The Bulletin, Thursday, April 30, 1964 Stepin Fetchit is charity patient at Chicago hospital CHICAGO (UPI) - Negro co median Stepin Fetchit, who made about $2 million enter taining movie-goers with his slump-shouldered, foot shuf fling routine, today is a charity patient at Cook County Hospital. But the aging comedian ap pears every bit as cheerful and content as when he was mak ing motion pictures with such stars as Shirley Temple, Will Rogers and Janet Gaynor. "Me and Charles de Gaulle," Fetchit laughed in reference to his pending (prostate gland) op eration. "Only look at all that money Be Gaulle has. I wouldn't be here if I had it." Fetchit declined to discuss the exact route he took from wealth to near-poverty. He would rather discuss the civil rights movement. "1 figure I made $2 million in the movies," he said. "But when you give away all your money you've got to go into debt. I had assets of $146 when I filed a $5 million bankruptcy in Chicago." Hollywood records show that Fetchit earned more than $1 million from 1927 to 1938, and he indulged in the customary lavish movie star living of the day. He had 12 cars, Including a pink Cadillac with his name In neon lights on the side. When he drove downtown, two chauf- feured limousines followed be hind. He lived In a huge estate and paid as much as $1,000 for a custom tailored India cashmere suit. "I never had a manager and I signed too many foolish con tracts" in those days, he said. He appeared in such films as "Miracle in Harlem," "His Ex citing Night," "The County Gentleman," "The Virginia Judge," "Stand Up and Cheer," "Carolina," "David Hanrni," and "The Prodigal." "I used to have 16 Chinese servants," he said opening a battered brief case to pull out a photograph of six of them. Fetchit's county hospital garb contrasted with the impeccable evening dress he was wearing in photographs taken with such artists as Louis Armstrong, Shirley Temple, Nat King Cole and Will Rogers. Fetchit claims he was born In 1892 on May 18, but he appears no older than his early 60s. He started In the silent films in 1920 and continued a success when the talkies arrived.
