He has written a number of successful sketches, mostly of the 'col ege" kind. including Freshman and Sophomore, ''The Rah Rah Boy, MT. Busybody'', The BilIiken Freshman. and his present skit, Joy and Gloom. A year ago Bridgeport by his first appearance here in a musical comedy, "Dea con Flood", afterward called The Dea- con and the Lady, in which he was

 Where did you get on to the idea of that crazy hat that you wear?'' asked the interviewer.
 "Oh, I came naturally by that" sa i'd Wynn; my father is one of the best known mil1iners in Philadelphia U. Leopold-and I was brought up in that business. I designed the hat and he made 1t for me.

 Wynn's rise as a comedian is one of the most meteoric in the histo y of the stage, and is due largely to his own great originality and versati = ity, for he IS the author of several successful vaudeville musical acts, and complete books of his little musical comedies, music and all.
 His return to Bridgeport every sea- son-he has missed on one in this anniversary, and he always has kind ly feelings for the city where he be- gan his successful stage career.
 After Knocking around in various minor parts after his ''Jim Bludsoe experience here, Wynn determined to branch out for himself and immed- lately made his first vaudeville sue cess. On April 14, 1906, he produced a vaudeville act written by himself called "The Rah Rah Boy, in which he was assisted by Jack Lewis, un- der the team name of Wynn and Lewis-Mr. Leopold having chosen his stage title by dividing his middle name -Edwin-into two parts,-hence Ed Wynn

 When booked for that house, they were given the last position on the billing and the most insignificant part in the bill. You couldn't see their names in the advertisements, without the use of a microscope. Eva Tan quay was the headliner, and her name was emblazoned in huge electric lights in front of the theatre
