In 1912, they made their first

the Paramount Theatre this

The story Of Janet and David
as told in Warner Bros film
would not warrant unusual con-
sideration these days were it
not for the fact that their prob
lens are the problems of our
youth today, a health loving
youth that would rather hold a
few hours of happiness in its
arms now, than stand by the
wayside and search for it to-
morrow.
Janet met Dave on bus.
They talked, laughed, exchanged
hearts, and fell in love, all in a
few happy hours. Quickly Dawes
furlough days rushed by and
suddenly it would be tomorrow,
and an outbound ship the day
after. Gently, so as not to arouse
the antagoniSm of a family split
asunder by the antics of near
neurotic mother, a self -pitying
brother rejected by the army,
and the frivolous flirtations of
a sister in love with herself, not
her sailor husband, Janet sheds
her cloak of unhappiness to be-
come Dawes wife. Dawn finds
Dave gone, his happiness clutch
ed tightly in Janet's hands, the
girl alone no longer.
The special musical effects
and scores were accomplished

Abbott was reared in show
business. His father was Harry
Abbott, advance man for Bar
mum and Bailey circus, his
mother was Ray Abbott, star
bareback rider. Bud was born
in Atlantic City on Oct. 2, just
as the show was preparing to go
into winter quarters.
Later, his father launched a
chain of burlesque theaters, and
Bud worked in the box office,
gradually drifting from that in
to a comedy turn on the stage.
Costello's theatrical ia k
ground was not so foreordained.
He was born Louis Francis Girls

March 6. His father, Sebastian
Cristello, was naturalized
Italian engaged in the prosaic
insurance business. His mother,
Helene, was an Irish non-profes-
sional.
1t wasn't until Lou completed
high school in Paterson and
journeyed to Hollywood that he
became mixed up in show bust
ness. He landed a job on the
labor gang at Warner Brothers.
A short time later, he moved
over to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,
. in the same capacity.
Finally he met Helene Costel-
10, daughter of the screen idol
of his kid days, Maurice Cos
tello, and through her went to
work as stunt man. He also
changed his name to Costello in
tribute to his cinema hero.
Hired to double for Dolores

"Trail of '98" he made a leap

A burlesque roupe landed in
town a few days later, offering
Lou his long-sought opportunity.
He was soon travelling on bur-

week. Two years later Abbott
