Marcella Shields Hears from Former Team Mate as she Sails for Pacific
BEAR MARCELLA:
HEY-HEY and a couple of ooy-ooys — we're off to the land of "Yes men" and Hollywooden ladies, and am I thrilled? You tell 'em! As I watch that much advertised N. Y. skyline recede in the distance, I just can't squeeze out a single tear ; and you know why, Baby. It's because I'm bound for that sunny God's country California. Don't laugh, you old dyed-inthe-wool New Yorker, you know I've always been as dippy over Cal. as one of those much razzed "native sons." As a matter of fact I'm sticking out my tongue at Broadway, not that that gesture is very lady like, but then who ever accused your wise-cracking side kick, of being one of "them" things anyway. Nor has Broadway "done me wrong" or anything like that, far from

it. That old street and a couple of adjacent ones has been pretty darned good to you and me, and I know I have some of the grandest friends a gal ever had, along that old Mazda Lane. No, I'm not sore on Manhattan, I'm just fed up with it I guess, in fact, I suspect that at heart I am still a wild and wooly westerner, pardon my wet glove, not so wild nor so wooly, Broadway having extracted quite a portion of that — but western "anyhoo." I loathe old made over "walk up" apartments and funny antiquated plumbing with bathtubs that take all day to fill and Micky Mouse families running around so called kitchenettes, which are really old clothes closets that have had their faces lifted. No — I like shiny new places with kromium fixtures and smelly new paint and that's what you get out West. I like shiny new ideas too and N. Y. is so conservative it won't let you try them out, so I'm going out West, to the land of platinum blondes — no I'm not going to be one — and try out some of my new ideas at KFI, and as Ben Bernie would say, "I hope they like it." Just an "apple knocker" from the wide open areas, DID I hear you remark? — Okay — I glory in it.
Getting back to that gorgeous N. Y. skyline tho, it's sure an eyeful and it makes me marvel at the wonder of the old burg, at that. Now we're passing the building of my favorite afternoon newspaper and I'm waving farewell to an awfully nice Radio columnist who has always been especially good to us. Ohoh — there's that dear old Gal with the lamp who guards our harbor. Goodbye old thing, take care of N. Y. while I'm gone.
Now I can sit back in my deck chair, draw a deep breath and relax, or maybe I should say collapse — and look the other "buckwheats" over — I said — other!
Hot Freckles, I've fourteen days of rest ahead and do I need it after that hectic rush of the past few weeks! The wa> I ran around getting orchestrations of all the new numbers in my keys; having new photographs taken at NBC, incidentally the best likeness I've had in ages, (clapj calloused mitts for our new photogra pher); packing endless trunks, being en tertained at farewell dinners, luncheons etc, it's a miracle that I ever made the boat . Holy Hamberger, you should have seen me this morning boarding the Virginia with a suitcase, typewriter, portable
