REALTY BOARD MEETS Fox Voices Opposition to' Use of U. S. Funds for Housing. The Brooklyn Real Estate Board was told by Frank Fox, president of the Realty Association, that he was opposed to the use of Government moneys for housing projects and he questioned the judgment of the State Housing Boards in approving the Hillside housing project in the Bronx.

He also criticized the board for withholding informaonit on the Knickerbocker Village project on the lower East Side of Manhattan. "When the State Housing Board was organized in 1926, conditions were different than they are now." Mr. Fox said. "Building costa were high, mortgage money was high and no one was building cheap flats. Today, every one of these condtions is reversed.

"We have an overproduction of apartments now and more building means more competion. Such competition would be unfair because of the low interest proposed for Reconstruction Finance Corp. loans and the tax-exemption teatures. It would be just as reasonable to build a lot high-priced apartments or office buildings as to build some of the projcets they are Ship Movements INCOMING Today Drottnigholm, Gothenburg.

MY BETWEEN NEW EDITIONS YORK A ASWELL When in Manhattan- It is considered proper for gentlemen to remove their hats when traveling in elevators of apartment buildings containing ladies, but headgear remains in place during the ascensions of office building lifts. Which raises the fine point of what to do when going up or down in a structure which contains both offices and private apartments. Ten per cent. of the check is considered a sufficient tip for waiters, who often draw no salaries, but even pay for their jobs, while the honorarium for hat-check girls and cigarette, venders is frequently from 50 to 100 per and the latter must. in almost every case, turn over all gifts to the boss! In a bus on a surface car gentlemen often surrender their seats to old ladies with bundles or to young ladies with looks -but anyone doing the same on a subway during the rush, hour is glanced at by other commuters as something of 8 sap.

Taxi drivers contribute from 25 to 50 cents apiece weekly to doormen of fashionable apartments for the privilege of remaining in line, ready for calls, near the entrance. A portal flunky in the old days used to total $10,000 a year from all sources if he had a good JOCRtion; now he must be content with $3,900 to $5,000, or only a little more than most of the tenants of the building he guards make. Chinese restaurants, even those in the most' native part of Chinatown, are the most moral establishments in the world. Although they are frequented, during the noon hour in the business districts, by young working girls hungry for romance, a gentleman who dares to' speak to a lady with whom he did not enter the place chances almost certain ousting. Night Shadows Fall There are many kinds of nings.

in this incredible town. There's the tangy and mellow evening of slanting cold rain: this. is for the top-hat and ermine crowd. Then limousines are in their element, sliding up before marquees ablaze with lights and nosing into the echoing driveways under the ritzier hotels. There's the surprisingly soft night when the lights of Tompkins and Union Squares burn with a less indifferent cruelty.

Then the kind of evening of approaching spring, when shapes of the city take on a benign good humor and familiarity. This is the time of the submerged millions. Bowery bums stretch on their benches and stoops and begin to chatter with one another. Lovers atop the Fifth ave. buses lift up their young faces to meet the exciting challenge of the future; romance, possible wealth.

And there's the hard, bright evening when the town suddenly retreats into its lacqured shell. Then the subway crowds grow thinlipped and frigid-eyed. Tavi drivers curse with increased, Implacable, vehemence. Communist orators mount their platforms, with the glitter of desperation in their eyes. A mood of selfish intensity sweeps through the streets, communicating Itself even to the stony countenances of chautfeurs.

Then there's finally the night of quiet, when nothing's opening, nothing's doing; nothing new 18 astir and the routine of the metropolis churns on without the squeak of news in its innards. This is the columnist's evening! Screen Stars Will Appear At Benefit Tom Mix and his horse, Joe Brown, Laura La Plante and the Hollywood chorus who came to New York on the Forty-Second Street Special are scheduled to take part in the Motion Picture, Camramen's benefit performance at the Majestic Theatre in Manhattan Sunday, March 19.

Griffith. The performance will be presented in the style of a "Hollywood Opening" on an elaborate scale. The streets will be flooded with arc lights and as the celebrities enter the theatre, a public announcer will ask them to say a word or two which will be broadcast over 8 radio system. At the same time the newsreel cameramen will be at work grinding off film. The proceeds of the performance will go to the rellef of unemployed cameramen.

All existence is a problem With tomorrows built on fear. That I'll lose all I have garnered, Squander all that I hold dear. Crazy figures mock my program, Nothing seems to fit my plan, Even banks have lost their prestige Since on checks they placed a ban. And in walking through the bywAys Or the biggest town on earth It is hard to pick the pieces That should summon fear or mirth. Even women, who'll forgive them, Have dropped dresses, fav'ring pants So that it is hard to figure Which are uncles, which are aunts.

Seeking labor, there is nothing That a willing man can get, Prohibition means that liquor Brings more regular regret. There's no sense to, this confusion, I'm 80 weary the toil That I've come to this conclusion That the cause of the turmoil in seeking some amusement, All the gods, both great and small Have partitioned up this living, Made a jig-saw of It all. Just a puzzle, odd-shaped pleces, With no one around to guess Where they fit the major picture, That's why things are such mess. At that, we better stop this jig craze before the whole world goes to bits.

Minsky Burlesque Unit Presents Large Cast Various phases of burlesque with a sprinkling of music and humor found in the current show at Billy Minsky's Brooklyn Theatre where a large cast interprets the production. The chief attraction at burlesque houses usually is composed women of a number of "leading" whose efforts before a line of chorus girls usually garner the most applause. Running a close second in popularity are the dialect comedians in grotesque make-up and attire black- who indulge in various skits and outs and occasionally are guilty of attempting to sing a song.

The Minsky unit is pleasant fare for those who, like their burlesque. The comedians are true to type, the principal feminine entertainers are pretty well rehearsed in their various routines and the large chorus 1s well drilled. T. M. MUSIC By HAROLD A.

Beethoven Association was an evening of musio, Dessoff Choirs A concert of musicians, by musicians and for music lovers marked the semi-final program of the Beethoven Association last night in Town Hall. Not that previous programs sponsored by this group have lacked this classification, but rather that lats evening's activities portrayed a removal to that day when music was less a mercantile commodity and more of an art. The Society of Ancient Instruments which has, appeared at Various intervals locally had the principal place on last night's program and it was this ensemble which created the aura of a period when bank holidays and moratoria were unknown and when musicians were primarily interested in developing their art. M. Casadesus and his asciates with their instruments of the 17th and 18th century ueersonifled in their playing the era in which unsophistication was the cardinal possession of musicians and technocracy had not been dreamed of.

The always charming Elisabeth Rethberg, whose art is no circumscribed, added a generous contribution and George Enesco, who at one moment is a conductor and arranger, and the next a violinist of more than moderate accomplishments, united with Harold Bauer in piano numbers. At the French Institute, Margaret Dessoff, who has had much to do with the development of choral ringing in these environs, presented the first performance in this country of Vecchi's madrigal comedy Amtiparnaso." Here, too, was unadulterated music in which the gamut from poetry, to burlesque WAS successively and suecessfully encompassed.

8. Hurok at the Majestic Theatre. If by any chance you feel that you have seen marvelous marionettes in the past, we advise an immediate trip to the Majestic Theatre, where last night we witnessed the most extraordinary performance of the kind in. the entire world. It is out of the question to consider that any organization can duplicate this great variety show, entitled "The Piccoll." Coming direct to Brooklyn after a run of three months on Broadway, Segnor Vittorio Podrecca's astounding dolls did much more than amuse last night's audience.

It had spellbound, because these imitation folks on strings can accomplish much that the living actor cannot approach. They sing, they dance, they talk, they tumble, and perform a thousand and one feats that constitute a veritable maze of accomplishment. We should like nothing better than to go behind the scenes and watch the clever people who pull the strings, but we understand that Signor Podrecca, who is said to be the owner of nearly 4.000 of these quaint figures, prefers to let his puppets have all the credit for their performances. There are actually 800 performers in "The as it is prosented at the Majestic. Imagine a real-life entertainment on any stage having such a cast, and these performers really produce the complete, effect of a genuine extravaganza.

There seems to be nothing that these almost-human dolls cannot do. In a brilliant exhibition of versality they offer a bill that contains a Continental variety show, a fascinating bullfight episode, revue specialties, circus numbers, ballets and artificial bits of satire. Upon the Majestic stage they 1 have placed their own miniature plat- AMUSEMENTS form fitted out with brightly-paint ed, modern settings, with all th lighting effects an appliances of a up-to-date playshop.
