Brush Cocktail

Katharine ("Kay") Brush, 30, is clearly classifiable as a sophisticate. At 17 she was a newspaper reporter, theatrical reviewer, cinema colyumist. She has married, divorced, remarried. Her novels Glitter, Young Man of Manhattan, Red-Headed Woman and her famed short story Night Club won her a reputation for knowing-her-way-about. With pardonable pride College Humor boasted recently that Author Brush, who ''rushes about the world with her eyes open." would write for it a monthly colyum, Manhattan Cocktail.

Last week in College Humor's November issue Colyumist Brush poured her first cocktail. It contained a description of Mrs. Ely Culbertson's eyebrows--"so thin they give her face a kind of naked-and- unashamed look'': of Queen Mary at Wimbledon--"Her hats exactly suit her. They're magnificent on her" of the Summer Casino at Monte Carlo with its floating revue-stage anchored offshore. But smart Katharine Brush let a few drops of amazingly stale beer get into her cocktail. She wrote:

"Do you know that O. O. Mclntyre's first names are Oscar Odd? . . And that Ernest Hemingway's forthcoming book is called Death in the Afternoon? . . . And that over the stage door of any theatre owned or leased by Earl Carroll, it says in large letters: Through These Portals Pass the Most Beautiful Girls in the World?
