NEW YORK-The late Lew
Fields left more than tradition
for the American theater. He left
two sons and a daughter, gifted
and wise, who have accom-
plished the next to impossible-four
stage hits running at one time on
Broadway.
Joseph Fields, in collaboration
with Jerome Chodorov, wrote MY
Sister Eileen" year on Broadway
Dec. 26, and Junior Miss" new
this fall and, like its predecessor,
comedy of family life based on
sketches from the New Yorker.
Herbert Fields wrote Panama
Hattie" with B. G.. Buddy De-
sylvia, and Herbert and Dorothy
Fields wrote Let's Face It," which
raised Danny Kaye to stardom. Both
are musical comedies, and Pan
ANA Hattie" too, has been on
Broadway more than a year.
DoroEly's 57th Street kitchen
door is inst across the hall from
Rosie's kitchen door, which makes
it nice because the widowed Rosie,
once the 'prettiest girl on the east
side" is the mother of these three.
Dorothy, tall slender brownette,
is one of those rare hostesses who
can make a stranger feel he is
paying a return visit at the home
of friends.

Beautiful Hotel Open For Business
In Meridian

The Beauty Rest Hotel, 504, De-
tween 25th and 26th Avenues, in
Meridian is now a reality. Without
a doubt, this new hotel is the most
n~9ern and up-to-date hotel operated
by members of our group in the
State. Not only is it the most mod
ern in the State, but it is the most
modern in several States, and es-
pecially in the South. The hotel
idea was born in the minds of Rev.
R. L. Young, Rev. E. F. Young and
E. F. Young, Jr. The hotel is owned
by them.
In travelling through Meridian,
stop by and inspect this modern ac-
complishment. A well experienced
lady is in charge of the hotel in the
person of Mrs. Rene Flynn. Mrs
Flynn is courteous and kind and she
knows how to treat her guests.
If you want a real good nights
rest, stop at the Beauty Rest.
