A crazy man imitated Charley Chaplin so
cleverly in a Kentucky theatre that the audience
thought he was the real Charley. We see no
reason why any insane man, with enough brains
left to know how to fall down, could not do the
same.
Once there were giants in the land, men who could
scrap to bent the band. In modern times the cheapest
skates are known as champeen heavyweights, but long
ago, when Jim was young, men didn't fight with jaw
or lung, but used their fists, and
used them well brave days of
Jackson and John L.l They
slugged away, while they could
stand, when there were giants
in the land. And Corbett won
his laurels then, among those
mighty fighting men. He was
the champion when that meant
something inoie tlutn getting fat,
and standing, in a graceful pose,
to figure in the movie shows.
He's an authority on sport, and
his decrees the wise ones court.
He's an authority on smokes, and
as his trusty pipe ho stokes, he
often says, "Tuxedo's best; it
has the edge on all the rest."
