THE JACK O' LANTERN INEZ J'0HNSON--- d V Inez is a blue-eyed blond, Of her type everyone is fond, ' She'd'win the beauty prize up here, And be Miss Houtzdale on the Pier. DOROTHY PlIDGEON-- ' Dorothy Pidgeon is veryybright, my i When she says Yes you know its right, She'll be great some day, I've no doubt, Wait a few years and you'll find out. MARCELLA CHAPl..IN- Marcella should join the movie ranks, And do some of Char1ie's comic-pranks, As long as she has the Chaplin name, She may as well profit by the same. DAVID HlLLER-- David Hiller, short and fat, Is very bright, but no acrobat, He ought to work off' his fat doing stunts Instead of yawning and groaning grunts GRETCHEN HILLER-- Where is Gretchen's long dark braid? She's' no flapper I'm afraid, But a flapper's beauty soon will fade, -Give me the good old fashioned maid. MARGARET SHERKEL-- Margaret is quite, demure and shy, No one knows the reason why, She's just a silent little dame, But attracts attention just the same. I HELEN DlCKEY--- -g Helen has a sense of wit, Humor you'd call it but that won't lit, It has to be a word that's tricky To explain this funny Helen Dickey. LORRAINE HAl.L- l I Let me tell you each and all, In case you cannot here recall, Of a girl I know who is slim and tall, Her eyes and mouth are not too small, And she's as pretty as a French Doll, V Is thisgenchanting Lorraine Hall. -29.- .w I ,g V , . 1.fy1ii ',V: , I. 2 , 1' '1l f-fi! - tg. .Y 42- 'F 'inn'-:it ,ki Q Y - n -eq-
