"THE SPtCC I* THf: PtlOT.RAM"
Fore!
You golfers. Here's your party. And you who don't golluf. To stimulate you. To get you thinking right. Working right. Playing on the square. All the time. Ima Bug has nothin' on me. When it gets to golf. I'm Ima's brother. So, to set you right here's the chance:
WID'S DAILY will offer a cup. Solid silver. Nice and pretty. Good stuff for any collection. For the best score turned in. By January one, next. For 18 holes. Open to all film golfers. Anywhere in this country. Or Canada. Shoot in your score. With your club handicap. And if you haven't a handicap get yourself one. Had to put in the handicap. Otherwise Tom Moore might walk away. With the mug. He has a roomful now.
Just to set this right. Abe Warner stands up. And offers another cup. For the best score turned in. From the Manhattan district.
Clear the course. Let's go.
MAYBE A CHAMPIONSHIP
On States rights basis. Le'see : Jules Mastbaum. Pretty good. From Philadelphia. Aaron Jones. Does mighty nifty work. On Michigan lake fronts. Bob Lieber holds Indiana rights safely. Flock on Coast. Too many good ones. To pick out any special. Steve Lynch hits a mean pill. Down in Georgia. And a flock of others. Let's get 'em all out. In a championship match. And may the best man win. Then he can meet Adolph Zukor. Or Marcus Loew from around here.
And all talk. Of combinations. Will be barred. Except at the nineteenth hole.
GATHERING
Of the clans. Not clams. Nary a clam there. In Minneapolis. Lots of good talkers. Led by Senator Jimmy Walker. Sydney S. ain't so far behind. And Sam Berman. With no apologies to the other silver king — Win. J. Bryan. They do say. Sam can talk a bird out of a tree. Especially if it's a gelt bird. Lot's doin'. Watch the wires. All week.
Yes. Dodo'll be there. Know Dodo? Otherwise Earl Gulick. He belongs to John Mannheimer. On the way out. Why is he termed Dodo? 'Cause the dodobird never knows when to quit. See any book on Natural History. Or ask him.
'CAUSE WHY
Dodo sells billboard space. Ask Elljay. If you don't believe it. So Dodo tells Fred Warren. He has a great sign location. Just for him. For his new distributing firm. And FB listens. And says "yes." But not until after a struggle.
