In classic myth Cerberus was the mart-headed dog that guarded the entrance to the infernal regions. Some early poets gave him 50 or even 100 heads, but later ones limited him to three. Serpents wound about his neck and a serpent's tail terminated his body.

R04DWr NIGHTS By AXEL STORM

Distributed by Veteran minstrel and marathon tunesmith Joe E. Howard is a man who has sampled the as sorted flavors of Fame. And they have not all been sweet. There's nothing part icularly palatable, for instance, in goi n g around with a wellfed ego, but an empty stomach. Oh, yes! Joe was around when that -famous vaudeville ma gician wound up by eating JOE HOWARD his trick rabbit. . But that's all past tense now. At 'he age of 80, after ups and downs that would turn a business chart into a cubist design, Joe has joined those show business immortals whose romantic stories have been trimmed to fit Hollywood scenarios. The picture, which concerns Joe and the part he and his songs played in theatrical history, is titled, "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now," which happens ter be the title of his most "famous and profitable number. After attending a studio preview the other night, I left the air-conditioned little showroom with the hero of the occasion and we walked along one of those streets on New York's west side where the mixed smells of a hot day cling to the air. Joe Howard is a 6-footer, with steel-gray hair and amazingly well preserved for his years and the trouper's life he has lived. We weren't talking about the events in the picture, because I already knew that it would take a year-long serial to capture any percentage of Joe's career, particularly in those days of the old west when he played Tombstone, Virginia City, Denver and way points. Joe packs more memories than a spinster's diary, so any resemblance between our conversation and the events in the film story is entirely coincidental. No we were talking about how Joe got that way in the first place. But it soon became apparent that on this sweat-drenched midJuly evening, coincidence was not suffering from a broken arm. For as we approached Ninth Avenue, a iuke box in a down-at-the-heel pub burst out. with "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her' Now." A lad of 8 stopped to listen. Young sweethearts loitered on the corner and began to sing. Men came out of the bar whistling the tune 'that has been familiar.rnore ' than one generation.

Klnc Featurei, Inc.; florid-faced man shouted at the small boy, and swung an open palm at the lad's head. Joe smiled. He said: "That's the way it was with me. My dad was always taking a swipe at me. It was done in those days. Don't ask me why." For Joe Howard was born in Mulberry Street, near the Five Points, now a derelict-infested confusion of corners where Chinatown meets the Bowery. Then it was the battle ground of Manhattan's most notorious gangs.. Joe's father was known as "Big John," and ran a sa loon. The family occupied the rooms over it. His mother was a sensitive, intelligent woman who read Keats and Shelley. She Invented tunes to fit the words and sang them to little Joe. He never forgot them. His mother died when he was nine and Joe ran away. Picked up by the police, he refused to tell his name and was sent to Father Drumgoole's orphanage in downtown New York. Eventually his identity was revealed and, sent back to his father, he again ran away. This time he headed west, with another young runaway, and wound up in Kansas City, where they became "boy entertainers" at the famous Snavely Saloon and Billiard Parlors. There it was that he got his chance to sing that grand old-time tearjerker, "A Boy's Best Friend Is His Mother." Soon he got a stage tryout, and as a member of a roustabout stock company, began his adventures in the Western boom towns. One day, while listening to a : phone call, he got the idea for "Hello, My Baby" and his career as a hit song writer was launched. After that came Chi cago and the old New York of Tony Pastor's and Niblo Gardehs...a stage tour with Battling Bob Fitzsimmons. . .a ca-. reer in the first movies to be made. In the course of time he wrote 520 songs and was party to the writing of 21 musical' shows, 15 of which fared very . well. When he turned out "Somewhere in France There's a Lily," during the first World . War, his royalties rolled in and he was making $5,500 a week in vaudeville. But vaudeville hit the skids and so did Joe How-' ard. After the market crash in 1 1929, he was almost penniless and had to go bark to work. In recent years he's been doing his old-time numbers at .the Dia-. mond Horseshoe. But he's sit" ting pretty now, what with the money from his picture. But he's going on singing the same old tunes as long, as there-are people to listen. '.. ' . were ' entertained with a six o'clock dinner Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Bennett.
