A skinny, pop-eyed kid pushed onto the stage of the famous old burlesque theatre, began singing “The Curse of an Aching Heart” in quavering, mel- ancholy tempo. Wild boos and catcalls greeted his doleful debut. A head of rotten cab- ripe tomato smote him high on the temple, and marked a grisly path down his cheek, From the wings, a veteran actor yelled to “speed it up, speed it up.” The kid sang faster, rolled his eyes clapped his hands, and jumped excit- edly about the stage to avoid the mis- sles. The audience sat up—this was action—this was fun! They roared ap- proval. The shower of garden truck was replaced by a shower of coins. From such an humble start, banjo- eyed Eddie Cantor went on to become one of the great figures in American show business. That scene on the stage of Miner's Bowery was recently repeated by Eddie Cantor ,now 51 years old, as one of the highlights of his new Ra- dio RKO picture titled properly en- ough, “Show Business,” and which will be the attraction at the Grand Theatre, Patton on Sunday and Mon- day next, with a matinee on Sunday afternoon, 2:30. Cantor produced the picture; he's also one of its several stars. But nothing connected with the entire production thrilled him as did the revival of that amateur night. Ver GRANGERS HEAR OF CHANGES ON FARMS Ira C. Gross addressed members of the Cambria County Granges at the second of a series of Neighbor Night meetings held at Banner Grange, at Bradley Junction. He stated that “our leaders are more concerned with post war problems than with the war it- self.” He pointed out the changes al- ready brought about in agriculture by the war. “The two horse farm will be no more. Moral backbone will be the great need after the war.” Pleasant Hill Grange led in atten- dance with Banner Grange taking second place. Mrs. Ira C. Gross, past lecturer, af the Pennsylvania State Grange, also addressed the clubs. Emeron Reig, of Pleasant Hill Grange conducted the following pro- gram: Song: “There's A Star Spang- led Banner Waving Somewhere,” by a group from Pleasant Hill Crange; | duet, Rita Rubright and Daryl Lit- | tle; comic reading, Janet Reig; solo, | “Swinging on a Star,” Josephine Me- | | lov; dramatizaticn, “Peace for All| | Nations,” ladies of the Pleasant Hill | Grange; address, Ira C.
