Al Smith dropped into our
editorial sanctum yesterday and
reminisced entertainingly about
Houdini.
This Al Smith is company
manager for Mcintyre & Heath,
but for a number of years he
was publicity expert for the
famous magician. He was with
Houdini heart and soul in the
fight on bogus mediums and one
day in Boston the handcuff and
trick wizard called him into his
dressing room at the Majestic
Iheater. There and then Hou-
dini gave him an important
message that Al Smith will al
ways remember him by.
The medium who can tell Al
Smith what that message was
viii win a convert to spiritual
ism. Many have tried. But all
have failed.
I reminded Mr.. Smith that
Houdini was doing ten shows
day with a scent admission at
L. B. Walkers Nickelodeon in
Boston when first Saw him.
Al said Houdini often talked of
those days on Hanover Street.
The late A. Paul Keith gave him
his first chance to make money
and fame on the stage. Given
the opportunity, the magician
disclosed that he had talents as
. Snowman not even Barnun
could surpass.
Peggy Hopkins Joyce is going
to act. She was out for one
full season with Earl CAROLS
"Vanities" without revealing
any GREAT talent for the folks
in front of the footlights. The
women flocked to the "Vani-
ties" to see just what Peggy

LEO THE LION
PREPARES

How would you like to weigh

the world in a cage. as the master
OF a 7S5-pound Nubian lion?
That's what Capt. Frank Phillips,
2Oyear.old wild animal tanner, IS

who until her marriage. was quite
a Jungle vamp is now domestl-
Gated and the proud mother or two
sons and one daughter. 1t needed
the most diplomatic persuasion OF
Metro. Goldwyn.Mayer's executives
To obtain Leo's consent to the trip.
Mrs, Leo cried for days at the
thought of the separation and neE
husband displayed one of the most
perfect eight-cylinder tempera"
ments ever witnessed in HOLLYWOOD.
Then it was delicately limited TO
Leo that the itinerary OF the world
tour would include Africa. Whlie
devoted to Mrs. Leo, the thought
held favor, because Leo boasts
MANY relatives in Nubia, ana ne

MAYER officials explained that
Pullmans didn't travel through
the Jungle or in many other re-
mote corners of the world, so
they did the next best thing by
building a perfectly appointed
lion cage on a powerful motor

Leo will be comfortable and
thoroughly at home. The motor
cage. besides being supplied with
