St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1946-09-13

and skirts was III
real mad. They
played 'um soft
and slow, and
they played them loud and hot.
The singer was real gone with his
Get Up, Get Up Mama, Get Up
on Your Rusty Dusty"
The acts that were features were
really gone and the lights were
really on. When MRS. WILLIAM
G0ODHUE PENN did her first
act, II brought down the house but
when she did the Gypsy number
with the two SHAW twins MAT
tie Dell and Edna Mae) fine, fine,
and LENORA DILLON plus
SMOKY TURNER, NORLAND
MCCOY and myself that was really
q killer, mainly because N0RLAND
mccoy got his face slapped but
good, even IL Il was in the act,
That EDNA MAE SHAW sure
packs mean slap. Mrs. GOodhue
Penn Is the pride Of Minneapolis,
because she not only has a wonder
ful gift Of talent, but is always
willing TO help some Of the younger
set put on a show. II seems that
when a person becomes a pro, he
Is not very set upon helping others
put on shows because Of the little
money In Il. But as for MRS.
LILLIAN GOODHUE PENN.
PERSON, BOBBY
LEE and WORTHY TURNER, they
are all tops with me and every one
knows them as the type Of people
we should all be.
When JOSEPHINE PERSON
started in to her dance number,
she not only received a big hand,
but many whistles, too, you see
she looks nice as she dances. That
was Il statement not a wOlfish in
tention. As ! stated before, she is
also the kind Of person we wish
we were because you can't beat
talent and personality.
HARDY WHITE (modern
did his singing with
all the skillfulness of pro, and
II you ask me, HARDY has a fu-
ture because any time a person
loves to sing as much as HARDY,
and takes music lessons, well, he
Just should go some place. To Mr..
HARDY WHITE my dear friend,
Il you do not make good within Ave
years, as your friend, will put YOU
DOWN.. That was more encourage
ment than q threat.
Flash Bobby Lee, he also did a
dance speciality that really brought
him a place with the younger set
as well as the rniddle-aged people.
No one knows what to expect from
\ fellow only about five foot four,
or shorter, but he proved himself
10 be one Of the best dancers that
Minneapolis and Windy City has
had. In case any Of you lonesome
girls should want to know, he il
about 81 and very good looking.
The last act on the show was
q formal number that was thought
up and acted by the following:
JONES, who danced with
MAE ALLEN; NORLAND
Mccoy, who danced with VETA
LAW; CONRAD AUSTIN, who
danced with BETTY KING, and
DONALD GATES, who danced with
DOLORES BEASLEY. This last
lumber was a waltz to the tune OF
MIGHTY LIKE A ROSE" and
in formal clothes. We were told il
ooked very nice. What got it was
hat as much as ALBERT JONES
md ANNA MAE ALLEN disagree
they were dancing together; nc
cling what they were talking
about all that time. Well, anyway
| hope they got along.
WORTHY TURNER also did 8
song that was really neat, but ther
we all know he is a fine singer a.
me should hope to meet. He wa
4 bit shy at first when we tried I,
hi-jack him into singing, but a.
we expected, he gave in for Q
worthy cause, do you see where
he got his name? WORTHY
worthy.
Boy! you talk about dancing, anG
you don't know how you should
have seen old Johnny jackson wher
he danced and how; he swings tho
girl around with the greatest Of
ease; he did the kind Of dancing
that creates a breeze. He did the
kind Of boogie that would woogiC
you, too; l wish could pick up on
il; how about you?
You always meet the type that
Just loves to hug, but at this mad
shin-dig all they knew was litter
bug; for they leaped and creeped
and woogied, mOpl Did the camel
walk and the Texas Hop. Most Of
the girls spent four dollars for a
