looked like roadS-and the car
finally came to rest in soft
sand. The harder I tried to
get out, the deeper went the
car. After some 80 minutes Of
impolite swearing, we came to
the conclusion that we'd never
get out without help. So my
friend decided to walk for help
while I remained with the car.
HE was gone for what
seemed to be an eternity. The
flies and mosquitoes were un-
bearable. It was more than
two miles to the nearest farm
house. and by the time he re-
turned, my face was swollen to
twice its normal size.
my pal came back with a
farmer and a horse that
looked as though he had served
in the civil war. The farmer
took one look at the machine,
said he thought it would take
all night to move it and sug-
gested that we go to his house
and get some sleep. Anything
to get away from these flies.
So my friend and I walked the
two miles to the farm.
There was but one extra
bed in the joint, and we
crawled into it. 1t was then
around 4 o'clock and I figured
that four hours sleep would be
a godSend. was just doing
off when both my friend and
myself discovered that the bed
was full of bugs. So we got
up again, dressed and waited
for the dawn.
So He's Grateful
"It finally arrived and the
farmers wife served us with
breakfast. At 8 o'clock the
farmer was back with good
news. After working all night
and breaking his harness, he
had managed to get the car
out of the sand. We asked him
what he owed him for his
nights labor, his bed and break
fast. He told us that $6 was
a fair figure.
Flo smiled.
MY pal and I walked to our
car-and drove right back to
Atlantic City. In spite Of the
fact that he lived in a terrible
dump that farmer had been a
nice guy. On the outskirts of
Atlantic City I stopped in and
bought him a new harness with
all kinds Of brass trimmings.
An hour later, absolutely ex-
hausted, we tumbled into bed.
1.-TWO days later I received a
letter from the farmer. You
never read such an apprecia-
tive letter in all your life. He
thanked me from the bottom of
his hear and then some. And
how do you suppose he wound

Six more air-plane crashes and
then retire.
This is the plan of Dick Grace,
Hollywood premiere stunt aviator
and a man with more lives than
a cat. Grace has survived "a de-
liberate film accidents. In more
than IS per cent of them, he has
been knocked unconscious and
injured. Sometimes, it was only
a broken arm, leg or rib. But
once it was a fractured skull and
again a broken neck.
AS I already have reported in
these columns. the daredevil
aviator plans to plunge an air
plane into the sea-his most dan
gerouS crackup yet-for one of
the big thrills in "The Lost
Squadron" his own story that is
being made into a talkie by
R-K-O.
Ominous indeed are the provi-
sions of Grace's contract with
R-K.O. First. they must guaran-
tee to supply a corps Of police
men to clear the area of the
crash, also to pull him from his
cockpit in case he is unconscious
and unable to extricate himself L.
Then they must have a doctor
and an ambulance, fully equipped
for an emergency operation.
Lastly, they must have a strong
Stimulant to steady his nerves
in case he ism; knocked out.
The price Grace asks for each
stunt is $2,500, dirt cheap con-
sidering the risk.

I've just been introduced to Miss
Ethel Barrymore Colt. who is
making her debut on the musi-
cal comedy stage as a member
of the Scandals troupe. Miss
Colt, who is Ethel'S daughter
and prominent socially, is in
the company of Irving Caesar,
who is Mr.. Caesars son and
prominent naSally.
Miss Colt seems to be a
charming young lady, but,
while 1 regret to say so, I think
that her mother is making q
mistake in permitting her to
appear in a large revue. A
musical show may be q fine
place to develop-but not dra-
matically. The few things she
does in the Scandals, she does
rather badly. I'd advise her to
step out before the critics hand
her the kind of pans that
mother used to make.

cred a new gag. He calls it the

Whereupon the lawyer will
launch into a recital Of the
many things he must keep to
himself and how he could
shake New York if he didn't
keep his mouth closed. Caesar
eggs him. on with a serious
expression while the listeners
who are in, on the gag shake
with laughter.
Merely to prove how simple
it is, Irving just took me to the
doorman of one Of the largest
of the boardwalk hotels. After
striking up a conversation with
him, he plunged into the gag.
Funny, how you fellows are
under-rated," he chirped
solemnly. People think your
