You might say he's busy as a bee.
In fact, few bees realized how

'Bees have rights Ike everybody

The trouble with bees is that
they're not all sweetness and
honey. They sting. Particularly,
they seem attracted to barefoot
children trying to beat the heat.
A residential neighborhood, it
seems, has six beehives. The
neighbours kids, barefoot. got bad

yelp.
The City Council heard the yelp
and proposed the ban on bees.
About. then, City Law Director
Clarence BIackburn's telephone
started ringing and the bees dis

Vaudeville
Not Coming
|Back---Kaye
By BOB THOMAS

HOLLYWOOD Rt-Can the old
two-a-day vaudeville come back?
''I'm afraid not" is the sad reply
of its leading practitioner of mod
ern times, Danny Kaye. The brick
haired comic has played his vaude-
vile show to sell-out audiences at
New York's Palace, the London
Palladium, the Curran in San Fran
cisco and other noted theaterS.
His example has stirred hopes
that bigtime vaude might again
rise to the glory which it held in
the first three decades of this
century. Every stable U. S. city
had at least one vaude house and
sometimes more. Those days will
not return, says Kaye.
There aren't enough situations
for an actor to appear so weeks
out of the year, as in tae old days, !"
he remarked. 'You can only play
vaudeville show in certain big
cities.
Besides, there aren't enough
acts to go around. The only ones
who have tried to do vaudeville
on the old scale are myself, Judy
Garland, Jack Benny and Betty
Hutton. That isn't enough to keep
a circuit going"

workout, however. Kaye stays on
stage for an hour and 40 minutes
of dancing. singing, telling jokes
and generally cutting up. But, as
anyone who has caught his act

work. He evokes the warm re-

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Oct To-
The heated speculation over a
successor to the late Senator

But Gov. Frank j. LauSche,

He says he'll name a sue

January.
Mr.. Herbert went to the high
court Friday and asked that it
require Gov. Lausche to appoint

That was a mandamus action
And today. he returned to the
court and asked for a tenpor-

court to order Gov. Lausche to
either appoint a successor on a
certain date or show cause why
he should not do so.
Not all members OF the court
were present today and Mr.
