BARBER SHOP
HARMONY HAS
Been REVIVED
Many Chapters Alread y
0rganized-To Invade
Central America

TULSA, Okla, May 30-Barber
shop harmony, mellower of mems
hearts, is about to get trial in in
ternational diplomacy.
Mabin B. Walker special represen-
tative of the Society for the Preser-
walton and Encouragement of Bar
Der Shop Quartet Singing in Amer
lea, will leave soon for Central
America
He will carry beribboned creden-
tials showing he is good will am
bassador for the S.P.EB.SQ,S,A.
and he will call on the heads of all
the states he visits.
Naturally, if asked, Walker will
give them sample of good old
American barber shop harmony. He
may even hand out a few embossed
and framed honorary membership
certificates in the S.P.E.B.SQ.S.A.
The governors of Kansas and New
Mexico have received them.
Double Harmony
And there will be the nucleus for
an organization of deep roots and
sentiments to resist the insidious
propaganda and false friendships
the dictator nations over the seas
are reported to be holding out to-
ward our southern neighbors.
This will be barber shop music's
first trial in international relations,
but o. c. Cash of Tulsa, co-founder
and third assistant Vice President of
the society, can quote statistics by
the train load to prove the mellow
ing influence of barber shop har-
nony on mems dispositions.
ITS as American as pumpkin pie,
as democratic as the Constitution, !"
he says. 1.-THE period between 1876
and 1919 was the golden age for
barger shop singing.
THE barber shop, sanctum sane
forum for males, was the most likely
place for harmonizing and there
many of the chords for male voices,
the liquid, sonorous kind we all like
to hit, were developed.
After 1910 barber shop singing
began to die out because bobbed hair
brought women into the barber
shops and the World War started. :"
They Still Like to Sing
But Cash says the record of the
S.P.E.B.SQ.S.A. proves the male
urge to make song never died.
He and a couple of friends de-
cided about year ago to do little
singing, but they needed a bass
voice. They sent out letters to IL
men, hoping one of them would
show up for a singfest. All IL &C
cepted.
That was the foundation for the
S.PEB.S.Q.SA. Now there are 81
chapters of the society scattered
through the nation.

this shimmering story of 17-year-old
womanhood, whose only menace
is found in the flaring quarrels and
intrigues of impetuous youth.
The screen play by Tess Slesinger

ideal vehicle for the several talented
starlets who play important roles.
Anne Shirley, Ralph Bethany and
Nan Grey are featured players, with
welcome support provided by Gloria

score or so of charming youngsters.

with this scene when l came upon
it in a Times Square subway station

There are several vast windows
within the station where current
theatrical hits are advertised, and
in these windows are many large
photographs of the actors and &C
tresses, some of them life-size.
There was one fine portrait OF
Franchot Tone. A young man in a
slightly crushed felt hat with light
topcoat over his arm was looking
at it. He sized it up from head to
foot, smiled, and turned away.

BROADWAY IS
HIT HARD BY
FAIR IN N. Y.
Either Nude Girl Shows or
Warm Weather Swat
ting Show Business
BY GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, May 30.-The fair
got off to a great start in New York
but Broadway felt the strain. Brock
Pemberton, in a mood for tossing of
a good gag or two, was talking about
it after wryly noting the falling off
in receipts at theatrical box offices
around midtown. He said maybe
the nude girly shows had something
to do with it.
OF course the opening was call
culated to take a lot of people away
from Broadway, but we never
thought it would continue. tt must
be the undraped maids out there.
Maybe we ought to get up a counter
attraction for Times Square. That
girl who does the dove dance, for
instance. She hasn't anything on
but flock of doves which flutter
and COO around her.
We might offset that by having
a girl covered with homing pigeons
and have one take off every ten
minutes"
