In smart supper clubs' in Cleve land, Chicago or Omaha, a per .tollable young man comes on stage to the strains of a familiar tune. He reaches into the air and a bright silk cascades into view. He covers a fist with It. When it Is slowly drawn away a gftblet of wine is revealed. "Nicely done," onlookers may say. "Now watcn tne glass disap pear . . . I've seen that before." That's when . ihe spectators start to gape. When the silk slithers away again, they see, perched on the' glass, a little bird with a long tail. It hops to yoonp Jack'Kodell's Index finger. Then presto! there is another bird on the next' finger. Kodell whistles "Don't Fence Me In." There's a graceful ' move ment of the hand alfid three birds. Once more and there are four brightly plumaged Australian parakeets Side by Side. In the next few moments they will disappeaT or fly invisibly from one glass cage to another previous' ly-empty glass cage. They will emerge from a paper tube Into which a gossamer silk was blown And finally from Kodell's top hat there will appear, not the tradition al rabbit, but a varicolored parrot The audience has seen "A Fantasy in Birds," the only act I "Af 41a Si4fcA4 'ii' MrfAvmsil kv lla not yet 21-year-old originator.

Evidently he succeeded for their act won new laurels. Backstage a phone call home gave him the glad tidings that the baby bird had arrived safely. As he was showered with the congra tulations of the magic fraternity, a talent scout for the movies broach ed the possibilities of a Holly- wood career.
