HOW ABOUT IT?

Did you ever
Call up your only hope
And have her guess
And she names everyone
But you
And then you tell her
And instead Of getting thrill
From the receiver you get
a chill
But finally you get up enough
nerve
To say, Flows for date"
And she hesitates
And asks
Who ID going
And where to
And who'll be there
And what kind OF music
And you lose your wind
Trying to answer her
And then she hesitates once more
And finally says that
She has a date she thinks
But isn't sure
DO you say, wed better make it
Some other time"
And she seems overjoyed at
The thought
And you slam down the receiver
And Immediately go out and kick
over the
Library table?
Did you? -Jack-O-Lantern.

Fable For Critics

A reformer fell heir to a fortune.
He decided to use it in reforming
the taste Of the public for its
movies, by satirizinE the sort of
thing they continually patronized.
So he bought q great studio and
made his great picture.
He did a very good job Of it, too.
He made the thing unbelievably
ridiculous by putting in all the
elaptrap and pathos Of the melo-
dramas they liked. He gave them
Q train wreck 4 forest fire, a
chase over tops Of office buildings,
the stolen jewels, the mortgage on
the old homestead ct al.
He added all the sentimentality
Of the little Eva school: dashii1g
hero. a black.haired villain with
very white teeth, q correctly mar.
celed heroine, a white-haired
mother, a dirty.faced child, the
siekly sister. and a litter Of kittens.
For good measure he managed
to get in a world war and an
eleventh hour rescue from a burn
ing building. and then he showed
It on q public that was unaware
that IT was being reformed.
The miraculous happened. The
public sat up, rubbed its eyes-and
clamofed for more.-Malteaser.
