BY JAMES w. DEAN
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Tin
wings grow on Dorothy's clavicles
until Prof. Balzamo shines eighteen
candlepower p~lateglass diamond in
her eyes. Then she becomes Becky
with naughty impulses.
The Prof. was B. H. P.-meaning
Bachelor of Hokus Pokus.
He mesmerized Dorothy's mother
and she followed diamond while h
Prof. used Dorothy as sideshow ex-
hibit to gather in shekels at hick
towns.
Mommer died and Dorothy did ten
miles on Dixie Highway TO old home
stead. Rustic swain gave her drink
of water and pair Of calf eyes,
Then he pulled fox paw. He gave
her diamond and that caused her
autohypnotism. She missed on W
mental cylinders and threw connip-
ton fit.
DR. Emerson took her to his nut
garage for brain overhauling. Found
crossed wires and fly in ointment.
Dorothy was his own daughter.
Newspaper clipping kept in Houdini-
proof tin box said so.
Prof. Bambozzle was good at sec
ond-story work. Climbed in Dor
'sthy's room and shook mean dIa-
Esfond at her. Discovered! Meet
muh at the hotel when the cuckoo
:eucks nine" he Kissed.
DIR. Emerson took Dorothy 10
metaphysical laborator and whlrll-
sgigged twelve signs Of the zodiac on
her while calf-eyes swain held her
tlily-white.
Dorothy completely equilibriumed.
Beck and naughty impulses evapo-
rate into ~nothingness whence they
scame. The cuckoo cucked in vain.
sThe Prof. 3S-calibered his left tenn
pie.
Dorothy and swain vision vine
lowered cottage with mock-orange
hedge and double-exposure children
cumming around it. Fade-out.
This film is called 1.-THE Case Of
Becky" Constance Binney is Becky,
iMantagu Love the Prof. and Glenn
Hunter the swain. The moral is: If
iyou have two personalities swallow
lone quart ~raisins, one bushel cracked
seorn and three yeast cakes and for
get about one of them.
II this doesn't mean anything TO
;vou, it doesn't to me. I've attended
kitwo thousand lunacy trials. Eleven
thundred of them were dementia
Hnraecox. THE Case of Becky is
NO. 1101.
\They told me the picture was a
'zthdy in metaphysics. Maybe my
scokplex wasn't working.
