LONDON -(INS)- A 75-year-old
night watchman named; Billy
Whltlock, once a $300 - a - week
vaudeville star, is the composer of
the song hit The Hop-Scotch
Polka." . ; i

front-rank of dollar earners be
cause a very old tinny-voiced
phonograph record was played as
a Joke at a New York night club.
Ouy Lombardo heard the record
and decided It was a winner. It
was recorded again, and immedi
ately caught on.

London to see if the original sing

Whltlock said. "There I was just
'pottering-along, getting by as well
as I could on any job that offered,
and here, I am with my. pockets
stuffed with contracts."
i The records of his song, a rol
licking old-fashioned . polka, are
selling at? a rate of 15,000 a; week
in the United States.
"Looking on their pessimistic
side, one of Billy's new agents
said, "hell be worth $9,000 in the
next few months. He can't helD
it. The number was just a natural
nit." . ; H';
Billy, bald, well-built with fine
ly manicured hands, sat in a cheap
London lodging house and said:
"It's wonderful to feel that I'm
back in the swing of things
seeing publishers, making records,
talking 'shop' and meeting people
. again." . i
Since the movies killed his
vaudeville act, Billy; has tried
many ways of making a living.
He has been a sailor, skating-rink
