Hazza Began with ^^East Lynne ”, Now With Educational IDHIL HAZZA, mana^jer of Educational’s Montreal branch, started a theatrical career with roadshows after a hurried education in the public schools. He was advance agent for such shows as “East Lynne” and “U n c 1 e Tom’s Cabin,” playing one night stands. Then he had his own sideshow in the carnival game and found “the ponies” rather fascinating but not conducive to saving money. For a change of climate from Lexington, Ky., he went to Edmonton, Alta., Canada, where he managed a theatre for his brother for two years. RELEASES WEEK OF MARCH 20 “Shoosh,” Charley Bowers, F. B.
