the fine 'selection of
c melodies that are offered with
pan evenly balanced sense of
and
d rhythm.

the boy who always makes the
