Damon Runyon, whose stories
translated to the screen have already
won him more attention than any
other writer of the present time, now
has "Million Dollar Ransom," which
proved such a hit In the Cosmopoli
tan Magazine, in it screen version at
the Rialto theater fox today and Mon
day. Phillips Holmes and Mary Car
lisle have the romantic leads with Ed.
ward Arnold, whose work In the re
cent Joan Crawford picture, "Sadie
McKee," won him the reputation of
being the screen's leading "show
stealer," In the leading role.
The story concerns a young mil
lionaire, whose Idea of having him
self kidnaped to 'forestall hla moth
er's marriage, results In amazing com
plications. Arnold Is the cx-racketeer
and beer baron, trying to go straight,
who falls in with Holmes' Idea, only
to find himself on the spot when
former henchmen try to muscle In
and share In the spoils, not realizing
the entire kidnaping la ft hoax.

db Jenkins Smashes World's Tractbr Speed Record On
Low Pressure Pneumatic Farm Implement Tires

Ab Jenkins, the record-smashing
daredevil race driver, on September
20 under official A.A.A. supervision,
set a new vorld's speed record for
tractors by driving an Allis
Chalmers tractor equipped with
Firestone Low Pressure Tractor
tires at the amazing speed of 65.45
miles per hour. This unusual
demonstration of the "iron horse"
of the farm was made in connection
with Ohio State Potato Field Day
sponsored by the state of Ohio and
held at Harvey S. Firestone's "Old
Homestead," a farm of 640 acres
at Columbiana, Ohio on Thursday,
September 20.
The many advantages of rubber
tired equipment were, demonstrated
in digging potatoes In the 62-acre
irrigated potato paten, which is
one of the largest in Ohio. It is
estimated that the cnop will yield
20,000 bushels.
During the day demonstrations
were given on all types of farm
implement equipped with low
pressure rubber tires. In fact, it
is predicted that in the near future
all sections of the country will be
benefited by the greater efficiency
and economy in farm operations
due to the Firestone development
of these new tires for agricultural
implements. Left to right: Ab

Forces, often unseen and but Uttle
reckoned with, move men from place
to place. By some chance that X can
not explain, our company never went
east further than Philadelphia. And
so. we never played in New York
state. In the early days there were
companies that made reputations and
fortunes but never appeared la New
York City. When Emma Abbott died
her fortune waa close to the million
mark. The Bostonlana did not ap
pear in New York City until they
were compelted to do so with "Robin
Hood" under a contract with DeKoven
Other producere that met with great
success on the road were Orau. Baker.
Andrews, DoShon and Aborn.
Oft the actora, young Ezra Kendall
had acquired literally millions of root-
era In the west before he came, a
middle-aged man, to New York. And
Harry Bere&ford, too, who eucceeded
to Roland Reed's place In comedy. Oc
casionally I met Harry on tour In the
three decades that ha trouped. muoh
of the time under John Coleman'a or
Henry Savatre'a direction.
Thirty-five years sgo our profes
sional paths crossed at Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. Already he waa playing eineny
leada. He had come upon little bok
entitled "Papa Bouchard," written by.
Molly Elliott Sewail. at that period
one of Amcrlca'a popular authors.
Harry waa carried away by thl French
story of a quaint old Parla lawyer.
and waa bent on crashing New York's
Broadway with It, but hla quandary
was that Miss Seawell'a dramatization
of It had been read and found Impos
sible. I told him that I knew at Burling
ton, only a few hours ride from Cedar
Raplda, a young dramatic writer who
could do a creditable Job of It and
gave him a letter of Introduction. He
sent Arkmlller, hla road manager, to
Burlington that night, with the book.
Six weeka later the new dramatization,
accepted by Bereaford, waa in the
hands of Mr. Coleman, who sent at
once to Washington to bargain with
Miss 8eawell for the dramatic rlnhts
But the lady Insisted on production
of her own version of the play or
nothing: and she stood pat. "Papa
Bouchard" has never been produced
It was not until 1034 that Bereaford
reachod Broadway In "Shavings" and
"The Old Boak." Writing to ms he
said:
"Strange It la that for thirty years
I've been doing bottr work on tho
road, and only now Broadway has dis
covered me." Yea, after the spoken
drama had failed. In Hollywood, whtre
ha now does some rare bits In ptC'
tures, they will probably discover his
genius . . after the show is closed.
Our second "Mikado" tour took us
aa far east as Cleveland, west to Osr

Orleans. On our way north w played

tog. It stood on a sidetrack and wu
aurrounded by a milling crowd. n
slde wa a gentleman known to tae
early medicine industry as "Diamond
Dtck." ThU car, I have always be
lieved, turned our heads a little to one
side and led us away from the true
path of the pioneer.
Diamond Dick was one of the Old
Masters in the show business. Like
Mr. Barnum, he had an uncanny un
derstanding of the plain people of an
era before the term "psychic" came
Into common usage. He hao fixed up
an office in one end of the car ana
next to It a little dark room with a
peep-hole through which he could
both see and hear what took place
In the reception room, where the pi-!
tlerrta were received and questioned by J
hla assistant.
When the patient had disgorged all
of the facte nece&sary for a scenario,
Dick proceeded to put on the play.
Usually he entered quietly at the front
door and, without preliminaries, ne
would describe In detail the patient's
troubles, whether bronchial, cranial,
pedal, abdominal, or what not, and
thereupon dispense hla wonder potljn
at the reasonable price of one dollar
per bottle. He wasted neither time nT
effort, and he made a treat deal or
money. In hla particular line, Dick!
like Harry Wilson's Mr. Sooner Jack-1
eon, was the "superb gazookus."
But he had a fatal weakness. He
would go on spending sprees. On the
installment plan he had bought the
car from a wealthy widow, Mrs. Tuch.
and found himself broke so much of
the time that he was unable to py '
the installments. The result waa that!
the widow took the car away from I
him and sold It to us for spot cash, j
It la probable the Andrews Opera !
Company was the first on record to
take its organization In a private car
and go for an entire vacation st the
northern lakes. We spent the nsxt
three months fishing and dawdling at
lake resorts In northern Michigan, oc
casionally itnglng an opera, by Invi
tation, at some of the mall towns
where they tendered us an auditorium
and a profitable audience.
From the middle eighties, for about
twenty years there was sn era when
"summer seasons of light opera" were
popular and profitable. Today this
field, as Indeed all the opera stage, lsl
singularly deserted. I can see no 30od
reason for It, except that the radio Is i
Just sufficient to take the edge off'
of public desire to hear snd witness
operatic productions, the old-time
ad potent pleasure felt In the spec
tacular side of It has been lost sight
of. There Is not In the show business
of today that Intangible but indes
cribably pleasant theatrical atmos
phere that was present with audiences
in the old-time theater; an atmos
phere that Is unknown to the newer
generations of moving picture audi
ences. As for open air summer opera, the
parks have multiplied, the weather
remains about the same, the stars are
as beautiful, the charm of night-time
la aa potent as ever, the automobile
has made transportation easy, but the
public manifests desire mainly for
road houses or movies. Perhaps It Is
because strongly organized and talent
ed opera organizations no longer come
to offer their wares.
