ball out in the game between the
Senators and Red Sox. There
are also shots of the actual play

Another interesting local shot
is that of Richard Whitney,
president of the New York Stock
Exchange, being welcomed to
Washington by Senator Walcott
of Connecticut.
An interesting feature of these

made during the night and the
finished films rushed back to

weeks ago-you used an entire
column composed of dialogue
between your secretary, Mr..
James Burbridge, and yourself.
In this article, you referred to
your secretary as Mr.. Bur-
bridge. And, in parenthesis,
you explained that you always
addressed him that way while
he calls you by your first name.
In one Of last weeks col
umns, you wrote of taking a
vacation. Your secretary sug-
gested that you go to Quebec
and you printed your reply as
follows:
"Good idea, Jimmy I as
sured him. I think I'll take
your advice
please explain, if you don't
mind, how you happened to
start calling him by his first
name when you have always re-
ferred to him as Mr.. Bur
bridge"
Simplest thing in the world,
Mr.. Doyle. All his life my
secretary had been saving his
money. Between my first story
and my second he was handed

Dear Mark" writes Her

school jokes Of all time. If
not, so what?
"The teacher asked the class
to write a composition on the
subject: What I would do if
had $50,000.' She told her
pupils to consider the subject
carefully, to write it slowly and
with thought, and to hand
their papers IN the following
morning.
THE proper time arrived and
the students efforts were col
lected. One boy, however, sat
idly by and watched. And when
it came his turn he handed up
a sheet of blank paper.
What does this mean?
growled the teacher. Where is
your composition?'
THE youth shrugged his
Shouldres.

Experiences S oE
An Autograph
Hunter
By HARRISON CARROLL

Copyright, 1S32, King Features Syndicate
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April 13.
Hollywood's star autograph hunter
is a studious looking young man
who wears glasses and who works
in a local bank. His name is
Maurise Neel and during the last
two and a half years he has col
lected 900 signatures of screen
and stage celebrities.
For months I have been seeing
him outside the theater at first
nights. Not long ago he wrote to
me and I invited him to show me
his priced volume Of autographs.
Young Mr.. Neel works at his
hobby seriously. He haunts the
big film premieres, first nights at
the legitimate theaters, the fights,
musical and dance recitals, the
Mayfair Club dances, stage doors,
anywhere he may contact a star.
Recently, he was outside the Bllt-
more Theater every night during
the run of Al Jolson's wonder
Bar" And for his pains in this
case, he got only two new auto
graphs.
He'll tell you that Greta Carlo
is considered the catch Of them
all, and that she has steadfastly
refused to sign her name. Fol
lowing her long strides into the
Kreutzberg dance recital the other
night, he caught up with her end

mo, I can't" said Carlo, "the
people,"
This persistent young man re.
ports that, on another occasion
he and 8 other enthusiasts, piled
into two cars, beat Garbo home
and waited in ambush at her gate
When her car drove up, they all
popped out, but the alarmed
chauffeur sped safely into the
driveway. To this day, Garbo may
believe they narrowly escaped g
holdup.
He'll also tell you that viii
Rogers, Noah Beery, and recently
Lewis Stone, refuse autographs
while Joan Crawford and CLARK
Gable are always obliging. Lione
Barrymore is rated as tough, but
not impossible. The newer play
ers, of course, are always easy.
Openings of the legitimate the
ater, he reports, are the best hunt
ing grounds. There are less crowds
and fewer cops. On the afternoon
that I talked to him, he was plan
ming to pass up the premiere Of
a Douglass Fairbanks, jr., picture
in favor of the Paderewski recital
Mr.. Neel says that there are only
two other autograph hunters who
have been at the game as long as
he. I find he talks more glibly OF
pictures and players than I do
And I have his indignant denial
that he would part with his vol
ume of signatures for any sum OF
money. He loves the game for its
own sake. I think, perhaps, he is
the outstanding fan in Los An
geleS.
