Milwaukee Mayor Addresses 1900
Auto Strikers,

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, March 81 CP).
Daniel w. Hoan, Milwaukee's So
cialist mayor, in an outdoor address
to l,500 strikers at the plant of the
Seaman Body Corporation yesterday,
asserted the American Federation OF
Labor is "a typically American instl-
tuition"
The automobile industrial kings
have branded the federation as un-
American" the mayor said. THE
fact is the American Federation OF
Labor is typically American, and was
in existence as an institution long
before the National Automobile Cham
ber of Commerce was thought of.
The country was conceived in the
abolishment of kings, and now it
must carry on with the aboliShment
of industrial kings who control your
destiny.

what a fighter and what a cham
pion he was! Paul Berlenbach.
The sports writer's raised as much
fuss about him, almost, as they do
today, over Max Baer, and some
there were who limited that if he
were bit heavier, he would have
been a more terrifying battler
than Jack Dempsey, himself. Now
he's out Of it all-and I wonder
if there's any bitterness or regret
in his heart. Today, he's a bar

Nice looking boys and even
nicer looking gals turned out for
the annual Yale senior prom in
New Haven the other night and
among the guests were Lanny
Ross, 1928, and Ed Wynn, an
honorary member of the class Of
1924. The dance orchestra was in
charge of Eddie Wittstein, quite
popular in Connecticut circles and
a talented musician who made
only one mistake in all his life
and even now. he won't admit it
was a mistake. That was when
at the debut Of the daughter Of
Thomas II. West, president Of q
Rhode Island bank, he ordered
one of the members Of his band
to. For Heavens sake, cut out
the mewing drone through the
megaphone. He made the fel-

went home feeling very much

New York and organized his own
band so he could sing through a

Speaking Of James Barton re.
minds me of the fact that he was
this week the center Of a highly
interesting experiment in the
theater. He took over the meaty
role of Jeeter Lester in Tobacco
Road" replacing Henry Hull, who
had been starred in the piece
since it opened.
It was a dangerous task for
Jim to undertake because Hull's
performance had BEEN regarded
by virtually all the critics as one
of the greatest Of any year. And
while Barton's dramatic ability
has been recognized by show
people for years, the public
wanted him only as a comic.
But Hull went to Hollywood
and Jim was handed his talk-of,
the-town role through stroke OF
casting genius. Barton opened
Monday night, and his work was
little short of sensational. His
performance is being hailed as
every bit as good as Hulls-and
there are some who claim, that,
in spots, he is better!
All of which proves that Barton
is a great artist. And it also
proves that it doesn't pay to con-
slider yourself too big in this
world-because they'll always dig
up somebody who's just a little
bigger.

"Sweet and Low" finally reached
Newark. and Rose decided that he
needed an added feature to pep
the production. He settled upon
Borah Minnevitch and his har-
monica gang, and arranged to
have them open with the show in
Newark that night.
The one hitch in the proceed
ings was the fact that Mime.
vitch's outfit was playing the
Paradise Theater in the Bronx
that very week, and the Paradise
Theater is just about as close to
Newark as Newark is to Paradise.
But Minnevitch promised to make
the best speed possible, and to ar
rive at Sweet and Low" in time
to appear. -.
Borrah did make excellent time
in racing to Newark with his
troupe, but he barely made the
connection. The Minnevitch out
fit reached the wings Just as Fan
ME, Jessel and Barton were going
into the finale.
Jessel spotted them and halted
the proceedings. He introduced
Borrah as q great added attrac
ton and then left the stage with
his two c0-StarS.
When it was over, Fannie, Jes.
sci and Barton stepped out to in
troduce the finale all over again.
But Minnevitch had scored one of
his sensational hits. The audience
liked him-and it felt, too, that it
was getting something for moth.

retire again while the harmonica
wizard staged an encore.
Had this happened only once,
1t would have been okay. But it
happened four times! The au.

Jim walked themselves dizzy be.

and they were able to go on into

He was rather glum about the
