Realism in a Race

"CTRAINING thoroughbreds in the
stretch! Jockeys in flaming
colorS, crouched over their mounts!
Laboring lungs and taut muscles!
Flaring nostrilsi Great hearted horses,
expending their last ounce of courage,
their last gasping breath, in a neck
and-neck finish as they flash past the
judges stand
That is what the press agent says
of king Of the Turf" the photoplay
announced at one of the local theaters
this week.
And the climax. even more exciting
than the race on the fiat which
begins this stirring classic of horse
dom, is a steeplechase-the most SEN
sational Of races-between two silk
skinned thoroughbreds. Down the
homestretch you see these two great
monarchs of the track fighting desper.
ately with the favorite for first place.
Then 10! and behold the pattering of
hoofs is heard, the silver screen is sud
denly raised and there they are-two
OF them, live. race horses, running
the race and driven by living Jockeys,
their legs going like pistons, breath
whistling through their distended nos
trils, and thus you see the actual finish
in the flesh of thrilling horse race,
the details of which have previously
been unfolded to you on the screen.
1.-THE winner is announced, the
silver screen is again lowered and the
beautiful love story unfolds to its
close"

The. Constant Variable.

II HAVE always held that humor
does not vary with age or place,
but that the great and constant vari-
able is the audience" says Eddie
Bowling, vaudeville headliner.
II don't agree that the thing that
gets a laugh on Broadway will get a
laugh in Chicago. Physically there
is a greater distance between New
York and Chicago than there is be-
tween London and Paris. We don't
expect the English to laugh at the
same things a Partisan might, so why
expect New York to laugh at some
thing that might send Chicago into
Mysteries.
"Take Boston, for example. If one
went to certain sections of Boston one
might imagine himself In a certain
part of England. And in any section
of New York one can imagine himself
in Moscow or Shanghai. And because
of these geographical and social differ
enceS it is difficult for humorist with
headquarters in New York to routine
his stuff so that 1t will appeal univers-
ally to 48 States made up of peoples
from all the countries of the world
"The Hebrew comedian has little
chance below the Mason and Dixon
line. but the Irish comedian finds Chi
cago and the Northwest always friend
ly. The fly or flip comedian who deals
in the so-called wise crack brand of
humor finds q ready response from
the butter and egg people who sup
port the theater on Broadway,
$50 it's not, actually the brand of
humor that makes a comedian, but
the types and demands of the audi
enceS.
