BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE HOME TALK-THE ITEM SECTION, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 1932 Around Town By F. V. P. Viol Gentry, plucky little Southern girl, who is at home in the clouds, will pay Bay Ridge a visit next week, when she and Flo Sheer come here to discuss a proposed air carnival to be held under the auspices of local business men. According to present plans the little girl who spent nine months in a hospital recovering from the effects of a crash in which her pilot was killed, will lead an aviation demonstration never before seen in this neck of the woods.

Met Miss Gentry for the first time on Sunday at Curtiss Field. Along iwth other famous fliers she was on hand for the air derby planned for that day, but which was postponed until next Sunday because a of the downpour. The winsome Miss Sheer, who, by the way, is expecting to for Rome in the future, conspicuously among those present. This daring young woman once lived on 45th St. nearby the former home of Controller Berry.

She is very much a Bay Ridgeite and eager to participate in the proposed carnival. With the better half and Will and Mrs. Patty, Bay Ridge's best-known portrait and landscape artists, and Prudence Burt making up our party, we motored from Curtiss Field to the Rockaways and from there to Floyd Bennett Field, where inactivity was lamentably conspicuous. Seemed to bear out Doc Masterson's assertions when he urged the building of an airport in the Upper Bay. A memorable event took place at Victory Hospital Sunday night Mrs.

Matt Troy presented her husband with a nine and a half pound. but boy. are Both satisfied were with hoping the re- for sult. Congratulations are in order. George Chambers, erstwhile editor of the Weekly News, writes to thank Home Talk for the interest it is taking in community matters.

George, now a real estate operator and leader in civic affairs, spent many years of his life putting Bay Ridge in print. He started his newspaper career in an up-State town, but finished it right here in the village. It may interest you to know that, in spite of the depression, Knox Phillips can drive in a huge Pierce-Arrow. No matter how tough things may get, Knox will always be there among the topnotchers grabbing off the cream while others are waiting for the early bird-or the worm. An interesting letter reached us yesterday.

Who wrote it we do not know. Here it is: Dear F. B. Read in your column about plans for booming the neighborhood. I am with you heart and soul in project and hope it will be done, as things are certainly going backwards badly.

Here is a suggestion you may offer your readers. Let us all chip in a small amount of cash and organize a large committee to advertise section to people all over the metropolitan district. There are many advantages here we should point out. Rent is cheaper than elsewhere in the borough and the home environment is better. The type of people who make their homes here now is the best any section can hope for and we ought to let the world know it.

ANXIOUS. While there is a great deal of merit in the suggestion offered by our correspondent, it is not the time to raise funds. Business men are in need of all the cash they have on hand and unless enough can be raised, the project should not be attempted.

SHore Road 6-10091 Juvenile Screen Crown Reached for by Boy Star Formerly of Bay Ridge Jackie Kelk, 8, Now Taking Prominent Role in Broadway Stage Production, Wins Acclaim for Clever Acting Jackie Kelk, Bay Ridge, and is reaching Jackie Coogan By PRUDENCE BURT clever little stage star who formerly lived in now resides with his parents at 209 Lefferts for the juvenile screen crown once held by and now possessed by Jackie Cooper.

He has been signed by Brothers, and will go to Hollywood in quest of further fame and fortune when he completes an engagement with "Bridal Wise," now playhoping at the Cort Theater in Manhattan. Jackie is just 8 years old, and, in the opinion of critics, if he continues the histrionic pace he has maintained for the he four years, his future in the movies is assured. As the bad little boy of wealthy parents in "Bridal Wise," Jackie has stolen scene after scene from the two leads, James Bennie, who plays the role Jackie's father, and Madge Kennedy, that of the mother. The child portrays his part with remarkable naturalness and assurance, and, off stage, he is just as unaffected as he is when disporting behind the footlights. For the part of Peter Borroughs, Jackie was selected from 1,800 child actors, and his salary now approaches that of adult principals in the play.

He expects to go to England, with extended the run company before in August, transferring his talents to the Warner lot in Hollywood. Although none of his ancestors had been on the stage, Jackie developed a talent as a mimic when only about. a His baby first just able attempts to were toddle ole mimic the dog and cat; then from that he progressed as he learned to speak, to reproducing the voices of his father and mother, and then to aping the mannerisms of family and neighbors. Three years ago he won a silver cup in a baby parade at Long Beach, when he posed as Mayor Walker. Since then he has done impersonations in vaudeville and at club entertainments of various stage stars, each appearance adding to his fame.

When Jackie was seen at his dressing room at the Cort Theater, 48th near Broadway, after a matinee, he was wiping cold cream his face. George M. Cohan or John Barrymore could not have done it any better. Mrs. Willy Kelk.

his mother, who was in the dressing room, said: "My child has always been fond of the theater. As baby he act little parts before the mirror, all by himself, in his little Flatbush bedroom. He goes to Children's Professional School, on 59th Manhattan, where he is always on call for managers. Show business is his real hobby. His weekly salary shows he is successful, too." Mrs.

Kelk's greatest joy now is seeing Jackie play the bad boy Frank Craven's direction in "Bridal Wise." Miss Mandel Married To Jack L. Dolmatch The marriage of Miss Caroline Mandel, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Max Mandel of 1180 47th to Jack L. Dolmatch, son of Mr.

and Mrs. Levy Dolmatch of 55 Lee took place Sunday night in the Concordia Club, 4820 15th Ave. A reception and dance followed the ceremony. Shirley Muriel Miller was maid of honor, and the best man was Samuel Sovner. Following wedding trip abroad the couple will make their home in Manhattan.

JUVENILE STAR Jackie Kelk Civics Oppose Calling Drive for Eriksson Continued from Page 1 don't see any reason why it should be changed," the Rev. Carl S. Ohman, pastor of St. Johannes' Swedish-Finnish Lutheran Church, said. "If the name Leiv Eriksson or any other name is used to designate the road it might be confusing and misleading.

It would be hard to pronounce and more difficult to spell. "While I am a Scandinavian, I feel that the city authorities have been most considerate in naming streets and squares in honor of our great men, and that should be enough for the present. "Should a new boulevard or park be developed, however, it might be within the bounds of propriety to ask that it be named for one of our national heroes, but otherwise I do not believe it wise or right to even ask for such." Lifeboat Race Coming Here, Troy Declares Continued from Page 1 likelihood of taking crews from ships anchored in New York harbor to Baltimore for participatin and entailing a 1ss of two to three days time. He viewed it as threatening shiping trade in this city and causing the lines here large losses in time and money. He also noted that the crews have following in New York because it is their port of call and this following could not be got to travel to Baltimore to watch them race.

With the reported declaration of Captain Milliken, Troy is now "positive the races are coming to Bay Ridge."
