His Next Movie.
XXTERE starting a new picture, and
w l am teamed up with Slim Sum-
merville, 6 feet 6 of pure comedy, and
little Jane Withers-for her age, the
greatest scene-stealer in the business.
It's as though Little Boy Blue were
eandwiched in between Jesse James
and Calamity Jane. Well, as go
down for the third time I'll still be
gurgling feebly, so give me credit,
please, as an earnest gurgler.
They call our picture "Public MUS
ance Number l." but movie is like
an Indian-starts out with a name and
winds up with anyone of halfdozen.
! once knew Blackfoot who was first
one thing, then another, and the best
he could do for himself in his old age
was to be known as Chief Many Tail
Feathers Going Over the Hill.
Franks Of Zioncheck
THE papers seemed so barren-not
Il single front page story about
Representative Zioncheck, Washing
toms No. Boy Scout. Life, indeed,
is empty on day whose low descend
ing sun sees no gay deed done, no
headline won by the nations official
problem child.
He may have started off at the foot
Of the ladder, alphabetically speaking,
but his startled constituents can't COM
plain that the gallant lad stayed there.
Either he's getting pinched or getting
Jailed or getting married or getting his
pen in hand to tell the President how
to run the country, or getting ready to
polish off some fellow-statesman of the
house, or just getting about.
And hasn't he put the throbbing
pulse into the Congressional Record?
1t reads now sometimes as the old
Police Gazette used to.
Rules for olympies.
A 8 understand it-and somebody
n correct me, please, if I'm wrong
the rules for the Forthcoming Olympic
Games in Berlin have been so revised
that 1t will be quite all right for any
of our Jewish athletes to take part
just so they don't win.

may happen when the American team
turns up over there with whole batch
of negro foot-racers in the outfit. It's
going to be awfully hard to convince
a Prussian crowd that they're merely
ium-to-well-done Nordic- Caucasian
stock Drowned in the pan, so to speak.
1t so happens that our fastest run
ners are all colored boys. Perhaps it's
just as well. They may have to keep

Its latest whimsical notion was to set
tie in both ears, and now should 1t
thunder, rare occurrence out here,
In order for me to get the benefit of
the phenomenon, it'll have to thunder
again-and louder. However, being
temporarily deaf has its advantages
I don't hear the dull things other peO-
pie say, but can still enjoy the bright
things say myself.
As will be noted, I'm back from
Palm Springs, where l cooked in the
desert sunshine until all needed to do
before being served was to drape a
sprig of watercress across my brow
and thicken the gravy with little
brown flour. Driving in, kept tying
up the traffic; so many motorists mis-
took my face for stop signal.
Should I relapse I'm going to try to
throw myself into the epizootic. That's
a horse disease, but I've been as sick
as a horse and had to be as strong as
a horse to live through it-and, any
how, know a good horse doctor.
