"All the radio equipment is

on, filled with nothing, because
the money has gone into tele-

In 1922, Fred Allen made his
first appearance on Broadway.
in ''The Passing Show of 1922"
at the Winter Garden Theater.
1t was during that show that
Allen met Portland. one Of the
dancers. They were married
in 1927.
Later he played on Broad
way in the first Little Show"
and "Three's a Crowd" but
retired from the stage in 1882.
to start his 19-year-radio ca
reer, with his famous gallery
of Aliens Alley characters.
Allen finds the transition
from comedian to writer ac-
tually no transition.
After his good friend Jack
Benny made slight mistake
in quoting Lincoln's Gettys-
burg Address, at the recent
Emmy Awards, Allen sent him
a telegram which read:
How could you possibly
misquote Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address? After all, you were

Fred Allen Quite Content
With Life on Panel Show
BY MARGARET McMANUS
NEW YORK.


To walk a few blocks on
Park avenue with Fred Allen.
on his way to the dentist. is
to see a celebrity abroad in
the real sense of the word.
It is difficult to mistake that
deceivingly dour countenance
and those unsmiling blue eyes.
which look out at the world
with such acid perception.
A taxi driver leans out OF
his cab at 57th street and
talks right into Aliens face.
What's my line? What's
my line, Fred?" he shouts.
Two young boys stop him for
an autograph. They are dis
appointed because Mr.. Allen
is not carrying any pictures
with him.
A well-dressed, middle-aged
man passes, salutes and then
says:
Hi, Seagirt!"
Allen turns quickly to tip
his fedora to him.
Portland and 7 used to
spend our summers at Seagirt,
a nice little community in Jer-
sey," he said. HE was one OF
our neighbors."
Called Cute
Two women, coming out OF
one of those so smart, so
expensive little Park Avenue
dress shops. stop abruptly in
the doorway, one nudges the
other.
There's Fred Allen, Marion,
look! Did you see him the
night Portland was the mys-
terry guest On What's My
Line?' He was so cute"
Even Aliens dead pan broke
slightly at this description and
he shook his head in some
wonderment.

that to Portland" he said. Il

"It doesn't take much prep
aration," he explained. "You
don't have to worry about get
ting material ahead of time.
It's a comfortable living, and
it leaves you time for other
things"
The principal "other thing"
for Mr.. Allen. at the moment.
Is writing a book.
His "Treadmill to Oblivion"
which was published recently
Is still a best seller. He wilf
soon begin his autobiography.
He is currently engaged in
the research for this book,
which includes tracking down
old vaudeyillians to recapture
the real flavor of the early
vaudeville days.
He said he has very little
time to watch television, al
though he is interested in the
comedy shows and especially
enjoys Jack Benny, George
Gobel and Sid Caesar.
"There is a sameness about
television shows" he said,
which is very difficult to at
tain. You might even say that
television performs rare serv-
ice. 1t is showing the public
how monotony actually looks

The commission said there

Stolen in Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, May 9 (P.-
Burglars stole an estimated
100000 to 100000 worth of
jewelry and watches early yes
terday from a wholesale jeWelry
firm in Pittsburgh's uptown Sec
ton.
Police gave the estimate. They
said the loot included about l.

watches and diamonds.
Leon Epstein, operator of the
Leon Epstein Co., declined to give
newsmen an exact estimate of
the loss. But he said: ITS one
of the biggest we've had in Pitts
burgh."
Police believe the burglars hid
in the building housing the jew
elry firm before closing hours
Saturday night. They said the

The surprise action by the
council and school officials came
in a last-ditch effort to tip the
scales in favor of the kinder
garten program for Arlington.
Chances that kindergartens will
be established this year were
considered slim with at least
three County Board members
indicating that they are opposed
to the program.
Attempt to Disprove Peck
Specifically, the council hopes
to disprove an estimate by Board
Member Robert A. Peck that
only about 500 children would
use the kindergartenS if they
were set up. Mr.. Rutter's budget
request of $235,000 to operate
the kindergartens is based on

Poll Tax in Bulk
Leads 10 Row

JONESVILLE, Va. May 9 L4o)
A political ruckus has been
stirred up in Lee County by the
rejection of a check for more
than $1,000 intended for the pay
ment of the poll taxes of would
be Democratic voters.
Treasurer C. P Combs said
he turned down the check Satur-
day on the basis of a ruling by
Attorney General J Lindsay Al
mond. jr.. stating such an act
was unlawful in Virginia.
On the other hand. Common
wealth's Attorney Edgar Bacon
said rejection of the check was
an attempt Ito prevent the pay
ment of Democratic poll taxes in
bulk after the procedure of pay
ment by bulk had been used by
Republicans"
Mr.. Almond said Saturday
night in Richmond he had told
Mr.. Combs the treasurer should
be satisfied by the appearance
of the taxpayer or his duly
authorized agent" He said the
agent might be a member of his
family or an employer appear
ing with the full consent and
knowledge of the taxpayer.
Circuit Judge George Morton
issued similar ruling last week
in neighboring Wise County but
went step further in saying the
Would-be voter, to become eligi-
BILE. should pay his poll tax in
person.

Combs by a Democratic Party
