Beverly Hills-Well all know is
just what read in the papers, and
what see hither and thither. Was
in New York here not long ago, and
l rang up 0. 0. McIntire. Anon G..
Carter (the man who unconsciously
elected "Ma" Furgeson governor of
Texas well, Anon was in New
York at the time kinder lodging his
own papers editorials, so we visit
ed o. o. McIntire. I hadent seen
him in long time, and I had
heard he was kinder feeble and
grouchy, and was doing we'll
enough to have the govt aling with
it, so for old times sake I thought
I would see if he was still living.
My acquaintance with him went
back to the Zeigfeld midnight frolic
days, when he was our press agent.
All a press agent had to do for Mr..
zeigfeld was to see that the war
got on the front page along with
Mr.. zeigfeld's girls.
Well Odd, Chats his name Odd,
Odd. Both O's stand fol Odd. He
was odd enough to stand for an
other o at birth. But his folks not
knowing that he would get odder
as he got older, thought double Odd
would be enough to start on. He
comes from away out in Ohio. You
see Ohio has two O's in it too.
When Odd was born out in Ohio
their alphabet dident consist of
much else but O's. So when they
give a child an initial it had to have
an o in it. He was born at town
called Golopolois, Ohio. So you see
those Ohioans do the best they can
on what O's they got. He left there
with the first Ford and never gets
back there much. You see when
first met him I was just a boy work
ing in the chorus of Zeigfeld's show.
But lets get down to some mod
ern data. I was in New York on
my way from South America and l
had heard so much about the Odd
Odd McIntire's apartment. Its one
of the show places of New York,
and it's located on Park Avenue,
which is the fashionable street this
year. Well he is away up in the top
of one of those. Its where you can
own your own apartment, even if
it's in with a lot of others. His
deed calls for apartment So, located
345 feet straight up from where the
ground would be on Park Avenue
if there was any dirt on it.
Well I looked up a sightseeing
tour place and got a ticket to go
through his apartment. There is
certain days of the week and GER
tain hours that you can go
through.
Mind you, he don't get any money
out of this. It's a. kind OF charity
fund that goes to men who want
pearl crap spats but can buy EN-,
but the whole thing is jut a darn
liberal and fine thing of Odds to let
people see him at work and at play,
and see his Modest Little Home.
There is a lecturer goes with you,
and he points out everything and
introduces you to Odd, and Odd is
mighty gracious and nice to every
body the same as he is nice and
considerate to everyone in his
writings. Old Anon Carter was
gaping around over the place trying
to peek into everything while the
guide wasent looking. He kept try
ing to find at which room Odds
property stopped and Vanderbilts
started.
There was a series of glass
tonned tables, and desks, with
nothing under EN-, just kind OF
skeleton frame of silver and the
glass all over it. No drawers or any.
thing only just the glass top. II
was built too look for things under
a collar button anywhere under l,
would show up like spitoon. Ev'
erything looked awful clean, and II
good taste.
Odd asked Anon and to stay
after the other tourists had gone
SO we sit there for awhile anc
talked about old times, when PEG
nile wasent ashamed to say they
was Republicans. He Is the mos
widely read written on New York OF
anywhere else in the u. s. He has
got more clothes, and more diff
ferent words than any writer writ
ing outside Of a book. He has suit!
for every sentence.
He is not a critic, so he can SCI
the last act. He's got a Rolls Royce
car and he delivers all the higf
brow writer's to their home to Civ
EN- a treat from the subway. an
sure glad I went. I think its Tues
