From this Berlin works on the final version. Often after a song has been published he changes it. His bill for Rowers for the Mrs. is $1,000 a month. Of all the songs he has written, a figure exceeding four hundred, his favorite is “The Song Is Ended But the Melody Lingers On.” Is very restless. Can’t sit or stand still. Always paces the floor. He walks miles in any room he is in. It is the only exercise he gets. As far as playwrights go, his taste begins and ends with George S. Kauf man. As for music, he’ll whistle any thing by Jerome Kern. For lyrics he hands first prize to B. G. De Sylva. And if asked to name the swellest guy in the theatrical game, he’d shout Sam Harris. He has had to change his entire work ing schedule since he became a father. He has never worn a diamond. The only jewelry he wears is, occasionally, a pearl tie pin. After finishing a song he sings it to the first person he meets. A bell boy at Palm Beach was the first to hear “Lazy.” A Broadway taxi driver was the first to hear “All Alone.” A bewildered strang er, occupation unknown, was the first to hear “Say It With Music.” He never writes anything in longhand hut his signature on a check. Everything else he prints. The one thing in life he is looking for ward to is walking into a restaurant with his daughter, Mary Ellen. Fannie Brice She was horn at the stroke of mid night on October 29, 1892. Her square monicker is Fannie Borarh. She enjoys a good cry. Hasn't a long list of friends. But those she has she can tap for anything. She took the tag of Brice from John Brice, a next-door neighbor. He is now a watchman on the Ninth Avenue elevated. She told him that some day he'd see his name in lights. Is a good judge of diamonds, furs and the value of real estate. There is one thing in this world she can't stand. That is cream in her cof fee. It makes her sick. She is the proud mother of two chil dren. A girl of nine and a hoy of seven. Has one brother, Lew, in the theatrical business. Also has one sister, Caroline, who believes that she would be a great actress if she didn’t suffer from asthma. Her hobby is taking photographs of bedrooms. She has a picture of every bedroom she ever lived in. Made her stage debut at Keeney’s Theater in Brooklyn on amateur night. She won first prize singing, “When You’re Not Forgotten By the Girl You Can’t Forget.” The only instrument she can play is the piano. That is, if hunting for notes with two fingers can be called playing. Her father owned a string of saloons. He was known as “French Charlie.” Her mother really ran the saloons, for “French Charlie” was always playing pinocle. When traveling she takes an electric stove with her. She’ll cook for anybody who wants to eat. She once worked in a movie house on Eighty-Third Street and Third Avenue. Here she sang songs, sold tickets and painted signs. Her salary was $8 a week. Is one of the best dressed women in the theater. Has her dresses designed es pecially for her. While in Hollywood she made dresses for Dolores Costello and Norma Talmadge. The moon makes her serious. When watching Fannie perform her mother always says to the people sitting about her: “That’s my daughter. She’s good, isn’t she?” She dislikes people who are perfect and have everything. Believes that such people miss something in life. After she sang “My Man” for the first time her salary was raised from $1,000 to $3,000 weekly. Her present husband is Billy Rose, who also writes her songs for her. Her nickname for him is “Putsy.” She'd walk ten miles if she could win dow shop on the way. Otherwise she wouldn’t walk two blocks. Her first comedy song was “Sadie Salome.” She sang it merely to help Irving Berlin, then a newcomer, along. It started her on the road to fame and fortune. She is a card shark. When it is her turn to name the great est actor in the world she cheers long and loud for Muni Wrisenfreund. (Paul Muni). Is never nervous on an opening night. Ten minutes before the opening curtain of Fioretta she was busy selling hats to chorus girls. When signing checks she spells it “Fanny.” In the bright lights of Broad way she insists that it be “Fannie.” She was once a soubrette in a Hurtig and Seamon Burlesque show. Whenever she visits her mother she hears these two things: “Oh, did I cook a good soup yesterday. It was like Gold.” And—“Fannie save your money.” Likes to play the horses. Once was given a false tip and bet $400 on a horse that had never won a race. Through a fluke the horse managed to totter over the line a winner. That night the bookmaker not only delivered the money to her but also the horse. As far as a favorite disk goes she is torn between an acquired taste for fried pork chops and a natural love for kip pered herring. No matter how hard she may try, she can’t say cinema, panorama and alumi num. She summed up the Hollywood situa tion better than anyone else when she said: “I was out there eight months. I worked five weeks and got three years’ pay.” At her wedding to Billy Rose she had a man, Jay Brennan, serve as brides maid. Claims she never feels better than when she is expecting a baby. Eddie Cantor His name isn’t Eddie and it isn’t Can tor. It’s Izzy Iskowitch. He never saw his mother or father. Although a bundle of nerves and energy on the stage, he is very quiet at home. Likes to sit around in pajamas and rest. His theatrical career started as a sing ing usher in a movie house. Also was in Gus Edward’s “Kid Kabaret” act.
