where men was men and all that

fcmcy picture, far us Washington

elegantly groomed animal with a
wild rolling t ic, a dilated nostril, a
rat tail and a roached coiffure

How does Secretary Jardinc sit

sit him like a centaur. Neither
does ho sit him like a cattleman,
rather, slouchlly, with legs at full
stretch.' He's anything but a man
and a horse. He's a man on a
liorse. He's distinctly superim
posed.. He sits In a fushlon no tan

least-fault with. He sits with his
knees hiked up in front of him un

chin against 'em when he bounces.
He sits there insecurely on that
little leather wafer, with nothing
to hung .on by, and somehow he

HOLLYWOOD. Oil. (AP)
Where are the song-slides of yes
teryear, and where are the earliest
American picture actors who posed
for these quaint, sentimental
stereoptiean views?
Most of the song-sltdes no doubt
have been thrown away long ago.
save for a few still hoarded as
souvenirs by the theater folk of a
passing generation; but as for the
"picture actors" who posed for
them, some -are just where one
might expect to find them in the
movies. . ;
. For instance, a search of the
Famous Players-l.usky lot here re
venl'Ml Tom Fortune, who whs
headlined In the nineties us a sing- ,
er of popular songs. Fortune '
claims to have been the first en-1
lerUiner to sing song-hits to the
accompaniment ' of stereoptiean
slides.
It was in 1S36, in the American
theator on Chicago's north side,
that lie was engaged to Introduce
this startling Innovation to the
playgoing public. Between the acts
of a comedy being presented at. the.
American, lie sang "After the Ball
and other compositions of the day.
The lantern slides illustrating hts
songs were, a big hit. " Soon the
making of song slides became a
small -industry.
-Fnrtuno posed- for many--slide.
Usually a slide had to be made
for -each line of the song, t: .First
one posed with one's partner for
"In this Shndo of the Old Apple
Tree," and then snapped into the
tableau for "Where the Lovo in
Your Kyes I Could See," and so
on through the simtlmcnla! Itlner
ary of the ballad.
From I his posing for song-slldps
lo acting in motion pictures was a
natural transition. When Kdlson
produced "Tho. Great Train Rob
bery." Tom Fortune .was in the
east, and by the time the song
nlide us an Institution had slipped
into oblivion, Fori u no and most of
the other song-sliders had slipped
safely Into the films... .
We read recently of an aulolst
who wrecked his car trying
avoid hitting a chicken In the
road. She must havo been a good
looker.
