I’m back with the sensational “book of the month” release about the current best seller, “Keyhole Incorporated,” by MARGARET LEAHY. Miss Leahy, known to her intimates as “Black Maggie,” has retired from public life as head of a gambling casino to become an authoress of best-sellers. Here is the story of the book. The story opens with F.B.lI. Head, HARRY MARTELL, ordering the ar- rest of the following on charges of subversive activity: J. DALEY, L. TULEJA, R. SEN- NA, J. SUTCLIFFE, L. SPONAGLE, M. CARMICHAEL, E. CONQUEST, and C. CONWAY !! The plot is unfolded by a series of flashbacks. It seems that tne ring has been slipping out important government documents and formulas through unknown channels. So, Detectives “Mac”?

As usual, I have the latest, unan- nounced scoops of the year. FLASH ...

OLGA SACHARUK has won the United Press Award for the best photo- graph of the year. ‘Flash’ Sacharuk took a surprise photo of Miss EMILY STREIT- MATER, in her present residence. Miss Streitmater has risen high in the world of politics. She started as a bank teller, and rose to Bank President; from Bank Presi- dent she was elected State Treasurer, and from State Treasurer, she has been ap- pointed to her present position as National Chairman of the “March of Dimes.” FLASH ... In a recent exhibition, Swami Jacobs petrified the audience when the rope act went askew and Bob Loranger found himself dangling from the rafters. FLASH ... That hit video program, “It Pays to be Ignorant,’’ has been changed to a new show, “It’s Vogue to be Vague.” A na- tion-wide search for talent, heralded by the new board of experts, has been organized with JOHN MacLENNAN’s replacing Joe Howard. GEORGE FLEWELLING has tak- en the place of George Sheldon; DAVID HENTZ now fills the role once held by Har- ry McNorton. Commedienne ‘Lulu-Belle“ LEWIS has assumed the role of Miss Lulu McConnell. Good luck to the new board of experts. We are sure that they will add something new to show business. FLASH ...SPORTS SECTION .. . Coach GEORGE GRACIE’S football team, the “Cream Puffs,’ met Coach BOB WILSON’S “Lollypops” in the outstanding grid battle of the year. The tournament was held at Me- morial Stadium, the largest in the United States. In spite of rumored charges that Coach Gracie had accepted a bribe of bubble- gum from “Lips” WARREN, captain of the “Lollypops” cheerleaders, the “Cream Puffs” were in excellent form. After a bril- liant forward pass from “ZEKE” WILSON of the ‘‘Cream Puffs” to “Happy” ROBBINS, the game was declared a tie. Reason?.. . Water-girl, “Madcap” MURPHY, swiped the football during a triple play, with a double defeat.

The “Killer” picked up the note and fled toward the rear of the theater. Detective Marshall took off after the Killer, while Detective Mc- Gurn stayed to see if anything else would be uncovered in the show. The Killer passed the formula to “Cautious” CARMICHAEL, who leaped into a taxi with Inspector Mar- shall at her heels. Returning to meet Detec- tive McGurn, Miss Marshall told him what had taken place, and the two brave law-men invaded the lair of the “Brains,” “RED” CONWAY. The entire spy ring was tried before JUDGE WILLIAM SUTTON. The authoress has introduced a new style in American literature, called the ‘‘Com- pletely-blank verse.”’ The profits from this book should be breath-taking. FLASH ...
