BLUE PENCILS

NEWSPAPERMAN STUFF: Edwin A. Lahey, the Chicago scribe now at Harvard (on one of the Nieman Fellowships) was asked by a Boston Gazette to do a guest drama criticism on the Harvard Hasty Pudding show, in which the college boys cavort as chorus girls. . . . Mr. Lahey didn't think much of the show and said so in his review, but the paper didn't print it. . . . Presumably because the event is always a big social moment in Boston and the home towners might be offended. . . . His wind-up bears repeating, however: "These shows were originally presented for the entertainment of the Hasty Pudding in private. This is a custom which should be revived." Walter Winchell in the New York Daily Mirror.

(Ed Note: The Boston paper which carries Mr. Winchell's column deleted this paragraph.)
