II once had lunch here with
Mcintyre and Heath just before
Mcintyre had paid a fabulous
sum for new set of teeth-but
he couldn't eat with them that
day. That meal was one of the

had, and much of the banter"
later went int otheir acts.
Roland Robbins, manager of the
Trans-Lux, said:
Man an argument has waXed

The public never could decide.
Heath had the dryer wit, some
said, but McIntyre's mannerisns
were just as funny"
c. Fred Clarke, now with tbs

about a time when the famous
blackface artists didn't go over SC

shouts to Thomas K. Heath:
"Who was that lady I seen
you with last night?"
And Heath, his mock indigna-
ton rolling the little angels on
their clouds, replies:
THAT wasn't no lady-that
was nah wife!"
HEATH is DEAD
Yes, heaven is filled with mirth
today, for Thomas Heath is dead.
Once more together, the nations S
most loved minStrels, separated by
human indifferences, are playing
an eternal date-together!
The booking was done by
Death, in this case a kindly
parsonage, who folded the S5-year,
old comedian in swift heart at
tack at Heath's home in Setauket,
Long Island, last night. The fam

stricken with pralysis a year ago,
while his one-time partner, James
Mcintyre, lay dying across the

of McIntyre's passing.
The 60-year partnership-often
broken by temperamental out
bursts on both their parts-waS
never really severed. From the
day in San Antonio, Tex, when
the two stepped out on the stage

conquered burlesque, vaudeville,
musical comedy and motion pic,
lures, neither was ever happy
without the other.
THEY MET IN 1874
Heath was born in Philadelphia,
and was playing a vaudeville act
with George Howard in San
Antonio in 1874, when Howard
was stricken. Mcintyre, a rail
road candy butcher" from Ken
oska, Wis, was on the same bill,
and doubled up with Heath to
save the booking.
Together they stayed, playing
fairs, and passing the hat, going
with Sells Brothers circus, rising
to Hamlin'S old coliseum in Chi
cago, and then to New York's old
Madison Square Garden. Howe's
London circus knew them, as did

MAYOR DEMANDS
SEWAGE PLANT
ON ANACOSTIA
0sterman Puts Action
Up to Sanitary Body

Mayor Vincent A. Osterman, Of
Bladensblrg, demanded today that
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary District proceed Immediately
with construction of a sewage dis
poSal plant on the upper reaches
of the AnacoStia River.
The Chevy Chase. Bet h e d a
Chapter Of the Izaak Walton
League Wednesday night asSailed
the Sanitary District commission
ers for failing to build the plant.
At the present time Sanitary Dis
trict trunk line sewers carry the
untreated wastes from a wide
area of Prince Georges county and
dump them into the Anacostia
River where they must be carried
through the southeast section OF
Washington.
MAYOR WILL ACT
Mayor Osterman said he would
make elimination of pollution a
special order of business at a
meeting of the Bladensburg town
council September 2.
The sanitary district, he said,
should take advantage of the of.
fer by Secretary Ickes to regard
favorably applications to the Pub
lie Works Administration for Fed
eral funds to build sewage disposal
plants in the Potomac watershed.
"It seems to me-" he said,
"that the sanitary district
should take advantage of this
chance to get some money from
the Government and clean up
the Anacostia River.
UP TO SANITARY DISTRICT
THE people of Bladensburg
and the people of the Southeast
in Washington are suffering be-
cause the sanitary district
doesn't build a sewage disposal
plant outside Of Bladensburg.
1--WE are getting complaints
from people around here who
don't like the odor Of the river
and I don't blame them for
kicking"
He said he would urge the town
council to demand that the Sani-
tary district act and expressed a
hope that other town councils
would make similar demands.
