Mi 14 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 2, 1929. ON THE RADIO LAST NIGHT BODY OF PASTOR y) TO LIE IN STATE PREDICTS MILLION JEWS IN BROOKLYN By "L.S.N-R" Island Shipping Corporation, Mariner's Harbor, on March 16. This boat when completed will be placed In the municipal service and will ply between St. Gcorga and Whitehall Manhattan. She will be the second oil-burning ferryboat in the service, and will have seating capacity for 2,000 passeneis.

Mayor Walker will attend. Bl'S KILLS JERSEY Edward Lyons, 11, of Jersey City, was killed by a motor bus last night while crossing Halladay St. at Johnston ave. James Daly was held on a charge of manslaughter. JAMES IMPRESSED BY UNIMPRESSIVE WHITE HOUSE VISIT late with those awful weepy songs.

We hope Miss Franklin will keep up the good work till she drives all these nuisances off the boards and off the air. James Barton followed Miss Franklin. He is rated as a "comical cuss," but he took up more than half of his few minutes with "Spell of the Blues," which Is the national anthem of the pessimists. "Annabel Lee" was a little more cheerful, but not much of an Improvement on the other song. So that the amount of hilarity created by the famous comedian was less than "A of 1.

The master of ceremonies for this program was Frank Fay. He was either frightened or careless or both, and his efforts were about as interesting as breaking the shell of a two-year-old egg. Cornelia Otis Skinner was the star of the Kodak program, which was inaugurated last evening at R. She did only one short monologue, and that was far the least attractive one we have ever heard her give. It had to do with the picnic of a Southern family and consisted, for the most part, In reprimands for children for dropping "vlttles" into ant-hills, etc.

The rest of the Kodak program presented some good singing and music. One of the star announcements of the evening was made by David Rosenthal of who stated in the most solemn' manner during the "True Story" hour that In the restaurants of New Orleans "music Is provided and received In all sincerity." Jessica Dragonette and Collin O'More added Walter Preston to the cast of their new contlnued-ln-our-next sketch at Z. Preston was the villain of the plot and when the curtain string was pulled by the Old Stager, he was getting on terribly well with his nasty scheme to "make" out Jessica. Colin and the O. S.

were unable to do a durn thing to stop him. They'll have to think pooty hard between now and next Friday night, if they want to do anything in the thwarting line. TWO United States Senators, Walter F. George of Georgia, and Otis F. Glenn of Illinois, let their senatorial duties go hang for a half hour last night, and stood In front of the A microphone to tell their constituents and the country at large something about what it means to be a United States Senator and what the Senate is (Joint; for the country.

This was the second in a series of broadcasts planned by the National Broadcasting Company and a committee of Senators, and if the special session lasts long enough we shall probably hear each Senator once, and some of them even oftener. We can't understand how the New York accent ever managed to creep Into "Jawga," but here was another case of it, followlftj, closely on that of Bill Mundy, who spoke between the acts of the fisticuffs comic opera at Miami. Senator George put a near-Smith twist on several words. He said "wolse," "adjolnment," "thold," "poysen," "soyten," "revolsal" and "presoive." He also passed by the middle in "government" without even a bow. Seni.tor Glenn also had his little peculiarities of pronunciation, though, of course, the New York twist had no place In his style oratory.

Two of his itar words were "tremenjuous" and "momen-chewous." Otherwise his diction was excellent, and he a very fine review of the vork done by the Senate, of which he has been a member only since last December. Some of the big vaudeville stars are getting their radio money without much effort these nights. Last evening Irene Franklin was the chief attraction on the Veedol pro gram, ana an sne had to do was sing a couple of songs, say good night, grab her check and catch the 10:45 for Mount Vernon, or wherever she parks her little person. She won us completely by giving a capital burlesque on the throaty tenor wno has been afflicting us of Rabbi Alexander Lyons of the Eighth Avenue Temple was guest speaker at the tenth anniversary services of the Progressive Synagogue, 1515 46th last night. He predicted that within five years there will be a million Jewi in Brooklyn.

"I have a profound respect for the orthodox Jew, without whom Judaism would have died, but to cater to those observe American customs we mu3t nave ine progressive or liberal synagogue," he said. this end I expect to start, very shortly, a Sunday morning worship hour." Those officiating hi the services were Rabbi Moses 3. Abels of Temple Emanu-El Cantor Isadora Weinstock of the Cnntral Synagogue, Cantor Simon Schlager of Emanu-El, Rabbi Jacob Pollak and Cantor Gustave Freeman of the Progressive Synagogue.

He did not commit himself, but suggested that "Manhattan Park" would probably be more appropriate as a name for Central Park; that "Jefferson Park" might be preferable to Union Square and that Bowling Green should have its name altered to honor some Revolutionary or Colonial hero. Manhattan Burglars Seem to Like Jersey It would appear that Manhattan Island was preying on New Jersey, if the number of robberies and holdups attributed to such gentry were given credit by Commissioner of Police Whalen.

Queens and L. I. Classified To Insert Ads in This Section Call Jamaica 8600 Continued from Page 1. troduced us into a very official looking book. The conference was called for precisely 4 o'clock, and we still he.d a lew spare moments in which to look around and see what was what.

The carpenters and the exterior decorators won't be finished for days, we reasoned, and we might Just as well look around as not. The room was full of newspaper writers of both sexes men and women for the most part whose names are bywords in the various big cities of the country. Everybody was talking, everybody was smoking and. it appeared that everybody was a little bit bored. Everybody, that is, except this reporter, who was having a swell time.

A Large Airy Room. And then, exactly at 4 o'clock, the door of the Executive office opened and we had a view of a small, thin little man parked behind a grotesquely large reddish-mahogany desk. The room In which the President transacts his business is large, and airy, and round. Green wallpaper encourages the Presidential eyes green wallpaper, with solemn, Colonial woodwork, in white, to set it off. A single round, green rug covered almost the entire floor; and set back in the walls, to the President's right and left, are two large bookcases containing heavy, legal-looking books, monotonously bound in buff and red, in legal custom.

Three huge windows bay windows reaching from floor to celling, provide Presidential light, and a view of the White House Grounds, to the north, were draped in heavy green material, with plenty of tassels, to make the place homelike. The balance of the furnishings of the Executive office consist of two large, leather divans and a large leather easy chair, also in green, and a French marble-and-gold clock, with a swinging pendulum, that reposes on a mantle over the large protected fireplace that faces the Presidential desk. He Was Frowning. And behind the mahogany desk, with its complement of neatly sharpened pencils in a neat little row; its clock, its American flag, its water glass on a little silver tray; its bronze bookends and the handful of books between them; its desk pad and the other litter of miscellany, sat Mr. Coolidge.

He was frowning what we have been assured is a customary frown when we, together with the 20-odd other scribes entered, and pulled up In a tight little circle around hi3 desk. And while we waited for the momentous things that were to happen, we had a grand opportunity to study him. No sartorial Tyro, is Mr. Coolidge. Splendor does not accrue to him, or reflect from him.

He wore a plain, double-breasted blue-serge suit, such as any of the 11 gentlemen who try to sell you insurance might wear; a black, lack-lustre necktie; a starched collar that was only, after all a collar and a necktie pin that was a singe pearl. To a columnist better acquainted with the lighter things of life than with matters poltlcal, he looked a lot like Will Rogers, or rather the way that Will Rogers would look, if his forehead was higher. Like Will Rogers, Mr. Coolidge is graying at the temples, and like Will Rogers, too, his brownish hair is thinning. Drones Off the Answers, For a few minutes there was silence silence only pierced by a lady reporter whose footgear squeaked, and by an odd scribe or two who evidently hadn't gone in for the kind of cigarette that prevents a cough.

Leisurely Mr. Coolidge puffed on a cigar through the medium of a long white cigar holdera strange, unimpressive little man whom it became increasingly difficult to think of in connection with the majesty of the Presidential office. And then quite calmly President Coolidge rose, his eyes glued to a number of slips of paper that Le held in his hand, and without once raising his eye3 monotonously he droned off answers to the questions propounded on the slips of paper by curious reporters. The White Houso dogs were to be sent to Kentucky; Mrs. Coolidge insisted on keeping the Chow; he'd been "offered a Job" by the Encyclopedia Americana, which he'd found was a worthy organization, and the gentlemen of the press, present, might "give 'em a hand." Mr.

And so after hearing Richard (Times) Oulahan make a beautiful little address in return we got out hat and coat and went out to see how the carpenters had come alotij.
