Septuagenarians Are Giddiest

By ROBERT MUSEL

Ilony Konyeesny Thury and Joe E. Howard have passed the biblical three acore and ten by several years, but in- stead of parking by a fireside with slippers handy, both of them are dancing every night in night clubs and having quite a time for themselves.

"Momma" Thury-as they call her is a cinch to pull some jitterbug stuff not long before dawn breaks over New York's spires; and about the same time Joe will break into the nostalgic songs of the Mauve Decade. He gets as much a kick out of it as "Momma" gets out of truckin' to the tune of "A-Tisket A-Tasket."

"Momma"

This would be simply scan- dalous in the case of an or- dinary grandmother

and grandfather, but Thury and Joe Howard are in a special class. They are the oldest night club entertainers in the metropolis and both still rate as topnotch performers, 60 years after their debuts.

"Momma" Thury is the star of Zimmerman's Hungarin, one of the largest clubs in town, and the management snys sho can head-line the show as long as she lives. She is 75 now and expects to reach 100 if the supply of Hungar- ian goulash which she says is responsible for her vigour, holds out.

She is a jolly lady with a comparatively unlined face and a voice which quavers only at long intervals. She will cheerfully admit her voice is not as robust as It was, any in 1914, when she played the male role of Prince Danillo in "The Merry Widow" with Franz Lehar conducting the performance. That was in Vienna,

Nor does she pretend to be ns agile as she was when she

DUKE OF KENT AT TIME BOMB EXPLOSION

A time bomb was exploded within 80 yards of a car in which the Duke of Kent was touring bombed areas of South-West London recently.

The duke's car was travelling along a road and come to a roped barrier bearing the netice "Danger, unex- ploded bomb." The car stopped, and almost at the same moment the bomb went off. There was a loud report and rubble shot up frofe the front garden of a house" a short distanco -up the road. 'Two seconda, later u shower, of stone and earth fell on the Duke's car.

Shook Hands

When the shower had subsided the Duke got out of the car. People who had assembled at the noise of the explosion enwded round him and a number of women shook him by the hand.

The Duke walked to the place where the bomb had exploded and spoke to men of a Royal Engineers bomb disposal squad. A sergeant told him that the bamb had lain in the garden for some time. They had been unable to move it and had caused: it to explode, after taking precautions to see that it should de no damage.

The bomb loft a crater about 4ft. deep' and 10ft. across. All the win- dows in the house adjoining the garden ware broken, but this, the Duke was told, was the result of othee bombing, eralda

was a reigning beauty in Hun- gary. She recalls wistfully how perfumes and hats were named after her, how royalty toasted her in the capitals of Europe and how King Alexander of Serbia became her patron-in a nice way. She came here a generation ago.

"Momma" Thury works until 4 a.m., but she still gets the breakfast for her husband -a toolmaker-and three children, the oldest of whom is 42. She has been smoking for 50 years and has never, she says, had more than four or five hours sleep a day.

Traitors' Visit To Hitler

From A Dutch Correspondent

The Dutch Nazi leader, Mussert, häd conference

with Hitler recently. The Reich Commissioner for the occupied aréa of the Netherlands, Seyss-Inquart, the Reich Com- missioner for Norway, Ter- boven, and several Dutch Nazis, including the leading Dutch Quisling, Rost van Ton- ningen, were also present.

According to the Amster- dam Telegraaf, which has switched over completely to the German point of view, Mussort suggested that Hol- land should be declared an in- dependent Nazi State along. the lines proposed for Nor- way. This allies with the prenerice at the conference of Terboven, who, it is under- stood, suggested that Mussert should form a new Dutch one- party Goverilment.

In exchange for this honour Mussort promised to put down the strong opposition against the Germans and against a Nazi regime in Holland, pro- vided that he had a sufficiently strong German backing..

It is clear that stubborn re- sistance of the Dutch against their foreign overlords is caus- ing Berlin much worry. The chief aim of the conference with Hitler was to try to find a way to overcome the defiance of German rule, and it was thought that a nominally

Dutch Nazi regime, under German control of course, might be a compromise accept- able to the Dutch people.

But, apart from the fact that the Dutch have shown over and over again their antipathy towards their Fas- cist compatriots, the unity in Dutch Fascist ranks is none too strong. Rost van Ton- ningen, formerly secretary of the movement, has superseded Mussert as the driving power, and neither the official Nazi lender nor his special friends have been much in the fore- ground.

Jealousy and intrigue are confined to the main Dutch Nazi party. Some Fas- cists have formed a group called the "National Front,"

which issues a daily news- paper called Netherland Jour- nal. This organ is strongly opposed to the National Jour- nal of Mussert's party and publishes articles declaring that "the Netherlands people cannot accept Mussert's party, because it is too Germanised and does not take into account the character and mentality of the Dutch people."

Even the German daily published in Holland, Deutsche Zeitung in den Niederlanden, recently printed an articlé admitting the aversion of the Dutch people for a totalitarian regime.

"What is the attitude of the Dutch towards the great 'New Deal'?" the writer ask- ed. His reply was: "Let us admit openly that most of them take up

GUESTS HAVE FUN AS WAITERS STRIKE

Guests at the Manila Hotel were treated to an impromptu buffet parly recently when waiters, bellboys, and roomboys walked out without warning.”

The trouble apparently arose from the decision of the manage- ment to transfer a waiter, be- longing to the Manila Hotel Employes Association, to the Mayon Hotel, in Legaspi, which is managed by the Manila Hotel. The waiter refused to go and aucceeded in inducing his fellow workers to quit work.

Employees Wera hastily recruited from various departments and made to don waiters and bellboys' "unl- forms, reinforcing the number of those who remained on their jobs,

Some of the kitchen help also walked out, slowing the dining room service somewhat, but the guests had fun serving themselves from a huge buffet inblo wet in the middle of tho Fiesta Pavilion.
