io M2 BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1937 oimffi Places Many Stars Prepare for March Nightclub Parade Broadway Newsreel iff- -By Hy Gardner if It m1 km REPORTS from the Coast insist that glamour-gal Garbo has made her last picture, a throat Infection not only endangering her caieer but life The next headline to concern Harry Richman will involve the name of a prominent woman, now married, who will obtain a divorce so she can become Mrs. Harry Ironically enof, Richman's flying partner, Dick Merrill, typographically engaged to wed Songbird Bernlce Claire every other edition, won't her sweetie is a Montrealad and if you no believe check her toll tabs At a party thrown at the Dempsey-Vanderbilt for Ted Husing Sunday, Jimmy Cannon took the floor and made an eloquent plea before ringseated Jim Far-ley, asking for postage stamp credit so he could write home for rpHE hottest thing we left in Miami was Dottie Dey, Lenny Lyons and Ed Sullivan belting each other around with wholehearted sincerity. Now this is one scrap I'm content to view from the bylines. I like Dottie, I like Lenny and Eddie and I buried the hatchet Christmas Eve so I've no ax to grind. But before I dismiss the melee completely there's one comment I must get off my chest.

In taking what was intended as a sarcastic slam at the News columnist Lyons said Sullivan was "the coming Bide Dudley." Which, to me, is the height of flattery. For Dudley, after more than a decade of columning, still commands the respect and the affection of his fellow fourth estaters and radio colleagues and is too grand a gentleman to be used as the missile to flay a third party in a columnistic free-for-all. Around The Tabled ujith Un WE APPARENTLY precipitated a miniature civil war last week when we extolled the virtues of Brad Dewey's Brooklyn Cocktail, serve at Gage Tollners. First to brandish the tomakawk of indignation at the King scalp was Gustavus Augustus Just "Gus" to most of us at the Hotel Bossert's "61" Room. "The real Brooklyn Cocktail," exclaimed Gus, "consists of one-third Italian Vermouth, two-thirds gin and a dash of bitters.

Any deviation from that formula is treason." Ha offered the additional Instruction, "Shake well, and be shaken." "What! A Brooklyn Cocktail with rum," Joe at the St. George Bar hissed venomously. "I've been tending bars for 20 years and this, my misinformed friend. Is the real Brooklyn Cocktail: Jigger rye, one ounce French Vermouth, dash of maraschino and a dash of American Picon." "Bob," who is the mixologist for the discriminating folk at the Towers Hotel, seemed more disappointed in our judgment than indignant. "A Brooklyn Cocktail." said Bob, "is so well known it can be made with only one-half French Vermouth, one-half rye, a dash of American Picon and twist of orange peel." Well, there you are, except for this ringing note from the Old Clarendon Restaurant "We don't care what cocktail your readers like, ours are twice as good as anyone else's, because they are twice as big.

Put that in your pipe and typewrite it." Now we are in a quandary. Many of our friends, much older than this drinking novitiate, insist that the Dewey concoction is the one and only Brooklyn Cocktail. One thing is certain! Are we men or meece? Are we to allow the Bronx and Manhattan Cocktails continue in popularity while we quibble over a Brooklyn official drink? (Thunderous response of "Noes." Then write in, loyal Brooklynltes, and give us your recommendations for a Brooklyn Cocktail. A board of Judges will be appointed by this pillar of borough independence and the word of the judges will be final. Please take pen in hand at once and voice your opinion in this issue of paramount importance to us all.
