It was in April z, 1945. when

"Hatches were blown closed

Horton still paints signs. The

His speciality, though. Is be-
ing hurled out of the mouth of
that cannon. a 38.000-pound
monster built at a cost of $20,-
900 at an iron and steel works
In Baltimore. Horton designed
the cannon, but tine idea origi-
mated with Teter and Irish Ho-
ran, the show producer. Teter
never saw the cannon operate.
He was killed making a ramp

Koran, who for the past %
years has called the famed

start in the car-show business
with auto polo, a game unknown
by the younger generation but
quite popular 80 years ago. 1t

The hoops made it unnecessary
to turn the car around. One

When steel bodies first came
into existence, Koran and Tetel
were called on by an automobile
firm to demonstrate them al
the Chicago World Fair in 1888
Since then Koran has been
producing or publicizing shows
of one kind or another, though
his trips to Washington have
been infrequent. The last time

Koran fancies himself as
something special in the produc-
ing line, not without foundation.
We've had 10000 musical COM
edies." he points out, ''but only
one Ziegfeld. I like to think of
myself as that kind of producer.
What made Ziegfeld so good?
He had the best singers. best
dancers and best actors. but he
also had his class and there was
no one like him."
And Koran says he has the
talent in daredevil drivers, stunt
men. comedians. you have to
have an outstanding stunt" he
says frankly, land that's what
that cannon thing is, an out
standing stunt.
There's only one thing about
that cannon" he adds. There's
only an inch clearance on either
side. There's no room for mis-
takes"
