THE VOICE OF

Down Memory Lane

with Jimmy DuTGnte)
Jimmy Durante today continues
his Journey doWn Memory LGne) .
From the Club Durante we
moved to the Dover and every
body moved with us, including the
bill collectors. 1t was an assort-
ment of night clubs after this:
The Dover, the Parody, the Silver
Slipper, the Rendezvous, Les Am
bassadeurs. I could write a whole
book about night clubs. In fact,
I did.
I got to be on speaking terms
with all the celebrities in the bust
ness: Sine Silverman, who ribbed
me one minute and advised me
the next; for without dear Sine
we wouldn't have got far. Boy,
how he helped us in our lean days,
and how we depended on him;
George M. Cohan, Eddie Cantor,
Paul Whiteman, Al Jolson, Helen
Morgan, John Gilbert, Richard
Barthelmess, Harold Lloyd, George
Olsen, a million of them.
One night somebody asks us
if we would like to play a pri-
vate function. 1 thought he
meant a church festival. Clay
ton, right away asks for $1,000
for the trio. / told him he was
crazy to ask for that kind of
money cause you could hire
whole revue and a 1O-piece band
for less. Clayton moved me
down for that remark. He got
the $1,000. The guy who paid
it was Bill Leeds, the tinplate
millionaire.

Vaudeville Beckons

Vaudeville offers began coming
in. They wanted us to play the
Palace. I couldn't sleep all that
night thinking that we was Of
fered the Palace. Clayton was
the manager, and right away he
asks for $4,000, and right away
we don't play the Palace. But for
more money we play Loew's State.
The Palace tries again, and three
months later we're over there. We
never rehearsed any act we were
going to do.
The Palace was our home after
that. And what an audience! I
think the only other audience like
the Palace is the Palladium in Lon
don.
Remember 1929? Wall Street
laid an egg and the night clubs
caught it in the eye. But along
came Ziegfeld and offered us
a part in "ShOw Girl'-Our de-

Cole Porter took us for "The

mOguls gives us the Once-Over
and before we know it we're
doing a bit for Paramount in
"ROadhOuSe Nights"
Next thing I know I'm con-
fronted with contract from
M-GM and it offers me as much
as the trio is getting now. So I
talked it over with Clayton and
Jackson, and they tell me to sign.
We all went out to the Coast.
Clayton was my manager and
Jackson was my bodyguard.

SHIRT WORKER
WOULD STARVE
IF NECESSARY
Woman, Support for Family,
Says She Won't Surren-
der to Company.
BY ARCH STEINEL
Times stan Writer

NEW ALBANY, Ind, Jan. 23-A
tired couple sits by monkey stove
in a mortgaged home on the out
skirts Of New Albany, wondering
where the next meal is coming from
Until last October, the wife, Mrs
Laura Dillman, Sc, trimmed shirts
in New Albany plant of M. Fine
81 Sons, Inc. Then she joined
the garment makers union and an
swered the strike call that brought
National Guardsmen.
Her husband George, rs, found
odd jobs growing scarcer with the
years. His trouser knees are patched,
and he recently has been i'll.
Prefers Starving to Low Wages
Now, Mrs. Dillman said today, she
and her husband are offering up
their one right in cause which
she calls just. That right is ito
starve."
I'D rather starve than join the
strike breakers and go to work
without the union" she said.
AS she talked her husband
munched sandwich stringy with
bony meat. Plaster from patched
spots on the wall of her home-a
home on which she hoped to pay off
a mortgage with MIRA wages
dropped beside the crumbs of her
husbands disconsolate sandwich.
Averaged Sill Weekly Under NRA
"Us old ladies doing shirt trim
ming averaged about $22 to $23
every two weeks under NRA scale, "
she explained. 1--WE got cut to about
$18 to $40 every two weeks, and then
they wanted us to take another cut.
I walked out with the union" Her
deaf husband shifted his gaze to
read her lips as she talked.
II could trim about % to % dozen
shirts a day and it was regular
pay. I wasn't a speedy operator but
the sewing I did meant spuds for
all of us-me and my two grand
sons, and him, what with him sick, "
she said as she pointed toward her
husband.
"The two grandsons 1--WE raised
them can't get work either. The
union provides our coal. We had
about $160 of the mortgage to pay
when I went out with the union.
Now we don't pay on that" she ex-
planned.
Her Philosophy on Situation
1--WE may as we'll go hungry as
work on such low wages" she philos-
ophizes.
Her husband brushed few
crumbs from his lap, unmindful of
the conversation.
HE knows what I'm saying even
If he is hard of hearing. I'm his
third wife, but working for him
and the grandsons was something.
I can't do it now and I won't un-
less the union wins. We are not on
relief. Friends help us sometimes
and the union"
Mrs. Dillman folded her hands
and sat rocking by the stove. Her
husbands rocker joined the chorus,
and they sat looking at the crumbs
and chunks of plaster on the floor.

HOT TODDY NOT
CURE FOR COLD,
SAYS PHYSICIAN
Mounting Pneumonia Toll
Here Brings Warning
From Morgan.

You can't cure a cold or a snake
bite by guzzling at the end of a
whisky bottle.
This, in substance, is what DR..
Herman G. Morgan, Health Board
secretary, said today as he read the
mounting list of pneumonia death
records.
All colds are potential forerun-
ners of pneumonia, he said, and the
most effective way to treat a cold is
to call doctor and go to bed. :.
Sixty per cent of the IS pneu-
monia deaths in indianapolis since
Jan. l might have been avoided if
victims had gone to bed during the
first "a hours of sickness, DR.. Nor
gan said.
Trace back the case histories
and you will find many of these peo-
pie. suffered from fatigue" he said.
Over-indulgence in alcohol, in
sufficient exercise, faulty diet, chill,
exposure, damp feet and loss of
sleep all lead to serious ~complica-
tons, he added.
For the last two years pneumonia
has increased it's toll here. There
were SGT deaths from it in 1884, and
651 last year. In December, 101
deaths we're recorded, city records
show, and DR.. Morgan thinks this
figure is to be exceeded this month.
Today the rate here is higher than
it has been at any time since 1918,
year of the influenza epidemic.
Before the World War most pneu-
monia cases here were classified as
bronchialar and lobar types, DR..
Morgan said. Following 1918, ma
jority of cases were listed as influ-
enzal and streptococcic. Now, he
adds, they show swing back to the
old classifications.
But whatever kind it is, DR.. Nor
gan called attention to the vital
necessity of treating colds during
early stages.
