Mr. George Jean Nathan, who when not engaged in his more serious work of telling everybody where to get off at, finds relaxation in writing for Mr. Hearst’s publications, is the author of “Women Are Playthings.” Ah there, (as the editor of our “In Our Midst” column would say) George! Two of the big collar firms have combined. Our own Beauty Contest judges announce that the handsomest man in America is now Mister Cluett Peabody Earl Wilson. It turned out, after a New York jury had got down to business, that the foreman didn’t understand English, so the judge excused him and told the remaining eleven to reach a verdict of their own. We don’t get the point. Readers of the Daily News doubtless don’t understand English but they ought to be experts on crime.
