This Pat Henning, recently of
vaudeville and now of the movies,
is quite a guy. Does the screWiest
things. Like initiating dogs and
protoplasm and doing "one tone"
impressions of film stars
We must tell you what happened
in Milwaukee before we tell you
about Pat and how he landed in
the movies. Pat, it seems, was
being interviewed By our drama
editor friend, Buck Herzog, in a
dressing room at the Warfield
theater Pat was telling Buck about
his high driving ability. That he
had once jumped lao feet. Buck
refused to believe it.
So Pat Henning jumped right
out of the window into the river
four stories below, and they had to
revive the drama editor.
In vaudeville Pat is known as
one-man show Could do anything
Sing, dance. wise crack, juggle, ride
a unicycle, walk a wire. Seventy
six different routineS, to be exact
He's been in vaudeville all his life,
which is "a years. Made his stage
debut at months in baby car
riace. Learned to do hand stands
before he learned 10 walk. His
parents were vaudeville stars, and
so were his grandparents.
RIOTOUS ROUTINE
After "a years Hollywood finally
caught up with Pat Henning. Pat
is in the movies new because Pro-
ducer Andrew Stone was bored
with a play he was seeing in New
York. Stone left after the second
act and with nothing else to do he
went TO the Paramount theater
nearby.
Fat was on stage killing the
people with satrical impressions of
how dogs act at a dog show. AS an
English bull, 1Cr example, Pat stuck
out his chin, barred his teeth and
walked around on the stage on all
fouIS.
Producer Andrew Stone started
to laugh and before Pat had fin
ished with the dogs Stone mentally
was drawing up a film contract.
And row. announced Pat, I'D
like to do an impression of the
leopard in Dorothy Lamour's last
picture. Remember that scene in
which Dorothy returned to the
jungle after three years and the
leopard met her" Pat let his
tongue hang Imply from his
mouth, and said: Your tongue
would be hanging out too if you
hadn't seen Dorothy Lamour for
three years"
Pat signed a film contract with
Producer Stone the next day for a
! featured role with Eleanor Powell

probably remember them, antima-
CAESARS where those fringed and
coocheted tides pinned to the backs
and arms of your grandmothers
sofas and chairs, which now have
been streamlined and brought into

Whether you have brand new

several years of service and show
it, antimacassars will give them the
protection and perking up they
need.

These protectors are easy to make
once you have learned the import
ance of taking accurate measure
ments and doing faithful job of
pin fitting. Be especially careful to
make the corners sharp and smooth.
To give the covers the look of Gus
tom made pieces finish with moss
fringe or contrasting binding. And
whether you make them of odd
pieces from your rag bag or buy
new fabric for them remember that
the slip covers will be laundered
frequently and select only those
materials which are sturdy, pre-
Shrunk and color fast.
