Newspaper Page Text' PAGE TWO BEDFORD MAIL TKIBUyE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 1933. PARTNER IN FIRST EFFORT ON STAGE By HUBBARD KEAVY HOLLYWOOD (? Ever to often, for th last 17 years. Will Rogera hi wondered to himself what In tarna tion happened to Buck McKee. Buck and a little show horse named Teddy were the "and Company" of the vaudeville act ol "Will Rogers and Company" for five years. Will found Buck the other day. On a movie location trip on the Sacramento river. Will ran across his old partner, McKee, who now owns a riding academy near Rose vl lie, Catlf. .Rogers was full of hla and Buck's reminiscences when he returned to Hollywood. MoKee, he says, is the first man who really started him talking to hi audiences and "all them other stories ain't so." Will gives full credit to McKee for getting him on the "right track." , "It waa just SO years ago that Buck and me started oiit together at Ham mersteln' In New York," Will says,, "and we kept going for five solid years. The only lay-off we had was making out two trips to Europe." Rogera said McKee used to mike wisecracks at him from the wlns. Whenever Rogers answered, alinwit sot to voice, the first two or throe rows of people would hear him and laugh. A theater manager asked Will to talk louder, but ie was afraid to try. Meanwhile, for months Buck went on leading the horse Teddy, and Rogera continued to rope It. When McKee and the horse left the atace, , Rogera would do hla rope twirling. - "Finally I had a trick with two ropes that no one seemed to under stand," Will recalls, "so I decided to explain It. The first time I'd tried tt. everybody laughed and I thought thy were boolng' me. Buck tried to get me to talk again, but I refused.1 McKee recalled to Rogers the time tn a German theater when Will roped fireman, standing In the wings, and pulled him onto the stage. They both had to spend half the night apolo gizing to the Berlin fire department for this insult to Its dignity. "Buck used to brag about me be ing the best long distance roper In the game," Rogera went on, "out down In South America they made a sucker out of me. Why those fellows in the Argentine throw a rawhide lariat out Into space somewhere tnd drag back a cow and sometimes a calf with her." Rogers Invited McKee and Mrs, Mc Kee, a chorus girl when Buck married her In 1905 Just after Joining Rogers, to come to Hollywood to visit him. But Buck aald he had too many horses to attend to and anyway, he aald he thought Will would be too busy with these new-fanRled movies to be bothered with any more com pany than he has now.
