BY $50 in the morning, Henny
was sorry, indeed His last bit of
resourcefulness was about to vanish,
when it occurred to him to take a
long chance and call the theater.
He put through the call and the
phone rang and rang, making, no
doubt. a strange and eerie noise in
the great lofty, empty acreage of
the theater. With nothing else to
do, Henny just sat there listening
and wondering from time to time
what the bell must sound like in a
huge empty theater. He was so deep
in wonder of it that he almost fell
out OF his chair when voice finally
answered, a ~ghostly sort of voice
which he thought might be one of
the banshee characters in THE

Mr.. Youngman, an easy-going
shambles of a man who has ap-
peared here rather regularly, may
not be coming this way again soon
BY March l, he will be in Hollywood
and by March 10, he will be In the
first movie he has made in a long
time. This is his fourth shot at
movie career and he has meager
hopes that maybe something will
come of 1t this time.
The hopes are just meager, how
ever, for Mr.. Youngman thinks it is
very difficult for a stranger to pen
citrate the movie comedian set-up
If you don't know the set-up
as well as he does, 1t is something
like this: The new comedian is
forced to play with one or more
established comedians of the cinema
and when he has played with them,
he discovers that there was very
little for him to do. There is
always the possibility that that little
bit will eventually be cut out on
the theory that it minimizes the
work Of the established man.
But he is returning to Hollywood
regardless of that situation. He
thinks some day he will make the
screen and if he does not, he still
has his radio, vaudeville and night
club publics, all fine and loyal
people.
