Franco, who/Wina now safe in Portugal, states that he was to have dropped air bombs on the palace of King Alphonso. But he didn’t drop those bombs.

The disturbance started when Prince Louis II, the.ru!er of Monaco, returned to his dominion. He is seldom seen in his little kingdom. He lives mostly in Paris and devotes himself to scientific research. The inhabitants of Monaco say th at he devotes too much time to science, and neglects his subjects.

And hy do British golfers curl up and rass out of the picture v hen Bobbj* Jones is "leyin.- over there? ’ell , here' s the answer-it's the fog. The British don't get enough sunlight, and th't’s vhy they c-n't h^ld their own in shorts. This big sicret, the i:e,; York r*u tells us, w s let out by the fciaous British surgeon, Sir .7111 ias Arbuthnot Lena, Sir ’Villiam Arbuthjt Lane rays that sunlight quickens "eorle, hence the British are a lowed up by their lack of sunlight.

It is printed in the New York L v e nin g Post and comes from m r t hu r Bodanzky, director of the Society of the Friends of tvsus i c and conductor of German opera at The famous tVietr opo I i tan Opera House. The first thing Ur. Bodanzky Tackles is The problem of people who come in iate to the opera., He says they help things great I y,''And he advocates that the Metropolitan Opera House adopt a rule not allowing any opera goer to enter the auditorium until the opera has begun. Herr jaasJxmakyx Bodanzky also urges opera goers to make as much ot a clatter with their seats as possible. In other words, slam 'em down with a bang I He says the banging of seats is sweeter to the ear of the great singer or the conductor than the heartiest applause. There ought to be a rule that everybody should buy a program and a i j \! j m 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 2 3 24 25 2 QP£uA - 2 Page. libretto — not to read, however, but merely to rustle* hie savs i t 1 s astonish ing what a striking and picturesque effect you can get by having a few thousand people rustle a few thousand pages simultaneously* Herr Bodanzky adds that the ladies can cooperate by bringing handbags and vanity cases that have a particularly loud snap. He even suggests tuning these snaps so as to be in key with the music on the s t a a e . He insists too that every opera goer should remember that it is a good thing to talk when the music is being played. And he particularly urges that people in the front row talk as loudly and interestingly as possible so as to keep the conductor and orchestra amused. x is £ & All of which leads us to believe that Herr Bodanzky is razzing us and being slightly sarcastic. but i guess ; aM we'll all aoree that he is right and that we deserve to be scolded now and then .ell that reminds me of my friend GTTRA - 3 Count Lucknei , tii : jolly old Sea Devil, who went to the wrong 0 ere once ano got into the wrong seat. Yes and. he 3tSK even 1 or got it v > k . s one ol those seats that snan ud and when he vj'ent to sit down he suddenly found hixself sitting on the floor.' I wonder if Herr Bodanrky would ap-rove of that. % 'hell, those remarks about arriving late st the onera bring me to a disnatch tkKi which I am using as perhans the most interesting item in the news this afternoon. BRIDES !■ y Nev;s Item of the Day was picked for me by Mrs-. • *il liam Bro..n i, e 1 oney, the brilliant editor of the New York - ^ - c xT 1 1 un e- Sund.- y i.egazlne. "I don * t know what you men think", said ivrs. ieloney, Mbut this story about brides amused me more than ±x anything I read In the papers today.n a It certainly is tough break for lovely young would-be brides, but then when a Cardinal speaks he expects obedience, and generally gets it. Here's the story: n- United Tress dispatch from Paris says that the clergy in France have been having a lot of tiasax ti-ouble with brides who show up late at their own weddings. The ceremony Is ready to proceed and everybody is there:- that is, everybody but the bride, who came: in eny here from a half hour to two hours late, -yell, this finally came to the notice of Cardinal Yerdier who thought something ought to be none. So he issued an order that parrlsh priests should not xxxsx wait more than fifteen minutes for the arrival of a bride. If the lady wasn’t there, why the priest was to go right ahead with the mass and call off BRIDES - 2 t/iie re. u of t.ie ceremony. Evidently a lot of tirides thought the Ordinal was just joshing. But they didn't know the Cardinal, Marriage ceremonies went right ahead and as a result brides soon were rushing breathlessly. But many a French bride, says the United press, arrived to find herself too late for her won wedding, and with the wedding definitely zi called off. '.fell, it's surely tough luck for a young bride to be late at her wedding. But it’s xxsis even worse for a radio news broadcaster to be late in finishing up his -niece. There isn't any ma jestic red-robed Cardinal frowning at me her , but there is a stern and gloomy Scotchman. I mean Mac here in the controx room, and I can see from the look on his face that if I don't cuit right now I'll be late. I'm going uo a banquet tonight -with a lot of famous aviators. I wish you could all Kxara® come along. Well, SC LONG UNTIL TOMORROW.
