Lehr and Belle, light patter and songs. Yes,
Lew sang. -
But now we get to the crux of the matter.
Even then, Lew was more than comedian.
He was shrewd, clever creative Snowman.
He not only wrote his own acts but wrote acts
for a lot of other performers. And when vaude-
vile began to fade, he told his wife: Pack up
the trunks I'm going to New York and be
writer"
Mrs. Lehr never questions her lord-and-
masters decisions She did remark dryly:
That's just what New York needs another
writer" But she went right ahead with the
packing.
Despite New York S surfeit of writer's, Lew,
sure enough, was soon ensconced in an elegant
office in Steinway Hall, along with a couple of
other fellows, turning out vaudeville skits and
songs at fat prices for such stars as Texas
Guinan, Bert Lahr, Bea Lille and Georgia
Price You see, the man really is good.
But even in lush New York. vaudeville sal
aries were hitting new lows, and customers for

programs, and then ran into man who had

smokers and club shows. BY the time Lew Yaa
twelve, he had an act of his own. featuring al
trapeze With troupe of youngsters, hel
played churches and clubs. The fees ranged
all the way from two dollars down to bagI
of candy
Lew was star football player, too. When
he got out of high school, he went on to Buck
nell, but only stayed through the football
season The lure of showmanshlp was tool
much for him. and he joined vaudeville act

His Funniest Moke-Up

and Lew was about to sail. when the United,
States entered the World War. Lew enlisted.
He says he got an old Spanish War uniform,
funnier than any makeup ne has ever worm
since In spite of it, he was made sergeant
because he had a good loud voice for shouting|
orders.
Three days after he was out of the Army,
Lew was back on the vaudeville stage With
two of his fellow war veterans. Having just
eighteen dollars among them, they played mi
khaki - and went big in New York for six
months.
Then Lew quit to become a businessman.
He sold real estate in Philadelphia, and|
made lot of money. He lost it in Florida.
Having married in the meantime, he went

INCIDENTALLY, if anybody is still looking for
that perfect movie-star marriage that Holly

Lew and Mrs Lew. Maybe it is because Lew
is only a part-time star - though his audi
ence, conservatively estimated at forty five
million weekly in the movies plus twelve or
fifteen million on the RADIO is probably bigger
than that of any other actor or actress in
the business; in any case, he has been happily
married to one and the same wife for twenty
years.
They were both Philadelphia kids. Lewis

it's Mister Lehr!
Or is it?
The fact is, students, we have here very
interesting case of double identity. There is the
Lew Lehr everybody knows, the fellow who
leers out at you every week from newsreel
and makes goofy comments on monkeys bath
ing beauties, wrestlers and other miscellany.
Then there is the Lew Lehr nobody knows -
or almost nobody - who is believe it or not,
one of the busiest high-powered executives IN
the moving picture business.
You thought all he had to do was to wind
up that face and talk funny? No, that's Just
a little side line that he tosses off in odd mo-
ments. That's Dokter Lew, the funnyman.
Most of the time he is Mister Lefr. short
subjects editor for Movetone. He has charge
of travelogues, sports shorts and - no KID
ding - fashion previews Imagine what would
happen if he got mixed up and began inserting
a Dokter Lew commentary into an exotic
moonlight sequence in Timbuktu. Now dey

But the plain truth is that Mister Lehr has
Dokter Lew very we'll in hand, and keeps him
firmly in his place. In fact. you could sit all
day witt, Editor Lehr in his office at the New
York studios of Movetone and never once be
reminded that he is also Dokter Lew except
by the pictures on the wall and the uptilted
mustache which, no matter how carefully 1t
is groomed, insists on looking slightly screWy.
For the rest, the man you would be sitting
with is an earnest executive in rimless glasses

Since the electorate has adopted

abolishing state ad valorem tax
es, and consequently reducing
state revenue something more
than S2.OOO,OOO, annually, some
legislators are worrying over re-
peal of the one-half of one per-

this were done, it would reduce
the states income another ST.

pect IN spite of the fact that

gagged in business is beginning to
wonder if the state is not headed

of a new governors positive
