 But Johnny was seeing red, You may say he was color blind But most folks say he's dead. Billy Brown was 8 motorist Who ignored the stop and go, On the up and up for speeding But his visibility was low. One day doing almost sixty A circle of rotaries he shattered, Billy and car were picked up later Very much battered. She just moped along
 Did little Mary Mack, She might as well be driving A square old-fashioned hack. She mooched along regardless Of each footing raucous horn, Mary's up for reckless non-speeding, And is that gal forlorn!

I Tor the Job.
The brothers turned their 90 acre
film factory inside out, dressed II
with African eannioals and bathing
beauties, shot fake movie scenes
hour after hour. and otherwise en-
tertained the American Legion as
perhaps it never has been enter
tanned before.
The proceedings. which were in
terrupted by a bombardment of the
police department with pie outside
the studio gates and which includ-
&c sights no Hollywood visitors ever
saw before, left the legionnaires
with topSy-turvy memories today of
how movies are made. They didn't
know it, but everything they saw
was staged solely for their benefit
There wasn't scrap of film in
any of the cameras which were
focused on scenes the Warmers
never intended to turn into movies.
Transporting the $4,000 legion
naireS and their wives TO suburban
Burbank, where the studio sprawls
at the foot of Mt. Warner, was a
task comparable to the moving of
every inhabitant of Elmira. N. Y.
Il took the combined efforts of the
Pacific Electric Company, 200 buses
operating in Shuttles, $500 private
automobiles, and $50 police to do it.
The job was peculiarly hard on the
law. Several bus loads of legion
naires, stalled in the broiling sun
while they waited for the process
sion to start, pelted the officers
with apple pies. They couldn't get
custard, otherwise the scene was
duplicate of those which Mack
Sennett's Keystone Kops made IA
nous 20 years ago.

Pauline Frederick
Dies Suddenly

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 20. (UP)-
A private funeral in accordance
with her own wishes was being pre-
pared today for Pauline Frederick,
oldtime star of Broadway and the
films.
Miss Frederick died at her aunt's
home in Beverly Hills late yester-
day of an asthmatic attack. She was
SO years old.
For the past two years the ac-
tress' illness had prevented her from
taking more than an occasional film
role, in which she usually played
a mother part. Last Friday she
suffered an acute asthmatic attack
but apparently was recovering un-
til the sudden relapse came late
yesterday.

little nearer the floorboard than on
