This fellow Kassey back in Akron,
Ohio, is one chap with whom the courts
should spend little time. He belongs
back of the bars for long time. In fact
putting him there for the rest of his life
would not be too severe punishment for
him.
Kassey, an avowed Communist, was
engaged in working on the new dirigible
which is being built for the navy. His
Job was to check over construction and
see that all was as it should be.
Suspicion that all was not as it should
be with Kassey caused a watch to be
kept on him and his work. A section of
the dirigible which he was to inspect
was purposely allowed to contain sever
al flaws. These Kassey allowed to pass,
approving the construction as being per-
feet
Kassey, if the story is told correctly,
was willing to send scores of men to their
death, and undermine the nations con-
fidence in dirigible construction, because
he believes in the Communistic doctrine.
The law of Ohio permits a fine of
S5 900 and 10 years Imprisonment if
Kassey is convicted. That seems light
enough punishment in view Of the de-
struction he would have caused had his
plotting not been discovered.

the second verse Of the Spring Song
said to himself:
I'll sing the first verse over!
So he sang the song in loud voice
about Spring and the Sassafras.
Now the Fox. not knowing much
about singing. thought Uncle Wiggily
was calling for help. And the Fox
said to himself:
IF that rabbit is calling for help
he must see a Police Dog or some
body. 1 don't want to be arrested.
So III run away. I'll catch him next
time when he isn't yelling for help"
So away ran the Fox, all on ac-
count of Uncle Wiggily's Spring
Song and then the rabbit gentleman
feeling better after singing, hoped
to the store and bought the soap.

Following a well-earned retire

BANDMASTER'S
SON TRIUMPHS
AS ACTOR

Although he was born with a
great musical heritage, young
Roger Pryor, featured in the
comedy hit, up Pops the Devil, I"
coming to the Shubert-B -BelaSco
Theater next week, beginning
Monday night, under the auspices
OF the Professional Players, had
no desire to become q musician
and learned to play nothing but
a Saxophone which he crOonS on
for his own amusement.
The father is Arthur Pryor, the
celebrated band leader, who one
day had hopes that Roger might
eventually take over the baton of
his band and orchestra, but the
nearest Roger would come to it
was a compromise on stage
career. Through his father he OBJ
tained his first job with a stock
company in his home town of
New Brunswick, N. j.
One day the Juvenile lead walked
out without notice and Roger was
given a trial at the role and ac-
quilted himself so we'll that he
was put under contract for a Sc
ries of "Stock" engagements. This
stock took him into Buffalo, Tren-
ton and Wheeling for prolonged
visits and, of course, to the Ma
tional Theater here.
Then came his first Broadway
engagement in "The Sea Woman"
Next came Paid" then a road
tour in "Aloma of the South
Seas" and later a vaudeville tour
with Judith Anderson. Returning
to productions in Saturdays
Children" he made his first really
big hit. Then came a succession
of big successes including THE
Royal Family" Front Page" "See

He Cut Off Hoover

fact that the Chief Executive is

emily cut off by Columbia.

asked to repeat the speeches.

wide attention as the man who

man switched the circuit back to
