The Minnesotan is going to win enough Ohio delegates to leave Taft with egg on his face. These include the cities of the great industrial horseshoe where the labor vote is heaviest. Stassen’s strategy is to enter his convention delegation nominees, not in the state as a whole, but in districts where Taft is weakest. All the indications are that he is going to make a good showing there. Next week he’ll break political lances with Senator Robert Taft in Ohio which is Senator Taft’s home state. Harold Stassen rides a good horse toward the Republican National Convention in Philadelphia on June 21. The second-earliest instance that I have found is from the Binghamton Press (Binghamton, New York) of Wednesday 28 th April 1948: “Hitch” removed the egg by speeding up the tempo of the scene. When Hitchcock says an actor has egg on his face he means the actor has a vaguely embarrassed expression caused by too long a period without lines or a lag in action. Hitchcock has a language all his own in the making of “Notorious.”įor example, he suddenly halts a scene between Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman to inform her that she has egg on her face.īut no egg is removed or is visible as the stars resume the scene. Hollywood-Alfred Hitchcock has discovered that having a reputation as a wag has its drawbacks. The earliest instance of the phrase that I have found is accompanied by its definition it is from Colorful Comments Cause Confusion, published in the Amarillo Daily News (Amarillo, Texas) of Friday 17 th May 1946: Of American-English origin, the phrase to have, or to get, etc., egg on one’s face means to be, or to get, embarrassed or humiliated by the turn of events.
