AL SHEAN HAS
 COME BACK ON
 OLD BROADWAY
Famous Laugh Maker of Years Ago Returns
 Tn Serious Role
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Dec 16.--A kindly little man with benign smile and fitted out in the cowl of an Irish monk is reaping a harvest of ap- plause every night in the week and sometimes in the afternoon =. His face and his brogue are as solidly Irish as corncob pipe and a pint of whiskey He is Jew.
 Think back a few years Ten years anyway, perhaps little lon ger "Oh, MT Gallagher Oh, Mir. Gallagher! Hello, whats on your mind this m orning, Mir. Shean.) :. Shean, that's the name :. Al Shean :. In those old hey days of the fabulous Ziegfelds he stepped into a musical show and saw it blossom into a threatrical legend And from it came the Galla- gher- -Shean song, the ballad with la thousand verses :. Yon remem- Der If you didn't know enough verses, you made 'em up It heightened out like fakir's rope, or a chain of sausage links that never, never became exhausted.
 Now come back to Broadway of 1887. Of last week, in fact And travel on down to the St. James, where a curiosly warming surprise packate has been set down by Delos Chappell . It is Father Malachy's Miracle and more well come addition could not be named.
 They go behind the scenes in this play where a Catholic Church is set down across the street from a Scottish nightclub It comes with something of shock to Pro- testants to see several priests walk ing around in their own quarters genuinely human fellows who laugh and wise crack and get off occas- ional witticisms.
 They say that during rehearsals MT Chappell and bis director, Wor- thington Miner. invited one of New York's best known priests down to see that the playwright hadn't made any mistakes-that the behavior of the monks was as it should be- that certain ritualistic features were in keeping with the ritual of the church.
 When the Father witnessed a complete rehearsal he nodded ap- provingly, but added, somewhat dry ly: I'm almost afraid to give this to the laiety for fear they may criti- else us on Sunday" '. But he was chuckling down to the brightly shined toes of his shoes.
 Well, it has been long time since the MT. Shean of Gallagher fame was watching his foolery on mu- sical stage Now, in his seven ties, and with the enthusiasm of a brash youngster, he has started out on a new career He is simply serious actor ..
 And what does he think of it. '. :. I've had 50 years of comedy 50 years of dunce caps and pies thrown in my face-throwing pies they were, too, I'm tired. It's time I acquired a little dignity"
 But. between scenes, and espec- ially when he is applying makeup for his role of the benign friar, he is still apt to break out into a song. The one that goes, "Oh, MT. Gallagher"

Points to Auto Industry

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 2.-The hous-
ing industry, If 1t is to grow as has
the automobile industry, must apply
to its own promotion those merchan-
dising principles which have made
virtually every American family a
car owner, Arthur R. Herske, vice
president and general manager OF
sales Of large building supply manu-
featuring firm, said in a statement
issued here today
Failure OF the building trades to ap-
preciate their greatest opportunity, the
mass market, has not only retarded
home ownership. Herske said, but it
has forced the large majority OF our
people to be satisfied with second hand
living quarters
Pointing to the accomplishments OF
the automobile industry, Herske said
that 1t had directed its appeal to
the mass market, the 80 per cent
OF the Nations families with annual
incomes OF $4,000 or less a year. AS a
result, TO per cent OF the cars sold
each year are bought by the members
OF this group.
Appeal Limited.
Analyzing conditions in the hous-
ing industry, he said that 1t had
neglected this mass market by con-
centrating its appeal on the 7 per
cent OF the country's families with
incomes of better than 5000 annually.
Existence of such situation, he con-
tlnued, made 1t mandatory for most

families either to buy or rent second
hand dwellings.
Herske's formula for approaching
the problem divides itself into three
steps, as follows:
l. Slum clearance, covering families
whose incomes are less than $1,000
q year.
2. Great mass market, whose in
comes vary up to $1,000.
3. High income group. whose in
comes are In excess of $4,000
"Sociologists and municipal housing
bureaus can properly provide through
Government subsidy adequate housing
for the first, or low-cost group. Con-
struction volume here" Herske con-
tinued. should not exceed IS per cent
Of the total annual housing indus
try in a normal year.
Upper Group Left Free.
GAS for the third, or high income
group, no provisions need be made"
he said. "as such homes can and
should continue to utilize the services
Of individual architects and rely upon
builders responsibility, architects
specifications and manufacturers ex-
perience in permitting the particular
whims Of the owner to take form"
Referring to the second, or mass
group, Herske directed attention to
a suggestion for bringing buyer and
builder together. saying:
In view OF the fact that a mai
part Of the national wealth in this
country lies in realty holdings and in
view OF the fact that home owner
ship is construed as a bulwark of
strength against 'isms Of alien in
fluence and despite the fact that
cooperative organizations are today
advocating mobile army OF workers,
1t is not economically justifiable to
suggest to the industrial organizations
OF America that they extend every
effort toward determining from the
ranks Of their employees those indi-
viduals with reasonable continuity
OF employment who might be in
fluenced to purchase home?
