Have you ever played it. Eddied'
“Sure, I played it years ago with
Jackson and Taylor.”
“Wha"t kinda audience they got
out there?”
“A little tough, but so far we
been lucky on the road, and I don't
see Why we should miss there.”
“Oh, great!” said Jimmy. Then
he asked Lou of his experiences.
“It's a great town,” said Clay
ton. “I played it three times. Geor
gle Burns and Grade Allen are
there, and might stay over a day
or two to catch our act.” !
“All right then,” said Durante,
"let’s knot-y off the week at Min
neanapolis.”
Concerning a time that still
stands out as a sore memory, Jim
my says, ‘‘Our routine consisted of
such numbers as ‘I Can Do With
out Broadway, but Can Broadway
Do Without Me?’ ‘Jimmy, the Well
dressed Man,’ and Eddie doin’ his
Strutt and numbers like ‘I Ups to
Him.' and I don’t remember what
we finished with. We had with us
a kicl workin’ as a kinda secretary.
Jack Harvey. He’s one of our writ

us called ‘The Cowboy and the !

‘Rdses are red, violets blue, horses

gettin' dynamite laughs. I
“And so we are in high spirits, i
and I go out there. I look down at ’
Georgie Burns and Gracie Allen 1
in the audience, and they applaud '
like mad, but we get little an- '
plause from anybody else. And 1
then I open with 'Jimmy the Well- I

Shubert is supposed to be standin’
in the wings, and he comes out
and says, ‘Jimmy, put in both

Nothin’ at all! And that was our
biggest laugh in New York.

everythin’ was kind of sour and

1 The Minneapolis fizzle awakened
the Schnozzola to the realities of j
American taste for comedy beyond
the small area of Times Square. !
| “We hadn’t given them what they j
wanted,” he says. “It was before
the big broadcastin’ days, and I
sound was just cornin’ inta the
movies, and I found out that Broad
way and New York ain’t the whole
world. There’s a great big country ,
outside of it, and each place has
a solid humor of its own, and you j
got to have an act that is right j
down to earth.
“It wasn’t the fault of Minneana- '
Smith
(Continaed from page 0119)
above the temporary success of our
party. Let us think for ourselves.”
Smith spoke out against any fur
! ther increase in taxes. “Heaven for
. bid,” he said. “Ttday the tax rates
have risen to such an extent that
there is little incentive for the av
erage man to work harder because
of the attitude of the government
taking so much of what he earns.”
I The senator urged a reduction in
federal expenditures down the line.
Particularly in foreign aid, he said,
ir the spending excessive. He told
of a conversation with two mem
bers of the British parliament, who
fearer that “our gifts to Great
Britain were undermining the in
centive of many of the ordinary
citizens of Britain.”
As for the Truman administra
tion. Senator Smith said: “It seems
that during the past four years
we have indeed lived through a
period of perfidious patronage, in
the belief by some that political j
support can be bought and paid for,
and delivered at the next election.
“We cannot deny that in these
recent years, under our present ad
ministration, our party has become
infested wtih political pap suckers
and panhandlers. We have seen the
spectacle of simpering sycophants
being close to the throne. We know
that throughout America there is
the feeling that, if you belong to,
the right gang, then you have ac
cess to portals that should never
be opened to the unworthy.
“Shall we,” Smith asked, “con
done the activities that have
brought shame to our civilization?
Shall we gloss these things over and
try to forget and have others for-,
get? Or shall we go forth with a 1
determination to weed out of gov-!
eminent those who would engage
in nefarious practices which have
embarrassed us from one end of
America to another?"
Smith said it was not enough for
the Democrats to point to the sins
pi the Republican Party. “We must.
polis. It was our fault. And I was
very happy a long time afterward
in 1934 when Minneanapolis voted
me the best comedian in pictures.
I loved 'em for this. I loved ’em.
for teachin’ me a valuable lesson.”
