Here I am sitting on Tuttle’s Com- missary wall where the fellows watch, chatter and chew toothpicks on the lunch break. Red Stanley, our lyric writing Texan is for the birds saying that there is no humming birds in Texas. The birds down there, all know the lyrics. Wal says Joe, with all the royal and foreign visitors — the U is getting, our reception committees are sticking to humming when they hit the langu- age barrier tho Don Margon recom- mends grunting — and grinning. If Mr. Stein has to return all these visits, it might be wise to consider the sign language too. I say this, cause years back the lot was keyed for a visit from the White Maharajah of Punjab. Building sides facing the gate were painted and Mr. Laemmle suggested that the boys get up a protocol. The assistant director donated “Hinge Neck” oil for those who had scruples about bowing to Royalty. Came the big day with a throne set on Stage 10 and a crew ready and wait- ing to make a news reel of Mr. L and The Rajah. By noon there was no sight or sound of the royal entourage so Gil Kurland thought it wise to send half the crew to lunch. In this way he wouldn’t get stuck for box lunches or overtime. Thru the lunch hour-rush wandered a turbanned character look- ing every bit like a lost actor. The group on Stage 10 paid no heed to the visitor. Madrigan, the grip thought he was Walter Brennan pulling a gag . . . but the jeweis worn by the visitor sparkled real to Bill Minley, the prop master. He never had anything like them come out of our Prop Depart¬ ment. Bill’s curiousity got the best of him and rising to the occasion he gave the visitor a few passes from Tim McCoy’s Indian sign language and to the crew’s amazement, the Rajah re- plied with an Irish brogue. “I don’t know whicha way he goed but if you are expecting the Maharajah of 1 Pun¬ jab, I am he.” This threw everyone into a panic and all but Madigan went into action to find the reception Com¬ mittee and Mr. Laemmle. The Rajah had passed all the lookout posts like a player looking for Carl Berauzer in Casting. What bothered Madigan was that he never heard of an Irish Indian which amused the Rajah and when he told Madigan that the Irish mission- aries taught English in India, Madigan went into his dance. Madigan was jig- ging to the tune of the “Irish Wash Woman,” and though the Rajah didn’t know the lyrics he was humming away at the tune. This scene greeted a breathless Mr. Laemmle and the Reception committee. Who the heck needed protocol? and a good time was. had by all. News items welcomed. Please bring them in or mail to Drawer M.
