and Elliott Roosevelt and John
Boettiger, the Presidents son-in-
law.
Each in turn sang about the
farmer" his two sons and the SON.
in-law:
''Now Jimmy to the movies went
And Elliott on the air,
And John became a publisher
A combination rare.
Tor all three ways of spreading
news
And much publicity,
Were gathered to the bosom of
One happy family"
The trio related in song their
recent disagreement over the presi-
Dental candidacy of Garner and the
third term. but agreed that Our
Hearts Belong to Daddy:
Were much too fond of happy
days
For us to disagree.
The New Deal still is good enough
For me
And me-
And me.
I'm movies, press and radio
We will not let 1t drop
We are the Roosevelt mus
keteers,
One for all-and all for Pop"
Green-Lewis Skit.
The Gridiron Club leveled it's satire
at the attempts of William Green
and John L. Lewis to effect a labor
peace. The A. F. of L. president,
labeled the Grand Duke of Coshoc-
ton, and the c. I. o. president as
the Earl of Alexandria, enter the
stage surrounded by their senatorial
fiunkies, after making their way
through a hotel picket line. They
gather to arrange peace and Ito
consider the fate of the American
workingman."
Green: Nov, John, no double
crossing. We got to stick together
in order to stay apart. If we let
any one bring us together we're
sunk-you and me-"
Lewis: Yes, Bill. This thing
can get serious. The laboring people
are getting restless"
Green: MY footman asked me this
very morning for a vertical increase. "
Lewis: Shocking. The chauffeur
of my second car wants 5-day hori-
zontal week. It's an outrage"
The parley is interrupted by the
hotel pickets breaking into the room,
who claim they are organized labor.
Frank Murphy, policeman, is sum-
moned to eject the pickets, which he
does with the apologize statement it
is the first time Il ever elected any
Of them"
Appeasement.
The Business Appeasement" skit
depicted the efforts of the admin
istration, from King Arthur to the
knights of the round table, and the
wizards of the New Deal to prevent
the death of the Dragon (business)
before the 1910 elections. The
dragon is slumped on the stage dur
ing the colloquy, covered with ban
dageS:
John of Hanes: "Sir Henry lie
Morgue, fear we have beaten this
old dragon, Business, until he's all in.
1t looks like he's going to die on u.s. %
Morgue: "Yes, Sir John of Hanes.
That's what have been telling King
Arthur. But it doesn't seem to
bother him bit. He just smiles"
Hanes: Hes spent six years trying
to kill that dragon. Just between
ourselves, even the common people
are getting fed up with this abuse of
poor business. (He pats the dragon
who emits wheeze).'
Henry LIE MOrgue suggests ap-
peasement as the cure for the dragon,
Business. Hanes complains that
King Arthur listens to those crack
pot wizards, Eccles the Echo, Tommy
the Cork and Benny the Cone"
These desire to kill the dragon i'm
mediately. The suggestion is made
by Morgue that the dragon be given
appeasement, which Hanes inter-
prets to mean giving "the con-
demned man a hearty breakfast"
The Wizards Waltz.
AS the Marine Band, which plaved
through the dinner, struck up the
wizards Waltz" the wizard sang:
What we want is harmony,
Can't you understand?
We will all cooperate and
Keep the upper hand.
What we want is confidence.
Breathing spells and such:
Let the corporations grow a
Little-not too much"
King Arthur finally decides the
Dragon must be kept alive through
1910: "All right you knights look
after him and you wizards let him
alone" But as the Dragon perks
up the King gives him a wallop-
lust so you won't forget me-"
In the opening skit the Gridiron
