Dear Joseph: Remember the nite at the Hollywood when we were talking about the icy nerves of professional gamblers? Well, sir, two nites ago, one of them walked in to Myrt Wertheimer's Royal Palm Club, and you can judge whether he was game or fool hardy The "spotters in the room wander from table to table, keep Ing an eye on the dealers and the players to see that nothing crooked occurs This one player attracted immediate attention because he was betting $50 on a sucker bet and winning Two of the "spot ters" moved in on both sides of him Instead of rolling the dice out of the leather cup, he was rolling one out of the cup and one out of his hand, and the dice in his hand kept coming up as a six They tapped him on the shoulder after three rolls, but he got away with $1000 and probably a punch in the nose Joe Louis doesn't get paid that much for a punch in the nose Wertheimer tells me the most unusual dice cheater he ever encountered was a fellow who came in with his right hand in a plaster cast But the plaster cast screened the dice from view, and his fellow could throw points all nite long I had a peculiar accident this morning, by the way I hurt my right hand, and I am now wearing a plaster cast on it I may drop into the Royal Palm tonite. anemic pal, Ed. An Open Letter to Ed (Rainbow Room) Seay: Dear Ed: If you are looking for a swell dancing attraction atop Radio City, sign Dorothy Fox and her partner, Charles Ames They are appearing at Dempsey's Vanderbilt, and you'll remember her IJrom the combination of Fox and Walters She is, without doubt, one of the smoothest numbers that ever came out of St. Louis, and her new partner is a huge improvement Now don't say I didn't tell you. Best, Ed.

An Open Letter to Nick Blair: Dear Nick: Understand your new show has plenty of ginger and sock, but you can file these thoughts away for future reference when looking for acts Ruth Terry is the best of the new crop of swing singers, and this kid is going places quickly, a cut looker, who can warble hot Terry Lawlor worked for you, but you'd never recognize the Florida edition of this redheaded little Irish girl At the 2 A. M. show this morning, she had to sing six songs and then begged off Tell Nick Prounis, a Versailes, that Ramon and Renia would be a good buy for him, and when you see Ramon's take off on Tony De Marco, I'll guarantee you'll roll on Mr. Prounis' carpet The guy has been hiding out as a dancer, and then suddenly bobs up with the iiirst new dancing idea since Irene Castle bobbed her hair Hope you are all freezing. Regards, Ed Sullivan.

An Open Letter to Grand Street Boys: Gentlemen; I appreciate your idea of giving me a dinner, but must turn it down as I'd feel too silly However, I'll take Jonah Goldstein to Dinty Moore's any nite he suggests for some corned beef and cabbage, the only proviso Tbeing no speeches, some Enghsh'mus tard, beer and two slices of apple pie. "Sincerely, E. S. An Open Letter to Grover Whalen: Dear Mr. Whalen: In lining up the World's Fair program for New York City, there are two money makers that might be considered Horse racing and dog racing So long as people insist on gambling, New York City may as well get part of the swag, and I'll guarantee that hoss racing and dog racing will bring in more revenue and retire more bonds than any other two things you can hit upon The most strenuous objectors to this thought will not be the church people Your real objections will come from the horse track and dog track operators, because they're doing very nicely, and they want no opposition.

Sincerely. Ed Sullivan. Copyright 1937 by Chicago Tribune N. Y. News Syndicate Inc.

C. A. HOLLYWOOD The "awkward age" is a hopeless barrier for the majority of child actresses. Adolescence brings retirement, perm anent or temporary. Hollywood has three youngsters now, however, who are hurdling the barrier on wings of song.

With out those wings, this trio Deanna Durbin, Judy Garland, and June Ray doubtless would be forced to wait a while. Only June, who is a year or two this side of the long' legged stage, might have a brief fling in the sunshine. Three Stay On Only three of the present crop of grown up actresses stayed on the screen throughout those ado' lescent years. Lila Lee did it by playing leading ladies when she was in her early 'teens. Anita Louise played little girls and then all of a sudden, began playing leads.

Anne Shirley wore little girl dresses as long as she could and then, when the dangerous age arrived, began dressing like an ingenue. Madge Evans, a child star, chose retirement altogether, returning as a full fledged leading lady. Baby Peggy Montgomery vanished as did Baby Marie Os borne. Both have returned without great success. But with song, a different future looms for Deanna, Judy and June.

Deanna Durbin, debuting in "Three Smart Girls," is rated among the leading discoveries of the past year. Just turned 14, the age when other children are bow ing out, Deanna came in. Deanna was under contract to Metro briefly, at the same time another youngster was there. Together Deanna and Judy Garland appeared in a musical short, but that was all. As frequently happens, the studio had nothing in particular for them to do.

Deanna was released (to go to Universal) and Judy was easily borrowed by 20th Century for "Pigskin Parade," Judy had had about eight years' stage experience, and she was waiting to plough into a picture opportunity. Deanna's warbling is lyric, coloratura. Judy is a disciple of red hot swing. She got off sev eral numbers in the gridiron musi cal and few realized that she was just a child of 14. June Ray, who was just 11 Jan uary 8, has yet to be heard in pic tures.

Like Judy, she specializes in popular songs. June (real name Alice June Raetz) tried out for an amateur contest, but the man in charge took her to Jack Haley, who interested Hal Roach. She is in "Pick A. Star." ON THE RECORD By DOROTHY THOMPSON (Continued From Editorial Page) For Norman Davis: "Look For' Haile Selassie: "A Passage to Indta." For John L.
