THE VOICE OF
Broadway
BY Louis SObOl-
Down Memory Lane!
with John BarrymOre)

with John BarrymOre)
It's a long lane, the old bro
mide says, that has no turning.
But the lane of my memories
makes that bromide look funny.
It's twists and turns are awfully
amusing to me. They conjure
up interesting people, queer ex-
periences, and a lot of nonsense
I'm scared Of putting on paper
even for you, Louis Sobol.
I suppose 1 ought to begin
with my earliest memories. The
smell of the stage was in my
nostrils before I could even walk.
With Uncle John Drew, a blessed
memory, and Sidney Drew, and
my own father and mother,
Maurice and Georgia Drew Barry
more, all stars in their own right
at the time l was porn, couIonG
escape the theater if wanted to.
They did manage to send me
to school. At this time, to the
combined horror of the whole
Barrymore clan, / made up my
mind that was going to be a
painter. But the clan wasn't
to be denied and took my
first part in the famous play,
"Magda," on the road. An ex-
citing memory in my life, the
two lines 1 had to say didn't
find the Cleveland audience on
their feet and cheering the
debut of a Barrymore. But be-
fore I go into stage history let
me tell you about a perform
ance that's never been in print
before.

Was a Cartoonist

There was a time when l
roomed with Walter Beffenbaugh,
the brilliant newspaperman. Wal
ter used to concentrate so on a
story he was doing that he'd hold
cigarette It'll it burnt his fingers.
He and Frank Butler and I used
to play around New York to-
gether. Once, when Lionel and I
were going on a road tour we
persuaded Frank to come along
as an actor. The point was that
he was very valuable. He had a
lovely gold plate in his mouth. to
which were attached several
equally important gold teeth.
When we were broke he never
failed to hook these.
Back in those days the news
paper crowd were my bosom COM
panions. The truth was that I
wasn't at all stage struck. Print
er'S ink was far more important.
AS a matter of fact, I left the
stage for awhile and became a
pen and ink artist on a New York
paper. Arthur Brisbane was my
boss. And didn't I have swell
: times at Jacks with the witty
crowd that frequented that IA
nous place. Booth Harrington
used to be there on his infrequent
visits to New York. James Hume
ker, Frank Ward O'MaIley and
many other famous journalistic
lights used to hold court there all
through the night.

Tar Sends
Man TO Hospital

Scalded by boiling tar, James
r. Sears, 81, of 1915 Emerson St.
N. E., yesterday was treated in
Providence Hospital for second
degree burns.
Sears was burned when a vat
of tar being used for repairs on
a building at 800 D st. S. W.,
caught fire and the hot liquid
boiled over, splaShing his hands
and feet,

The Great Modieska

It happened in an old barn in
the country near Philadelphia.
My family occupied this house at
odd moment between road tours.
Ethel, Lionel and myself, sick Of
watching father from the wings,
decided we were ready to put on
a show ourselves. After the fash
ion of children, we were plenty
ambitious. We decided that moth
ing less than Camille" was worthy
of our efforts. But the play as it
stood was, as we felt, bit anna
teurishly written. So we rewrote
it. AS we were II. 10 and 8 years
old, respectively, it is easy to see
how we improved on Dumas origi'
nal classic.

they must renounce their rights. To
escape from want they must enter
prison To regularize their work they
must be regimented. To obtain great
er equality they must have less free
dom. To make secure the national

Wilson meeting is the only instance
where two leading candidates for
President have personally met. The
candidates usually ignore each other.
not even mentioning each other by
name. Herbert Hoover did not once
mention the name Of Gov. Alfred z.
Smith in the campaign Of 1928. It
was always the opposition, and in
1882 he did refer to the Governor OF
New York in his final speeches, forced
by the desperate situation in the CAM
paign. Sometimes, it is recalled, tg-
noring, by design or otherwise, an
important person staying under the
same roof can have fatal conse-
quences, as Charles Evans Hughes
learned in 1916.
The Wilson meeting was vir-
tually casual, but this will not be the
case when President Roosevelt and
Gov. Landon meet. 1t will be odicial
and prearranged at the Presidents
instance. There will be reporters and
photographers about galore, excite
ment enough heard over the land.
incidentally, there will be campaign
pleasantries between the candidates.
Both are gentlemen who, on meeting.
can have a good time But the con-
trasts between this second and first
meeting, it is believed, should be
marked indeed.

As the Mercury quoted 1t, the
Dreamer" expressed himself thus:
Il am strong,
am big and well-made,
I am muscled, lean and nervous,
I am sick Of Nations stenches,
I am sick of propertied Cars:
have dreamed my great dream
of their passing.
I have gathered my tools and my
charts
Ny plans are fashioned and prac-
teal;
shall roll up my sleeyes-make
America over!"
Even as early as 1915. The reviewer
has just one comment. Perhaps it is
as well that the doctor turned TO
something else.
