13 Hand-Outs Along the Rialto FOOD FOR FURIOUS FANS By Cal Cohen Batteries: Fly Catcher. Movie Catcher. The game opened with Can Opener and then Pork got Beaned-Pipe at the Bat with lots of Smoke. Clarinet on first base, Cornet on second, backed up by Potatoes in the field, who made it hot for Pitcher Wood as he warmed up. Hatchet came to the bat and chopped suey. A1 St. John made a hit. Cement let Brick walk, as Match went out and then Areopiane started to pitch, but went straight up. Water ran for Hydrant and they couldn’t Rattle Bones (7-11). Wheat covered lots of ground in the field and pigs rooted when Umpire Bacon told Pitcher Ham he was on the hog. Baker loafed on Third, Piano played fast and put out Candle for making light of the play. Soda Bottle popped up and the way they roasted Roast Ribs, was hard on Pea Nut Roaster, and then Pigeon flew out. Corn was on to Cobb (Ti) and Tri(e)s Speaker for stealing home. Razor was Safety at first by a close shave. Lightning relieved Rain who got soaked and struck out six. Wire Walker made a slide for Life, Sausage cut up and got panned, Tea got hot as Spice, put lots of Pepper in the game; Coffee offered to settle as Egg Beat it out. Butter Ran and Ran some. No Legs walked as Limberger worked out strong. Catcher asked for a low ball and caught Babe Ruth napping. Dentist pulled for both sides. Then the Brunettes made a kick, but were called down by the bleachers. Asthma made a good short stop and Catcher got first money for the best Masker. East began to rise, and Flour furnished the Dough. Slacker was called down by his wife for making a home run, but he was too sly to be caught off of his base, as he left the Diamond at his Uncle Sam’s and then the Pawn Broker. Painter gave the sign and then Camera played Close-Up and caught Bobby Vernon as he reeled off of his base. Betting was on the Quiet not Lloud. Street Sweeper and Mop cleaned up Scores both sides (I) Won. Door said that if he had pitched he would have shut them out, then some one shouted, “Fowl,” as the Chickens filed out, but there was no feathers flying. The Three Stars who were WORSLEY HAS RECORD SET Director Wallace Worsley, making “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” at Universal City, is convinced that the film industry is no longer in its infancy as the gigantic fourth largest production business is commonly called. “I have just discovered what a tremenduous production ‘The Hunchback” really is,” declared Mr. Worsley here this week. Figures compiled by James Dugan, Mr. Worsley’s assistant director, are truly amazing. For instance, the Place du Parvis, which is actually the most gigantic set ever erected for a film, and in which most of the big action takes place, boasts of: 7 acres of land; 2 acres of cement and one of cobbled streets; 1891 feet of buildings; 200 carpenters working day and night; 3500 different period costumes; 2514 extras used on biggest day’s work; 4573 different players used to date; 175 luches served each night the troupe work; And the camera stand is 100 feet tall, the highest on record. It is equal to six stories, and action over a quarter of a mile away on the cathedral steps is embraced in the lens. “The Hunchback” indicates that Universal is to spend well over a million in cool cash to get this production ready for the theatres. * * * The chap who said that nothing was impossible had never seen some of these movies they are handing out now. Pell Trenton should get his credit line on this. * * * Johnny Walker, that young Irish lad of “Over the Hill” fame, is to play one of the all-star leads in Frank Borzage’s new picture, “Children of Dust.” praised that evening were Roost Star, Oyst Star and Boost Star. The fans were furious, for they spent a miserable day seeing 57 varieties of baseball served on a common platter, and the talk of the town, the appearance of Teddy Barba, Wheel Bara, Polly Bara and Theda Bara, who just gave the players the Double O, and everyone passed out — through the main gate.
