FERDINAND AND SID-THE
BULL AND THE MATADOR

rENDANAND AND S1D-THE
BULL AND THE MATADOR
The last we heard of him Sid
ney Franklin, the Brooklyn boy
turned matadOr, was cOralling the
Cuban financierS to back him in
erecting a huge cOrrida down Ha-
vana way. A cOrrida, you surely
remember, is the place where they
toss the bull. Well, the cOrrida
was built but the Cuban pOpulace
proved more interested in batting
averages than in bull throwing
and money the fans should have
spent on Franklin and his picadOr
circus they poured into the Golfers
Of the Cuban baseball magnates.
Result, Franklin came back to
Brooklyn.
The other day we met him in
Frank Bucks jungleland at the
New York Worlds Fair. He was
gazing at a gargantuan Indian
elephant with sort of wistful
look in his eye. Imagine" said
the most popular matador in AM
erica, they allow every Tom, Dick
and Harry to tease these elephants
and they won't allow me to make
the bulls happy"
Sid was very respondent. He
had conceived elaborate plans for
a cOrrida at the Fair in the shad-
OW of the Perisphere. Maestro
Grover Whalen was enthusiastic
over the idea of such a cOlOrful
spectacle with picadOrs, bandar-
ilIerOS, capeS, swords and bulls.
But the A. S. p. G. A. had kayOed
the idea. Bulls were in the class
of Ferdinand and were meant to
smell flowers under cork trees.
Sid swOre ON a stack of bibles
that his bulI-thrOwing circus
would be a harmless one. No
bull would be killed merely
tickIed and according to the
Jewish lad there's nothing the
bulls like better. But again the
A. S. p. C. A. said nix.
And so the lad won his "C'' at
Morningside heights, who was dis
covered in Mexico and idolized in
Spain, is heading for San Francis
cos Treasure Island Fair. There
the A. S. p. c. A. will not trouble
his bull-tossing antics.
Incidentally, to those of you who
have never seen a bull fight and
to whom this entire story sounds
like bull-pIease remember that
Franklin is the only matadOr in
the world to have made the grand
circuit-MeXicO, South America,
Cuba, Spain and Southern France
at $4,000 a performance. And
$40, 900 is a lot of bull in any Ian
guage.
And so we left Franklin still
gazing wistfully at Frank Bucks
elephant. Looking at this short,
tanned, slim figure you would
hardly believe that he could eX-
ecute the traditional maneuvres of
the corrida with such faultless
purity that he is rated tops in his
business. Yet, even as you and I,
he turned green the first time he
saw a bull gored down below the
Rio Grande. He promised to send
us a postcard of his corrida at
Treasure Island.
