This Bohemian Club. or Gang rather,
is Just about the most unique organiza-
ton that was ever held up for the ar
rival of corkscrew. 1t started exactly
so years ago. 1t started over an actor.
About the only things that actors can
start is a fad or a divorce But this
actor had lost his Job in Frisco and had
10 so to New York to work where all
the other actors laying off could see
and criticize him Frisco gave him a
dinner and they give 1t in a grove out
in the country, and they had such n
good dinner nobody woke up all night
and when daylight come they found
they had communed with nature, and
it being the first time they had ever
slept under anything but shingles and
mortgages. that they said Lets come
every year and get SO we cant get back
home that night"
Well, that was not only a suggestion
but an inspiration. But what actor
can we offer an excuse for being here
to see fired?" "Oh, we can always find
fired actor If we give a dinner and
lay out In the woods every time an actor
gets fired We will be In the forest more
than Rip Van Wrinkle"
So they made arrangements TO go to
the forest again and they decided to
call 1t club and get name for IT,
They was so bright Ii took en- a year
to think of name, and that was be-

SOLDIER AND ACTOR

A young soldier in the signal
corps at Camp Little told a story
of suffering from amnes a to the
authorities in Bisbee after they
had taken him into custody as a
suspected deserter. Feigning lapse
of memory and later recovering
his faculties convinced Deputy
Sheriff Ryan that he was the vict-
i'm of amnesia or some similar all
ment.
The soldier evidently thought
that having convinced the sheriff
and the fact that the Tucson Star
published a story of the amnesia
victim would exonerate him.
However it didn't fool 1t. Hard
in, his officer. He was merely suf-
fering from pay day and is regard
ed as A. W. o. L. but we give him
credit for being good actor.
