When a show comes to town, its
the towns talk-just like all small
towns, Last week the Jimmy Cooper
Black and White Revue was here
and from all indications it went
over in big way.
Well, as live and breathe, big
time entertainer has just returned
from a weeks stay in Chicago. OF
course. Miss Irene Easterly, you
know there are more houses than
churches. After Miss Easterly
pitched light fog, she was asked
TO find one of those houses which
had a spare room. because mamma

This boy, Albert Malone is too
much. You'd better slow down
young man and you do know what
I'm talking about.
Proctor LyIes. the boy friend from
Willard hotel who was running hot
"a year ago. is just a has-been now.
He was seen last week at one of the
high spots on slow time.
Chester Hardy, the manager Of
the Hunters club, is just a little
cheap. OF course most of YOU know
that when a manager steals a paper
he is on the small scale. At leas:
I'd say that On, yes -hettfi-pay the
nickel when he reads this.
AS the weather is breaking, I'm
sure l will be seeing many Of the
playboys from Canton avenue. Fat
Head. Brown Sugar" and Willie
King. those boys haven't been seen
in the high spots for some time.
The Corner Bar again has record
crowds. The Bar is packing them
in Saturday nights. It was like Il
good show-a full house. The doors
were closed for two hours because
there wasn't any standing room.
Good times are here again at the
Corner Bar, the Golden Pheasant
and other high spots. Miss Nellie
Carr is also doing her number
which brought out bunch where
the bugs Utter.
Criss Moore got off in big way
on his birthday, with four mellow
chicks. Boys, your wife can't stand
this. but I'm with you. Put on the
ritz.
As I've said before chances go
round. this time Andrew B. has
been seen in all the high spots with
a mellow chick, who by the way is
awful easy on the eyes. Boys, he's
making popping grand.
Professor Ungatil was TO return to
the city in time for this issue but
for some reason. he hasn't returned
at this writing. But you can write
to Professor Ungatil, Oil City Park,
Toledo, Ohio. He will be with you

District Dispensay
System Endorsed by
Citizens Association

Authorizes Detailed
Study Of Proposal

The Bladensburg Road Citizens
Association last night voted q de-
tailed study Of the proposal to set
up a system of District dispensaries
and meanwhile Endorsed the plan.
R. F. Ryan. speaking in favor Of
dispensarieS, stated that the District
could do much to reduce its burden
on taxpayers by the adoption of the
plan. "District-owned dispensaries
would solve the question of minors
purchasing liquor from irresponsi-
BILE clerks" he said. Surely the
District could make a large part of
its taxes in a $4,000, 900 business
such as the liquor business has
grown into in the last year in the
District. And the numbers of minors
intoxicated would decrease from the
total OF 1,640 Of last year.
In connection with the liquor plan
the association asked that for the
present a study be made of all driv-
ers involved in accidents to deter
mine If liquor Is the cause of q
larger percentage. A revision of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Act to
prevent liquor stores in the imme-
diate vicinity Of churches, schools
and residential areas was Endorsed.
A member Of the Citizens Com
mittee of Fair Taxation addressed
the group and asked its help In
obtaining an income tax instead OF
the proposed sales tax for the
District.
