[78-L] 1933 showbiz trivia

[Stephen Davies]

        In my Internet prowl for details on Jack Denny, I found this 
paragraph in the Ubyssey (pronounced UBC) from the students' association 
at the University of British Columbia, Vol XVI, No 18, 1933-nov-28, p. 3.

DID YOU KNOW: 
        Billy Jones was once a telephone linesman and Ernie Hare a baking 
powder salesman.  Stoopnagle and Budd are now in N.Y. vodvil.  Jeanie Lang 
has left Jack Denny.  Fred Waring has most highly insured band in country. 
 Fred Allen's real name is John Florence Sullivan.  George Burns' is Nat 
Birnbaum.  George Olsen is now in Hotel Pennsylvania and will be reunited 
on air soon with Ethel Shutta.  Leah Bay averaged 94 in her school work 
and edited the high school paper in Norfolk, Va. less than two years ago. 
Abe Lyman was christened Abraham Simon and his ambition is to be locked up 
in a room with Hitler.

        Obviously a reprint of a newswire or subscription service for 
filler.  Having listened to a very combative Abe Lyman on the Jack Benny 
show, I like the idea of him cornering Hitler.
