He next tackled the stage
and during one of his stage per-

Pendleton's uncle, Arthur john

from the stage, played occasional
screen bits, wrote a wrestling
story and played the lead in it.
Following his appearance in

won a long-term Metro oldwyn-

He lives alone on a hillside in
Hollywood, where he plays tennis

Here's the Dope

nv ~ - ~ WV
"You have it on the authority
Of Miss Kay Macrae, the original
'Prima Donna Of the Air who
first revived the song on the
air back in 1923, that the num-
Der was written by bird named
George Leybourne and the must
cal arrangement was by one Al
fred Lee. Miss Macrae has an
original copy published in 1867,
and those are the names printed
under the title.
"As you're recognized as one
columnist who believes in giving
credit where it is due, I thought
you'd like to know the facts:
Miss Macare's grandmother,
Dora Friede, who was quite a vo-
calist in her own right half a
century or so ago, bequeathed to
Kay her collection of music.
When Miss Macrae was one of
the highlights Of radio-from
1922 to 1925-she introduced
The Flying Trapeze' first early
in 1923 over the now defunct
WANG. Requests for a repeat
began to pour in, and she used it
many, many times in the follow
ing two years-not only from
WANG, but also from WEAF,
WIZ and WMCA.
"Other singers began to use
the number, and it was done
quite extensively for a while. In
1925, Miss Macrae went on the
road as prima donna of The
Student Prince and naturally
did not sing the song for a
year. But after the close of that
show, she went into vaudeville
and for her first 40 weeks over
the RKO, Pan and Sun time, she
featured The Flying Trapeze.'
THAT was back in 1926 and
1927. She then changed her act,
and, for the subsequent five years,
confined her songs to music of
the musical comedy and semi
classic type. During that time,
she didn't use The Flying Ira
peze.'
cts entirely possible that the
record that so intrigued Walter
O'Keefe and Bing Crosby was
one Of Miss Macrae's. She made
record Of it, but I don't Re
membe~ which company it was
for. and when talked to her
this afternoon. I forgot 70 ask her.
During those pioneer days Of
radio, Miss Macrae revived a
great many Of the old-time num-
berS Zone I remember particularly
had the inspiring title Of Close
the window, Willie'S DeadD but
the only one that brought her
any appreciable number Of re-
quests was The Flying Trapeze.'
"Miss Macrae now is combining
herself to concert work and hasn't
sung any of these old numbers
publicly in some seven years. But
I thought you'd appreciate get
ting the absolute low-down on
how The Flying Trapeze' really
came to be revived"
Thank you, Mr.. Rogers. Your
letter clears up numerous points,
including the names Of the origi.
nal authors and the fact that the
song was written 81 years ago.
Miss Macrae is undoubtedly en-
titled to credit for digging up the
number am this column is only
too happy 70 recognize the fact.

The game progressed peaceably

Bob by name, to return to college.
Bob, it seems, owed a boy named
Jim 500, on which he had de-

fore he left, Bob gave Jim a check
for the 500.
"Jim accepted the check in
good faith and caShed it. Much
to his amazement the check was

Jim also had to pay 50 to the
bank for the unwelcome news as

Jim thereupon sent a letter to
Bob and said the hell with the

Gasoline prices, subject OF a

cents, including tax, for straight
"gas."

to reduce their prices if major
companies made any reduction

A drop in the independents
prices is expected before the end

10 States Involved
Last summers gas war was
purely local, dealers here point
out, but the present war is raging
in 10 States from Maine to the
Carolinas.
The underlying cause is held to
be overproduction, and the failure
of Government agencies to stop
the flow of "hot oil" from
Southern and Western fields.
"Hot oil is cheap, crude oil
welled in excess of Federal pro

ALLEY HOMES

three District officials visited

initial step toward eliminating

man of the newly created Alley
Dwelling Authority; John Ihlder,
the Authority's executive officer;
and E. A. Dent, D. c. Surveyor,
drove in one car and without
reporters or photographers, to
avoid attracting attention.
The inspection party planned
to visit every section of the city
except Northeast Washington,
which will be inspected another
day.
What areas will be chosen for
cleaning up" will not be an
nounced until after several first

job-seekers should not apply for
positions unless they have Civil

left the terminal here.
Other awards were made for
tips that a moving van overturned
at K Streets Northwest; street Car
hit truck at Twelfth Street and
Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast;
three persons were killed in a
bus crash near Aberdeen, Md,
and workmen at the City Post
Office went on a brief strike.
