OREGON COWGIRL WANTS NEW YORK JOCKEY LICENSE Leono Trickey, Described as "Cheyenne Model of Flapper," Also to Claim Trophy Won at Wyoming' Round-up. 2y7cr yrjr u5r cyAr ??jr Oj ' BT ELIZABETH LONERGAN. NEW YORK, July 15. (Special.) The dullest time of the sea son is here right now and it depends entirely upon the weather whether or not the state of affairs will continue for several weeks. Last week, after the closing of a number of shows. It was surprising how few tickets could be -bought at the agencies or In the cut-rate offices. This was due to the pre valence of thunder storms which made the beaches unbearable and drove the crowds into the theaters. A manager of ,a two-year success, who. closed his theater a week or two ago, has been bewailing the (fact ever since. In. dollars and cens his loss run into five, figures, all because he did not know that cool "weather was coming! Eddie Cantor is closing in order to get the vacation due him from the Shuberts. At least Eddie says he needs one and it is in his con tract, and anyhow he is tired.' An entirely different reason has caused Ed Wynn to abandon "A Perfect Fool," and one with which, the -public Is at present unfamiliar. Prob ably after his show moves out of the George Oohan theater the story will became public property. It seems that a few weeks ago Ed Wynn hurt his foot quite badly. It bag been possible for him to go on with his part, with the offending member carefully strapped, but the doctors advised absolute rest before starting on that cross-country tour, And so Mr. Wynn will have six weeks to get in shape and will open in Atlantic City, play Philadelphia, Chicago and points west. He is most anxious to visit the northwest asain, because it was on the Or jnoum tour , that he met his bride. Hilda Keenan, and each city from Tacoma to Los Angles has pleasant memories of the early days of their meeting. Frank Keenan had his daughter playing In. his sketch, but was very insistent that she have (nothing to do with any of the actors on the bill. This worked until she met Ed Wynn, who was doing a isingle on the same bill. According to a story the title "A Perfect Fool" owes its Inspiration- to this same trip. In San' Francisco, after Beveral weeks of Wynn's constant presence Mr. Keenan remarked that Ed was a fool. "Yes. perhaps, father dear," ventured Hilda, "but , such the perfectly . good, perfectly enor mous ring that Wynn had given her and announced that she was per fectly foolish about him as he was about her! i Wynn Revne Makes Fortune, The Wynn Revue has made a for tune; for its star and producer and it is too bad that it has to pull out In the middle of its success. -Per haps there will 'be a return engage ment after the western tour; who knows? Rumor has it that one of the objects of the California visit is to do some picture work. The funniest musical comedy comedian on Broadway should be able to make good In pictures and it is a wonder that he has waited so long. Speak'ng of the west and romance, Mitzi and her leading man, Boyd Marshall, decided when i they were on the coast on their last tour to marry and live happily ever after ward! As soon as they got back to New York they were married and this year are on a second honey moon in Europe. As soon- as they return they will start for the coast under the management of Mr. Sav age and play the charming little comedy for their- many western friends. The plan Is to return to New York in February in a new play now in the process of prepara tion by Zelda Sears and Harold Levey. Mitzi and her husband sailed on LrcuNA tku;U!;x, cowgirl or Oregon, continues to attract . interest and attention fn New York, whither she went a few weeks a"go to apply for a jockey's license. The metropolitan feature writers have all seized upon the colorful young western horse woman as "copy," and her pictures and accounts of her prowess have appeared daily since she arrived in New York. The New York Morning Telegraph devoted, a half page to the youngthful Miss Trickey in a recent issue, saying, in part: Leona Trickey, flapper, Cheyenne model, walked out into Times square one day last week and tried to find a place to do her morning lariat exercises. After a thoughtful survey she pulled a powder puff from her pocket the one nearest the six-shooter and . commented sadly: Wonder what Will Rogers sees in this town, anyway!" Girl Weighs 80 Pounds. The traffic cop breathed again. Miss Trickey weighs 90 pounds in her mules. It would have been kind of embarrassing if she had tripped a skyscraper. Just at the noon hour, too. Spectators looked relieved when she turned in the di rection of the Jockey club, 70 West Fortieth street. There she applied for a jockey's license. Yes, sir, she means to ride Morvich, Whiskaway or some future wonder horse to vie tory at Belmont or Aqueduct yet. That is, of course, if August Bel mont. Major Daingerfield and those other anti-feministic horsemen can be persuaded to change their minds. Glancing over Miss Trickey"s head her shoulder was too near the re porter's waist line to matter it was discovered that her application for a license contained proofs of her victories on all the western tracks of Oregon, . Idaho, Arizona and Washington. MUs Trickey Winsome. Webster would not have known how to interpret the term "flapper.". It is applied to Miss Trickey on the theory that modern scholars would define it as "a wild and winsome member of the younger generation.1 Broadway at Morrison The season 's best sale of tub frocks! 150 NEW LINEN & RATINE DRESSES ' at 11.45 FROCKS FOR TOWN OR RESORT WEAR FASHIONED IN SLENDER LINES SUITED ALIKE TO YOUTHFUL OR WELL-DEVELOPED FIGURES EVERY COLOR ALL SIZES!

She ad dressed the graduating class on "Dramatic Art in Modern Musical Comedy." A ball was also given at the American embassy In her honor by Judge Theodore Brenatno. Of course Mitzi's marriage made her an American citizen and she is very de voted to the land of her adoption as well a to the one where she was born. William Rock la Dead. The sudden death of William Rock, who - was known in the west long before he came W Chicago or Broadway, came as a shock to his many friends along Broadway. Old' timers can remember hi3 work on the Orpheum circuit with Maude Fulton, his first dancing partner. Later he introduced Frances- White to the stage and after their act sep- somest and most dashing little cow girl , ever seen outside of the film westerns or in them, for that mat ter. Her chestnut hair Is bobbed and wavy, her ankles are slim, her wrists of tempered steeL She rides two racehorses bareback, Roman fashion, over her own western ranch ad easily as the eastern flap per "slips into a straw-upholstered subway seat. And her "voice is the softest and gentlest that was ever heard outside a convent corridor. Perched on the edge of a chair In her room at the McAlpin hotel, she looked almost as frail and delicate as one of Conan Doyle's fairies. Out west she doesn't have to compete with the "L" lines when she speaks. The reporter had to strain both ears to catch the story. Girl Tells Experiences. "I have just spent five weeks in the saddle rounding up a lot of my horses which Had been rustled from my Oregon ranch," she said. "Got perfect one:" And. then eh showed arated. appeared in vaudeville, alone,1 all back but IS and never caught up with the rustlers once during all the time I was in the saddle." With characteristic modesty Miss Trickey tailea to explain that she had really been in the saddle day and night for over a month riding the Oregon mountains and plains, pick ing up one or two of her branded stock and sleeping under a blanket at night with no other protection than her six-shooter. . For the information of admirers of Bill Hart, Tom Mix and Dorothy Dalton, Miss Trickey's own Oregon oranas are "nat-eight," made with the figure 8 with a line drawn through the upper half of the eight horizontally, making a typical Stetson," and "7-4," -made all in one, the four adjoining the seven at the bottom. Trophy to Be Claimed. The real purpose of Miss Triniro-. New York visit was to claim the Hotel McAlpin trophy awarded in ma oy u. m. Boomer of that hotel to the winner of the women's all around championship at the Chey enne Frontier Days, the contestn in. eluding broncho busting, trick race Roman ridine and roninr. Tia Trickey has been twice winner of the trophy a silver map with the figure of a cogwirl in gold upon it. She must defend her title June 25 28 at Cheyenne. She will have vicm-j vl competition, as every girl rider in Wyoming and down to tne Mexican border has entered HTtnn m-,, -iiitoo j-iiuitoy manages ner own ranch out in Oregon, owning 2000 acres and 200 horses. She holfls a half interest, in the relay horses of Charles B. Irwin, owner of the Y-6 ranch, whose fast steppers she has ridden on the "bush" and "outlaw" tracks of the west. Mr. Irwin wants the Jockey club to give the littre cowgirl a license so that she can ride at Louisville, Tia Juana, Mex ico. City and on the big eastern tracks and compete for the huge purses awarded the competent jockey. She would even be con tented with a special license for a limited time, because she thinks it would help her win her case. Riding Begun as Baby. "There are already many girls riding, in the 'bushes,'" she says, "and it is rougher there than on the big tracks, so I guess I can hold my own with any of them. Riding good stock Is a lot easier than rid ing poor horses. It's like playing cards. If you hold a good hand your chances are better." She has been riding for five years in all sorts of contests. Indeed, she says she rode before she walked. Tom Mix is her favorite f ilm star. More than two years aero "Miss Wyoming,", Helen Bonham of Chev- enne. Wyo. who had been selected in a state-wide contest to represent her stater' at Cheyenne's Frontier Days In a country-wide tour to in vibe the state governors and officials personally to "come to Frontier days," was invited to the McAlpin as her eastern point by Mr. Boomer. At that time he asked if he could not do something for the big show. "Yes, but do it for the i girls; the men have enough prizes offered now," said Miss Wyoming.'
