"sir." said an editor OF punch -
an have you understand that our
Jokes arc not 20 be laughed at"
That punch" editor is typical Of all
makers Of laughter from the first
Neandcrthalian man who sent his mate
into outlaws by slipping on discarded
bit Of dinosaur blubber, down the cen
turics to our own Dunnes, Adamses'
Lardncrs and Benchleys. He is pro-
testing against the attitsdc Of the
mass Of mankind toward his art. From
Aristophanes 10 Ade. humorists have
desired TO be taken seriously; that Is
10 say. they have wished to be aeknowl-
edged By more than the few TO be the
men Of intellect, penetration, weight
and philosophy that in fact they arc.
Now between the simple mechanics
OF slipping on a bit Of blubber and
the keen shafts Of Mr.. Dooley are some
millions OF years OF development. How
ever. the humorist can't help realizing
that the making Of laughter to-day is
still regarded. pretty generally, as a
low form Of human endeavor. at its
best. less praiseworthy let US say than
the composition OF etudes for begin
ming pianists. or the manufacture OF
motor cycles or tooth paste, and in
eomparably lower, in the artistic scale
than the incubation Of fifth rate SON
nets. beginning,
"Oh, Death, upon thee oft ponder
deep"
The humorist's protest against this
false estimate Of his art is more than
self-jus,iication. 1t is a protest against
the larva state Of our civilization
against the emotional moronism that
appraises tears above laughter. and the
dull ore Of solemnity above the golden
coin Of Wit.
New-York tribune., 1922-06-11

What is the state Of the national
humor to-day? Low. Higher than It
was. perhaps, but still much too low.
Who is to blame? The makers OF
laughter themselves are partly to
blame for they have been maneuvered
into being on the defensive about their
art, and, indeed, regret to say, some
times a little ashamed Of II.
Take such an artist as Charlie Chap
lin. How slow the dwellers on our
artistic Parnassus have been 70 admit
his genius. Isn't the real reason be-
cause he makes them laugh at them
selves? Well. Charlie harbors n de-
sire 10 play Hamlet. have no doubt
he could do il. But why should he
want to- The reason seems 70 me 10
be this: He is the victim Of the in
feriority complex that is forced on all
makers Of laughter by an essentially
dull and humorless age. Chaplin has
a scientiae attitude toward his work
and a complete mastery Of his medium.
In brief. he is a genius. In Max East
mans new book "The Sense Of Humor,'
chaplin answers the question What
DO YOU do 10 people 10 make them
laugh ?" as follows:

7 bring home 70 them by means OF a
shock the sanity Of a situation which
they think Is insane. When ! walk up

Fay Courtney Says Finding
Theme for a Catchy Song
Is lust Like Fishing.

rHE Courtney Sisters, who
bring to Shubert Advanced
Vaudeville a wide and as
sured fame, have proven in the
preparation Of Troubles of 1922"
which is at the Belasco Theater
this week, a rare gift as song
writer's. They worked with George
Jessel in creating the book and
lyrics Of his new show.
Finding themes for songs is
like fishing-there's as much luck
as skill in f." explained Miss
Fay Courtney. you know that
old thing we used to sing when
we were kids in school. There's
Music In the Air" Well. there
is. literally in the air.
You wake in the morning
with a Jingle jumping IN the
window at you. Maybe it's the
way the milkman's horse clop-
clops along, You don't know ex-
actly how the words get into
your head, but there they are.

repeats out your order in a funny

again. You can't escape lyrics
once your mind begins to work
that way. OF course, there are q
lot Of them that get away-like
fish after a bite. Somehow I
can't keep from talking about
fish when I'm telling about our
lines"
After the show at night Jessel
and the Courtney Sisters COM
pare notes on their days inspira-
tions. They may have discov-
cred a better line for a song that
is already in the show. or they
want to substitute a new one.
They are always trying to i'm
