will be charged to some printer.
Anyway, it gives Hollywood the

Cantor and JOIsOn
Just a coincidence, but the
greatest living entertainer and
the one who still has some claim
on the title, stopped at the table
for a chat with The Washington

Yes, Eddie Cantor and AL Jol-
son. Pop-eyed Eddie has recently
opened an antique shop on the
Sunset Boulevard and he says it
is not to sell his service stripe ra-
do jokes. Really has specimens
going back to Napoleon.
"COme over and see me on
the Fox lot and how about COM
ing out to the house to dinner?"
says the head Of the house of
Cantor.
Al JOISOn Reports
What a place this is for a hun
cry man. Eddie is still rubbing
Rubinoff and recalls how the fid-
dler's last solo in Washington was
interrupted before it began by a
Roosevelt speech.
Until somebody can show a bet
ter Crosley radio rating, do better
at the theater box office, or out
sell his pictures, Banjo-eyes rates
here as the Worlds No. l enter
tainer. Cantor clicked $4,000 in
a six-day week in Boston at the
Metropolitan Theater, Of which
$4,000 went to his bank account.
It stands as the highest paid week
IN the history o. show business.

Analysing Paramount's new pro

Zukor told the 1875 distribution
executives recently attending the
company's annual sales convention
at the Ambassador Hotel, Los
Angeles, that all signs point to the
1898 season as the greatest for
top caliber productions in many
years.
The public demand for big per-

Will he be back on Broadway

Mr.. Jolson is beaming as he
tells me his 85-year-old dad, Rabbi
Yoelson, of Lanier Place North
west, washington, is coming out
here to visit him this week.
HIS LONGEST TRIP
"He's never been that far on
a train before and is getting his
first glimpse of Hollywood"
Papa Yoelson once thought AL
would never amount to much, out
has revised his opinion.
The Trocadero's floor show is
okay, but Gene Ford has often
got together better ones. A very
easy audience for entertainers to
work for and with. They ap-
plaud everything. Biggest WOW act
was provided by the three Peters
girls, Virginia, Annie and Grace.
It's a colored trio, with two Of
the girls heaYyweights, a Ia Kate
smith. They will be featured in
their scat and swing songs and
dances in Eddie Cantor'S new pic
ture.
Entertainers work at the Troca-
dero without remuneration. They
welcome the date as a chance to
appear before Hollywood royalty,
hope to make big enough hit to
attract a movie contract.
