Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1911-12-18

Politeness, honesty and hustle are
the three prime requisites of the sue
cessful newsboy. So says Noodles"
Pagan, the famous newsboy, guest of
The Capital, who appears at the
Boyer Theatre formerly ColoniaD this
week in a cleancut vaudeville act. To
this advice he adds the injunctions,
Don't miss one school session. don't
drink, don't chew, keep your hands
clean, keep your character clean"
If he follows that advice he wont go
wrong Noodles" says the right
time to make a man is when he is a
boy, and that is right. Every boy has
profound respect for Noodles, who
rose from the Bowery of New York
to successful young man. Noodles
songs are as charming as himself.
Who ''Noodles" is and what he has
done would fill a bulky volume. Here
are just few of his achievements.
He raised $50, Zoo last year to combat
the spread of tuberculosis. He has
addressed all the big high school boys
in many cities in this and other coun-
tries on how to live clean and right.
He has addressed all the big high
schools, colleges and chambers of
commerce of this country. He has
met the royalty of Europe, including
King Alfonso, of Spain and the late
King Edward. of England, established
thirty newsboys' homes, started
twenty-four newsboys' bands.
He was granted conference Janu-
arv IL with President Taft at the
White House. After the introduction
the president said: "Mr Fagan, | am
glad to know you. Your work for the
poor children will not be soon effaced.
| want to thank you for your great
work" All of this work Noodles"
has done absolutely without pay.
On Friday evening, The Capital,
through the courtesy of Manager Lee,
will entertain the newsboys of the
city at the Boyer, when Noodles"
will put on an extra program for their
benefit. The boys will receive their
tickets at The Capital office. For the
special entertainment of the newsboys
of this city and the rest of the inter
ested public, The Capital, in addition
to the free show to the boys on Fri
day night, has arranged to have
"Noodles" give a free lecture on
Thursday at $50 in the Boyer Theatre
on the subject, Travels of the
World" The lecture will be illus
trated by moving pictures and
''Noodles will give in his charac-
teristic manner some of his expert
ences in foreign parts.

forms of leading churches and Y NJ.
c. A. halls all over the world, fire.
quently being called upon to deliver
his lecture to school children.
'Noodles" has spoken in all the
churches in the principal cities of the
country. He carries letters from Mar.
tin Brumbaugh, of Philadelphia, DR..
Maxwell, of New York, Judge Lindsey
and leading instructors of America.
He lectures and talks to children be,
cause of the fact that few years ago
he was a newsboy. He knows the
hardships and temptations of boy toll
