My day was made pleasant yes

is answering questions nightly for
patrons of the Club Michel.
confess I am a skeptic on such
things and Miss Morley made no
effort to convert me. She did ex-
plain precisely how she feels when
revelations come before her vision
and some of the tact and the
judgment and the friendly con-
sideration it is often necessary to
use in order that her clients may
not be embarrassed when they
submit queries which call for en-
intimate answer.
She is, I discovered, cracking
good show woman. Which is to
say that her knowledge of how
to turn her peculiar talent into
universal entertainment is we'll de.

by her husband, Earl Wright, of
United Artists, who knows show
business back and front, is expert
at gathering publicity.
Before she took her departure
after what was to me ar eGuca-
tional exchange, I asked Miss
Morley what the outlook was for
the organized Washington the
ater? Was prosperity ahead for
the movies and the stage? Would
the Government reorganization
affect the box office adversely?
Her answer was optimistic,
hopeful. To be sure it was all

Needs No P. A.

Notices of this type appeared
week after week from one end
Of the country to the other. A
press agent? Larry laughed at
the mention of them.
For what reason did he need
a press agent? His mother did
all the press agenting that was
necessary for him-and just a
little bit more. Never did any
one see Larry that they didn't
see his mother. And that fact,
simple as it was, earned him a
million in the type of publicity
that he wanted.
Some of the interviews he
gave out must stand as classics
of their kind. AS for example:
Girls? No, I'm not interested
in them. I haven't the time,
and, what's more. my mother is
the only girl I will ever love. I
can't find anyone who could
ever be half so sweet as she, so
what's the use of looking?.
my mother is my sole in
Spiration. Many people think
she sits down front all the time
just for publicity. That's not
true. It's because I want her
there and, because she has de-
voted her life to me, she does
as ask.
I'm not waving the flag. I'm
just telling you the things that
are in my heart. My mother is
my best and only girl. There
could never be anyone else"
Pretty? You'd be surprised
how many papers used it
throughout the land. >.

sedes all other plans for the
actress. She was supposed to go
into Joe Palooka," but that fell
through. "Malibu'' and Laugh
ing Boy" also scheduled for Lupe,
will not be ready for some time.
Interesting that Harry Rapf
will be associate producer on the
revue. 1t was he who discov-
cred the Mexican star in a
dancing act six years ago and
gave her her first screen chance.
Everything seems to be okay
between Lupe and Johnny Weiss
muller. The tall ex-swimming
champ has retired from circula,
ton as far as other girls are
concerned. He has Lupe on his
arm wherever he goes. Saw them
dancing at the Cocoanut Grove

In q cafe the other night,
had the opportunity of OBJ
serving Milton Berle, the young
comedian, and his mother.
Berle is the gentleman who,
until this year, was panned by
other comics and kidded un-
mercifully by columnists for
stealing most of his material.
The young man, possesSor of
a great deal of natural talent
and being far wiser than many
of his critics, did a most un-
usual thing. Instead of resent
ing the cracks in typical ham
fashion. he went out of his way
to publicize the fact that he
was known as a gag thief. He
kidded himself on the stage
and he deliberately gave COL
umniSts gags in which he took
the raps.
Headline Comic
His salary shot up in amazing
fashion, and today he is one of
the very few headline come
dianS who is never without
work. His possibilities look to
me to be limitless.
His mother is one of his great
est assets. Wherever Milton
goes, mamma is sure to be. You
can find her at almost all of
Berle's performances, laughing
Historically at jokes she has
heard a thousand times before.
I sometimes wonder how she
stands the strain.
AS I say, sat in a cafe the
other night watching Milton
and his mother. And suddenly,
as I watched, I was reminded
of the story of-let's say-Larry
Malloy, who passed from the
vaudeville game some years ago.
It's a wonder to me that no
body has printed it before.
Larry Malloy was one of the
first vaudeville performers to
cash in on the mother angle.
That he was an expert business
man there wasn't a shadow of
a doubt. While the song writer's
of the country were "Just
Breaking the News to Mother"
Larry was capitalizing on that
sweet person in an entirely diff
ferent way.
Wherever his act appeared
the reviews told the story.
Another act at the Colonial
Theater this week." they would
read, ''is Larry Malloy with his
songs, dances and funny say
ings. If his devotion to his
mother counts for anything;
Malloy should go far. The man
ner in which his mother roots
him home at every perform
ance is almost worth the price
of admission alone"

When Larry wired his agent
that he had stopped the show
in Washington, you can be-
lieve that his mother was
really the one who had stopped
the show. At the end Of every
performance, she was the first
and the last-to applaud.
And so the time rolled along,
until the stage world first be-
came "stooge conscious" Many
of the better comedians be-
gan to use stooges; eccentric
men, mainly, upon whom the
comics could depend for addi-
tional laughs. But Larry NAL
10y would have none of them.
Don't be silly" he stated
"It's all rgiht for the other
comedians to use stooges. May
be they need them. I don't.
If I can't get by alone, it's
time for me to quit the racket.
Larry Malloy goes on alone"
And his mother agreed with
him.
She never failed him, and
don't think she didn't help i'm
meaSurably. He went from one
success to another, and man.
ayers fell over themselves to
offer him contracts. He was
on his way to the very peak
of show business when he
went through a performance in
which he couldn't be helped
by the little woman who sat
, through every show.
He died.
All for Mother
When, a short time after Lar
rvs death, his will was read, 1t
was found that he had re-
mained true to character. He
left everything he owned to his
mother.
The only representative OF the
press who was sufficiently in
terested to cover the case was
a young man who wrote at space
rates for a theatrical publication
He dropped into the lawyers Of
flee for the reading of the will
because he thought he might be
able to pick up few cents with
a paragraph or two.
They wouldn't permit him to
enter the main office, so he
stood outside and cooled his
heels. Some 80 minutes went by
when a little, old lady opened
the door and walked out. The
reporter raised his hat.
Pardon me, madame" he as
serted, "but I understand that
Larry left everything to Mrs.
Malloy. I'm very anxious to
speak to her. Can you tell me
if she'll be out soon?"
you're talking to her." re-
piled the woman. Il am Mrs.
Malloy, Lary's mother"
The reporters eyes opened
wide.
But" he muttered, II don't
understand. If you are Mrs.
Malloy, who is the other woman
whom the world knew as his
mother?"
The woman shrugged her
shoulders.
"Her?" she said. Didn't you
know who she was? I thought
everybody did. She was Larry's
stooge!"

Speer of the Ramblers was the
big noise in the opening game of
the evening, when they defeated the
Blackhawks, 7-2, with three goals

the second period. Britton also
scored three for the Ramblers. Fa-

LOS ANGELES, March 16.-A
coroner's inquest into the deaths
caused by the earthquake last Fri
day will be held Tuesday IN the Hall
of Justice at which time a thorough
investigation into construction
methods will be initiated. Coroner
Frank A. Nance announced today.
The inquiry will concentrate on
the quality of construction in the
damaged area, and will dwell largely
on the fact that numerous school
buildings in Long Beach, Hunting
ton Park, Compton, and other dis
tricts were demolished while older
structures sustained less damage.
L am choosing a jury of compe-
tent engineers so the findings may
be understood thoroughly and
properly weighed" Coroner Nance
said.
Probe Criminal Responsibility
Il don't know whether there has
been any criminal responsibility in
connection with any construction
work. That is for the inquest to
determine"
District Attorney Buron R. Fits
pledged his aid in the inquiry.
Plans for financial relief and re-
Mobilization were well under way
In Washington, a $5,000,000 APP
preparation BILL already passed by
the senate, was prepared for intro
duction in the house of representa-
tlveS, personally fastened by Presi-
dent Roosevelt
In Sacramento, Governor James
Rolph Jr., signed a bill appropriate
ing $4,000 for immediate repair
work on highways and bridges in
the stricken area.
Bankers Pledge Aid
The Pacific branch of the Amer
lean Red Cross, through Manager
A. L. Schafer, announced the or
ganization would restore homes for
those unable financially to do so
themselves.
Los Angeles bankers met with
Chamber of Commerce officials and
pledged support of a campaign to
finance reconstruction. Steps which
would relax Reconstruction Finance
Corporation rules so that Long
Beach could obtain $48,000,000 for
rehabilitation we're discussed.
Charles Henderson, rehabilitation
director for Long Beach, asked
President Roosevelt to have the R.
F. G. send its own engineers to sur
vey the damage and set up an
agency for making loans.
DR.. j. L. Pomeroy, county health
officer, announced he had found

The guardsmen are feeding more

from four rolling kitchens and ten
field kitchens.
A $4,000 emergency fund voted
by the state legislature is being adj
ministered by them.
For the first time since the earth
