l. X. MEAD. executive editor
Il. of the Dallas Times-Herald.
gives his recollection OF a work
out on the location of the Denver
saloon we mentioned as having
silver dollars imbedded in the
floor. We were somewhat haZy
about the location ourself, but
Mr.. Mead says:
II remember Ii as one, block
around the corner from Tortonis
on Curtis street, which would
place IL on Arapahoe at Seven
teenth. / may be wrong as hell,
but 1 never failed to find II on
dark nights after the pianos In
the Curtis street joints had be-
come annoying"
We believe Mr.. Mead is abso-
lutely correct on the situation of
the silver-dollared drum. now
that he has refreshed our mem-
ory but we would have bet that
Tortoni's was also on Arapahoe
street near Sixteenth.
This would have put 1t about
a block from the Silver Dollar,
all. right. but in a straight line,
instead of around a corner.
WE are not questioning Mr..
w Mead's recollection, which
seems to be much better than
our own.
Many of the most distin-
guished citizens of Denver. how
ever. often left Tortoni's think
ing they were travelling in
straight line, only to discover
later that they were moving in
circles.
We believe this phenomenon
was attributed TO the altitude,
which is normally mile above
the level of the sea in those
parts. but which sometimes
seemed much higher in our day
out there,
TRTONI'S was for years one
l. of the most celebrated places
in the Rocky Mountain West.
1t was particularly noted for
its cuisine. All the hot sports
hung out there. In its heyday it
was probably the finest restau-
rant in Denver. though most
visitors to that city about the
time of Tortoni's came away
remembering a restaurant on
Lawrence called the Manhattan
better than any other.
At the Manhattan you got an
amazing T-bone steak for 50
cents. and the customers would
be lined up outside for half a
block at the dinner hour waiting
to get in.
Tortoni's was much higher
priced. and its bar was heavily
patronized by wine buyers.
We hope and trust that Mr.
Mead does not retain in his
memory the annoying piano in
the Mozart restaurant.
That was where the Frawfey
boys, Paul and Bill, used TO sing.
Paul. then an angelic looking
chap, afterward became one of
the brightest singing stars in
Ziegfeld's Broadway diadem.
He now lives in Hollywood
where Bill is one of the finest
character actors of the screen.
II was while they were work.
ing in the Mozart that young
fellow brought in the manuscript
of A song he had Just written
and asked Paul to sing il TO see
how il sounded.
The young fellow was Ernie
Burnett, and the song, sung for
the first time by Paul. was Mel
ancholy Baby" that classic of
the torch-carriers for almost a
generation.

Red Cross Roll Call
$4,000 Short Of
Campaign Goal
$1,000 Members Enrolled
Sets Record Here; Drive
Ends Tomorrow

The IS 900 volunteer workers who
have conducted this years annual
District Red Cross Roll Call ended
their fifth week of campaigning yes
terday $4,000 memberships short of
their goal of 100000.
AS report books were closed at
noon the total enrolment stood at
17l,0OO. The Roll Call, already eX-
tended one week, will end tomor-
row, according to Chairman Edgar
Morris
Mr.. Morris said several hundred
memberships were turned in yester-
day afternoon too late to be in
cluded in the days report.
Says Goal Will Be Reached.
He said a telephone survey among
leaders of the Roll Call units indi-
Gated the $4,000 enrollments needed
would be obtained. Some group
chairmen said, however, it would be
Tuesday or Wednesday before their
reports could be compiled and sub
mitted for official recording.
To those workers who are con-
tinuing their effort this week end
want to pay tribute" Mr.. Morris
said. The determined spirit of these
volunteer workers is evidenced by
the fact the Roll Call was contin-
ued for a week at their request
when on last Monday night we had
not reached our goal"
At any rate, he pointed out, the
l7l,000 Red Cross enrollments al
ready listed for this year is an all
time record for the Washington
chapter. The total of $4,000 last
year was the previous high.
Safety Drive Planned.
Meanwhile Brig. Gen. F. r. Kee-
fer, chairman of the District chap
