MAYOR PLAYS A
PART IN MOVIES
Was Bashful but Finally
Got in Front of the
Camera.

Mayor Wooden will surely get a
job with the motion picture manu-
facturers after his present term eX-
pires, If any Of them should happen
to see the picture, "Our Tulsa Girl"
now being made by local society
folks.
Yesterday "Our Tulsa Girl" visited
the city hall and asked to meet his
honor. Mayor Wooden was glad, as
always, to meet the young lady, but
he did not want to become a "moyie"
actor That he is subject to the in
fluencc Of the ladies is evident, be-
cause he at last consented to pose.
The meeting took place in front OF
the city hall and all those who took
part declare that the mayor is a reg
ular actor man. He played first
part in q first-class manner, as the
folks who witness the first run of
this new picture at the Empress next
Tuesday will agree.
Those who know Mayor Wooden
know that he objects strenuously to
what he calls "grandstanding," but he
always does his part in any move to
advertise Tulsa. and as the young
ladies assured him that a scene with
him was necessary to make a success
full story he joined in.
"Our Tulsa Girl" promises to be
one Of the mCst interesting stunts
pulled in Tulsa for some time. quite

municipal court on q lewd conduct
