Target Practice

Those frequent gun shots on The Adventures of the Thin Man have finally had their effect on actress Elspeth Eric--she's acquired a 22-calibre rifle and is shooting it out on her own.  Another radio refugee from the whodunits, Stacy Harris, gifted the rifle to Miss Eric, and the two can be seen out on the countryside these fall mornings, taking pot shots at tin cans, rocks, and assorted vegetable and mineral targets.  "No birds or animals," says Miss Eric. "Too gruesome!"
