f -ien. THE PRESIDENT . I94 Elsie Shaw, I am told by the fates, An usherette will be right here at the Gates. Libby Silverman, I see, for a big fat retainer, Takes on the job of M. G. M.'s lion trainer. The trumpets blare, the big top is still, Geraldine Smith bare back riding a horse is the thrill. Away sponges! Away water stones!-This method is quicker. , Take your stamps to Eleanor Smith the professional licker. William Pierce is a pilot, there's none who is Finer. He pilots the newest stratosphere liner. Columbia, Universal, M. G. M.. too All clamor for script from,Marjorie Soux. Lawrence Pharo is dressed in the latest of fashion I-Ie's every girl's dream, and he lives in a mansion. Hazel Spiers makes use of all her old rags She weaves pretty rugs and even hand bags. He kicks and he passes, he runs through the line As a pro grid-iron hero Joe Pitchford does fine. Who took over Disney? Made Babes in the Rain? This clever person is Clara Belle Swain. John Puryear, the cards foretell, A preacher will be or go to-Congress. An east side apartment and a kennel of poodles Joan Tallman maintains by selling copyright doodles. Leon Rodman digs a ditch in Nicaragua I hear A second Pan Canal by a great engineer. Who put Winchell in the breadline and Louella Parsons on relief P Gracie Anne Taylor's column passes belief! Jack Savage lives playing with girls' pretty tresses He makes beautiful women out of some kind of messes. As an airplane hostess Iris Thompson lives up in the air Feeding big business men-and smoothing their hair. Dogpatch's Adam Lazonga was good in his day But Portsmouth's Lamar Toomer beats him today. Frances Tonkin, you know, was the class's best sewer Aren't you surprised, now, to see her a brawny glass-blower? Tom Seebo is healthy-has a fine coat of tan He loves the outdoors-he's a Fuller Brush Man. She has only one fear-that her strength will forsake her She's Antoinette Tretola-our coy boilermaker. Sad is the fate of Casanova Spivey His charms are erased by chronic poison ivy. How to utilize rhythm Madame Lazonga's style Lois Warren now teaches-at ten bucks a mile. Madame Carey Whitfield expertly mounts a berry He's famous far and wide for tres chic millinery. Who's the heroine of rodeos, the cowboys' best pal? It's that hard ridin', gun totin', Mary Wilkinson gal. When you land in the gutter not knowing where you were hit The bouncer you may be sure was our brawny Pete Whitt. She tumbles, she Hips, her act stops the show Audrey Williams, an acrobat, rakes in the dough. You'll find him in a jungle, on the roads, at a spring For Wallace Wilson holds oHice as the hobos' sole king. She's neat, silent, saving, a veritable prize And proud is the man who got Jane Wise. Joe Wright is a truly remarkable fella He'll swallow anything from a sword to an umbrella. By Piusclttn HAGUE
