comes a habit, and, as the song
writer puts it. "The Thrill Is
Gone"
The opening night of any
Ziegfeld show always was some
thing of a thrill because of its
color, glamor and the roster OF
big gname personalities out front.
Strangely enough, two Of my
outstanding thrills are assocl-
ated with England and the Brit
ish people.
There was a time in 1885
when the Prince of Wales, now
the Duke of Windsor, sent for
me to entertain him one night
during his stay on Long Island.
I met the prince and sang for
him until the wee sma' hours OF
the morning. Thrilled? prac-
tically tingled, and you can
mark this down as a highllght
event in any mans life.
The other incident concern.
ing England was when I ar
rived at the Victoria station on
a visit to London. The station
was literally packed with
people.
It was incredible that this
tremendous crowd would gather
to see a skinny guy with pop
eyes who grew UP on the side
walks Of New York and half the
time in the gutter.
Maybe I'm going overheard
with my confession when tell
you that tears streamed down
my face as the cry from the
mob went up, welcome,
Eddie!"
Still another big moment was
the time when a national radio
survey announced that one out
of every four people in the
United States and Canada
tuned in to hear our broadcast
the largest listening audience
on the air. Was I thrilled!
But now I come to the su-
preme thrill. It happened back
in 1921 and concerns a man
who was one of my greatest
friends-Will Rogers.
Will was one Of the most oe-
loved of all actors, as well as
the most popular. His Zee 10

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Oct. Is.
As I look back after Is years in
show business, I realize there
have been some truly, great
moments-and my heart still
skips a beat when think of the
first one. -,
I was a kid Of 16. DiScour-
aged, broke and hungry, I de-
ceided to make the first dollar
in many weeks by appearing at
Miners Bowery Theater on an
amateur program. This really
took nerve, because in those
days a Bowery audience was
more likely to holler, "Give i'm
the hook" than to shout,
Bravo"
I, too, am a spectator now as
I watch young Edward Cantor
step for the first time on a
regular stage in 1908. His face
was pinched to a tight green,
his eyes fairly popped with
fright.
Edward began: I'm going to
give a few first-hand imper-
sonations of leading stars with
out makeup" Most of the ac-
tors he had never seen, but he
had seen their impersonations.
Then followed several imper-
sonations, topped by one of
Junie McCree, a famous come
dian Of the day. This last bit
Of business brought the house
down. There was a rumble of
stamping feet, shrill whistling
and a thin shower Of coins that
pelted the backdrop.
Young Cantor had scored and
was on his way.

big moment-a thrill that can
come to any man.
I had been courting Ida for
many months, but had never
known for sure how she felt
about me. Finally came the
great day when I asked her to
marry me and she answered
with Gee. Eddie! think you're

LECTURE SERIES
White House Reserves Box
for Washington Forum,
BEGINNING Wednesday.

A box for the Washington Forum
series OF 1878 lectures at Consti-

use Of President Roosevelt and his
family or staff, Jesse H. Knight,
chairman Of the Forum Executive
Board, announced yesterday.
Reservations have been received
from many Of the foreign embassies
and from a number of local colleges,
universities and schools, he said.
H. G. Wells, British novelist-phi-
losopher, will open the series with q
lecture at Constitution Hall Wednes-
day evening. His lecture will be based
on the paper he delivered recently
before the British Association for the
Advancement of Science on the sub
ject of the World Brain"
: Mr.. Wells believes there is danger
of a new world war, which can be
deferred or even prevented by world
wide education, not necessarily OF
the pacifist type. but which will enable
the average person to understand and
appreciate fully the folly and waste
of war.
He believes that world scientific
advancement, increasing interdepend-
ence of the peoples of the world and
the abolition of distance are factors
which will make world cooperation
and coordination inevitable. He feels
that we must reshape human affairs
