Marxes to Witness
Kinq's Coronatio!

Named by King Edward VIII
as his favorite entertainers, the
Marx Brothers are making def
mite arrangements to be in Lon
don next year for the coronation.
England is at its very gayeSt
on those historic occasions when
a new king is crowned and Lon
don theater managers, familiar
with His Majesty's special liking
for the Marxes, are seeking them
for appearances during the fes-
tivities. That they will give a
command performance before the
King himself is highly probable.

Back in 1882, shortly before the
death of Flo Ziegfeld, the noted
producer made his radio advent
by introducing on the networks
his "Ziegfeld Follies of the Air" )"
which simultaneously served as
the initial microphone try for
Eddie Dowling as well as Jack
Pearl.
The same program also gave
that big-time ether chance to
Charlie Carlisle, 1929 finaliSt of
the nationwide Atwater Kent con-
test, and from then on labeled
him as the last tenor to be fea-
tured by Ziegfeld. Appropriately
enough, he currently headlines
The Glorified Follies of 1886"
at the Capitol.
During this same year, Dan
Carthay-another Capitol feature
with the ninth edition of Earl
Carroll'S Scandals" became the
first dancer to introduce Revel'S
"Bolero" to this country. He also
claims the distinction of having
been a dancing partner with Ruth
st. Denis, on the concert stage;
Gambreli, for two years at the
Capitol, on. Broadway; Washing
toms Patricia Bowman, as a
Radio City feature, and Louise
Brown, who is now London stage
sensation.
His partner on this bill, Caryl
Bergman, was. formerly an un-
derstudy for the late Marilyn Mil
Ter in both "Rosalie" and "Rio
Rita"
Many will remember two years
ago when Abe Lymans band,
featuring Wilma and Buddy Ebsen,
headlined the Fox Theater stage
bill. Few, however, will recall
single tap dancing speciality, with
the smallest billing on the board,
as the same Paul Draper who this
week headlines at the Earle. This
date incidentally was his first
trip here and his only week with
the Lyman aggregation.
Paul started his career as as
SiStant music critic, on the New
York Evening World, to the famed
Samuel Chotzinoff. He plays his
first footlight date this week, after
having spent year in night club
work, and next Wednesday opens
at the Corinthian room, Pierre
Hotel, New York city, for a win
ter stay in front of Shep Field
band.
A glance at Ondee Odette, the
40-inch miss of the EaSton and
Odette team at the Capitol, re-
veals that this petite personality
graduated from Vanderbilt Uni
versity in the class of '35, with
second highest honors. Six months
later she was a Broadway feature
in Gus Edwards "Show Window"
with partner Bob Easton, teaching
her all she knew of hoofing and
singing.
Twenty-three years ago, Wilfred
j. NORM, 16-year-old ventriloqulst,
billed himself as THE Great
NORM" and made his bid for
vaudeville fame on the stage at
the Majestic Theater, located here
over old Center Market. Clicking
with his voice tossing, he received
his first bookings-a solid so weeks
from Washington through Quebec,
on the w. S. Cleveland time.
This week NORM might be rec
ognized as Valentine VoX, of "Vox
and Walters" Walters being the
only lady ventriloquist on today'S
stage.
Roy Campbell, manager and
director of the 'RoyaliSt Sextet,"
at the Earle, left for New York to
make final arrangements to put
his "Continental" octette into the
Bea Lille fall musical comedy.

his handkerchief to help her

she was like a frenzied animal.

the rubber soled wheels, and the
light football of the nurses shoes

was scientific to his finger tips, a

earshot he said to the nurse with
him, Tough job. An hour or two

"Oh, yes" said the surgeon,

Yes, he is feeling so terribly

all go to my place for breakfast

the others took off their wraps
in a daze
In the icebox Dick found some
liver which Helen had ordered.
He fried it in the usual way and
emptied can of pineapple in
pan of bacon fat, and fried that.
II learned this" he explained
to Mary as she stood looking on
helplessly, "at camp one time. It's
great, You put 'em on the same
plate and eat it all together. Of
course you could be fussy about
it and dress the platter all up,
but it's good any way you take
it."
Food seemed to help them, and
the men insisted that Mary go to
bed for a while.
But I can't sleep" she pro-
tested
"I'll read to you" said Dick.
No. l couldn't stand it. l want
to be alone" she said, and left
while the men watched her go up
the stairs. There was frank ad-

noticing it said. "She has been
like that always. A sorta lone
wolf. Hard on top, and a dove

John phoned the hospital every
fifteen minutes, and always got

You mean
Susan They've been seeing a
lot of each other, and good old

jumbled talk when Mary and |

Don't jump too quickly to con-
clusions, Roy. OF course, you feel

mother is about the best I've ever
met, sweet and old-fashioned. |

Yes, she is sweet and old fash

easy prey for Susan. who knows
so well how to say the gracious
thing instead of the real thing.
Mother just loved people, and told

it was hum-drum. But ii was
anything else but! Mother was a
veritable tower of devotion. only
she didn't sugar coat it."
Presently there was a knock

She was beautifully groomed,
tubbed and perfumed.

Mary took out her purse mirror
and gave her face the once-ove.
with that trained, critical eye su
much observed in the girls of to
day. She seemed extremely non
chalant. Dick, looking at her,
thought that it didn't seem pos
sible for a girl to blossom so sud-
denly. She was beautiful, too.
Il say" demanded Roy, what
rs the big idea?"
Simply that I'm going to be
by the bed when, and if mother
comes out from under the ether.
1t always gave her little thrill
of pleasure to see me we'll turned
out. and this is no time to think
of my own fear"
Her eyes had that strange CLINT
they had held when she first en-
tered the hospital. Roy had men
tally catalogued this expression of
Mary's by terming it her hitting
it on high look" She seemed to
possess an unusual power to take
her personal feelings out of
things, and to function mentally
without the slightest emotion.
Her reasoning and logic at such
times was almost unquestionable.
Mary continued, THE doctor
said to come back gay and bright
and if that will help, then I'm
going to do it the best way l can.
If Mumsey sees us all crying she
will get the idea that she is really
very low, and it will lower her
resistance. If we're happy, she
will feel that she has a chance"
