Among dealers Paine has q repu-

He rarely lacks q market when his

it is time to find q new home for q

while slithering about for exercise at
night.

under the big top, but he always
wanders back to the side show where
the lady snake charmer Is holding
forth.
One of the scientists earliest recol-
lections is q carnival back in the
little South Carolina town where he
was born. Quite vividly, he recalls
the pythons which coiled their SYM
metrical bodies about the arm Of the
lady snake charmer. The impression
pointed him toward his future work.
Earlier, he had collected worms and
kept them in hidden places while his
companions dug for them as bait and
went OF to feed them to the fish.
Paine's mother and father did their
best to discourage this habit, but in
vain.

ticular aptitude Just before shedding.
Paine, in his years Of experience, has
had no difficulty in conflning the
snakes to their appointed places. Not
one has escaped in Is years.
I'll admit that some Of the
pythons and boas could break the
glass in their cages" said Paine, but
they never do. think they're too
stupid to know their own strength.
Just as q horse can be tethered by q
string, an 18-foot python will accept
the limits Of flin1sy confinement he
could burst with little effort"
Paine's fascination for snakes dates
from his earliest recollections. He
thinks this interest is widely shared
in city and in country, largely due
to the mystery which attaches to the
unknown. The snake IS an important
part Of superstition and legend.
Snake stories are as easily exsgger-
ated as fsh stories. Paine thinks
the snakes get the worst Of this state
Of affairs. They have never been able
to live down their evil reputation.
DAME attends every circus. carni-
val or vaudeville which includes
snakes among its attractions. This
habit Of circus going has extended

convinced that tine Indian fakirs who
are supposed to charm cobras with
music accomplish the effect in quite
a different manner.
LAS I understand it." he said "the
charmer is supplied with a fairly long
musical reed. Now the cobra has q
comparatively short striking distance
When alarmed, this snake raises it
body to q considerable height. The
cobra swings near before striking The
charmer sways the reed and the
cobras rhythm is due to this motion
rather than to the music.
THE snake may take a long while
to get set for striking. If he does
strike. he hits at the reed, and the
chances are his fangs already have
been extracted"
Paine approached the subject of his
distressing experience with . WY
smile. He explained that his wife
never cared for snakes, although h.
mas been raising them, some to 9
length Of 10 feet, In his home ''worl
shop" for years.

Paine made his own choice and today
he Is still raising snakes.
The incident was merely amusing tt
the enthusiast, and. since his wifi
learned OF 1t after his wounds hat
healed, he was quite frank about tn,
whole thing.
On that evening"" he said, "m,

another errand. I wanted to get {

without any Of the ladies being the
wiser. The boa was In glass-fronted
cage. I set the rabbit In his box on
the floor and opened the case. The
snake was sluggish and I reached an
arm in to jog him as had done many
times before.
INSTEAD Of sliding through the
door the boa threw q coil about
my arm. He held my arm bent Of
the elbow and sank his teeth into my
wrist where the short sleeve showed
an opening. The boa has four rows
Of fangs on the upper and two on the
lower jaw. His bite is nom n-poisonous
but rather painful. As pulled the
snake from his cage another coil cir
cled my second arm. He had me
pretty tight. found couldn't
move my arm.
".The wrist was bleeding, but the
boa, I'm happy to say. did not try to
chew. He contented himself with
hanging on.
II had my pipe in my mouth and
tried to gas the fellow with tobacco
smoke. It had no effect. I'll con-
fess that for a moment I was about
to drop the pipe from my mouth and
shout for my wife.
Then remembered the rabbit in
his box on the floor. I sank down
toward the box and after q bit the
snakes coils began to loosen their
grip on my right arm. In another
second he had opened his jaws and
glided of toward the rabbit. 7 am
convinced the snake did not mean to
attack me. but merely smelled the
rabbit and bit me by mistake when
I jostled him.
II was large order. however, and
he was accustomed to small fry.
When he sensed the more edible
rabbit. he simply turned in that di-
rection. slipped out and doctored
my arm at the medicine cabinet
changed shirts and came downstairs
| to dinner as usual None Of the
ladies suspected anything. After din
ner brought out the boa and showed
him of for the company.
"The next day I took the blood
stained shirt to work with me and
threw it into the Potomac. The
needle-point wounds healed readily
enough. but I never told my wife
about the incident until the last scar
had vanished"
Paine never treats with poisonous
snakes, or with that cannibal Of the
reptile world, the king snake. He
prefers pythons and boa constructors
because they develop rapidly, possess
a fair order Of intelligence as snakes
go, are easily tanned and have beau.
tifully marked skins.

Lewis treated Gordon to q 25-cent

not to interrupt when Lewis sang an

The time Noel Coward came to this
country. All the managers went down
to the boat to greet him. None Of
them had enough courage to ask Cow
ard for the privilege Of producing his
play. At the hotel, the room full Of
New York's managers. the phone rang.
It was Gordon asking for permission
to produce his show. Max, you are
the first one to ask me, and you shall
do it, The show was Design for

tame and Noel Coward, and did
million dollar business.

were preparing for vaudeville. Mr..
ONeill needed the money. as he would
like to get married.
The night when Gordon, scouting
for talent. watched young English
actor deliver monologue in an
obscure vaudeville theater. Gordon
decided that he had the makings Of
great pantomimist, but thought his
monologue wasn't funny at all. The
vaudevillian's name was, and still is.
Charlie Chaplin.
He likes to remember too. the peo-
pie that have worked in his shows,

hits have been such outstanding pro-

Today Max Gordon calmly surveys
the scene from the ninth floor Of the
New Amsterdam Theater Building,
where his Offices have been for years.
The office is simply furnished. 1t

On his wall are pictures Of his brother.

In one panel is picture frame. There
is no picture in it. but piece of paper
on which is written:
