" ROM the ends of the earth
~ multltudes are converging on
ancient London and West
L minister Abbey this week to
witness the coronation of a King.
Many are from America which
supposedly thinks lightly of kings
Pand not few from Washington.
They are drawn by diverse motives.
A coronation is society" event. 1t
attracts those eager for social pres
tige. With its colorful pageantry it
Is "the greatest show on EARTH" oc-
curing only once in a generation
and with something of the same sort
of appeal as a total eclipse of the
sun. 1t is an historical event. Those
who take part in it. however far re-
moved from the actual proceedings,
feel the satisfaction of having been
identified with a major chapter in
the history of the times. They are
identified with the great.
But a coronation is more than all
these things and draws people for
profounder motives. 1t is a religious
event, mystical event. A man is
raised to superior and unique
status-symbolically at eas,S-thrnugh
this ceremony. He becomes living,
smiling, hand-shaking individual son,
husband and father like so many
millions OF others-something akin to
the intangible which in America we
designate as the state and for which
we have no very acceptable symbol.
1t Is very different, in this respect,
from an Inauguration in the United
States. Here a man takes an oath
to perform faithfully certain duties,
and there is more or less pomp and
pageantry attending his assumption
Of Office. But he remains exactly the
same sort, of man as he was before,
and at the end of eight years will be
, one Of the common herd again.
THE man who is anointed and
= crowned as King of Great Britain
and Ireland becomes. symboucally.

eagle given to the exiled st. Thomas a
Beckett by the Virgin Mary. He
pours some of the holy oil into the
worn, ancient spoon, and holds it for
the primate.
The Archbishop Of Canterbury
makes the sign of the cross with tho
Oil on the top Of the Kings head.
BE thy head anointed with holy
oil, as were the kings, priests and
prophets of old"
He makes the sign Of the cross on
the Kings breast
BE thy breast anointed with holy
OIL"
He makes the sign Of the cross on
the palms Of both hands.
BE thy hands anointed with holy
OIL"
Head, heart. hands-the trinity Of
the man. His thoughts, his motives
his acts thus forever elevated SYM
bolically from the thoughts, motives
and acts Of other men. The man
thus is mystically metamorphosed
into the King. Henceforth he stands
until he dies in a strange, solemn
loneliness-the price set of old for
those who would rule with heavens
sanction over their fellows. He has
crossed bourne over which there
is no returning, forever and forever.
SOLEMNLY the archbishop intones:
- And as Solomon was anointed
King by Zadok, the priest, and by
Nathan, the prophet, so be you
King over this people, whom tho
Lord, our God, has given you to rule
and govern. In the name OF tho
Father and Of the Son and Of the
Holy Ghost"
And then the prayer: "Our Lord
Jess Christ, tie Son OF God, who by
his Father was anointed with the
oil Of gladness above his fellows,
by his holy anointment pour down
blessings Of the Holy Ghost. and
prosper the works of your hands;
that by the assistance Of His heavenly

Contrary to the general belief the
faces are not patterned to = single

Each ventriloQuist has = different
type OF voice." Mr. Marshall said. so
each dummy has to be patterned to fit
the voice. A raspy voice takes a tough
face. A falsetto requires a juvenile
mug. There are around SO faces in
my catalogue, and I'm making up new
models" He has manufactured 90 per
cent Of the dummies used in vaude-
Vile since the war.
A year ago, when Mr.. Marshall was
taking up notch No. rs in his belt, Mr..
Bergen had finished what was likely to
be his last vaudeville engagement. He
put away Charlie Mccarthy in his
trunk and tried to remember where
he had put his dental instruments.

Great, Says Carver of

CHICAGO, September Is (N.A.N.A.)
In his workshop today Frank Mar
shall chiseled a lot of chips OF the
obnoxious visage of "Nosey" (cata-
logue No. V-6-smart effect char
acter-price $45). And he marveled
the while at what had happened to
him all because, is years ago, he
acted as assistant obstetrician, or per-
haps partial parent, at the birth Of
Charlie Mccarthy.
You know Charlie Mccarthy, the
radio person who sits on the knee of
Edgar Bergen, radio supernumerary
and one-time dentist. Edgar speaks
when Charlie talks to him. And
sometimes Edgar goes through a whole
program without speaking at all. All
OF which puzzles Mr.. Marshall, be-
cause, when Charlie was carved out
of lump of Eastwood is years ago,
1t was the other way about.
There are other woodcarvers in the
United States. but, so far as present
research reveals, only one who has
given over his life to the manufac-
ture of ventriloquial dummies. That
one is Mr.. Marshall, who once saw
the industry-the went business"
they call it in the trade-rise to such
proportions that the birthrate In his
shop was higher than that of the
State Of Rhode Island. He saw 1t
dwindle to the point where all ven-
frilOO1IiSfS Wprq talking m than
selves, and he saw Charlie McCar-
thy restore it to its normal grandeur.
Wanted Plenty Of Jaw.
Mr.. Marshall was all apprentice
carver for Theodore Mack when, on
day that nobody thought to mark

Ape Man Knows Coin.

Great interest is being displayed by
travellers in an "ape man" living at
Skoura, the Sahara region of Morocco.
Rabat reports say this weird creature
has most Of the physical character
iStics of the ape. He has no power CT
speech beyond gibberish. The Ber-
bers say that he can travel more than
so miles a day, as quickly as 4 horse.
All that civilization has taught him is
the value Of money. Coins collected
by him 90 to an old woman who has
adopted him, much to her profit.

Bergen, Lake View High echoo
student and part-time usher in = loca
theater, in search Of = dummy with
good, strong, movable jaw. Mr.
Mack did the outlining and the de-
sign. Mr.. Marshall did the chiseling
and one Of the most obnoxious faces
into being.
The delighted Mr.. Bergen chris
tened the little stranger Charlie Mack
after the brother Of the woodcarver
-rechristened him Charlie Mccarthy
when reminded of the libel laws and
started out with him on 4 strange
career.
Il don't need to tell you." said
Mr.. Marshall, that this trade was
pretty sorry when Edgar Bergen took
to the air on the Rudy Vallee pro-
gram. Until 1880 I had about all
the business I could attend to. After
that was feeding about half a dozen
vent artists at time and all I could
do from day to day was take another
notch in the belt.
Gave Many Away.
vaudeville was done and 4 ventrilo-
quist's best friend wouldn't recognize
him on the street. About 4 year
and q half ago had so many dunn
mics in stock-sll OF them staring at
me and saying nothing-that this
place looked like Hollywood direc-
-ors' meeting. I gave away most Of
hem to the kids OF the neighborhood.
Then Charlie Mccarthy began to talk.
There's no use talking about it-Edgar
Bergen put all the vent men in the
country back to work. Booking agents
are finding them in old peoples homes,
'anitariums and desert islands. They
wen dug the great Lester out of what
le used to call his grave up at Rhine
ander, Wis. He's back and he's as
rood as she ever was-which was tops
at a North Side night club. There
lren't enough ventriloquism experts
o MI half the demand-and it's still
lard to get a good dummy"
Mr.. Marshall's figures are all care
ully cut from solid blocks and pains
akingly carved by hand. Some Of

yes, leer, smile, walk, stick out their
ongues, wiggle their jaws.
