"rp HAT'S come to be the first J commandment around these studios," said Pat Sullivan, who draws Felix the Cat. "People are always asking me, 'How DO you think of all the stunts you have Felix do?' Well, I don't. Not all of them. The scenarist and a lot of the boys toss me hunches now and then so that Felix's adventures are more or less a community product. "But listen — it isn't what Felix DOES, it's what he MUSTN'T do that gives us gray hairs. * * * "If you make a plumber the butt of a Felix comedy, the plumbers get a length of lead pipe and lay in wait in dark alleys. All that saves me is that they only lay in wait during union hours, and even then they usually have to go back for their lead pipe. "Hammer a carpenter and he nails you the first time he sees you alone. Knock a plasterer and he plasters you, slam a painter and you have to be painted with iodine. * * * " 'Lay Offa That' says every member of every trade when we happen to satirize their business or profession. " 'Lay Offa That' say the politicians when we spoof them, 'lay offa that' say the soldiers and the sailors and the veterinarians and the chiropractors and the steel workers and the steeplejacks when Felix takes a sly scratch at them. "And when we just happen to touch religion — oh, boy! * * * "Some time past we inserted a sequence showing Felix, in a dream, going to heaven where Saint Peter, always a friend to cartoonists and humorists in general, obliged with a number of laugh producing gestures, measuring our little cat for wings, a halo, a harp and a nice seat on the softer side of a cloud. "You ask what objection there could be to that? Plenty, and all these objectors hurling accusations of mockery, blasphemy, atheism and an organized attempt to ruin the morals of the younger generation. We felt like children, spanked for an error committed with the best of intentions. #. * * "Even spooks can bring in a storm of protests unless handled with the delicacy due their ethereality. Some years ago we produced a film showing Felix as a ghost breaker, wending his way merrily through scenes filled with the hants of the long, long departed. Unfortunately we had se lected as the 'heavy' or villain of our plot, a 'medium,' who was using these materializations for his own nefarious ends, 'C-c-c-c-ursessssssss oh yuh, Jack Dalton!' and there was where we trod on the ailing toes. * * * "A deluge of letters asked us how come we were so disrespectful as to cast aspersions on and point the finger of mockery at' one of the most spiritual of religions, namely Spiritualism, whose priests and priestesses we had defamed in miscasting our wicked character. "What can a poor scenario writer do these days? A really good plot must have a wicked, malignant, predatory and utterly despicable villain, and where are we to turn? * * # "Obviously, we cannot suggest that the wicked creature is a banker, without having all the members of high finance from the massive institutions of Wall and Broad streets, to the smaller ones in Monrovia, California, and points West, North and South, pointing out to us that we are guilty of endeavoring to incite in the minds of the public a distrust for all banks, thereby utterly ruining the credits of the country. "May we call our desperado a lawyer? Not without being accused of sullying the majesty of the law and her officers — no, indeedy ! * * * "Lessee, now! Doctor? Nosiree! Think what a terrible thing it would be to weaken the faith of the suffering public in the medical profession, taking from the ailing world all relief from pain which could be gained were they not foully prejudiced. "Let's run 'em over: Butcher, Baker, Grocer — well, we might confine our villains to the ranks of bootleggers and highjackers — only the public is tired of these darned prohibition jokes. "And yet we just gotta get our next scenario ready and pack it full of laugh getting gags. We just gotta poke fun at somebody, else the giggles won't come. "Won't somebody please come forward and volunteer to be the butt of all our jokes and let us* poke the finger of satire at his well-known foibles without screaming at us, "HEY! YOU, LAY OFFA THAT!"? ooo r^ ASTON GLASS is nearing v-X completion of his role in "Molasses," a First National picture. He is a member of an all-star cast and stuck on his job. Page <H
