Rosenbloom at Harvard
Maxwell Everett ("Slapsie Maxie") Rosenbloom, 37, onetime world's light-heavyweight prizefight champ, now proprietor of a Hollywood nightclub, is making a picture of undergraduate life called Harvard, Here I Come. His wife, according to United Pressman Frederick Othman, is coaching him in collegiate ways. Says Max:
"To act like a Harvarder, far as I can see, all you got to do is act dumb. Stupid, like."
Cinemactor Rosenbloom, whose battered ring career left him looking like a cross between a hooked rug and a donkey, was recently picked by girls of a college sorority as the last man in the world they'd like to be left alone with on a desert island. That honor moved him to say: "Tings like dat is all advertising. Good for yuh. As for dem college graduates, I know some. Mostly bus boys tryin' to woik deir way up to waiters."
Warned that Harvard undergraduates may resent his forthcoming impersonation, the ex-pug replied: "If dat is a insult to dose gents ... let 'em sulk. I'm gettin' a tousan' a week, and what are they gettin'?"
