from what is termed the largest sweet

the north of the guSher.
Gravity of the situation was lesSened
somewhat during the night when the
wind lessel1ed.
A sudden flash of flame, igniting the
oil, would carry disaster and tremen-
dous loss to the citizens of Oklahoma
City
AS a result of yesterdays high wind,
housewives in South Oklahoma City
were warned to close the windows OF
their homes.
Fire fighting equipment was dotted
in strategic locations along the edge OF
the city and throughout the oil fields.
Oil spattered down on the deserted
buildings and shacks of Bodine City,
mushroom oil town, and then whipped
northward through the oil fields. its
path marked by hurriedly quenched
fires and halted drilling operations. The
entire field was at standstill.

ties as a feature of the Mutual
shows.
I. H. Herk. head of the Mutual
circuit has Just completed a con-

b. that vaudeville agent will fur
nish two acts for each Mutual at
traction. In addition he has
agreed to recommend budding tai

The William Morris office has
some 900 acts on its books,
ranging all the way from Sir

young tap dancers ready to begin
a stage career. For the vaude-
vile background burlesque has
picked an impreSSario who knows
the variety game from every
angie. The association should be
mutually profitable, since it will
introduce new faces, something
which burlesque needs.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May l3.
When Irwin Cobb came to Holly
wood some time ago, he paid a
rare tribute to the humble prop
man of the studio. The heroes of
the movies, in Mr. Cobb's shreWd
opinion. were neither the direc-
tors, the stars, nor the execu-
tives. They we're the propmen.
IF a director makes up his
mind at 1890 that he wants an
elephant on the set by 1870" Mr..
Cobb is quoted as saying. "he
tells it to a propman. The prop
man isn't startled by the order.
He merely inquiries: Male or
female, sir, and will one be
enough?'"
