Since the day of its publication, six months ago, it has been sung and played to death, and so far as the fickle pub lic is concerned, it can go right back to the old trunk where it came from, be cause another song has bobbed up from the old manuscript trunk, and that one is called “Wishing,” and I would consider it one of the hit tunes of the moment. Buddy de Sylva wrote “Wish ing” fifteen years ago and put it away in his trunk, after he had played it for some of his friends, not thinking the response was any too great. Fifteen years later, one of those friends, Leo McCarey, got hold of de Sylva and asked him for the song. Buddy hunted it up and McCarey used it in the pic ture “Love Affair,” with Irene Dunne. Now, every time I hear ^•Wishing,” I wonder just about how long it will be until it is put back in tlje trunk. I suppose we’ll get along without both of them very well. ■OS!* OUR COMEDIAN, Charlie Reil ly, was properly billed for several seasons, as Long Island’s favorite comic. Charlie made himself fa mous as Charley’s Aunt in the play of the same name—Charlie was unusual in this respect—he was as funny and witty off stage as he was on stage. I have recalled one of his say ings many times when things began to break the wrong way. Reilly would always say: “What *cha kickin’ about? It’ll be differ ent next season.” Then after a slight pause, he would add: “It’ll be worse.” One season when the troupe headquartered in Sayville, and boarding places were at a pre mium, my old friend Mrs. Sarah Thompson consented to turn her dining room into an eating place for some of the company. At mealtime when the rest of the actors were pretty much occupied with eating, Charlie would pull some of his best comedy. One particularly warm July day when Mrs. Thompson was rushing madly to keep the actors’ plates piled full and not paying partic ular attention to any of the con versation, Charlie inquired most politely: “Mrs. Thompson, do you think it’s any warmer in summer than it is in /Sayville?” Mrs. Thompson, always ready to'defend her own Sayville, replied: “Char lie, I don’t know but what it is LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF THE ANNUAL SCHOOL DISTRICT MEETING Notice is hereby given that the annual meeting of the qualified voters of the Union Free School District No. 9, of the town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, will be held at the Matti- tuck High School in said district on Tuesday evening, July 11, 1939 at 7:30 o’clock (Daylight Saving Time) for the purpose of voting on the following propositions: 1, The election of two (2) trus tees tp fill the places of the ex pired terms of John W. Duryee and Ralph W. Tuthill, and the transactions of such other busi ness as is authorized by the Edu cational Laws of 1910 and the acts amendatory thereof and in addi tion thereto. 2.

Tuthill Whenever I see folks making motions and whispering or en gaged in making what we the atrical people call “soto voce” re marks about someone not very far from them, it reminds me of a time when Jack Brammall, Charles Willis Lane and I were talking things over at the old Casino Theatre bar where the Broadway show folks congregated. Lillian Russell’s brother-in-law, who, incidentally, was Brammall’s uncle-in-law by marriage into Miss Russel’s family, was talking with friends on the other side of the room. When Brammall saw him he indignantly chastised him in a low voice which even we could hardly hear: “There’s the guy that deserted Miss Russell’s sister for a common chorus girl —he’s an ungrateful bum.” Then Charles Willis Lane yelled in his loudest stage voice: “Why whisper what you think about the man— call him over and insult him!” ACTORS OFTEN GO higher than a kite when some fellow player gives a bum cue to rely on, or perhaps reads a line they are supposed to answer on and if they did it wouldn’t even make sense. In most every instance where an actor is called upon to show quick thinking in matters that count, the actor is usually on the job. The famous Willie Collier, for example, was in the middle of an important scene on the open ing night of a production on Broadway, when the slightest mis hap might give the dramatic crit ics a chance and when the actor is all nerves and under a terri?ale strain. I recall when someone in the audience sneezed a comedy sneeze—the audience tittered and sneeze was a part of the play) responded cheerily “Geshundheit” and went right along with a new success. to town squirmed—it was enough to ruin a show, but Collier (as if the T H E P O C K E T B O O K K N O W L E D G E ^ *TH\^ CUftlOUS loeOMOTNC U«EP IN l8l» W A i EQUtPPe^ WITH IRON LSOtmm THe XXGi.
