"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:

In Nice, France, Sweden's King Gustaf V summoned Mouth Organist Larry Adler, demanded "something lively," enthusiastically applauded Yankee Doodle, chuckled at The Sidewalks of New York.

Entered at Eton for 1949 was Prince Edward George Nicholas Paul Patrick of Kent, six-month-old son of the Duke & Duchess of Kent.

At his 28-room, bullet-proof mansion in New Rochelle, N. Y. Asbestos Heir Thomas Franklyn Manville Jr. discharged seven armed guards, posted seven police dogs to catch kidnappers. Explained he: "The dogs have two advantages over the men guards. They do not drink my liquor, and they do not fall into slumber so deep that they are useless." While the fourth Mrs. Manville sulked in Manhattan, her husband's new secretary, 23-year-old Dolly ("Honey Child") Goering, presided over the New Rochelle mansion, giggled: "I feel as if I should have a weapon. Against the police dogs, I mean. . . . 1 think Tommy is the most marvelous employer I ever heard of. He's perfect. He's 100%. He's just himself all the time."

With nothing left of the $5,000 she says she received from Federal agents for putting the late Desperado John Dillinger on the spot, buxom Mrs. Anna Sage, "The Woman in Red," abandoned her long fight to escape deportation for operating a disorderly house in Gary, Ind. Next week she will be shipped back to her native Rumania. Remaining in the U. S. are Husband Alexander Sage and Son Steve.

On trial for "criminal conspiracy" at Kahoka, Mo. was Mrs. Nellie Tipton Muench, acquitted last autumn of having helped kidnap Dr. Isaac Dee Kelly in St. Louis in 1931. That trial had been featured by the arrival in Mrs. Muench's home of a baby, which she called "a gift from God in my time of distress." Wealthy, Socialite Dr. Marsh Pitzman of St. Louis, who once shared offices with Mrs. Muench's physician husband, certified the baby was hers. The conspiracy charge was brought when the child was later proved to be a servant girl's bastard (TIME, Dec. 16). In court last week Dr. Pitzman suddenly confessed what had long been suspected: that he had been redheaded Mrs. Muench's lover, that she had persuaded him that the "Gift of God" baby was theirs. It had cost him $16,000, said Dr. Pitzman. "Your Honor!" cried Dr. Muench, "can I get a warrant for this man right away?" The judge told him adultery was no crime in Missouri.

In Washington Evelyn Walker Robert, beauteous wife of the recently resigned Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence Wood ("Chip") Robert Jr., gave a large birthday party for her favorite horse, St. John the Baptist. St. John appeared at the party in a wreath of white carnations, eyed suspiciously a guest horse named Easter Sunday, several beribboned dogs.

Singing the title role of Carmen in Baltimore, Rosa Ponselle fought so determinedly with Don Jose in the third act that she crashed to the stage, broke her arm.

In Savannah, Ga. Jerry R. & Mamie Steele Cox, Negro servants of the late Cinemactress Marie Dressier, used the $50,000 they got from Miss Dressler's will to open a combination night club and tourist camp called Cocoanut Grove, after the famed Los Angeles hotspot.
