SHOW HAS
SHOE SHINE
CHAM
"CoIored Valentino" Can Put
Polish on 500 Pairs a Day
Without a Tip.

"Rodolf Valentino" is appearing
daily at the National Food Show
and Household Exposition at Con-
vention Hall. No, not the we'll
known sheik-lover and movie actor,
but 'Rodolf Valentino" colored,
champion shoe sinner of Washing
ton.
| The shoe sinner was christened
Ollie J. Proctor and he lives at
619 Massachusetts avenue north
west, but to everyone outside his
family he is known as "Rodolf
Valentino" He is tall and very
black, with very black hair and
moustache and trick sideburns.
He's as stately as a sheik, but
above all, he's the champion shoe
sinner Of the District.
| "Rodolf" is one of the six col
ored youths employed to give free
shines to patrons Of the show.
The Shoe Sheik Of Convention Hall
shines no less than 500 pairs Of
shoes a day. and his nearest rival
can shine only about 800, or pos
sibly $50. The six together are
shining $500 pairs Of shoes a day
at the show. "Rodolf's" fellow
shoe sinners are Percy, nicknamed
Cheese" Joe, nicknamed "Bliff;"
Raymond, commonly known as
ike" Charlie, better known as
Buck" and George, otherwise
known as "Uncle''

Of Convention Hall today. 1--WE
been shining 'em for twenty-seven
years-ever since I was twelve
years old. Man, want to tell
you I puts my heart into my work.
Other day I shined sixty.five pairs
Of shoes without getting a tip, and
it didn't slow me up a bit. Boy,
when it comes to playing tunes on
shoes, I'm a wild sheik."
Counting beans is one of the
popular pastimes at the show. A
ten-quart steam pressure cooker
will be given to the person coming
nearest to guessing the number of
beans CONTAINED in it. One young
lady filled a half-pint measure with
beans, counted them carefully, and
then multiplied by forty, the num-
Der of half pints in ten quarts. A
young man, learning that the
cooker was nine inches in diameter
and six and one-half inches deep,
counted the number of beans that
could be crowded into a circle nine
inches in diameter, estimated the
average diameter of the beans at
one-quarter of an inch, and then
multiplied the number of beans by
twenty-six, the number of bean lay
ers in a six and one-half-inch depth.
These methods are a bit too scien-
tific for most Of the patrons, who
merely look at the cooker twice
and then guess-al the way from
500 to 3,000,O01.
Members of the Military Order
of the Loyal Legion are special
guests Of the grocers at the show
today. Two hundred members Of
the North Carolina Society of Wash
ington will attend the show in a
body tomorrow.
