Amos n Andy drew $SS,OUO 10
the Fox box office windows during
Inauguration week, 1888. It meant
nine shows a day over the busy
weekend and seven shows a day
for the rest Of the engagement.
On their percentage contract they
collected $1,000 with no regrets
when City Manager Carter Barron
handed them the check. Since
their departure no other program
has come within 5000 Of their
Seven-day record.
There are definite signs that
their radio popularity is waning.
Not surprising. They have been
on the air continuously since Jan.

their nightly broadcasts as Sam

800 week. Today their radio
contract, royalties from records
and a comic strip they foster, the

$500 a week each. This is apart
from extra earnings in the the

The late Florenz Ziegfeld told
me five years ago they couldn't
survive as favorites with their
nightly broadcast. It was too many
appearances. Too difficult a Sched.

wrong. He was probably piqued
a bit because they had snubbed
his offer to headline in the Follies.

HOLD.UP SUSPECT
FLEES UNDER FIRE
Arlington Police Fail to Capture
Third Of Alleged Taxi
Robber Band.

Local police together with those of
Arlington County last night sur
rounded and attempted to capture a
suspect in the series of alleged taxi
hold-ups, for which two men are
already under arrest, but the third
man escaped after shots were fired at
him, it was announced by police today.
The local detectives were F. o. Brass
and Elmer F. Lewis. The identity of
the Arlington County policemen who
accompanied them was not made
known.
According to the detectives. they
had information to the effect that the
man was in house in Arlington
County near Columbia pike The
house was surrounded and members
Of the Arlington County force en-
tered. Shortly thereafter a man
dashed from the house and made his
escape into the woods nearby, the
Washington detectives firing several
shots at him.
While police did not get a good look
at the man, they are confident that
he is the one they were seeking and
they believe that he may be wounded.
The search for him was still under
way today.
