#benefit performance

President Hoover was still calling the Depression fake news, but Mayor James J. Walker formed a Committee for the Relief of Unemployed. This is the schedule of Benefit Performances through the co-operation of the Actors’ Equity Association, January 1931. Ticket holders could see Mary Boland, Helen Hayes, and Helen Gahagan, among others.

"Film folk at Benefit Show"

Oliver Hardy, Helen Kane, Stan Laurel & Jimmy Durante are seen here at the Christmas Benefit Show, staged by a Los Angeles newspaper, at the Shrine Civic Auditorium in Los Angeles. Radio, screen, & stage luminaries attended & participated in the festivities.

Laurel & Hardy had just completed production on their short film ; "Twice Two" the previous Thursday.

Jimmy Durante was busy in Hollywood, appearing in 6 feature films that year.

Helen Kane was making various "In Person" appearances at nightclubs & theaters at this point. Sadly, with the hardships of the Great Depression biting, the life of the carefree flapper has had it's day, & Kane's style began to date rapidly, as popular tastes changed.

If you couldn't attend the Christmas Benefit stage show, you could tune in your radio to NBC that night to hear Groucho & Chico Marx in the fourth episode of their series, "Flywheel, Shyster, & Flywheel".
