The average Broadway sign costs from $10,000 to $12,000, and MT. Starr builds them to last good 10 years. Sometimes this seems like wasted effort. Once the firm finished a big job for hopeful producer on Saturday, and the show closed the following day.
 MT. Starr learned artistic in- tegrity, among other things, from the man to whom he was appren- ticed in his native Russia. This man made beautiful rubles, better and cheaper than those turned out by the imperial mint. So when the tsars police finally picked him up for counterfeiting, the authorities offered hi minis free- dom if he would tell them how he did it.
 What" said the counterfeiter, "and give away a secret worth millions? Never!" So off he went to spend the rest of his life in Siberia, while his young apprentice came to America.
 Present jobs include the super vision of lot of war work and the groundwork for what will be the biggest outdoor sign in Amer ica. Oddly enough, war and the blackout haven't brought a bus mess slump to Artkraft Strauss. Quite the contrary.
 They had to hustle, first of all, to find substitutes for critical ma- terials, and figure out systems of

Jake Starr's 154-Var
By JAMES THRASHER
 NEA Staff COrreSnOntleuf

New York, Jan. 16-Jake Starr is not what you would call a glamor- ous man. Nor, for that matter, is his partner, Ben Strauss. Their names seldom appear in the public prints. Yet for more than 40 years these two men have been among the chief contributors to the glamor of what is perhaps the most worlds most publiziced thoroughfare.
 MT. Starr explains their con- tribution simply: Broadway is actresses behind electric signs. We make the signs"
 Specifically, they design, manu- facture and erect more than 90 per cent of all the spectacular dis plays on Broadway. They own 42 per cent of the streets choice sign locations. They have helped to glamorize the glamor girls from "Floradora" through ziegfeld to the offerings of Mike Todd and Billy Rose. They have seen the bright lights change from gas to neon, and have watched them move uptown from 14th street to Thnes Square. NEVER SEES STARS
 But Jake Starr doesn't get to see the actresses behind his signs. He's too busy. AS treasurer and guiding mechanical genius of the Artkraft Strauss Sign Corp, he works 16 hours day, seven days week He has no hobbies, and has never taken a vacation.

mirrors and indirect lighting that would preserve blimmer of Broad ways glamor without violating blackout regulations. Then came war orders, and the firm opened second shop to make parts for tanks, ships and other vehicles Of war.
 PERFECTS WONDER SIGN'
 MT. Starr is also perfecting two war-interrupted miracles of his craft. One is the 'newsograph," similar to present-day running electric signs except that 1t can be operated and changed as fast as can man teletype. The other is the "Wondersign," which with the help of 27000 bulbs and 500,000 elec- trical connections, will dash off electrical pictures with all the slap dash virtuosity of an old-time ly- ceum entertainer giving chalk talks.
 MT. Starrs labors aren't con- fined to his own neighborhood. One of his signs was flown over the Andes to a movie theater in Bogota, Colombia. Another. sailed by chartered ship to Iceland, said This Theater Is Air Cooled. (Mr. Starr never quite figured that one out.)
 But you get the impression that Jake Starr's heart belongs to Mazda Alley, even If he never gets to see its shows. Nothing pleases him more than to be called the Lamplighter of Broadway.
