In 1900 Sam, having tasted pros
perity, moved to New York City,
enlisted the aid Of Lee, then IS, and
J. j.. 70. who had helped him at
home, bucked the Klaw Il Er-
LANCER booking combination and
eventually triumphed.
Scores Of shows their theaters
have housed are footnotes In stage
history today.
But the Shuberts 60 on.
Lee has his sun lamp effects and
is copper-red the year round,
dapper, alert, 2 fast walker, a one
brandy-a-night man, burning the
midnight electricity over Shubert
alley, the tabled street which runs
between Forty-fourth and Forty
fifth streets. waking sleepy watch
men at unholy hours as he tries the
doors of Shubert theaters, taking
his blintzes at Lindy's or Reuben s
and striding home to his dreams.

comfortably, conducts the business

and hilarious past of the ever
changing theater.
In "Priorities of 1912" the first
nighters saw q musical revue that
has changed little, with the excep-
ton of the addition OF q line Of
chorus girls, from the vaudeville
shows which really used to Ie
glamorous events when they would
open every Monday afternoon at
the variety citadel on Broadway,
the historic Palace Theater which
is now q movie house.
"Priorities of 1912" has Lou Holtz,
Willie Howard. Phil Baker and Paul
Draper rs headlinerS and you could
close your eyes and we'll imagine
you were back in those prosperous
days Of vaudeville when kibitzing
actors would be performing IS much
in the audience as the headliners
would be on the stage. Unlike =
horse being led to water, you can
always persuade an actor to act
whether he Is in front or back of the
footlights and whether being paid q

the heckling. They couldn't resist
the chance to give . free per-
Torrance.
Later when Draper was doing q
medley of his exciting dances while
the orchestra played . group Of
several songs, the audience couldn't
resist singing the lyrics as he tripped
nimbly around the stage.
And when tho revue got into its
vaudeville stride with Helen Rey-
nold's skating girls doing their fast
maneuvers on the rollers followed
by an acrobatic team, then the
audience cheered and yelled.
The sketches that Holtz, Baker
and Howard perform are largely
rewrites Of the acts the. have been
doing for years In vaudeville and
musical comedies. Despite this aura
Of age there is q certain delight in
trying to identify their jokes and
songs and routines with the shows In
Evening star., 1942-03-22

I recall Howard using that same
gag IN one Of the many Passing
Show" revues in which he starred
and I think the edition in which he
introduced it was in 1924 Now on
