Rustic Review

who get up that early so that the

always made me fidgity. The era of big time vaudeville died while I was still in buttoned shoes and the movies ruined my sense of proportion at a very early age. So, I am not entertained when a guy does a handstand from the top of a chair balanced on a broomstick which his partner is holding on his chin. I am relieved that the acrobat does not break his neck and a couple of depression stiffs cracking jokes out of Cap'n Billy's “Whiz Bang” make we writhe. But at last there comes along a stageful of native, American folk entertainment, out of the barns and cowsheds of the Middle West. It has the comman touch, a very common touch, and for lowbrows like me, it is entertainment.

# »

No Handstands

NOBODY DOES ANY. handstands from chairs and nobody is singing phony Spanish or Cuban love songs. And nobody is trying to look romantic. When Lazy Jim Day in his overalls does a Kentucky jig, or what I think might be a Kentucky jig, I get a kick out of it. Jascha Heifetz is good in his way, but Curly Fox has a fiddle technique he never learned in an approved school of music. He doesn’t play the violin ‘properly, maybe he doesn’t know how, but I'd like to hear Heifetz do an imitation of a mocking bird on his squeaker the way Lazy Jim does it. Some of the best fiddling I ever heard on or off the concert stage was at a barn dance in 1933 at a barn in Clarion county, Pa. There was an old walrus there who had to sit down because of the “rheumatiz” when he played a fiddle which was tuned in fourths, if at all.

Native Entertainment

WELL, HE PLAYED ‘some of the native melodies which his Scotch-Irish ancestors brought into western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, and boy, it was music. * Couldn't read a note and his fiddle was a mailorder instrument. But folks came from miles around to hear him play, because that fiddle sang their songs. What I'm getting set to say is that there is a wealth of potential entertainment and comedy based on the folkways and songs of rural America and I think folks in Indiana can well appreciate it. Grandpappy Doolittle, who barges into the audience, is a first rate comic. Sure, his jokes are corny, but he’s a character and not a comedian. Shug. Fisher, who looks and talks like an Ohio farmhand, puts out some firstrate fun. Part of the secret of this rural stuff is that it is good, probably as good as any kind of a rustic show in the country. It capitalizes on native folk humor and the entire show goes along with an easygoing precision and an off-hand excellence which is hard to beat. -

“YOKEL BOY,” Keith’s feature picture, is a bore.

Original Three Suspended After Guilty Plea to Perjury Charges.

NEW YORK, May 1 (U. P.).— The three-year income tax evasion sentence of Joseph M. Schenck, 62, former chairman of the board of 20th. Century-Fox Film Corp., was suspended today and a new sentence of one year and a day in federal prison was imposed "after he had pleaded guilty to perjury. Schenck was convicted of income tax evasion in 1941. He was sentenced to three years and fined $20,000. He appealed to the United States circuit court of appeals and lost. He then appealed to the United States supreme court, but today abandoned that appeal. The motion picture executive was permitted to plead guilty to perjury in connection with statements made to internal revenue officials, and was giver the shortened prison term on the recommendation of U.
