Brady Hoped
AIonq Fast

Coming back to Washington
and Loew's Fox Theater next
Friday, is a young man about
whom it can be truthfully said is
returning with a Hollywood con-
tract and Broadway in his pocket.
His name is Bill Brady.
Just a year and half ago, this
young man appeared in the Fox
anniversary show, singing at his
best. He had a swell voice and
personality. His advance in the
entertainment field reads like a
Horatio Alger book.
Brady, not many months ago
went to New York, leaving George
Washington University where he
was a student. About seven weeks
ago he made his debut at Leon
and EddieS, one Of New York S
better night spots. at nominal
salary. On his opening night he
made such a success that Twen.
tieth Century Picture offered him
contract. The same evening
Jim Carroll. representing Earl
Carroll, offered him a contract
for the Sketch Book" and an.
other offer was for his appear
ance in the new Cochran musical
in London.
Three days later Abe Lyman
offered him a contract Of $3.50
per week to appear at the Holly
wood. Then the Paradise manage
ment came in and offered him
more and as result closed for
$3.50 a week for eight weeks at the
Paradise.
Before completing this contract
George White rendered a spot in
the new Scandals" at $500 per
week for the run of the show.
However his venture in the
Scandals" did not last long and
he found himself back in New
York. where he signed six
months contract with Metro
Goldwyn-M for $500 per
week. His contract with M. G. M.
is for a seven-year period and
sliding scale.
In his appearance at the Fox.
Bill Brady will sing his best along
with Ed Sullivan who is the head
liner,
