Random pickings from Milton
Berle's scrapbook: His real name is
Berlinger and he is cousin Of Barney
Berlinger, the greatest decathlon ath-
lete of the century.
Many people think he is an over
night sensation in vaudeville AS q
matter of fact, he has been in show
business since the age of 7, when he
played minor parts around the old
Biograph studios. Flora Finch, Monta-
que Love and Pearl White used him
in everything from Slapstick comedies
to serial thrillerS, in which he was
the chee-iuld that always got saved
by somebody or other.
His mother would rehearse him at
home before going out to the lot for

In 1918 and 1919, his tenth and

for soldiers. He sang at military
camps and trouped around selling
Liberty bonds in Upper New York.
In the years Immediately thereafter
he appeared in the famous child
vaudeville team Of Berle and Kennedy,
doing comedy Skits and tear -wringing
sketches. He was one of the pint-siZed

the Baby Flora Dora Sextet," which

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

THE Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, coming as near to this
city as has been the custom in
several years, presented per-
formance In Baltimore last eve
ming OF Wagner's "Die Walkuere." at
the Lyric Theater. Many Washing
tonians braved the weather to hear
opera as it is given by the most famous
company in the world.
The interest, however, centered
chiefly in the first appearance outside
of New York Of the new star Of the
Metropolitan armament, Kristen Flag
stad, Norwegian soprano, in the role
OF Bruenhilde. The name of Nine.
FlagStad was almost entirely unknown
in this country six weeks ago. On Feb
ruary 2, she made her debut at the
Metropolitan in the role of Sieglinde
in this same ''Walkuere," and immedi-
ately swept the sophisticated audience
of the metropolis of its feet. Not in
many decades has such voice and
personality been heard in the opera
house which claims to have garnered
the greatest artists Of the world under
It's portals.
Last evening the large audience at
the Lyric Theater sat patiently
through the first act Of Wagner'S be-
loved drama. waiting for that electric
moment in the next scene when the
thrilling war cry of the first OF the
Walkuere reveals what type Of singer
will be heard in the role of Bruenhilde.
High up on the rocky height stood
an armour clad figure, tall and slender
for a Wagnerian singer, the large
white wings on the helmet symbolic
ing the adventurous spirit Of these
war maidens. Suddenly the famous
''Ho yo to ho!" rang out powerful and
sweet, velvet mixed with steel. Hardly
we're the short phrases finished when
the audience broke into unrestrained
applause, rapturously acclaiming this
new diva Of glorious voice. From then
on the audience held itself tensely
waiting for the next moment when the

Mr.. Crosby, whose mellow bo-bo-bo's
are said to have started in the shower

further assisted in his Victor Herbert
assignment by Jan Kiepura, young
man who has been awaited eagerly in
this country, and by Mary Ellis and
Kitty Carlisle, two Paramount treas
ures whose tonsils are said to be pure
gold.
No one as yet has stated who will
play the role of Mr.. Herbert. But If

ONE Of the interesting items about
~ Anna Stems new starring picture,

ending-but it's also Mr. Cooper's.

on how you look at it. Personally. we

DID you know that even such

from Ray Henderson, who when
some one recently suggested that he
would like to see Miss Cornell on the
opening night Of the new Van Druten
play. Flowers Of the Forest" in
Baltimore, wrote back: Miss Cornell
is so nervous on first nights that it
would be cruel to ask her to see any
one before the play" etc. Afterwards
it's o. K.
Mr.. Henderson also writes: I'VE
hope to play Washington next WINTER
with our repertory. I trust we VIII
not have lost the good will Of the
press by waiting until then"
Miss Cornell is just as welcome here
in 1886 as she would be in l935-or
for that matter in 1888, '39 or 81.
