"COn" Man Tells
How To FIim-Flam

Find somebody VINO wants
something for nothing and you
have a sucker, were the words of
Wilson Bell, colored, who was re-
Gently arrested for larceny by
officer Earl Stearn.
Bell a native of Virginia, with
Baltimore resident is, by his own
admission, past master in the art
of "fiim-fam", "con", and every
ether form a swindling.
Working only on colored people
and with confederate, Bell spots
his victim, preferably one leaving
a bank and proceeds as follows
"Say boy, got the time? Thanks.
Look at that man, he done found a
pocket book. Hey, come here, what
you find? 100000 in it? Lawdl
Lawdl Listen we won't tell you
found it, if you split with us; OK I?
Say, boy, how much money you
got? 1890? Well let's have it
and We'll give you a third of the
find. That's good, now wait here.
till we gets these big bills
changed;" and the victim waits.
Bell, with only 4th grade edu-
cation has been smart enough to
make fairly good living at this,
yet he says "You can't beat the
law, and the Rockville jail is the
cleanest and incest he's ever been
in.

X Disecting a Comedian

X Orson in Tough Spot
BY Virginia Vale

IF YOU'RE interested in
4 taking a comedian apart
and seeing what makes him
funny on the screen, consider
StanLaurel s shoes. Ofcourse,
shoes have always been an
important part of a come
dams wardrobe = Charlie
Chaplin's, for instance-but
Laurel makes use of them in
such a way that the audience
isn't conscious of the part
they play.
The shoes he wears when making
pictures have no heels-that's all
there is to it. They give him that
strange, rolling gait, and you laugh
at the way he walks without know
ing why. They also help in giving
him the woe-begone appearance that
contributes so much to his perform
ances.
Watch him in his latest picture,
"A Chump at Oxford" and you'll
realize how much those trick shoes
do for him.
