With Star in Show.
at LoeW'S.

Eddie Cantor and his general
stooge and heckler, Parkyakarkus,
are coming to Loew'S Friday in Ed
dies new musical, Strike Me Pink"
The picture marks the screen debut
of Mr.. Cantor's Greek dialect radio
partner, and includes Sally Eilers,
Ethel Norman and 200 chorus girls
in the supporting cast.
Based on a magazine story by
Clarence Buddington Kelland,
Strike Me Pink" is said to have
more story interest than many Of

of { timid tailor who loves a night

personal magnetism to overcome his
timidity, and winds up as the owner
of huge amusement park.
Eddie was of the opinion, during
the filming of the new picture, that
being funny was a 24-hour a day
job, as well as a serious business.
Wrote Part of Script
Besides being the star, he wrote
much of the script and inserted most
of the laughs. He worked with the
principals on their Characterization
He discussed directorial problems
and aided in selection of chorus

and two performances, Cantor was
free to go home-and start worrying
over the next days Shooting" or

But He Can
Work, Also
Joseph CaIIeia Is Familiar
With Tricks of Many
Trades.
BY PAUL HARRISON

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 18.-(NEA)-
A versatile fellow, Mr.. Joseph
Calleia. Just now he is in the vii
lain business, but if he ever tires
of being hated by the screen fans
he can turn to any one of several
familiar occupations.
He is pretty good at firing fur
mace, and is handy around a car
barn. He has played the harmonica
professionally, gnd sings tenor
creditably enough that he has
earned his keep on concert tour
of Europe and in musical comedy.
No Scotsman, he nevertheless, can
do a Scotch turn in vaudeville, hav-
ing been exposed to Sir Lauder at
an impresSionable age.
Mr.. Calleia has composed some
pieces for the piano. has rewritten
one play and adapted one movie,
has been a successful stage man.
ager, is writing two original plays
in his spare time, and is figuring on
becoming a screen director. And if
worst comes to worst, he can al
ways go back to selling pianos.
AS to origin, Mr.. Calleia is NAL
tese. He was born on the Island of
Malta, where his father was, and
still is, an architect. His ancestry
was Spanish, Italian, German and
English, with Latin characteristics
dominant in the actor.
Besides being Maltese, Mr.. Calleia
was black sheep. His three BROTH
erS fulfilled conventional destinies as
a priest, a college professor and an
electrical engineer. Joseph just
monkeyed around at play-acting.
His father so strenously objected
to the idea that, when the boy left
home to go on the stage, he used
his mothers name, becoming Joseph
Spurin. Eight years later, estab-
lished as an actor in England, he
was visited by the formerly outraged
father and begged to reassun1e his
right name.
AS compromise, he became
Joseph Spurin- Calleia, and was thus
known on Broadway. The "Splrin'
was dropped when he ventured to
Hollywood, for purposes of sirlplif1-
cation.
While knocking on wood, Mr.
Calleia will say that he never has
been in a flop show. But there were
plenty of times when he was out OF
a job altogether. Those were the
intervals when he worked in a cal
barn, fired furnaces, and sold pianos
The latter job was selected by
shutting his eyes and Stabbing 9
pencil into the help-wanted ads Of
newspaper. 1t was house-to- house
canvassing, but Mr.. Calleia did very
well, making two or three sales a
week and a tidy commission.
His boss was astonished anc
deeply grieved when Mr.. Calleia re-
signed and explained that piano
peddling was not his life's great
mission. He had a role in new
show.
The agency manager went to see
the show, then wrote a little note
1t said, Dear Joe: / will not say
you are bad actor, but you sure
are born piano salesman. We will
