Hoosier Vagabond

TOMBSTONE, Ariz, Dec. 1-—This is the place where they used to kill a man before breakfast every morning, and where the newspaper was (and still is) %0 aptly named The Epitaph. It is the silver-mining town that blossomed and poared in the 80s, It is the home of the Bird Cage Theater and Boothill Graveyard, From the reading I have done, I don’t pelieve there was ever a tougher Western town than Tombs stone, I have written about this town before, so I won't be like the traveling salesman who als ways tells the same stories, In fact, Tombstone today is fairly poor copy, It is small and busy and prosaic, and all the “mellers drammer” must come from your memories, But memory Is kept well alive in Boothill Graves yard, It is on a knoll, just past the edge of town. The earth is hard, and only thorny little cactus growths are on the ground, From among the graves you ean stand and look for countless miles, The wind lows hard, and the air is cool, for it is high and gpaceless up there, \ Many of Tombstones notorious dead are buried there--five highwaymen who were lynched, a few who were legally hanged, some who were shot to death by Wyatt Rarp and his deputies, Nobody has been buried there for more than 30 years, Except |. 8 8 8 One New Grave There is one new grave, A shoulder-high fence of vices sticks gurrounds tb, The headstone is a lovely piece of petrified wood, set on a large rock. And on ft is inseribed: QuUoNg Kee 1851-19038 A Friend to All Rest in Peace Quong Kee wae a Chinaman, He had lived in Tombstone almost sinee there was a Tombstone, He knew both the quick and the dead of those early days.

MORE MEMORABILIA for the hook. Item 1: Once upon a time-—it must be all of 30 years ago—Capt. G. L. Bumbaugh invited Dr, Goethe Link and Ruste Irvin to go up with him in hig balloon, That afternoon they reached a height of 7200 feet, almost a mile and a half, The trip wag even more memorable because of the geientific data Dy, Link brought down with him, When the balloon was up 2300 feet, Dr, Link took the party's pulse and dizcovered that every man's heart beat at the rate of 100 per minute—even Capt. Bums baugh's which wag proof positive that it wasn't merely a matter of excitement. At T200 feet the pulses jumped to 120 p. m. Thirty years ago the average pulse beat of Indianapolis peo ple was somewhere around 2 p.m Item 2: Four vears later the same Capt. Bumbaugh let it be known that he wag looking for a couple will= ing to be married in hig balloon. The couple showed up all right, but as far as anybody Knows science didn't profit by that trip. Item 3: Ether and chloroform came into general use in Indianapolis during the vears 1848 and 49 Fifty vears later Dv, P. H Jameson remarked rather wistfully: “I have many times felt 'tke thanking the Lord that chloroform and I came into the profession about the same time” 5 & @&

WASHINGTON, Dee, 1--The camouflaged Presi dential candidacy of Governor John W. RBrieker of

Ohio hag involved him (n a harrowing embarrassment, with even more harrowing effects upon thousands of unemployed in Cleveland who are desperately elamoring for food in a city that is prosperous and booming, here isn’t any excuse for people starving in Cleveland, The town ig booming, with steel pros duetion at capacity, The eity could stand adequate taxation to finance relief costg, but ths State Legislature hag refused to grant it power to impose the necessary taxes, The Legislature could save the sftnation in a few days, But Governor Bricker will not eall the Legislature into session because he wants to make a record for economy before the Republican National Convention meets, If he sits tight now, he can elean up this year with a =urplug of perhaps five million dollars and offer himself as an economical administrator who would make short work of extravagance at Washeington,

He saw everything that ever happened to make Tombstone famous. And he just carried on, being good to people, He died last year, ‘There was one man who felt it more than the others, He had been an orphan long ago in Tombstone, and Quong Kee had fed him and helped him along. The man today is a well=to= do Arizona newspaper publisher, and he asked that Quong Kee be buried in Boothill, It was he who put up the tasteful monument, Strange what the years do.

Cleveland and other Ohio cities have had recurring erises of thit kind, They occurred under the previous administration of the unlamented Davey, Not all of the blame lies upon Governor Bricker, because Ohio cities suffer from the same Kind of archaie hamstringing by the State Legislature as exista in other states, where farmer legislatures insist upon exercising authority over eities, Mayor Harold Burton of Cleveland begged the Teg fslature last session to lift the restriction on Cleves land's taxing power, The eity ean stand it and Mavor Burton, was ready, in spite of the fact that he faced an election, to undertake the unpleasant task.

But he doesn't like strane gers to call him over and ask him to perform, This sort of thing happens all too frequently, The Holta family consists of Lou's mother (who is afraid of dial telephones); Mrs, Lou Holle, the former Phillis Gilman, a John Powers model, deseribed hy her husband as “far and away the most beautiful girl in the United States and insular possessions,” and two young women--Dianne Long, aged 9 and Liane Leng, aged 8, T.aese last two are daughs= ters of Mrs, Holla by a previous marriage, Lou has bee: a eltizen of New York for a long time, though he i8 a native of San Francisco, His

worth the aggravation” He goes to the movies three or four times a wegk, and catches all the legit shows. Helen Hayes is his idea of the greatest living actress, Lou doesn't hold much respect for the mental attainments of his fellow comedians, He considers that most of them have the minds of children, He once knew a prominent baseball player-—an ine flelder, Off the diamond this man lived in an intellectual void, “I used to ask him,” Lou recalls, “to add eight and five, He'd study a while, then he'd say, ‘Now don't you tell me, I'll get it’ And he'd come up at last with 12 for an answer, or 10, But the moment that man got on the baseball fleld he became an absolute genius, Every move he made was brilliant,” y ¥ 8

ANY comedians, Holtz says, ‘ . are like that, Offstage some of them would have te think twice in order to qualify as half-wits, But in front of an audience these same men are touched with genius artists in every sense of the word Lou believes that no matter how great a comedian’s natural instinet for hig art, it takes from 12 to 156 years of hard work before he is fully developed--before he has reached the ultimate in his work.

the stage as a singer when he was 12, and he is now 063. Willle was born in Neustadt, Germany, but he was brought to this country when he was about 6 weeks old, His father was a rabbi on the upper East Side, Willie had a brief career as a prizefighter under the name of Kid Lefko, His real name is Lefkowitz, and he has one ear that is slightly cauliflowered, His nose, too, acquired its fractured look in the prize ring, Today Willie has a big house at Great Neck, where he lives with Mrs, Howard and a gentleman known as The Great Sir Joseph Ginsberg, Sir Joseph has been a Howard retainer for a quarter of a century and recently finished the manuscript of his biography, which he modestly titles The Greatest Man in the World, By Myself, Willie first met him on the Pacific Coast, where Ginshurg's specialty was singing Irish songs in Jewish dialect, n ” » O far as Broadway is concerned, Willie is almost a recluse, Save when he's working, he spends virtually all his time at the Great Neck place, digging in his vege etable garden or thinking up pracs tical jokes to play on the Great Sir Joseph, These jokes are seldom ingenious, Eating a meal is quite a trial for Sir Joseph, First the jam pot explodes when he opens it, His fork collapses in his hand and when he gets a better one, the frankfurters turn out to be rubber and the plate starts leaping around the table,

In perfecting his many remarkable characterizations, Willie spends hours in front of a mirror, experimenting with wigs, mus= taches and grease paint, In a few minutes he can make himself into one of a hundred characters, One moment he's a Kentucky mountaineer, A few swift dabs here and there, a new mustache and a silk hat—he's Neville Chamberlain, Whenever he feels himself grows ing dull Willie drives his roadster to the Bronx Zoo and sits for an afternoon looking at the monkeys, He has learned a lot from them--including the cardinal virtue of dead-panning, No co=median, he says, should ever laugh, eT ILLIE'S library is made up chiefly of hooks about war, He has histories of almost every war that was ever fought, His shelves contain no books of humor -n0 joke anthologies, “Every comedian in the business,” he explains, “brags about his joke-hook library, They all have the same hooks, so what! They use the same jokes, Then they go around accusing cach other of stealing gags.” Willie works many of his own routines out himself, His superb impersonation of & Communist soapbox orator (Rewolt!) was his own Idea, and he wrote the script for it, Usually, however, he takes his ideas to a writer and has them put into shape, He and his brother Eugene, who always appears with him, have been at it since 1901, Eugene is always talking about how he wants to retire and become a farmer, “You can't do It,” Insists Willie, “You can't be a farmer. You haven't even got a daughter.”

My Day

WASHINGTON, Thursday must confess to being somewhat embarrassed last night at the 135th anniversary dinner of “The Churchman.” Both the speeches and the actual presentation of the award, made me feel somehow a bit unreal, When you sit and hear whom you admire and respect, say things which might well apply to somebody else, but can't apply to you, and find that you have to get up and accept all this well, it's disconcerting. It would be idle, however, not to acknowledge that it is pleas ant to be well spoken of, and that it does give one courage to Keep on trying to be more worthy of all that has been said. I went to the station after the dinner, just in time to catch the 12:50 a. m. train, and found there a group of young people whom I know, members of the American Youth Congress and other organizations. Mr, Will Hinckley, who was chairman of the Amers fean Youth Congress some three years ago, was subpenaed to appear before the Dies Committee in November, but that date was postponed. Between 4:30 and 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a wire was received stating that Mr, Hinckley would be given an opportunity to be heard before the committee at 10 o'clock this morning, It is usual, of course, when one appears before as ta committee as a Congressional Gommittee, # J
