Puddin' Head
Opens Tuesday
at Mdc0mb

oFour distinct careers in show
business is the amazing record of
Alma Kruger, screen character
actress, Importantly cast in Re-
public's "Puddin' Head" hilar-
ious comedy starring Judy Can
ova, which opens three-day run
Tuesday at the Macomb Theatre.
Miss Kruger was still in her
teens when she gave up the Sc
cure and peaceful life of a we'll
TODD Pittsburgh family to 60 on
the stage. She had received her
education in the public schools
of Pittsburgh, at Curry Univer-
sity, and at The American Acad-
envy Of Dramatic Art, and al
though quite young. soon became
leading woman to famous TRACE
dian Louis James, playing Juli-
cite, Lady Macbeth and most OF
the other Shakespearean hero
ines.
For many years afterwards,
she played with Mantell, Soth-
ern and Marlowe, as we'll as re-
ceiving starring roles in many
Broadway productions not of a
classical nature.
Then came the time-as 1t in
evitably does come to all &C
tresses-when she stopped being
a leading lady. Still quite young,
she was not ready to retire alto
gether. She tried to interest her
self in business, operating a gift
shop, and trying her hand at
peddling real estate. But it was
an unfortunate venture; there
was not a modicum of pleasure
in such activity for her. Admit
tedly, it was the low period in
her life.
The chance came then for Miss
Kruger to become character
actress. She accepted with ala
Gritty, and, bolstered by all her
experience on the stage, was
soon hailed as foremost in her
field. Among the famous plays
in which she has had important
roles are Men Must Fight,
Pride and Prejudice, Few
Are Chosen, John Brown
Cradle Song and Children S
Hour.
1t was also during this period
that she turned to radio. In be-
tween shows, she participated in
countless network shows origin
ating in New York, including
THE Goldbergs," "Showboat,"
end many Radio Guild presenta-
tons.
William Wyler, the film d.
rector, meanwhile had seen Miss
Kruger in the stage production,

For the first time in years,
members Of the Old Crowd are
asked to contribute their his
torical mementos for use at
the 61st annual reunion at the
Cudworth Cottage on Thurs
day.
Frank Ullrich, who beats a
wicked snare drum in the Old
Crowd band, got the idea OF
bringing back the past yesterday
after we showed him several
pictures loaned us by Art DON
aldson.
Art gave US three pictures.
One was taken August Is,
1900, on one of the two Occa-
sions Old Crowd members
took the ladies along on their
outing.
Another shows the steamer
Paulina about to tow a barge
load of Old Crowders from
fuckers Dock on the Clinton
sometime before the turn of the
century. The third, taken in
1903, is a shot Of the Mount
Clemens Hurting and Fishing
Club, a popular rendezvous OF
Old Crowders.
Franks attic gave up sever
al old invitations including one
for the seventh annual re-
union on Thursday, August Is,
1889. The invitation an
nounces: "The crowd will as
semble at the Sherman House,
at a. m. with music and ban
ners; at $40 embark on the
steam yacht Adele. and pro-
coed down the Clinton River:
at 500 D. M, reception to the
New Crowd at the club house,
fireworks, etc"
George F. Lewis was president
that year, on the executive board
were George M. Croker, James
F. Brennan A. T. Donaldson. E.
w. Lewis and Albert Tucker; Ed.
Shook was chief of the bass
drum and w. J. Daley was SER

All of those gentlemen, too,
are dead, but in many instances
their sons are prominent Old
Crowd members. Trufant Shoe
maker and Art Donaldson sue
ceeded their fathers as secretary
and treasurer respectively, and
still hold those posts. Other sons
are: Frank and DR.. Russell Ull-
rich, Mayor Donald r. Weston
dorf and Bert Nunneley. Grand
sons include Bill Nunneley, now
at Fort Custer, and jim Nunne-
ley, admitted to membership last
year.
Another memento found
was a set of bylaws drawn up
at the 1890 reunion. Some
members will be surprised to
learn that Article Is provides
the following: "No member
shall be eligible to hold office
unless he has been . member
In good standing for five years,
or hold the office Of president
unless he has been a member
in good standing for ten years.
This bylaw shall not apply to
the executive committee" We
know one officer now vigOr-
ously campaigning for his
third one year term who was
admitted to membership In
1898.
Secretary Shoemaker told us
yesterday that Attorney Robert
Eldredge has turned over two
old pictures to him. One dupli-
Gates Arts picture of the Paul
ina. but the other was taken at
the reunion in 1897. 1t is the
later picture, incidentally. that
has been reproduced on the re-
union invitations of late years.
II you have old invitations,
programs or pictures, turn
them over to Frank ut the
County Treasures office. He
has already built q bulletin
board which will display the
mOmentos on Old Crowd Day.
incidentally. L. Stanley Cady,
who last year was advanced to
the status of q snare drummer,
is burning the midnight oil to
improve his technique. Guess he
wants to stay on the beat this
year.
BY this time. you may have
gathered that We are more
than slightly interested In the
Old Crowd. Yup, we've been
member since 1898 and
we're darned proud cf u.

to clear up the local radio inter-

from various places concerning
methods used in getting rid Of I'M

A reply has been received from

each resident put filter on the

According % he reports received
from city officials the work is pro
crossing rapidly and very definite
improvement has been noted
1t is agreed that for the amount
of money the average person has
tied up in radio receiving sets, the
small charge made to put line
filter on the house would be very
reasonable in comparison to the
amount of good received.

Drive Nov On
For Ticket Sole

The Libby Concert Association
drive for memberships for this COM

Spouse is averaging about SO per
cent of those contacted being in
terested. Mrs. Walter Neils, chair
man, is being assisted by members
of the five service organizations in
town and an effort is being made
to reach everyone who might pos
sibly be interested. However,
there are always few who aren't
home or can't be reached in some
way, SO If anyone is missed who
would like to buy membership
card, they may get them at the Lii
brary before June Is. Lion Presi-
dent Paul Church prepared list
and districts in town and people
are being given the chance to make
their wishes known.
The deadline for buying tickets
is June 18th and perhaps a further
explanation will serve to help pros
pective buyers to realize the neces-
sity for a closed date. The COM
munity concerts all over the United
States are carried on in this man
ner, the drive being held immedi-
ately after the last concert of the
season Directors in Spokane, Kali
ispell, the University artists, and
others have warned the local or
ganization that this plan is neces-
sary because the artists have to be
scheduled nearly a year ahead. II
some people can buy tickets later,
most of them would prefer to do
so but that would leave the COM
mittee without funds to hire artists
OF course, no one knows if they
will be in town, or sick, such long
time ahead but last year a number
of people were able to let someone
else use their tickets for the even
ing they missed.
The tickets are $500 and that, il
enough are sold, will bring Mildred
billing, the harpist, and some other
concert for season next year Mil
dred Dilling will be here about
February if we get sufficient num-
Der of members.
Remember June 18th is the dead
line. Get your membership at the
library If you don't buy it else
where!
