Congregation B’nai Israel
Senior
Friendship
By Harry Frank Rose
Senior Friendship Club’s
“Good Old Vaudeville Days”
played to a ‘SRO” audience on
Thursday, March 16, being com
pelled to turn down hundreds of
requests for tickets of admission
due to the auditorium having a
capacity of 300. However, this
gives the club the opportunity of
a second performance to be pre
sented in a larger auditorium
with the entire proceeds to be
donated to the Jewish Commun
ity Council for the benefit of
the under-privileged children of
Camp Kadima as scholarships.
Eighteen acts of vaudeville
were presented in the style and
format of the Gay 90’s and Roar
ing 20’s, opening with the Senior
Friendship’s new symphony or
chestra playing “76 Trombones.”
Harry Rose followed with im
personations of Eddie Cantor
singing “Ida”; Harry Richmond
warbling ‘Bye Bye Blackbirds”
and Georgie Price sang ‘Califor
nia Here I Come.” Ada Marx
and Helen Birkhahn offered a
piano violin duet, playing a med
ley of “girlie” songs that went
over with the audience. Ethel
Green, the Sophie Tucker of the
South, rocked her house as she
sang “Some of These Days,”
“Yiddisher Mamma,” * St. Louis
Blues” and “I can’t Give You
Anything But Love, Baby.” Art
Hilliar, 80-year-old wooden shoe
dancer, Irish Jigged and clogged
to the delight of all. Manny
Ward, playing the character of
“Little Nancy Ward,” put over
a comedy song entitled ‘Why
Do They Always Pick On Me”
hitting his audience with a retil
bang. Dora Kaiser sang ‘Paper
Roses,” "I Believe” and “Yaya
Con Dios” to an appreciative
audience. Arthur Harris won his
listeners as he sang “One Alone,”
“Sweet Mysteries of Life” and
“The Lord’s Prayer.” Betty Mil
ler, aided by Art Roamer, offered
“It’s Nice To Have A Man
Around the House,” which was
terrific. Manny Ward rendered an
accordion specialty and Hy Gold
man closed the first portion of
the performance by bringing
back memories of A1 Jolson
singing “Rock-abye my Baby
With A Dixie Melody,” “Melon-
choly Baby” and “Carolina In
The Morning.”
