SALVAGE CREW NO W AT WORK
 SEEKING GOLD
Large Shipment Not Yet Found = Might Be in
 Bow of Islander

Re- mining" the hulk of the beached Islander with sluice boxes and picks and shovels, members of the Curtis salvage crew are now cleaning the wrecked vessel of all barnacles and mud. Drama of the Klondike days during which the Islander was the pride of ships on the Alaska run is nearing the last act.
 With cargo booms on the lift ships Forest Pride and Griffson lying on each side of the hulk being used to tear away loose sections of the superstructure, the main outlines of the Islander are daily becoming more and more clear Several weeks more work will be necessary in the "re-mining" process, however, it is reported. The large shipment of gold re- puted to have been on the vessel when sunk has not yet been found. However, a number of other dis coveries and finds have been made
 Finish in September
 Unless circumstances prevent, the salvage crew is expected to be done with the work by early Sep tember. Much of the hulk remains yet to be cleaned. Search for the gold goes on. Possibility of a large sum being in the bow of the wrecked vessel is being considered, it is declared. The bow is broken off and lies in deeper water where it dropped while the hulk was be- ing moved ashore.
 Hundreds Of small items from the Islander have been taken off the heached hulk These include dishes, lamps, brass ware, silver ware, etc. Even champagne has been recovered in good condition.

Carefree Days soen Oyer

MT Gosden had succeeded in completely forgetting M a d a m e Queen, Ruby Taylor and the other creations of the radio artists through clever voice changes, until today when he received wires from the broadcasting company, an- nouncing the two-way broadcast with his partner. Now he feels that all too soon his carefree days of outdoor life may end temper arily.
 When Amos and Andy signed off the radio on July B. they had presented 1892 episodes over that medium. They have written every word of their negro characteriza- tions and it is estimated that the daily happenings of Amos and Andy have consumed an approxi- mate total of 3ia million words and thousands O. watts. They keep q complete record of every broadcast script, bound in chono- logical order.

 FOR GAY NINETIES'
Nightly Rehearsals Start
 ed By Maestro Bernie BIick For Benefit Show

Rehearsal of the full cast of s45 of the Albert Furniture companys Gay Nineties" revue was held last night at the Albert audi torium. Bernie Blick, director of the, production, has announced that rehearsals will be held night ly from now until May 10. the date of the presentation at Temple hall.
 Besides the bicycle group, the Floradora sextet, the burlesque Floradora number, and the vari- ous speciality acts, the most recent of the new additions to the pro- gram is the Cameo Kirby number in which s. s. Baumel promises to give an entirely new twist to the impersonation of the famous gambler. MT Baumel is an expe- rienced stage and radio performer whose previous appearances in shows here have occasioned much favorable comment.
 Under the direction of Bernie Blick special scenery and stage settings have been constructed, and the lighting effects have been arranged with the view to bring ing out the best features of the period costumes which the per- formers will wear. Some of the outfits of the cast resemble the Chuck Connors style of sartorial splendor popular in. the halcyon daysof the Bowery.
 Miss Marion Kramer, chairman of the milk fund at Lincoln House, for the benefit of which the pro- ductfon is being staged, reports that the advance sale of tickets exceeds expectations. Several new organizations have joined the growing list of those promising support to the show.

 But he didn't want the kid to overdo things and become what he inelegantly called "a house crawler." Barrow wanted his son to enjoy his childhood; to get out in the open, plays games and take the bumps that are part of the life of every normal boy.
 And there was the rub. for of late, Tommy had neen eschewing boy of 12 finds pleasure in. He had been spending more and more time indoors, reading, or bent over the drawing board in his room up. stairs. copying pictures out of the newspapers or making crude sketches of his own.
