THURSDAY, JU^'E 30, 1938 THE WATCHMAM PAGE THREE # YOUI^ MAIN STREET A^ISTD MINE By AL TRAHERN KlUott Yonni,'. Ktill wearing n •(s-TTii -Sfininole tan Irom Miami'.s ^viritfr sun Is bac-k home on Shel- ter Ishind. Klliott an(J -M TH . Vouns have (livicleci the seasons tietw^en their Shelter Is- land home and Miami shores for tlie past several years. Mr. Yoiing' CDnllded tliat he had met_ more Suffolk Ooxanty notaliles at Mi- ami this last winter than on any previt>ns vi.'^it to the popular resort. He ca.sually mentioned that every now and then some Long- Islander called at his hotel. One day while he was lounKinpr in the lobby look- ins over the iiiverhead Xews, he Slanced up to see I-ew Austin in peraan standinier before him. • * • \ Elliott Young graduated fro m the piano tuning department of the I-Joston Conservatory of Music near- ly fifty years ago preparatory to oiiening the Elliott Young piano salesrooms in Greenport. After the completion of the Auditorium t>uilt l>y the late Sarah Adam s he moved his offices and salesrooms to larger <iuarters in the new theatre l>uild- Ing, where he prospered until his retirement from liufiness ten years ago. Up to that time upwards of a thousand Ellio.tt Young pianos had been sold and delivered to eastern Suffolk homes from Cal- verton to Orient I'oint and across t o Shelter Island and Sag Harbor. As for tuning, I can't Imagine a ^iweeter job than tuning in on Miami shores every winter and keeping in tune with his beautiful Shelter Island home every summer. * * • My old pal Fred Skinnei- writes: \Oear Al : I've had in mind to write to you a dozen times about the troupe w e took over to Long l^ranch, X. J., to pla> a dramatic stock season in a theatre managed iiv Ijee Och.=i, later to become a bis? shot in the Motion Picture Exhibit- ors' Association, and how he talked every day foi- a week about the Kreat speech he was going to make on the opening night. 1 remember it just like yesterday, and I'll bet you do too. • • • On the opening night just as Sammy Morris was goinj? to ring tip the curtain on the first act of the i>lay, l..ee Ochs went in front of tb.e curtain and started to talk, all The time walking back and forth in front of the footlights with his hands behind his l.ack. H e talked fo r about Hve minntes and told the jiudience ho wa s goinir 1o put the l)iciure show aoro.ss the street out of bvisine.'^s with his greiit di'.'imatic i;tock covniiany. The audience start- <'d to kid him. then he went over to the first entrance and waved for >(iu to como on while he was say- ing: \1 want you to meet the man- ,-m-<>r of this great company 1 liave lirought from New York.\ You were fxire and wouldn't go on, l>ut the .'ludience raised the roof, and when you fliiiillj' went on and raised yfiur band Cor ((uiet, some one in the gallery yellod; \Who let you in?\ Yon wa.s fit to be tied and 1 re- inembei what you said: \One fool at a time pleriso, the m.-inager had his chance and you in the gallery had yours, now I'd like to say we'll g<i on with the show and give the ivctors chance.\ # * * That wa.«! on me, Fred, .nnd every time 1 ever stepped beftjre the ctir- tain after that, my knees would linock together with stage fright if anyone:\ in the audience coughed. Now that you have brought l..ong Uranch and I^>e Ochs to mind, 1 wonder if you rememl)er when you were taking tickets on the door and Ochs grabbed the tickets out of your hand and pushed you aside and in a flash you were both roll- in g on the tile floor in the lobby, you was on top moat of the time until yoti threw_.,_hini out of the lobby and returned to' your, job taking tii-kets as if nothing had happened. Xo wonder you are a gi-<'at bifj U. S. dei'Uty marshall now. Wh ( n you find time, I'red, I wish you would write me about ti-e time the roughnecks waited for us after tiie show at Southampton because we put tliem out for throw- ing jieanuts at some of our million- aire customers, and don't forget to tell about the five dollar bill you I)icked up in the lol)by of the old Auditorium in iliverhead one night during fair week. \The m wuz the hapiiy days.\' * * * Al l commtuiications with no other directions than \Your Main Str<'et,\ <^reeni)ort, I., are handed to me l>y ,Iim Farley's boys in the 1'. O.. which proves that it don't take lonu to be found out in your own home town. The following im-^^igned contribution, post marked AVest- hampton Beacli. is plenty good enough to pass along: \A big fat colored woman waddled in the post office and peered in the combination lock box nearest the floor with much difficulty, she fumed and she fussed until she hit the combination that op€-ned the lock box door, then slammed it shut, muttering: \IS'o mail agin, dog-gone-it.\ * • • Uol)by Livingston sends a cour)le of jokes fresh from the property room of the Federal Theatre I'ro- ject studio on West 49th street. New York. The first joke is: \Di d you get that five dollar check I sent you last week?\ \ I certainly did—1 got it twice—once from you and once fro m the bank.\ Her e is the second joke: \AVhat is a mod - ern haven of love? A home bound- ed on the north by a delicatessen, on the south by a kitchenette, on the east by a can opener, and on the west by Reno.\ Alright Bobby, we'll VJasa these along to Eddie Carter to use in his next minstrel show. * » • Harry Hugo, comedian, who has played the Long Island circuit wit h the Traherns, is playing in Broken Bow, Neb., this week with liis tent show. He sends the following : \After the tent show season closed last fall I booked a circuit of six small towns in rural Xel)raska, l)laylng in town halls, school houses or an.v i)lace 1 could ijet. One of these tnwns had a small opera htiuse and I was ;ill pepped tii< at the thought of having an opera house to i.)lay in one night every week. 1 fotind the manager of the oi>era house in tlie general store and told him 1 wa.s the manager of the Hugo I'layer.s, and that my Belief fro m foot and leg pains— visit our foot correction depart- ment.

GREENPORT THEATRE .lack Holt, ever dependable hero of screen adventure tale.s, crashes through with another two-fisted fighting narrative in \Flight Into Xowhere,\ which plays at the (Jreenport Theatre on Friday and Saturday. The film, a tensely dra- matic tale set in South Amerisan Jungles, offers its star a splendid opporttmity and one of which he takes full advantage in his role as figliting chief of a trans-continental air line. \There's Always a Woman\ will lie on vie w as the other pic- ture on the i)ro£;ram. Co-starred in this gay new romantic comedy is the team of Melvyn Douglas and .loan Blondell, appealing together for the first time. l-'rom the world's great stories come the greatest motion pictures, and \Kidnapi>ed which Kobert Louis Stevenson considered his b<>st, will prove this axiom to the hilt on Sunday, Monday and Tues- day, when it is whown at the (Green- port Theatre. Warne r Baxter i)or- tray.s in all his swashbuckling, vig- orous best the never to be forgot- ten Alan Breck, fugitive clansman of the highlands. Freddie Bartholo- me-w, a size or two larger than when he last appeared so brilliant- ly on the screen, gives a fine per- formance to the role of .Oavid Bal- four, the boy hero of the piece. Th e movie takes liberty with the original script in introducing a heart interest to the life of Alan Breck, but even Stevenson might have re-written his story had he known Arleen Whalen. \An impres- sive cast is headed by C. Aubrey Smith, Reginald Owen, John Carra- troupe would like to play In the town one night a week. He said abruptly \You r show troupe can't play in this town.\ I pleaded that I had a good troupe with lots of vaudeville. He said: \No use talk- ing, your troupe can't play in this town.'' \Why?\ I asked. And he said: \'Cause the opery hotise is full of hay.\ Permanent Wave $3.00 Any 3 of the fol- lowing Items $1.00 FINGER WAVE - - 50c MARCEL WAVE - - 50c HAIRCUT - - - - 50c SHAMPOO - - - - 50c EYEBROW ARCH - 50c FACIAL ... - 60c MANICURE - - - 50c OMER'S Beauty Salon In Charge—MIS S ERNA LOHR Phone Matt. 8992 Before You Paint Look at a B.
