From tho Popular Novel
"A Modern Madonna"
fflALT0
llocauso ho was tlio "frecklodost"
kid In Jacksonvillo, Ore., Vunce Do
liar Colvig bocamo "Pinto" to the
youngsters of tho bnlllwlck tho day ho
started to school. And "Pinto" ho has
remained to this day, sawdust trails
and colluloiil routes to famo, fortune
and family notwithstanding.
"Pinto" came to claim tho attention
of Judge and Mrs. William M. Colvig
at Jacksonville "In the fall of '92"
und whllo tho good judge was advanc
ing politically and otherwiso the
youngest gavo much evidence of the
quality of genius that has now brought
him to the foro In motion picture
work. Both father and son are well
known in Portland and the state. The
former became lioad of tho tax and
right-of-way department of tho South
em Pacific and "Pinto," by way of the
circus band wagon, tho cartoonist's
oiiHol and matrimony, became a "gug"
man and a sometimes comodlun In pic
tures. Tlio Jackson county youth somo day
will wrlto it all under the head of
"From Sawdust to Collnlold, via tho
Wedding Kouto." In the meantime
his press ugent supplies some vital in
formation for thoso who know htm
and thoso who ought to.
Vanco Colvig received his first rec
ognition as a cartoonist nt nine years
of ago when his teacher called upon
him to explain his weird caricature of
the prominent features of C. C. Hook
man, honored Jacksonville banker.
"Slnco then," the artist confesses, "I
havo avoided being offensive, for
memories of that toacher's practical
application of a vigorous lesson about
respecting dignity remain very'frosh."
It was about the sumo timo that the
wanderlust solzed "Pinto," and found
Its onl' rebuffs in tlio fact that freight
trains and hoboes woro at Modford,
a whole five miles nwny. Hence ho
contented himself playing In a small
town band, witnessing crucial horse
shoo pitching contests and bulng a
regular boy generally.
Three or four times during the year
tho Quaker Doctors, tho Georgia Har
per Stock company, and the like,
would appear. Thoso wore happy
days! As n showman "Pluto" was n
huge success carrying hannors or
holding music for the colored trom
bonist, or "suplng" for Georgia Har
per. Whon he wns 13 tho . family
moved to Modford o inotrnpollB of
freight cars, twlco a-year circuses and
consequent opportunity to defy pater
nal regulation, (iolng to school, he
avers, was much like taking poison,
especially whon spring burst uiKin the
orcliuiid-iands.
"1 thought It would he mighty nice
to find myself on tho twonty-flfth
floor of tho New York Times building
wearing an artist's purplo smock, my
studio laden with Purslan rugs, with
Venus and Danto In staluo and In
cense burners In every corner, whllo I
turned out a 'Homer Davenport' dally
and received a weekly check that
tnndo tho telephono number blush,"
Colvig recalls. "Never having boon in
n big nowspnpor office, that was my
Idea of Its class. Imaglno my chagrin
when I did lnvndo the artist's stuffy
corner when they hnd to hang tlio Ink
woll rrom tho celling for want of room.
"I bad vlsuulUed a took I would
write, 'Around the World on Thirty
Cents," bound in bright yellow, aftor
I had beat my way around the world.
It would be 'ily Pinto, Tramp Cartoon
ist.' Put I'm glad now that I never
wroto that book.
"My future was a serious matter
with dad. He wanted me to become n
groat lawyor or a great baseball
player, but after mature deliberation
ho got me a job In the freight depart
ment of tho Medford depot. One of
my dally duties was to check up every
car on the side tracks and enter it in a
big book. One evening, with timo to
waste, I made tho entry by drawing a
picture of the car, putting a hobo on
top of it with a brakoman kicking him
off. A week or so later the officloncy
export sweetly informed me that I
was working for a railroad, not, a
comic supplement in a newspaper: I
objected to tho way he 'ran down' my
art and I quit.
"Next day I was on route to Port
land to take n job with n traveling
band. Tho band breathed its last a
few days later In Pendleton and I was
put to It to move around on the under
or top side of freight cars. The fol
lowing fall 1 became an oarnost stu
dent nt tho Oregon Agricultural col
lege. I learned how to paddle a canoe
and roll Hull Durham with one hand
before I broke looso as a vaudovlllo
chalk talker and wound up In Seattle.
There a circus band wagon claimed
me and my K-flat clarinet. I quit the
show In Cedar Knplds, Iowa, and with
another no'or-do-well with a million
aire father somowliero In Kentucky, I
did some tall traveling-. In ono town
I hocked tho clarinet for a meal ticket
and sought a job. My partner landed
ono nt $2 a day, and with his first
wages wo reclaimed tho inuslo maker.
The restaurant man hired my friend
as n waiter. At meal times I would
come In, order T-bone with trimmings,
and my waiter would slip mo a hill for
coffee and toast, 10 cents,' and band
mo tho dime to pay It.
.
"Hut another winter was In the off
ing and I drifted westward to Dourer.
An old-time , circus bandsman with
whom I had traveled enlisted mo In a
carnival circus band working wost.
It featured a Roman-circus and our
miironns hnd Julius Caesar's looking
to their laurels. We opened In Chey
enno and went broke three weeks
Inter In Colorado Springs.
"llnrk home again and then for a
brief slab nt c.illcgo. Hut I didn't
hit tho strido and soon went to Ne
vada to work on a Heno paper, the
Nevada Uock Holler, a yollow pnlltlrnl
shoot. Tho editor was sent to the pest
house with smnllpox and I landed In
Carson City as cartoonist for the
News during a legislative session.
'And then camo nnothor spring.
'Twns circus timo. t wns off. I fin
ished the season atop the band wagon
anil sailed from I.os Angeles to Port
land. There I met a wonderful girl,
Miss Margnrot Slavln, who was willing
to piny a Steve Orody and 'tnko a
chance.' On February 23, 1!)18. I
kissed all tho elephants good bye for
ever, held my freckled 'duke' high In
tho air and said, 'I do.' Hellove me, I
did."
"We moved to Sun Francisco, where
1 made animated film cartoons for a
couple of years. Worked a year as
feature wrltor and cartoonist for the
Bulletin, where I was known as 'the
boob reporter.' I quit that to make
tho first colored, animated cartoons
for Prlzma, Inc. Then I made a strip
for the Chronicle, which was syndicat
ed through the country. My newspaper
interviews put me in touch with the
movie people, who encouraged me
until I kicked over the traces and
came to Los Angeles. I worked as
'gag" man on a picture for Century
Comedies and then was called by Jack
White, where I am going gags, titling
and acting when I feel like It In Mer
mall Comedies. Jack Whiteonly 24
years old, with 12 different minds
whore only one ought to be, is a great
fellow to work for. Yet I seem to
work with not for him. There you
are. The whole truth, but not all of
It."
"Pinto" now gets hlB kick out of tak
ing his four fine boys to the circus
and making himself ono of the "hicks"
with a bag of peanuts, balloons and
all. Its better than trouping under
tho big tops, lie says. Hut hoboing,
circus days and Jacksonville nativity
have given this "box car Idol," and
"circus band wagon enthusiast," a
great grasp on details nnd human
nature and he's capitalizing these In
films.
Until be married and until boy num
ber four arrived there hadn't been a
half dozen serious moments In Col
vig's life. Now he's serious all over,
though he still finds time to let a
smile break through his freckles and
'I'm enjoying life as I never did be
fore," he says.
Al G. Barnes, in whoso circus hand
"Pinto wns many times a trouper,

Medford boy, The way Harnes has of
going after a problem and solving it
with the least ceremony, grasping big
things by the nape of the neck, with

day. There's nothing to worry about,
he believes, for everything has to turn

It does not matter to me whether
you are disabled with cursed rheu
matism or have only occasional
twinges. I know that' Allenrhu, my
own discovery, will stop the ngony, do
away with the gnawing pains and re
duce the swollen joints.
I know it will dissolve the uric
acid deposits that havo become
deeply imbedded In joints nnd mus
cles and quickly drive every trace of
rheumatism from your body. I know
this because I was crippled for yeras
and many times was unable to work,
and Allenrhu made a well, robust,
healthy man of mo.
I know because slnco I cured my
self, hundreds have taken Allenrhu
and speedily rid themselves of this
agonizing disease.
No matter how severe your case, I
urge you to put your faith in the
prescription that it took me years to
perfect a prescription that made a
new man of me after doctors tried
and failed.
Allenrhu Is no lnggard; It starts
right In at once; It gets Into tho blood
searches out the poisonous uric acid
deposit and in two days starts to
drive the concentrated Impurities
that cause rheumatism out of tho
body through the natural channels.
