LINCOLN PARK & THE
SEWERAGE BILLY.

SEWERAGE BILLY.
We understand that City Attorney
I Broughton found himself unable to an
, -swer coherently the questions asked him
| by members of the Committee of Towns
and Cities, when he attacked the con-
constitutionality of the bill now before the
legislature which provides that the resi-
dents of College and Lincoln Parks be re-
leased from paying taxes until such time
as water and sewerage are given them.
Our City attorney, we are told, repeat
edly impressed on the minds of the Com
mitteemen that he was not in office at the
time the Lincoln and College Park resi-
dents were taken into the city limits. When
asked point blank, just what disposition
has been made of the moneys collected as
taxes from these people, Mr.. Broughton
has nothing definite to say. AS to why
C1I1AcuS VI CuS dIA SuOu1u NC Idhcu 1uCO
the city limits without their consent and
made to pay taxes when they received no
benefits whatsoever, was not of any
special Importance to Mr.. Broughton. He
merely appeared to challenge the con-
stitutionality Of the bill.
In our opinion, the city will do we'll to
relieve these people from paying taxes
as requested in the bill. 1t seems clear that
under the circumstances. the residents of
College and Lincoln Parks have a good
reason to bring suit against the city for it's
fragrant neglect.
Assuming that the bill is unconstitution-
9l and taking into consideration the fact
there is not the remotest possibility of the
citizens of Raleigh voting for another
bond issue to install sewer facilities in the
section under discussion, the only other al
tentative is to permit that section to with
draw from the city limits.
With little or no police protection; no
water and no sewerage, the Park enjoys
no advantage whatsoever, not to mention
the taxes paid merely for the privilege of
being considered a part of the city of
Raleigh.

Youngsters Win at Lyric

Every one who saw the w. c.
Fields-Bing Crosby picture, Mis-
sissippi,7 will surely remember the
ingratiating troupe of five little
Pickaninny thermometers who made
such a sensational debut in that
film.
They were the Five Cabin Kids
and they are appearing in person as
the headline attraction on the
Lyric stage. Their harmony,
coupled with their peculiar brand Of
comedy. makes them a good act on
any vaudeville bill and quite the
equal of the majority of adult har-
mony teams.
To display their talents, they sing
"Shortenin' Bread Last Round
up" and several Negro spirituals.
Considering their youth (the three
girls and two boys range in age from
5 to u, we believe), their tonal bal
ance IS remarkable. The youngster
of the troupe-the Shaven-headed
little boy-carrieS the comedy bust
ness of the act, which consists most
w. YOU will recall, of much head
scratching and mobile face-making
at the next larger member "a Crib
in the stepped ensemble.
Their act. however. shows the
lack of direction which gave it the
punch it had in mississippi" but
it remains. nevertheless, an ad-
mirable accomplishment. An ex-
pert sound recording helped them
III their film venture, too.
Among the other acts. there are
many familiar faces to Lyric-goers:
Yorke and Tracy are back again
with unbrided slapstick dressed up
with lot of new business and they
seem to know the location of their
audiences funny-bone; Pinkie Lee
&, Co. contribute more comedy of
the rough and tumble sort in
manner which is probably best de-
scribed as "a camp" and then. too.
there is the Liazeed Arabian
Troupe of lightning gymnasts and
tumblers and this act never misses
with variety patrons. They do
some astonishing feats.
Vernon Rathburn opens with his
revue in miniature, which includes
some first rate saXophone quintets,
sextets, and solo. tap and toe dane
ing and the presentation of lit

Often his fans have asked about
the origin of the battered head
piece. He has received thousands
Of letters about it. It's one of the
first questions he was asked when
he arrived in Hollywood.
Ted. whose music and antics have
won him the sobriquet, "High-Hat-
ted Tragedian of Song" says that
the hat dates back to an engage
ment at the famous Rector's in New
York. For many years an old colored
cabby known as Mississippi used
to park his vehicle directly in front
of the Broadway cafe. known 10
all the cafe-goers and FOUNDERS, he
was a veritable landmark.
Won Hat in Dice Game
"He was always identified by the
shiny silk topper he wore on the
job" relates Lewis. For some
reason the hat strangely fascinated
me. You see. I'm a believer in
lunches. and I knew that somehow
in this fascination of mine bunch
was concealed.
when the show was over. a cou-
pie of friends and used to ride
home in 'Sippi's cab and I always
insisted on wearing that high hat.
One night we lured Mississippi into
a craps game-and when it was over
I'd won the topper. Then the
bunch jelled-I wore it that night
during my performance at Rector's
because 1 knew it would be recog-
nized and get laughs. And the
laughs it got at Rector's it got else
where. until it became trade
mark"
Virginia Bruce Co-Starred
The hat is old and battered now.
Repairs and insurance have cost
Ted many a dollor But he invari-
ably uses it in every performance,
and it has brought good luck. He is
now using it before camera and mi
chrophone, and is sure that it will
bring him the same good luck in
this new medium that it has on the
stage.
