to If;* this community of rats. What we need around here is a Pied Piper of Harlem because the poor cats just don't stand a chance. Didja tver see a Harlem rat (king size) kill a cat? Well, It's a pretty sorry sight, believe me. . . . The whole

NELLIE LUTCHER certainly picked herself a fine, juicy plum when she was signed for a three-week Paramount Picture stint with STAN KENTON'S band, beginning Nov. 24. NELLIE whose platter of "He's Real Gone Guy" sold over a million copies, returns to her new home in Los Angeles im­mediately following her engagement to spend the hol­idays with her son, TALMADGE.

• • • HARDLY A 8UNDAY passes now that one's social schedule isn't

filled to the brim, and if you try hopping from one affair to the other, ehanoea are that yon won't be able to poll the old body together to make Monday morning time. If the bars and grills and night clubs want to know where business is these days, all they have to do la take a look-see at the countless Sunday cocktails, benefits and fashion shows, all of packed to the rafters. If folks can't afford to go oat and "ball" bat once a week, they're most likely to go where they can show off their clothes and gab with their friends. Probably one of this Sunday's larger crowds will be the Negro Actors Guild cocktail party in honor of Adelaide Hall at the (iub Sudan where Sam Wooding's excellent choir will share entertainment honors along with such folk as the cast from "Set My People Free", Artie Belle MsGinty, Alberta Pry me, Pauline Myers, Bosetta LeNolre, Taylor Gordon, Bill Robinson and Noble Slssle, among others. . . . And over at Small's Paradise the Artel Social Club is offering such stars on its Sunday Soiree as Bobby Lopes, Hadda Brooks, Leon Collins and Dottis Pembroke, which sounds like a groovy day. We'll start off, at the Yankee-Cleveland Browns' game and see what happens after that
