stone indeed and Elmer Todd, for
many years one of Ell Centro's
best known teachers and musicians,
reached that milestone recently and
found that he was not forgotten by
his many friends. The telephone
in the Todd home at Ocean Beach
rang constantly that day as sing
ing telegramS and telephone calls
from all parts of the nation conveyed
CONGRATULATIONS on this occasion.
Letters from every part of the couH-
try, from as far away as San Sal
Vador, were received, and of course
many from El Centre, among them
being a message from EStelle Llv-

and who later was associated with
him in the Academy of Music, that

Ross pointing out however that
you can very easily have orchids

'FORGOODOLD SAINT PAT

WHEN KIERAN OkEEFE,

struggling Broadway actor,
he lived at the San Pedro

TO fall back upon.
When their credit in the
hotel dining room was cut off.
and they were without change
even for coffee at the corner
drugstore, they could appeal
to Katie Kilfeather.

As it turned out. the young

may have been largely be-

He was made a star after half

Katie kilfeather the happiest

But as the seasons passed.
She sorely missed the bright

when she read of his presence
at some big affair. if some
times he did not wish he were
back in his humble cot at the

For as Katie we'll knew,
young OKeefe was at heart a
simple lad, with a gay, free
soul. You could no more pin
him down with money or fame
than cage an eagle.
