RADIO MIRROR A plot-packed story of a college love that dared to tangle with tradition! Court of Human Relations motion pictures are produced by Ben E. Blake for Columbia Pictures Corporation and based on stories from TRUE STORY MAGAZINE Truth is Stranger than Fiction probably turn up next time he entered the dining room. This Nino emphatically did not want to happen. As graciously as he could, he reminded the young lady that they had never met. He mentioned that he always liked to eat his dinner alone. It didn't work. The young lady ordered a dinner. She took up a monologue, toying daintily with her food meanwhile. It was evident that she wanted the few people present, and the head waiter, to see her with Nino. Nino, on the other hand, had different ideas. Thoughts of Ruth and Jane had him jittery. He called the head waiter, and asked to have his visitor gently and tactfully removed. "But Miss says that she is an old friend of yours." the waiter s.miled, thinking that Martini was joking. "I never saw the girl in my life!" Nino declared, getting angry. "And I always remember a face!" The girl disagreed. The conversation continued back and forth for almost a half hour before the young lady coolly and languorously arose. With a smile, and a wink at Nino, she left! That same night. Nino came home from the opera dead tired. He went into his hotel room, and began removing his clothes, when he suddenly discovered he was not alone ! The girl who had annoyed him at the dinner table was seated in the far corner of the room. Her coat was on the piano, and she seemed to be even more at ease than she had been in the dining room. SHE refused to leave. Nino's only alternative was to call the manager, and have her forcefully removed. It was discovered later that she had obtained the key from the desk under the pretense that she was Nino's sister. That very night, Nino and his manager sat up discussing the series of situations. Something had to be done! There must be some way, they both thought, of keeping Nino healthy, happy, and unbothered. "If we could only change places," Nino sighed, at three o'clock. "That's it!" Nino's manager exclaimed. "We'll exchange places!" Since that disturbing night in Chicago, almost a year ago, Nino and his manager have stuck to their system. It is a tricky one. Nino registers in one hotel room, his manager in another, and they swap keys. So far the manager has been bothered seven or eight times! This exchanging hotel rooms has further complications. Nino's close friends can't figure out why they always get his manager when they call for Nino. And Nino's manager's friends are equally puzzled when they continually hear Nino's voice on the other end of the wire. It keeps both of them calling from room to room, but it has saved any further embarrassment. He can undress in peace. One of the more recent and amusing cases of Latin fever concerns a nineteenyear-old girl with a literary complex. This young girl has been bothering Nino ever since he arrived in New York. She wants to do what she calls "the story of his life." Nino does not, as yet. consider himself important enough to have his life story written. But a young girl with a yen to create is hard to stop. She writes long sample chapters about her reactions to Nino's singing. He finds these masterpieces in his mailbox every Saturday morning. A few hours later she calls on the telephone, with the important message that she must see Nino at once. Lately, Nino sighed, she has been stand OH Parade 89
