Jan. 9, 1941: Sailor Pedro V. Rodriguez met Eva J. Sandstrum at a San Pedro cafe and after being invited to her home, had several drinks. However Rodriguez got tired of her repeated questions about his ship's cargo and its itinerary and when he saw her Nazi flag, he went berserk and stabbed her!  As a result, Judge Ida May Adams decided to burn the flag before it caused any more trouble.

Look for fireworks between Errol Flynn and Warners. They didn't know about his plan to tour the war-threatened Orient before returning home from his "Honolulu" vacation, Jimmie Fidler says.

    Maurice Chevalier’s Paris divorce in Fidler’s column brings to mind Chevalier’s collaboration with the Nazis. Would that judge have melted his movies if he’d been in her courtroom?
