all communities, Broadway Is the for taking casual attitude toward i a Ions anywhere else would start Social conniptions. A divorced couple, for stance, may very welJ go out on double dates with two other persons without a ing stares or cotp- ment. So a little thinfr like suing a friend for a little needn't nec- mean a breach in an acquaintanceship. I was sitting to Shor's the other evening, passing the time with Margie Hart, ip teaser who at the moment was expensively and impletely dressed to the ear lobes, fier snazzy platlna coat casually tossed over the back of the chair. With us was Eddie Jnffe, Mar- Ele's former press agent, the young ellow who coined a descriptive phrase which caused a good deaj of extra attention to be paid to this notable ccdysiast, stripper to you.

Eddie used to refer to Margie In his publicity releases as "The poor man's Garbo," a somewhat oblique title which caught the burlesque public's fancy, brought in the mob nnd subsequently upped the handsome young lady's weekly fees past the $1,000 a week mark for the first time in her life, thereby enabling her, I suppose, to purchase a good deal more of the bare necessities, you'll pardon the that may or may not the naked truth. Anywny, this chummy chat was being carried on as If nothing had ever happened between Margie and Jeffo which might have threatened their amiable relations. In fact, Margie being sued by Eddie for certain publicity fees, which litigation Jaffe ultimately won, apparently never stopped their pleasant personal relationship. As we there, another target of one of Jaffe's suits, Comic Jackie Gleason, hove in sight past the headwaiter. Eddie Is legally on'the trail of Jackie for several hundred bob Jaffe says is his due, which Gleason amiably denies.

But does this keep Gleason and Jaffe from being pals? Not at all! Just something else to have in common, although the only suit each of them can utilize jointly, for Eddie weighs about 125 soaWhg wet and Gleason tins the Toledo at 225; give or take a few. Gleason blithely tripped up to our table and In the friendliest possible fashion said to Eddie: "Hello, party of the first part!" Which caused a loud guffaw among the assembled Shor set, all of whom are quite aware of the amusing Implications of the Incident. Whereupon Margie reminded all in hearing that she, too, had been sued by Jaffe, and that she could give Gleason some smart advice on what to do that she didri't do in her losing fight. Gleason said he didn't need any of Margie's Hartf elt help. "He hasn't got a case," Jackie said.

"I already drank It." Jean Moorhead was a dancing feature of Olsen and Johnson's "Laughing Eoom Only" when that dizzy theatrical was keeping everyone within blocks of the Winter Garden Theater awake evenings during its run. She also was a member of the cast of "DuBarry Was a Lady." Now having put slightly behind her the more athletic side of dancing, Jean prefers to "devote her terpslchorean career to teaching. She has become one of the dancing brain, trust of Fred Astaire's new Manhattan studios, where after ten weeks of personal instruction under Fred's tutelage, she now qualifies as an instructress of a new prancing dance design' called, not oddly, "The Astalre." Gaming Machines Placed In Stores Some Cumberland grocery stores and other business places have a new type of gaming which do not have a handle like the "one armed bandits," or slot machines. They resemble large cabinets, take up to five coins at a time, and pay off in combinations much like slot machines. The new machines operate electrically, and pay off in nlckles, dimes and quarters.

They operate by jmshing a button after the coins have been Inserted. They, have been distributed by one of several "amusement" machine operators say. The new money-paying machines have been placed In cigar stores, restaurants, confectionery stores, beer.parlors and even In service stations throughout the city.
