  • National Vaudeville Artists Fund Year Book 1929
    VALDEVILLC ARTISTS FtNE s METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE APRIL 21st — THE PLEDGE OF THE N. V. A. S a mother who guards her own from harm, We shall take our kin by the hand, And their steps we will guide with steady arm To the lovely Saranac Land. We shall smile when they smile, their joys will share, As our path runs freely along; When their hearts overflow with music rare Then our heart shall beat to their song. But if shadows should fall and grief arise You will find us there by the side Of our children adrift ’neath threatening skies And we’ll stem the turbulent tide. For they’re blood of our blood and bone of bone; Not a precious life shall be lost When a mother’s most tender love alone Is the sacrifice for the cost. So our work must go on from year to year. And the strength of motherhood grow; And the faith we shall keep, oh, have no fear- For He knows they’re needing us so! —Roland Burke Hennessy. i Thirteenth Annual "^Benefit HE gala performance tonight brings to a conclusion the coast-to-coast cele- bration of the Actors’ National Jubilee which, in connection with the National Vaudeville Artists’ Organization, has been observed throughout the United States and Canada, in every theatre large and small, during the past week. The entire amusement industry and all of its enthusiastic patrons have united and participated in this one annual jubilee for the cause of philanthropy within the theatrical profession. This occasion marks the logical and complete coalition through the Vaudeville Managers’ Protective Association of all branches of the theatre with the National Vaudeville Artists’ annual drive in behalf of the less fortunate members of the theatrical profession.

  • The Travelin' Grampa
    The Travelin’ Grampa Touring the U.S.A. without an automobile Focus on safe, fast, convenient, comfortable, cheap travel, via public transit. Vol. 12, No. 9 September 2019 Photo credit: Twitter, Popeyes Chicken. Photo credit: Andrew Horne, Wikipedia. Left: Popeyes new chicken sandwich. Right: MTA light rail train Grampa rode to Popeyes in downtown Baltimore. Transit takes travelers to tasty chicken sandwiches Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen fast food chain introduced a spicy chicken sandwich last month. Either because of unanticipated demand or insufficient supply, more than 3,000 of its restaurants quickly posted a notice saying, “We apologize that this location is out of chicken sandwiches.” What followed was a genuine surge in demand it couldn’t keep up with. It had plenty of chicken. What ran out were its brioche sandwich buns. Weeks later, Popeyes’ HQ tweeted, “Try our new BYOB! … bring your own bun.” Frankly, Grampa prefers Wendy’s crispy chicken sandwich, minus mayo, add tomato, partly because two Wendy’s are a short transit bus ride from his residence. He also enjoys Chick-fil-A sandwiches, too, at the Columbia, Md., shopping mall. It’s close to where #203, #305, #310, #315, #320 and #325 MTA commuter buses stop, as do local Howard Transit #401, #405, #406, #407, #408 and #501 buses. Howard Transit’s #408 bus goes to/from the mall and Trader Joe’s on Lark Brown Road. Here, you can get a delicious breaded chicken tenderloin breast and cool, spicy slaw on a toasted bagel, garnished with sriracha mayo and spicy pickle chips. MTA #320 commuter bus stops not too far away.
