"Names make news." Last -week these names made this news:

In Minneapolis' Municipal Auditorium appeared freckle-faced, earnest Actress Eva Le Gallienne to auction off four cakes at a Roosevelt birthday ball. Briskly she banged a gavel, exhorted 4,000 shuffling, indifferent dancers through a microphone: "These cakes represent something! They represent the struggle of a man to overcome a tremendous physical handicap. ... I wasn't born in America, but I'll buy that cake myself for $15.'' The crowd booed and heckled when she called for bids, forcing her to knock down the cake for $20. Even hotter than she was two months ago while dressing down a ladies' lecture club in Philadelphia (TIME, Dec. 11), Actress Le Gallienne threw down the gavel, stormed into the micro phone: "I came to Minneapolis proud of my Viking ancestry. I'm still proud of it. You can't be Vikings. . . . You are lousy Americans! Unpatriotic dullards!" The crowd howled and jeered as angry Actress Le Gallienne swept from the platform.

Rumors that he was planning to campaign for election as a U. S. Representative from Connecticut, said James Joseph ("Gene") Tunney in Manhattan, "are a figment of fiction, for I really have no political aspiration. The only cause I'm taking up is woman suffrage. I mean woman suffrage in a broader scope than is allowed by law. I mean whether they should be allowed to sip cocktails at the bar in the Marguery, at Pierre's, at the Park Lane and the Waldorf-Astoria."
