His twin, Leonard, of Hollywood, who was across the fished it from his pocket.

With a look of unbrotherly love, Bob sneered. "I don't look that much like you, that I'd put my fountain pen in your pocket!" A lot of people don't know there are two Goldsteins, and a lot of people who do know it, think there shouldn't be. They are usually a continent apart, which most of their friends consider almost far enough. WHEN LEONARD, who's associate producer for 20th Century-Fox, arrived in town to visit Bob, who's "vice president in charge of waits and delays" for International Pictures, he had a two-day beard. Bob came into his room freshly shaven and Leonard, with instinctive mischief, aid, -Who's your barber?" Forthwith he went immediately to the barber who had just shaved Bob.

sat down in his chair and puzzled him deeply by demanding "another shave." "The barber went crazy trying to figure it out," Leonard told me triumphantly afterward. When Leonard was in the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Los Angeles, Bob called on him, left him in his bed, and started out. He suddenly realized hospital workers thought he was his brother. That was too good to let pass. When en elevator operator said.

"Are you leaving us, Mr. Goldstein?" he angrily replied: "Yes. I'm sick and tired of this place, and I won't stay any longer!" "DOES THE DOCTOR know you're leaving?" fce was asked. "I don't give a hang what the doctor says, I'm getting out of here!" he snarled. He finally admitted the hoax when they ganged him and insisted he pay his bill before leaving.

For Bob to have paid Leonard's bill would have been carrying the joke too far. Director Clarence Brown used to be one of their victims. Boarding a plane at LaGuardia Field, he'd see Bob Goldstein saying goodby to Bill Goetz, the movie magnate. Arriving In Los Angeles, he'd see a Goldstein at the airport to greet Goetz Leonard, of course. Nobody had told him there were two Goldsteins.

IIOV THE DEVIL does that fallow make the trip faster than we do?" he asked. "It takes Bob a week to square all the beefs from people he's supposedly snubbed after I visit New York," says Leonard. "When anybody says hello to me, thinking I'm Bob, I snub hell out ef them." Both are bachelors, and I hear there are girls who think they've been out with Bob, but haven't. They've been out with Leonard, who however, if asked about this by a girl he didn't like, would say, "Oh, you must have been ut with Bob." They say they aren't sure themselves which is which because a nurse thinks she got their blankets, and thus their proper identity, confused when they were three days old. However, she isn't sure.

I asked them for pictures of themselves to illustrate this story. -I haven't any," replied Bob Goldstein. "Why should I waste my money getting pictures taken? I use Leonard's!" FRANK SINATRA gave his pals. Rags Rag-land and Toots Shor, each a watch. The inscription on the watch for Rags said: "From Riches to Rags," and the one to Shor said: "Any friend cf Sinatra's is a friend of mine." The Australian press got into a lather about Carole Landis' assertion here that GI's have to beat off some Australian girls with clubs.

Your good-will ce-menter would like to elaborate. Miss Landis, a smart lady, naturally loves our Allies and was referring to only a handful of Australian gals, even as we have in our own Times Sq. She didn't mean that any large portion of the female population was guilty and it was my own dumbness (and not Carole's) that prevented me from making that clear. (O Baby?) THE 3IIDNIGHT EARL: A dignified-looking lady confronted the doorman at the Colony, asked if liquor was sold there, and, informed that it was, stormed off exclaiming: "You'll all go to hell some day." Crooner Johnny Johnson, resting from an appendectomy at West Side Hospital, had La Martinique (downstairs) send him a steak. Three papers turned down those eyebrow-raising "School for Brides" ads.

Joy Hodges' gown in "The Odds on Mrs. Oakley" is guaranteed to be the lowest-cut on the stage. Helen Barton of Chicago is convincing them at Maxims' that she's the best singer to come along in a long time. Rita Ross, the Cat Woman (ex-show girl), is now an usherette at the Broadway Theater where "Carmen Jones" is playing. Somebody hearing Margie Hart, the ex-strip-teaser, singing, told her she hsd hidden talents.

"Oh, not so hidden," said Margie. D.S.C. FOR ST.
