Chaplin Fliese 40 Miles
To Screen His Comedy

Sydney Chaplin, who will appear
at the Magic City Theater Saturday,
December 10, in "King, Queen and
Joker" his first Paramount comedy
production, is the first producer to
utilize the "sky bus" as a means for
quicker transportation to and from
distant locations. The new means of
transportation was given a trial dur
ing the making Of his initial feature
and was so successful that doubtless
1t will be in great demand in the fu-
ture.
Having selected a valley in the
Santa Barbara mountains, 14O miles
from the Jasper Hollywood studios as
location" for filming certain scenes.
Mr.. Chaplin groomed several Of his
air mounts for the trip and accom-
pllShed his purpose without accident
in less than two hours.
The sky expedition, including star,
cameraman, director, supporting play
ers and necessary equipment, left the
studio at 1880 o'clock in the morning.
Two hours later the Santa Barbara
location was reached and after a safe
landing the company commenced
work.
After the scenes were filmed the
return trip was made and the party
arrived in Hollywood after an alb
sence of only eight hours. Under
other circumstances, Mr.. Chaplin
said, the trip would have necessitated
several days.

TITLE BUNNY COTTONTAm.

LITTLE BUNNY COTTONTAIL.
The first snowfall my fingers itch
Until they seem TO jerk and twitch
With longing eagerness to feel
The welcome touch of wood and
steel
OF my old double barrel and trail
The cunning little cottontail.
It's not the lust TO kill that brings
The longing round my old heart
strings
To scamper out and wade the snow
From dawn to dusk The JOY 1
know
Is just the freedom that I find
In leaving daily cares behind.
Away from all the work and toll
Away from all of the turmoil
OF daily strife and spend the day
With happy smiles and heartbeat
gay
out where the open spaces call
And beckon with the first snowfall.
All 7 could seek no greater bliss
No better happiness than this
To scamper out at break OF dawn
And slip my tattered khaki on
And search 10 find the telltale trail
OF little bunny cottontau.

To do whatever 1 may ask;
He mends the roof. or paints the

He keeps up steam, he tends the

Whenever It is my desire,
He never gives me any lip,
He doesn't ask or want a tip
He feeds my dog, he feeds my cat:
Few janitors are nice as that,
You ask me, where are landlords
Who with such kindnesses abound?
And where do janitors exist
Whose virtues make so long a list?

TWO BIRDS.

IhO BLINDS.
The robin is a rolling stone:
When autumn breezes blow
lie hastens to a warmer zone,
Afar from ice and snow.
He leaves the nest he built last
spring.
He leaves the spot he knew.
Where butterflies were on the wing
And luscious grub-worms grew.
Away he flies, with lightning speed.
Meath kinder skies TO roam,
Nor worries that next year he'll need
To find another home.
The sparrow sticks around the
PLACE,
Shrewd caution fills his breast;
He wants to be on hand in case
Some bird preempts his nest.
He keeps his little beady eve
Upon the wilted weeds.
Which mean an ample food supply
For all his winter needs.
And when the snow is off the ground,
And balmy grows the air,
He doesn't have TO hunt around
The sparrow is bird of thrift.
His worries are but few;
While others fortunes change and
shift
He's always well 20 do.
Though over his devoted head
The Billiards howl and moan,
Upon his nest. his wings outspread,
He stays-and holds his own.
The robins wandering eyes are set
Upon a SUMMER cline
He runs an awful chance-and yet
He has a darn good time
