ABOUT THIS
ONE

The Earle bill for. the week
Is much like a big, juicy apple.
It's great when you bite into It,
but there are a couple OF tiny
worms. They, however. SO little
affect the partaler that they are
scarcely noticed.
When 'Ukelele Ike" came on,
the house wept tears Of joy and
we wondered why, being suspicious
of these insidious luke hounds.
Ike sang. and he made the uke.

lady In front OF us sing, and his
stuff was all alike but all diff
ferent and we liked IT.. There
fore, in such wise was the IKE

dience, needless to say. ate his
act up like caviar and midnight
lobster. and beloved Tor more.
The only glazing flaw he shows,
Is very flat joke.
Earl Hampton dragged in d
skit called Meet Dad, written
by william Bateman. After this
Hampton person and another,
called Frank Townsend, came on,
we forgot the fool plot and just
laughed with and at Hampton.
Madge Mccarthy has tiny part,
which she did well enough. The
piece is all about d crabby dad,
a snifty, irnpudent and clever
son, and a wife from the FOL
lies. Hampton has q world Of
personality
Levan and Doris presented the
inevitable song and dance, coming
on with terrible pIop. In about
the middle Of their act they sud-
denly came to life and put on
wild and untamed dancing that
was a roar: so that set them
soIid. The Six Rockets are cute
and husky female acrobats.. but
their turn changed into the snap
piest OF stunt numbers. The
revue had nice costuming and
setting, showed hard work, and
everything but the necessary
spark OF real originality to make
such production take.

Of young people win dream dreams that they also
might win high place in operate art
Thousands also of young women dream of
being movie stars and actresses of the spoken
drama. Maay who have meager gifts, yet dream
that perhaps these could be developed and make
them rich and famous.
Some of these people unfortunately may spend
good deal of money on expensive courses of
education for careers for which they have insult
fcent qualification. Yet people with distinct artis-
tic gifts dislike to settle down in some ordinary
occupation. when they feel the STRINGS of ambi-
ton. People can not be blamed for wishing to de-
velop these gifts.
Very few attain these high ranges of fame but
for people who have real artistic genius there is
good deal of opening. They may not climb any
high pinnacle. but If they really have talent the
world usually ENDS place for them.
They should realize that they viii have to work

MR.. BARRoNs VISION FOR KEY WEST

C. w. Barron, eminent financial authority OF
New York City, and publisher of three Of the lead
ing financial newspapers in the English tongue out
lines In The Citizen this afternoon vision Of the
golden days that are coming to the heayen-blessed
islAldSjty Of Key West.
swsMr. Barron speaks from first-hand knowledge,
arb what he says goes into the homes of the bank
inn interests Of the nation through the Wall Street
Journal, the Boston News Bureau, and Barron's
Nstional Financial Weekly. That he speaks from
first knowledge Is attested to by the fact that he
wss only recently in Key West, has been here be-
fdfe, and has made a personal study of the situa-
tion which obtains here and on the Florida Keys
si6ce the initial bond issue was put through and
the road to the mainland begun.
On the 18th Of February The Citizen pub
Hzhed through the courtesy Of Mr.. Barron
splendid and illuminating article Of length about
two columns, devoted entirely to Key West and her
glowing prospects.
Today Mr.. Barron considers the situation from
another angle, that of the developments such as
Mf. Meacham is making on the eastern end Of the
island. He indicates through the proposed scope
of-the Meacham operations that Il is not the mere
buying and selling of land which counts in Key
West or anywhere else In Florida
Rather il Is the buying Of land and the man
msde developments upon it that bring to the pro-
jet really intrinsic worth. Vision must be fol-
lowed by vital service in the effort to make bet
ter property which the next man or the next
generation viii want because it has been made bet
Ter by vital service.
Mr.. Barron is far-seeing man. but he does
nas strike US as visionary man in the dictionary
meaning of the much-abused word. He sees ahead.
bal he does not give one the idea that he is speak
ing false prophecy. because what he sees Is already
cpsning TO pass. Yet he seems TO see far ahead OF
the average man. as for example when he says:
Key West may in few years easily represent
hundred million dollars and the Florida Keys win
represent ten times as many Observation-Disclosures

The layman, the ordinary man, cannot COM
prehend these figures. Al We know is that when
the highway is ready for the bridges over the two

sonething tremendous is going 10 happen in the
history not alone of Key West. but Of the entire
world as well.
