ago, who seems to be stepping
up in the amusement world.
Here it is:
My dear Mr.. Kelley:
It's been such q long time
since I've seen you that I'm
afraid you won't remember the
little girl who played at the
Capitol Theater and got one of
your nice reviews.
I'm in London now and my
partner, Chester FrederickS, and
/ have been over here for five
weeks.
We played one week in Dub
lin, Ireland, and another in
Glasgow, Scotland. Now we are
at the Palladium Theater in
London for two weeks. And am
/ excited? I'm afraid I'll trip
over q Duke or an Earl.
We have had an offer to go
into the "Crazy Show" which
is the annual Palladium revue
and runs six months or more.
Patricia Bowman made it two
years ago. I do hope we can
close for it. in which case I'll
drop you another line.
/ wanted to write to you and
let you know of my work. You
were always so kind in helping
me to get started, and / want
you to know how deeply I ap-
preciate your encouragement.
Sincerely,
LA NELLIE AVERY.
is IT AS GOOD?
The jitterburgs can have their
swing bands, and make it easy
for what's left of vaudeville"
bookers. The radio can furnish
more and more microphone acts
and the dancing schools can
turn out a new army of tap
hooters.
I just contend that grandpa
got better shows. And I leave
it to Harry Anger, or Sidney
Piermont, if these available acts
of a generation ago didn't have
something on today's headlin-

Nat Wills, Annette Keller

I better stop right here before
I have Freddy Clark, and some
Of the old Keith regulars, in
tears. Today the booker says,
II wanna couple of acts to 60
with so and SOS band"
The only improvement over
the old days is that you can buy
more show for a quarter Cup

dreamed Of, and you can see
1t in a modern, air-cooled thea
ter. down front, If you like.
But is 1t as good as old-time
vaudeville? Not by a couple Of
stolen bows and an encore

THREE FIRES IN EASTERN MASS.
One Man Dead, Another Missing-About $2OO,-
 900 in Damages

Boston, Dec. D. (UP)-Eastern Massachusetts counted one man dead, another missing and over $200, 1000 in damage today as result of three major fires in near-zero weather.
 The worst fire occurred in Pea body, where for eight hours firemen from Peabody, Salem and Lynn battled to control flames that de- stroyed the three-story wooden Sawyer block in the business sec- ton. Early today roomer still was missing and damage was estimated at $150,0OO.
 At Maiden ,one employe was killed and another injured severely when an explosion followed by fire de- stroyed 8 shoe cement factory, cracked windows OF a nearby hos pital and damaged three homes and two garages. Damage was $40,0OO.
 One Burned Severely One man was burned severely early today as a three-alarm fire swept the locker and equipment building of the Columbia Yacht club in South Boston, causing $15,000 damage.
 The missing man at Peabody was James Fleming, 65, leather worker who roomed on the second floor. When fellow-lodgers reported that he was trapped in his room, Captain George Jacques and Ladderman Charles Flynn entered the second floor by ladder, but halfway along the corridor to Fleming's room were forced back by smoke and flame. Shortly afterward, the roof and floors collapsed, making further search irn- possible. At dawn firemen were poking through the blackened ruins looking for the body.
 Lodger Unconscious Another lodger, Michael Shana- han, 73, was found unconscious from smoke inhalation on the third floor. Revived, he was hospitali1ed. Eff teen other lodgers escaped unas- sisted. The fire apparently started in the first floor, where Gourley & Morrissey's market and Sawyers dry goods store, the oldest store in town, were situated.
 The Maiden explosion was at tributed to spark from a switch in the fume-filled shoe cement fac tory. Leonard Barrett, 28, of Clifton- dale, was killed and a fellow em- ploye, Frank Owens, 58, injured se- verely. Doctors and internes from adjacent Maplewoo dhospital, where windows were cracked by the con- cussion, pulled Owens from the wreckage but not until police and firemen arrived was the cement block which crushed Barrett re- moved.
 Fred Connolly, a club member, was burned when he attempted to extin- guish the yacht club fire. Two other members were driven out in night clothes.
 A $5O,OOO Joseph Guarnerius vio- lin was carried to safety late yes- terday when fire swept through an airshaft of a seven-story Park Square building, in which musical instrument shop was situated, Thirty women in the building climbed from windows to an adjoin- | ing roof when smoke and flame blocked exits.

. a bench yesterday by Senior Judge J. Warren Davis, head of the special court. He said the three remaining judges would decide the appeal.
 It was believed this might end the controversy started when attorneys for the Congress or Industrial Or- ganizations and the American Civil Liberties Union protested that Judge Davis had packed the court against them.
 The case originated at Newark, N., J., where Judge William H. Clark granted the CIO and ACLU an in- junction restraining Mayor Hague and other Jersey City officials from interfering with their mass meet ings. Handbill distributions and

MAYOR HAGUE IS
 STILL TROUBLED

Philadelphia, Dec. 2 - UP.) = The withdrawal of two members of the special five-judge appellate court hearing the Jersey City, N. J., civil liberties case, was attributed today to charges that the court had been
 packed" in favor of Mayor Frank Hague.
 E The withdrawals of retired Judges Joseph Burlington and J. Whitaker Thompson were announced from the

speeches.
 Jersey City officials appealed. Judge Davis constituted a special court by recalling retired Judges Burlington and to sit with him and the judges appointed to succeed them. The CIO ind the ACLU went directly to the United States Su- preme court three weeks, ago, re- questing that the case be taken away from this special five-judge court. The supreme court rejected the plea. Judge Burlington remarked that the supreme court thereby had "reprimanded" the CIO and ACLU Morris Ernst, ACLU counsel, pro- tested that Judge Burlington had disqualified himself by the remark.
