Manager "Charlotte’s Finest Laundry” MS S. McDowell St. CHARLOTTE. N. C. BEHIND THE MAKE-UP (Continued from page 23) After this he plays two-handed casino. He plays poker with his staff and loses continuously. He complains they “play too close to the vest.” His father and sister used to operate a movie house in Forrest City, Pennsyl vania. Really believes he bears a striking re semblance to Napoleon both in character and in appearance. He has four secretaries. Yet does most of the work himself, for he believes he is the only person who can do things that made Roxy Roxy. His business correspondence starts “My dear little girl.” It ends with, “Yours truly, S. L. Rothafel.” Is a great golf fiend. When he has nothing to do in the office he shoots a paper golf ball around. Was once a marine, a basball player and a bartender. He cannot read a note of music nor can he play an instrument. However, he has a wonderful memory. He can whistle the entire score of Pinafore. While he is conducting the orchestra some of the musicians will not look at the baton for fear they will make a mistake. Irving Berlin He has a name that will live forever and bought it for a song. Came to this country at the age of four, the youngest of eight children. In Russia his father was a cantor. Here a kosher butcher. He has yet to find a hat to fit him. He eats a lot for one of his size. Plays the piano by car. And only in F sharp. Has a specially constructed piano with a sliding keyboard. When the music calls for another key he merely moves the lever. He is not a one finger player. Uses all his fingers badly. Has a scar on his forehead. It was received on a Washington’s birthday in Cherry Street, trying to start a bonfire. Thinks he is a good stud poker player. His friends say he’s lucky. His pet aversions are riveters and second verses. Ran away from home at the age of fourteen. His first stop was Callahan’s saloon. Here he sang “The Mansion of Aching Hearts” until enough coins were tossed at him to pay for a night’s lodg ing. Later became a singing waiter at Nigger Mike’s Place, 12 Pell Street. The barker on the trip to Chinatown bus now points out the place. He wrote “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” credited with starting the jazz vogue, at the age of twenty-three. Crowds frighten him. So do certain individuals. His idea of a great achievement is writing a song that reaches the million copy mark. Maintains a home in West Forty- sixth Street. But lives elsewhere. The first of every month generally finds him moving. His square monicker is Israel Baline. For a time he went under the name of Cooney. Became Berlin because that was the way the Bowery pronounced Baline. As a singing waiter he kicked a hoofer named George White out of the place for being a pest, and also served A1 Smith. Is always chewing gum. This can be observed by merely watching the funny way his hat moved on his head. His favorite biographer is Alexander Woollcott. He composes in this fashion: First playing the song on the piano. Then singing it to Arthur Johnson, his right and left hand man, who records upon paper what he hears. Then Johnson plays the written manuscript. This is \P O-Butya, ML* Sot* / M CAROLINA BAKING COMPANY Raker* of SOUTHERN BREAD AND CAKE THACKER'S, Inc.
