In 1905 on the open-air pavil-
lion in the seaside town Of Rhyl,
North Wales, young Jack Hylton
played piano and sang profes-
Sionally for the first time, and re-
ceived from hat collections what
amounted to a couple pounds per
week-the equivalent in our coin
to $40.
Fifteen years later the same
Jack Hylton managed and pro
duced the Midnight Follies, which
opened at Queens Hall Roof, In
the exclusive west end Of London
and inaugurated the new cabaret
type show in Britain. One Of his
features was the American Trix
sisters and along with other en-
tertainers, then on the first rung
Of the ladder, were Jack Buchanan
and Beatrice Lille.
In 1928, when he cut loose and
played his first theater date with
a newly organized band, the AL
hambra Theater, in London, held
him for 36 weeks, longest stay or
record in any London house.
Among notables played before
are Won Hindenburgh, King OF
Italy, King of Belgium. President
of Switzerland and three presi
dents Of France. President Poin
caire,. of France, bestowed the
Legion Of Honor for his notable
work in music. In Paris he still
remains as the only dance band to
play the opera house.

When Yascha Bunchuk waves

from Tschaikowsky's Romeo and

IA years ago when he was finish
ing his first season in this coun-
try, as concert cellist for Walter
Damrosch's New York Symphony.
This was the last concert Of the
1922 spring season at Carnegie
Hall. Roxy sat in the audience
while Yascha led the cello section
in this same Romeo and Juliet.
That night hackstage Roxy came
with Walter Damrosch to see Bun
chuk and the next day he was
signed by Roxy as assistant con-
ductor, and concert cellist with
the Capitol Theater, where five
years later he became conductor.

can. Since that time they have
crossed the water over a score Of

other vaudeville act, and are the
only comedy talking act to work

A BLIND PIANIST
Two years ago in Bonn, Ger
many, where the government has
set aside the home Of Beethoven
as a shrine, a young blind pianist
was allowed to play the 200-year'
old spinet of the famed deaf COM
poser, an exceptional honor. This
pianist was Alec Templeton, artist
on this weeks Earle bill.
Alec has played since the age
of 2 and at the age of IA played
Beethoven's Concerto No. 5 IN E
Flat Minor, otherwise known as
The Emperor" and one Of the
most difficult movements, as con-
cert pianist with the Cardiff SYM
phony of 10, in the home town
of Cardiff, South Wales. Three
years later in a contest open to
all amateurs and professionals of
the United Kingdom Of Great
Britain, out of $4,000 entrants, he
won first prize-a grand piano.
He is a graduate of the Royal

and Erik Charrell, English director
has been brought over to stage the
mammoth enterprise in the Rock
efeller house which seats 4,500.
Charrell put on white Horse
Inn" in London where it ran a
solid two years.
Comedian Murray was solicited
by Director Charrell to play the
lead. He likes the idea except for
the fact that it calls for singing
three songs very important to the
action. Murray can sing but not
good enough to challenge Everett
Marshall.
In the meantime Steve Trilling,
Warner Bros, stage booker wants
Comic Murray to give the Earle

act using Eve Arden and Sassa-
fras, the O-Yeeeeeah man of his
