Joey Adams to Entertain
At CJC Victory Dinner
SPECIAL TO THE SOUTHERN ISRAELITE
One of the best-loved stars in
show business, Joey Adams, will
appear as special guest at the
Victory Dinner for the Com
bined Jewish Campaign at the
Colonial Inn, on Sunday evening,
April 9.
Members of Greater St. Peters
burg’s Jewish Community will
have an opportunity to enjoy this
artist’s talents which have won
him acclaim in every phase of
the entertainment world. He has
made starring appearances on
every major television show, in
cluding “Person to Person,” the
Philco show and his own “Joey
Adams Show.” His broadway
credits include a top role in “The
ALAN’S
Discount Center
Home of Appliances and
Furniture
at Discount Prices
610 - 4th Street South
St. Petersburg, Fla.
Gazebo.” He’s produced two mo
tion pictures and has starred on
a number of radio shows.
Adams is author of six top-sell
ing books and several mystery
stories. And he’s made records
for Coral and MGM.
But Joey Adams is more than
a night club or TV or movie or
radio comic. He’s a man with a
social conscience and a heart.
He's a leader in Jewish charit
able works to the tune of
hundreds of thousands of dol
lars raised and hundreds of
thousands of miles traveled each
year. His special citations include
those from the Federation of
Jewish Charities, Damon Runyon
Fund, March of Dimes, the News
paper Guild, the National Con
ference of Christians and Jews

Advance CJC Gifts
Show Big Increase
"This year’s CJC drive is already well on its way to suc
cess, before general solicitation starts, n states Chairman A. J.
Pardoll in announcing a 20 per cent increase in Advance and
Special Gifts.
Nearly 30 per cent of the 1901 drive total goal has already
been pledged in Advance and Special Gifts. This Is $21,324.00.
Total goal is $72,000.00.
Pardoll has commented on the huge boost in pre-drive
gifts: “This gets us off to a terrific start. I know we’ll make our
goal if the people of the Jewish community respond to their
obligation as these early givers have.
Advance Gifts chairmen are A1 Feldman and Marion Roes.
Special Gifts Chairmen are Irving Sobon and Edward Rogall.
JOEY ADAMS
and Jewish War Veterans.
He was in the headlines in re
cent months for his leading role
in the American Guild of Variety
Artists fight with the New York
Police over identification cards.
City ordinances require that all
employees of cabarets must be
photographed and finger-printed
and must carry a police identifi
cation card. The law aimed at
controlling hoodlums in the night
club business, has been an un
fair and insulting burden to le
gitimate show business perform
ers—including such stars as So
phie Tucker, Frank Sinatra, Joey
Bishop and Jimmy Durante,
Adams claims.
As president of the 20,000
member performers guild, he led
the fight with New York Police
Commissioner Kennedy to do
away with identification proce
dure.
The matter, still pending, has
brought Adams into the storm
center of a national controversy.
And his efforts in behalf of his
fellow performers earned him
their lasting praise.
Guests at the CJC Victory
Dinner will see the many sides
of Joey Adams—the first-ranking
comedian and the man with a
heart. They will laugh to his
jokes and thrill to his stories of
the work of the UJA and other
relief agencies supported by the
Combined Jewish Campaign.
Price of the complete meal,
floor show and dancing is $3.50
per person.
