By MACK SENNETT.

There are some things that the
public simply will not laugh at.
Nobody knows just why, but it Is
just fact that they will not.
One Of these is a Shetland pony.
For some reason they resent hav-'
ing a "Shelty" made fun of. We
have tried them in all kinds Of
comedies, but 1t is useless. They
just will not laugh. They will
laugh at any other kind Of horse
in a comedy situation; they begin
to smoker whenever they see a
burro come on the screen. But
not a pony.
They will not take a joke about
a preacher unless he has little
side whiskers. An ordinary preacher
with an ordinary smooth face is
very likely to inspire resentment;
the audience takes it as a slam
at religion. But when the preacher
has little side whiskers and a flat
top to his hat, 1t seems to be ac-
cepted by the audiences that you
don't mean any reflections.
~ X \
BY the same token, in the old
pie.throwing days, I always no.
ticed that they didn't like TO sec
a girl in a white lawn dress hiS
with pies. In fact, they didn't
like to see. young girls pie-strewn
anyhow. They didn't mind more
elderly women. But. they shrank
from this indignity to young girls.
Which would seem that something
is the matter with our national
bump of reverence.
~
Perhaps the oldest thing of all
is that they resent any KIM of
tieformity on the screen except
crossed eyes. They would hate
you II you made fun OF a man
with one arm; they would walk
out Of the theater II you tried to

THIRD OF YALE'S
CHRONICLES
AT PALACE

Great dangers were run by the
men who represent the band of
valiant Virginia coIonists who fol.
lowed George Rogers Clark
through the flooded forest in
"Vincennes," the third edition of
the Chronicles OF America" &C.
ries issued by the Yale University
Press, which will constitute one
Of the twin features Of the bill
at Loew's Palace for the week
beginning tomorrow afternoon.
Director Edwin L. Hollywood
was fortunate in finding a wooded
swamp exactly like the swamp
that lay between the fighters and
Vincennes, The time of proiuc-
ton, which was in February.
synchronized with the actual
event.
Because Of the fallen and hidden
logs, the muck and the terrific
cold, the men engaged for this
big scene in ''Vincennes'' ran
many dangers, and all Of them
suffered extremely from cold and
privation.
Though not called upon to enter
the swamp, Director HOLLYWOOD
suffered injury when the platform
erected for the cameramen and
director was undermined by the
mud and they were plunged into
the water. He was hit in such a.
manner that the flesh on his leg
was scraped to the bone and he
was laid up for several weeks.
Yale alumni in Washington are
greatly interested in the presenta.
ton of "Vincennes," as the pic.
ture is one of a series issued BIZ

veal the hardships suffered by
early Americans.

Cowl was part author Of the plays

characters appeared.
Peggy Lawrence was rather a

her lover to France and nard-

Kathleen Dungannon, in

wedding night and her ghost ap-

SCORNS FORTUNE
FOR SNEEZlNG
SEAL

It was more good luck than
good management that brought
together Marcelle and his won
derful seal, Jackie, who has now
achieved a place in the Keith
hall of fame beside Jennie, the
shimmying elephant, and Jocko,
the juggling crow, who is fea-
tured at Keith's for next week.
Jackie was born on a ship be.
tween San Francisco and Liver
pool. Marcelle was an English
music hall performer, looking for
d seal to train. He selected
Jackie because she was a trifle
fatter and healthier than the
others. There was no way OF
telling at that time that this seal
would become the prima donna of
sealdom, and the only one who
ever laughed, sneezed and talked
without the inducement OF fire.
