What Does a Mother Want
For Her Little Girl?
Admit, it, Mother. You want every
thing—beauty, brains, beaus. Fine
clothes, poise, personality. You want
her to be a good dancer, to stand
straight and true, to play better ten

But are you giving her that extra
insurance? Music to enjoy, if she’s
alone—if the beaus aren’t as frequent
as you hoped? Music to .make up for
other things that may not be as
plentiful as you planned? Music to
keep her heart happy and her soul
occupied?
Today, more than ever before,
thoughtful parents realize the impor

Bogey and Pandas Were Tame
Compared to J. Brutus Booth
By BILLY ROSE
The

SE PAYS
Richard H. Wilkinson
Corner
There was a lot of talk on Broadway in recent weeks about the
incident at the El Morocco club where Humphrey Bogart was
caught with his pandas down, and to hear the prissy boys tell it,
unless Bogey stops acting up he’s a cinch to finish behind the well-
known eight-ball.
Well, mebbe so, but I wouldn’t bet on it. It’s my belief that, if any
thing, his daffy didos will help his pulling-power at the box office, very
much as they helped John Barrymore, W. C. Fields, and other talented
screwballs who had the nerve to do what the rest of us only daydream
about.
Billy Rose
And don’t let any old-timer with
braid on his vest tell you that
the entertain
ment business
wouldn’t have
tolerated a
Humphrey Bo
gart in the dear,
dead days. Ac
cording to the
record, the an
tics of yester
day’s stars
make our pres
ent crop ‘ of per
formers look as pale as a ghost
who has just seen a man.
For easy example, take, say, the
great tragedian, Junius Brutus
Booth—a name to conjure with and
make faces at.
* • •
JUNIUS BRUTUS was bom in
England a few years before the
19th century made its bow, and by
the time he was 13 a servant girl
had accused him of being the fath
er of her out-of-bounds baby. Dur
ing the next four years, among
other things, he took a crack at
being a sailor, a sculptor and the
husband of two ladies, without the
customary divorce in between.
None of this stunted his growth,
however, because by the time he
was 20 he had become one of the
great stars of the London stage. He
appeared at Covent Garden as
Richard III, and the following sea
son at Drury Lane as lago to
Keane’s Othello. And, unless the
record is lying, his success was so
great that a group of envious ac
tors started a riot in the theater
and tried to burn it down.
Offstage, Junius Brutus was
even more spectacular than on,
and if Lauren BacalVs husband
had been sampling the flesh and
winepots of Piccadilly at the time,
chances are his capers wouldn’t
have rated a morning-after
thought. Booth, so goes the story,
made so many passes and passed
out so many times that finally, at %
the insistence of husbands, bar
tenders and bobbies, he packed
and skedaddled to New York.
Here, he proceeded to revolution
ize most of our acting techniques
and, despite-the enormous quanti
ties of woozle-water he consumed,
he never let his audiences down.- At
one matinee, he was literally car
ried into the theater, and while the
manager was splashing water on
his face the customers began to
yell for the show to go on.
Annoyed by their catcalls, the
tragedian stuck his face through
the curtain and roared, "I’m
drunk now, but in ten minutes
I’ll give you the greatest King
Lear you ever saw." And he did.
'Another time, he went into a
pawnshop to borrow $10, pledged
himself as security, spent the ten
ner on Jersey applejack, and then,
as per promise, came back and
squatted in the pawnbroker’s win-
/
/ IT HAS TAKEN LONG
r ^
(
I T has taken long for me to learn
The simple lessons that the Master taught.
To consider the lilies as their petals burn
Among the wayside grasses, to take no thought
Of a tomorrow that may never bring ,
Some direful, long anticipated thing.
To mark the sparrows on a windy Stem
Lashing and dipping in a day of Storm,
And to remember that He cares for them.
And shelters them and keeps them from all harm;
And that I am more valuable than they
To Him who walks beside me day by day. ^
“Let not your heart be troubled ...” —these His
words
Should have been learned and heeded long ago.
1 should have lived light-hearted as rhe birds; /
I should have marked the lilies—Ah, too slow '/
Has been my heart in learning how to live. / /
Dear God, You tried to teach me. Please forgiven.
GRACE NOLL CROWELL
dow until his manager redeemed
him.
One night while playing “Rich
ard III,” he suddenly decided to re
vise Shakespeare’s script, and
when it came, to the duel scene in
the last act he began slashing away
at the young actor playing the role
of Richmond. The episode ended
with his chasing the kid out the
stage door and several blocks dqwn
the Bowery.
P AUL SPARROW’S vaudeville act
wasn’t especially good, nor was
it especially poor. He did a couple
of trick dance steps, told some
fairly funny stories and sang a
couple of songs. There were doz
ens better than he. Yet Paul always
played the big time, always got the
best money. We who were in show
business at the time, wondered.
The answer was simple when you
stopped to think about it. Paul was
enterprising. He gave himself a
build up. For one
thing he selected
3 - Minute his music with
Fiction c . ar f J “ e in -
structed the or
chestra what to
play and how to play it before he
came on. He made a stooge of the
drummer. He sold the idea, general
ly, that he was terrific.
We all expected that Paul
would be among the first to go.
But he Wasn’t. I didn’t see him
for almost a year, then ohe fall
up in San Francisco, I ran
across him again. It was rather
a unique experience, because
the gag he pulled that night
was epic.
It seems that, despite his enter
prising faculties, Paul was due to
get the air. He had exhausted his
bag of tricks. Managers were get
ting wise to him. On this night he
was trying out at the Olympia
Theater. Most of us thought it
would be his swan song. On the
other hand, if he went over big
with his audience it would mean
a 40-week contract. There wasn’t
a chance.
We watched him come out from
the opposite side of the wings. He
was doing a quick little dance step.
There was a smattering of applause
that almost instantly died away.
“WeU,” grinned Paul, “If
you’re serious, that’s fine . . .
if my gag took in an hid troup
er like you, it worked better
than I thought it would.”
Paul hesitated, then went into a
routine. It was pitiful, because the
step was rotten and he had appar
ently lost his self-confidence to
boot.
I was standing so 1 could
see Paul’s face. For the first
time since I’d known him I saw
anger in his eyes, a red flush
in his cheeks. He stopped danc
ing.
“All right,” he said. “Ail right,
wise guys, I’ll show you.”
The hecklers booed at him,
shouted catcalls. Paul’s face went
livid. He suddenly galvanized into
action.
T HAVE SEEN some good trick
^ dancers in my day, but I’ve
never seen anything to equal the
antics of Paul Sparrow that night.
Thoroughly aroused, he became a
contortionist. He performed feats
that were unheard of in the art of
dancing. He threw himself around
that stage like a madman. It was
marvelous to watch. Superb!
Paul came out for three encores.
He was a man inspired each time,
and each time the audience gave
him an ovation. They clapped for
five full minutes after his last ap
pearance.
After a while I strolled back to
Paul’s dressing room. The manager
was just leaving. Inside, Paul was
happily folding up a sheet of paper.
I could tell by the expression on his
face that it was the contract.
“Hello, feller,” I grinned.
44 Yon killed ’em. I guess the
thing to do if yon want t« stay
in vaudeville these days is get
mad.”
“Why,” he said, surprised. “Did
you think I was mad? I wasn’t.”
“Don’t kid me. Those hecklers
had you down for the count.”
“Well,” grinned Paul, “if you're
serious that’s fine. I mean, if my
little gag took in ap old trooper like
yourself, it even worked better
than I thought it would.”
“Wait a minute,” I said, begin
ning to feel funny. “What are you
getting at?”
“It was a gag, old horse. I hired
three hecklers to do the job—you
know, make the audience feel sym
pathetic toward me by having scath
ing remarks hurled at me. Then I
pulled my trick. My new step. It
•really wasn’t much of a step, you
know^ It only seemed that way. The
rudience was sympathetic. They
would have liked anything I did.”
He grinned broadly. “You see, I was
on the skids. I had to think of
something. I tell you, friend, if you
want to stay in vaudeville these
days, you’ve got to be enterpris
ing.”

AS THE YEARS leapfrogged on,
Booth’s capacity for nuttiness be
came something of a national leg
end, and any theater he was
scheduled to play generally sold out
the day the engagement was an
nounced. Stories about the caper-
ous crackpot were repeated around
every pot-bellied stove—and little
wonder. For instance, while taking
an ocean voyage, the ship passed
the spot where an actor named
Conway had committed suicide by
drowning. Junius Brutus suddenly
appeared on deck and yelled, “I
have a message for Conway,” and
dove overboard. And for the next
30 minutes, he played water-tag
with the sailors who jumped in to
fish him out.
In his finale years, Booth took
up the study of Buddhism and
developed so great. a horror of
inflicting death that he would
burst into tears if someone hap
pened to step on a bug. He fi
nanced a campaign against hunt
ing and, while on tour one au
tumn, enraged at the wanton
killing of birds, he bought a
cemetery plot and held a funeral
for some pigeons a sportsman
had shot.
Despite all this hi-jinks and hoop
la, however, he was quite a family
man, and the 10 children he raised
were devoted to him. Unfortunate
ly, the final curtain on the career
of the inspired looney who hated
killing was that one of his children,
John Wilkes Booth, was the man
who assassinated Abraham Lincoln.

He got the job and the voice stayed

New York Farmers
Hit 'The Jackpot'
New Device Determines
Good Soil Management
What a New York farmer gets
these days when he “hits the jack
pot” might not be dimes or quart
ers, but it may be increased crop
yields in the years ahead.
Or, as the saying goes in Ithaca,
Cornell’s two versatile soil conser
vationists have “done it again.”
Hugh Wilson and Harry Kerr of
the state extension staff have come
up with another “gadget” to dem
onstrate the value of good soil
management.
That’s where the jackpot comes
in. Their latest contribution has
been dubbed the “one-armed ban
dit” because it looks like a cross
between a slot-machine and a rou
lette wheel. But it has proved an
Hugh Wilson, left, and Harry
Kerr, originators of Cornell’s
“one-armed bandit,” stand be
fore the device discnssing im
provements.
effective teaching device to let
farmers know if their crop ptac-
tices are robbing the soil.
The “bandit” is in two parts:
one, a chart which determines land
use capability (LUC) and the other,
an analyzer consisting of four con
centric circles. It can set up a pos
sible 768 combinations and a flash
ing green, yellow or red light indi
cates whether or not favorable soil
balance is being maintained.
But that’s the last step. First, the
land use capability must be estab
lished. It is based on these physical
characteristics of the land: slope,
length of slope, internal drainage,
texture, erosion and humus. Values
deter^nined mathematically from
these characteristics are assigned
to slides of varying sizes which fit
into the LUC chart. The color and
number which the six slides reach
show the land use capability for
the field.
Cows Infested With Lice
Give Poor Milk Output
Cows with lice make lousy per
formance records, says T. H.
Parks, extension entomologist at
Ohio state university. Since lice
are often abundant on cattle dur
ing the winter and spring when the
hair is long, he recommends treat
ing the animals for lice as soon as
possible.
Either rotenone or DDT is an
effective treatment. If rotenone is
used, two treatments, 15 days
apart, are necessary. Only one
thorough treatment with DDT is
required.
Parks states that cattle with lice
will not make satisfactory gains
in weight, or if being milked, will
not maintain a steady milk flow.
Symptoms of lice include rough
and coarse hair, and, sometimes,
large, hairless patches on the
neck and body caused by the ani
mal rubbing the irritated area.
Winning Carload
The grand champion carload
lot of hogs at the annual Inter
national Livestock Show in Chi
cago was owned by 23-year old
Stanley K. Swift, Gilman, Iowa,
who is shown with the winners.
Swift is said to be the youngest
winner of the carload cham
pionship in the history of the
big show. The hogs are pure
bred Berkshires.
Insects, Insecticides
Team Up on 'Bad' Bugs
According to many scientists,
certain insects beneficial to man,
in that they prey on harmful bugs,
may be expected to team with
newer and better insecticides in
controlling these harmful bugs.
They tell how insecticidal spraying
killed the “friendly” bugs as well
as others in North Dakota, and
that spraying was suspended for a
time sufficient to let predators of
the harmful bugs build back up.
