JOHNNY WANTED TO BE A SAILOR BOLD Dooley Pleaded With His Father to Be Allowed to Go to Sea, but He Was Refused and That Made Him an Actor—and a Good One. Johnny Dooley, who is one of the stars of Earl Carroll’s “Vanities,” coming to English’s Monday night for the week, wanted to be a sailor when he was a lad. Johnny is next to the oldest of the Dooley family. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and when he was 3 years old his family moved to this country, settling in Philadelphia.

His father was and is working in the Dooley vaudeville act, a sailor for twenty years, and the sea hid an inherent appeal for the youngster, who found work in a local shipyard, where, he tells with pride, he helped build the Finland, the Kronland and anew battleship at the League Island Navy yard. Again and again Johnny pleaded with his father to take him to sea with him, but, his father constantly refusing, the boy stowed himself away on the vessel on which the elder Dooley was the chief steward, and great was the fracas when Johnny was discovered. For three years, however, he sailed the sea, raising himself during that time from mess boy to chief steward and purser. During Johnny’s absence brother William had gone on the stage as an acrobat, for Dooley, Sr., had been with Hangler’s circus in Scotland for a number of years and had trained the children from their earliest days. William’s career appealed to his brother more than the sea. So with Vincent Tydeman he went into vaudeville, and played anywhere to keep working. That was in the winter, but when summer

Keeping Pace With the Fastest Growing Sales in Clothing History RICHMAN’S CLOTHES

We can offer no stronger evidence that Richman’s Clothes are winning new hosts of friends, each week, than the fact that it is frequently necessary for us to increase our manufacturing facilities and production. When this latest addition to our great Cleveland factory has been completed, 4,000 skilled men and women will be kept busy making Richman’s Clothes to keep pace with the ever increasing sales of our 31 stores and hundreds of sales agents. Never have we increased production at the expense of quality—we build and organize for the future. Finer quality and greater value invariably go hand in hand with Richman growth. Today, Richman’s Clothes give you style, quality and value that only Richman resources could produce to sell at $22.50.

came Tydeman went back to baseball and Dooley became an office boy for Bart McHugh, a local vaudeville agent. One night, at a party, he was introduced to Harry Francis, a vaudeville actor, who was seeking anew teammate. He suggested that Johnny become his comedy partner, and so it was that Johnny Dooley, after seven years of acrobatic work, became a talking comedian. After the first show Francis broke the news that Johnny was so bad that the manager was closing the act then and there. So back to his office job went John, but not at all convinced of defeat. One afternoon McHugh announced that he had nothing for “next to closing” in Reading, and Johnny volunteered to go on to fill the bill, and show big time with New York Winter Garden revues, “Ziegfeld Follies,” “Earl Carroll Vanities” and now Johnny is a big star headliner. Other theaters today offer: “The Dove,” at Loev's Palace; Gene Green, at the Lyric; “The Spider,” at English’s; “The Plastic Age,” at the Ohio; surprise week at the Indiana and burlesque at the Mutual.
