...original screen play is attributed to Mahatma Kane Jeeves, an obvious pseudonym to those who know that Fields writes his own lines. His own character-a small-town tosspot accidentally given the job of cop at the local bank-is labeled Egbert Sousé (pronounced Soo-zay). His small town is called Lompoc-a coincidence which may cause some embarrassment to citizens of Lompoc, Calif. When Mr. Sousé drinks a pony of straight whiskey, he always demands a water chaser, which he uses as a finger bowl; with each drink he requires a fresh chaser, because "I never like...
...Fields under the pseudonym Mahatma Kane Jeeves wrote "Bank Dick," he played the lead, and he directed the director. That should be warning enough for anyone not a slapstick fanatic; and even Fields' staunchest fans will long for a goat-in-the-boudoir-of-Mac-West scene like that which marked the peak of "My Little Chickadee." Closest to a really uproarious sequence is the capture of bank bandits Repulsive Grogan and Filthy McSnatch by the paunchy recluse of the Black Pussy Cafe. Thereby W.C. becomes local constable and straight Grade B Mack Sennett horseplay drags on and on. Saloon...
...honor a plump, loquacious spinster, Mary Margaret McBride, ex-citizen of Paris, Mo.

Until a couple of months ago, she was heard over both CBS and the MBS station WOR, serving Columbia as Mary Margaret McBride, WOR as Martha Deane. In her dual role she made...
...Cato" is the pseudonym of the author of Guilty Men (TIME, Sept. 30), a crushing arraignment of Britain's high-placed political bunglers. Some guessed that "Cato" might be Newsman Michael Foote of the Evening Standard, H. G. Wells, Lord Beaverbrook, Leslie Hore-Belisha, Alfred Duff Cooper, or the Prime Minister's brash son Randolph Churchill. Actor Vic Oliver, hitherto a dark horse in the guessing, is Winston Churchill...
...writer who hides his identity under the pseudonym André Simone may be Pertinax (André Geraud), André Gide, André Malraux, Georges Mandel, Geneviève Tabouis. All deny that they wrote J'Accuse! The book is a lurid charge that most of France's political and military leaders were traitors-those who were not were dupes. A good deal of the charge is based on whispers from Senators, confidences from Cabinet Ministers, tips from newspapermen...
