Frank Bacon Loses Bet
When August SLightnin' >
Record Is Handed Him

In one Of his curtain speeches after
the second act of "Lghtnin'," at the
Gaiety last week, Frank Bacon re-
vealed an experience Just completed
with a press clipping bureau as follows
"It's good, my friends, to get this
tribute for old 'Lightnin' Bill Jones
after something just happened. A fell
low from press clipping bureau came
to me the other day and hornswoggled
me out of an order to prove how good
he was and how good am-of course, ]
knew it all the time-how good I was
in fact, l knew it first-but l took him
up. He told he to give him an order
to cut out this man Frank Bacon-and
just make it Bill Jones and Lightnin'.'
$50 l did, and waited to see how
much was printed about Bill Jones
and Lightnin' without Frank Bacon.
The first bunch of stuff came in and
the postman had to bring his little son
to help him carry it. 1t was some clip
ping bureau, and I thought to myself
he had been clipping ads, and every
thing from South America, Europe and
political speeches. l looked the clip
pings over, and derned if that cuss
hadn't sent me everything that had
been struck by lightning during the
month Of August. So | wrote him-sea-
son for lightning storms closed-close
the account and send bill--you win. |
am now sadder but much enlightened
man."
