TARTAN ROLE OFFERED
REDWOOD BOY AFTER
SCREEN TESTS

Redwood Falls kids probably
don't know it but they have a
future ''Tarzan" right in their
midst.
Ward Cuff, Marquette univer-
slty star athlete, came to Red
wood Falls Tuesday morning to
visit his mother, Mrs. Mathilda
Cuff and other relatives until
Saturday when he will return to
Milwaukee.
Executives of the Paramount
studios in Hollywood where he
took screen tests during a stay
from June ii to June 20 told him
he will make an excellent Tarzan
and that a contract will be await
ing him whenever he cares to
sign.
Cuff said they didn't force him
to don leopard skin but let him
display his famous muscles in
bathing shorts during the tests.
He didn't have to emit standard
Tarzan yell, either, but used his
regular speaking voice which re-
gistered well on the sound tracks.
While in Hollywood he stayed
at the home of Pat O'Brien, a
Marquette graduate, who he des-
cribes as a regular fellow" He
spent most of his time with Ro-
man Tomlin, a brother of Pinkey
Tomlin, radio and screen singer
and song writer. Roman writes
gags for Bob Burns, comedian.
Cuff says he will defer serious
consideration of the offer to sue
coed Weismuller and other athle-
ties as 'Tarzan" in Hollywood UNI
til he has completed a season
with the New York Giants, pro-
fessional football team and grad
uated from Marquette. He has
one semester to finish at the Mil
waukee school and expects to at
tend the 1888 spring session.
He will play his first game with
the Giants against the AIl-Stars
in New York City September 8
at either fullback or halfback
position. The Giants have 10
games scheduled and Cuff says he
will make ga little better" than
$3.50 game.

City Attorney is
One Buck Out and
One-Up on JOkers

Leon H. Brown. Redwood Falls
city, attorney, set the perfect ex-
ample for illegal parkers in the
city by signing complaint
against himself for the infraction
Monday. He went farther. He
prosecuted himself before Judge
T. F. Reed Jr., entered a plea of
guilty and paid a fine of 81 and
costs.
Browns car caused quite a stir
on Second street Monday morning
when it was parked diagonal to
the street in front of the National
holding company building where
parallel parking is the rule.
Practical jokers armed with
cameras rushed to the scene, call
ed councilmen in relays and
formed grinning gauntlet for
the machine when Brown finally
remembered it and removed it.
Only statement Brown would
make after the rigors of his trial
was that his action proved Red
wood Falls city officials are ultra
impartial.
