■ | for the story about the fellow who I ■ left the nudist colony because he | . couldn’t stand to look at the same i old faces every day. Curious, the fact that both Joe E.! Brown and George Raft are mak-, ing pictures that carry them back i ' to their old professions. In “Sawdust,” Brown plays a circus acrobat, and in Mae West's "It Ain't No Sin,” Raft dons gloves to impersonate a prize-fighter. When he was a kid of 9, Joe actually did join a circus. Contrary u> custom, he didn't run away from ; home, but had his parents’ consent. | • They didn’t know, however, what a ■ : cruel school it was. This youngster. , with the big-mouthed grin, received , a salary of $1.50 a week, which was sent to his people. The head of the act gave him 10 cents for lunch, 10 cents for dinner and made him sleep late so there would be no breakfast money. When Joe finished an aerial flip with his feet too far apart, the master cracked his ankles viciously together. Joe showed them to me and. to this day, the bones pre greatly enlarged. But you’ll see none of this in “Sawdust.” As Joe puts it: “The picture won’t be a tragedy —we hope.” Raft fought, amateur and professional, for two years,U92l and 1922. He had won 16 fights and lost 5 when he met Frankie Daughterly (later to become Frankie Jerome). In this bout, George had his ear split apart. It took four weeks to get well and. thanks to the accident of good care, did not turn out to be a cauliflower. But Georgie, a dapper fellow then as now, decided not to risk his features any more. “H he said, “111 quit this racket.” And so he became a dancer. Typically Hollywood is the story they tell of the
