Timberg, who might even be called

few seconds, while Mr.. Rooney
rubbed off makeup. carried on an
up-and- -down-the conversation
with his son, made show
plans with Yasha Buchnuk, exchanged
cracks with Timberg, and otherwise
relaxed in peace.
Whether a stall or not, the note
seemed to us a typical flare in the
luminous history of veteran vaude-
william. 1t was penned by an inmate
of the Maryland State Sanitarium,
and read in part as follows:
Dear Pat Rooney:
Missing your act is a new, and, I
must say. disappointing experience for
me. for I have seen you every time
you've been in Washington for the
past Is years. Have always hoped
that you'd some day do a revival of

L saw it several times and still like
it as well as anything you've ever
done.
II should feel highly honored if you
would send me an autographed photo
graph for my collection Of favorite
famous people.
Wishing you continued success
throughout the years and cherishing
my memories of you, Marion Bent and
Pat the third. :"
Which may give you an idea why
good trouperS stay in show business
until the final curtain is called on
them.
In case you have not boned up on
your entertainment history of the COS,
you may not know that Pat Rooney's
father was one of the best known
comics, singers and hooters of the
time. Crowds ganged music halls to
hear him render 'Muldoon-The Solid
Man." and applauded until their mus
tacheS waved like corn silks when the
Rooney cut down on a good Irish
ditty.
The first Rooney to cavort behind
footlightS died when the present
senior Pat was about II years old.
The boy started out on his own, doing
bits where he could find them, and
sticking always to his resolution not
to copy his fathers style and stuff or
trade on it. You can imagine the
number of shows, acts and theaters
he has played since that day. Never
theless, in his present state of gray
haired agility, he finds certain num-
bers have not been forgotten wherever
ne goes. Witness the mention of

Whatever your reaction to the

you one thing-his conversation as

thought it might be twins or even
triplets, she little dreamt she
would be hoisted to fame by her
own fecundity.
A S the days went by she con-
n flded her fears to Ovila that
there must be something seriously
wrong. The symptoms became
more and more disqmeting. but
on May 81 she seemed calmer
and there was little indication Of
the impending marvel.
Suddenly during the night the
pains became acute and Ovila
arose in haste and drove out in
his automobile to fetch Nine. Be-
mott Labelle. a neighbor skilled
in midwifery, and Nine. Alexandra
Legros, Nine. Dionne's auns.
Both women dressed immedi-
ately and returned in Ovila'S car
to the Dionne home Then Mr..
Dionne, realizing that his wlfe'S
condition was precarious, drove
two and a half miles to Callan-
der to get DR.. Allan Roy Dafoe.
But by the time they got back,
three of the quintuplets were al
ready born.
The remaining ones followed
soon after. Il did not complain
and I didn't lose consciousness"
is the Spartan boast of Nine.
Dionne as she recalls the ordeal.
Between the room in which the
uuintuplets lie in their incubators
and Nine. Dionne'S bedroom a
window has been installed so that
the mother can get glimpses OF
her children as they are taken
out and bathed by the expert
hands of nurses and doctors.
But these occasional peekS don't
satisfy Nine. Dionne's strong ma
ternal instinct. II can hardly
wait to really fondle them. The
nurses won't let me into to|ch
them and get close to them so
that can really see them, COM
planned the quintuplet's mother.
While the babies are still in in
cubatorS and not yet up to the
physical development of a normal,
full-term baby at birth, Madame
Dionne has faith they will live.
Il pray for them every night and
I am not the only one praying for
them to live" she declared. Then,
too. Father Routhier of the parish
church at Corbeil visited them
and gave them his blessing. oh,
they will live all right. If they've
lived this long it is that God
wants them to live. If he hadn't
they would surely have died"
Madame Dionne offers no mate
rial explanation for her extraor-
binary fecundity. She follows no
special diet and her life has been
typical of that of many pioneer
women. She has worked hard all
her days without complaining, but
she does not offer this in eXplana-
ton of the phenomenal births.
Its just one of LIE Bon Deus
miracles" she declared.

children?" she was asked.
