February %. Station KWWG is
pleased to announce this entertain
ment added TO the already splendid
features which listeners enjoy each
day.
Herr Louie and his company real
Is need no introduction, as they are
well known not only on the air but
on the stage, as their popularity
on the radio created a great de-
mand for stage appearances, and
this funny little German band,
which provokes great gustos OF
laughter, is always welcomed.
Although their music Is not what
one might call classic. all classes Of
people listen in on Herr Louie and
the Weasel. Their snappy humor,
droll Wit. augmented by the sharp,
quaint German band numbers,
seems to make an appeal to every
one.
The director Of the band. which
includes five members, Is Henry T..
MoelleF, SO years old. who TO look
at IS bit 10 laugh. And this state
ment Is no reflection on his APP
pearance. as Herr Louie is a fine
looking fellow: but there's a twinkle
In his eve that he Just can't hide,
and It usually means that he is
thinking up a joke 70 tell you or
to kid you until you arc red in the
face. IL is Moelier who writes all
the foolishness which he discusses
with his pert little clarinet player,
the Weasel. his real name being
Harold j. Giles. IS.
Iowa and Indiana produced these
two inimitable comedians. Moeller
came from Davenport, Ia. where he
won acclaim as a boy in amateur
dramatics and learned about people
while clerking In his fathers groc-
cry store. His parents. both born
IN Germany but moving to Daven-
port early in life, gave to Hank his
German accent and much OF the
comedy which he is able 10 dis
penSe on the air. After graduation
from public school he entered bust
ness college. where. among other
accomplishments. he learned 70 type
a talent which comes in mighty
handy writing the script for the
act.
Moeller came TO Chicago and en-
gagged in producing road shows and
home productions. IL was while
busy IN his work that he met the
comical Weasel, Mr.. Giles. who Is
a scream both on and off the stage.
And when YOU mention the stage.
that is almost synonymous with the
word Giles, as he has been identi-
fled with il almost all OF his adult
liic. A blackface principal, a singer
OF Negro dialect songs in the &C
ccDted Bert Williams style, and an
ace on sentimental ballads, Hal
Giles can't be beaten. He was
-orn IN Evansville, Ind, and mi
grated 70 Chicago, from whence he
got his start in the show business,
ard travelled extensively throughout
the United States with Ministries
and other forms OF stage entertain
ment. In addition to being a clRri-
net player and singer, Giles is no
mean hoofer.

Macdonald and Debt Cancellation

Prime Minister James Ramsay Macdonald, erstwhile
leader of the British labor party and head of the labor
government, is fighting with his back to the wall. In an
address just the other day he made a declaration that
should be of interest to the American people.
Speaking of the World war he said that the Hoover
moratorium would never be heard of again and that can
collation. of all war debts was certain to take place. This
is interesting to say the least coming from a man who is
as outstanding and fearless as this British prime minis
ter.
1t is likewise interesting because if the war debts
are cancelled American taxpayers will hold a big bag
containing an S11, 900, 100000 war debt which Ameri-
cans must pay.
This debt represents the S11, 900, 900, 900 in liberty
bonds which must be paid by the American regardless
of moratoriums or debt cancellations. 1t also serves to
remind the intelligent who are informed on this side OF
the Atlantic that more than $40, GEO, 900, 900 has been in
vested by this government in European countries or loan
ed to European governments or individuals since the
united States entered the war on the side of the Allies IN
the long ago. v,
There are billions represented in the floatations OF
liberty bonds. They will not be repudiated by the Amer
people. Now if cancellation of war debts comes who
HOLDS the bag? Who pays the price?
