Games

Blonde, 19-year-old Dorothy Davis is probably the most beautiful corporation president in the world. Her firm: Love, Inc., of Manhattan. Her commodity: Love, a game. In effect, Love is parchesi with sex appeal. Players start single, win by pairing with a player of the opposite sex, moving up to goal marked The Altar. Cards rather than dice determine moves. If a pair draw cards marked "Edward" and "Wallis," they move ahead fast; if they draw "Canterbury," they are "sent into exile." As a promotion stunt Miss Davis recently sent a box of Love to the Archbishop of Canterbury. This week, according to a columnist in London's Daily Express, she got his answering letter. "It was a model of frigidity."

Selling even better than lead soldiers in German toy shops last week was a Nazified parchesi called Juden Raus (Out With the Jews). Advertised as an "entertaining, instructive and solidly constructed" game, its equipment is a pair of dice, a playing board covered with a map of Europe and Asia, a number of small figures patterned after the odious Jewish caricatures of Julius Streicher's Der Stuenner. The players shake the dice in turn, move the Jews across the map by stages determined by the dice. The winner: the first player to get all his Jews out of Germany and into Palestine.
