PLINY W. HORNE RITES lowe-down Final rites held for Pliny W. Horne on October 17 - he had been ill for a number of years. Pliny was one of Universal Film Company’s first cameramen, photo¬ graphing such stars as Ann Little, Bill Worthington, Herbert Rawlin- son, Norman Kerry, Marion Nixon, and many others. In 1919, Pliny was assigned to a picture which was made in Africa; with scientists from the Smithsonian Institute, including a Dr. Heller; also a studio physician, Dr. Arm¬ strong. William Stowell played the leading man for Universal. Mr. Horne photographed many of Afri- ca’s most famous places and scenes, and was the first white man to reach and photograph the bottom of Vic¬ toria Falls. Unfortunate ly, an accident on the Belgian Congo - where a runaway train crashed into the Universal Company’s train and killed Mr. Sto¬ well and several actors and scien¬ tists - seriously injured Mr. Horne. Later he returned to work for a short time as his injuries prevented his continuing. This brought to Mr. Horne a semi broken life from which he never fully recovered. May he rest in peace is the wish of Virgil E. Miller, head of Camera De¬ partment - now retired, and his brother cameramen. Pliny is survived by his widow, Florence. Tony Weed is now considered a fi¬ nancial wizard. He is the manger of the E. F. Hutton Company with Offi¬ ces in our Tower. He predicted on NBC television, that during the de- cline, the market would stop at 740 in the Dow Jones Industrial aver- ages. That actually came to pass. I have invited Tony for an interview on my program — every Sunday from 12 noon to 2 p.m. on Station KSFV- FM, to explain the methods öf par- ticipating in the stock market He says that if you have faith in the fu- ture and growth of America, you should participate through invest- ments, in the market.

DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH - JIM DASH: We get a report from PHIL HARRIS that he and ALICE FAYE get along well except when Alice forgets little things- “Like applauding when I come down for breakfast.” MILT BERLE has a friend who has an understanding wife. She lets him go out with the boys one nite in every week... with the Boy Scouts. ED AMES’ 13-year-old son, RONNIE, was in an ele- vator with his girl friend when KIRK DOUGLAS step- ped into the car. Ronnie nudged the girl and whis- pered, “Do you know who that is? That’s Kirk Douglas.” “Gee,” said the girl, as she stared at Kirk Douglas for a few seconds, “What group does he sing with?” ARE THESE OUR CHILDREN? asked Mr. LA . . Bill Kennedy. Bill . . . we heard of a guy in a local casting office who asked “Who was Hoot Gibson?” ALAN BODE says he saw those Siamese twins dining in a restaurant the other night who asked the waiter for separate checks. So did DON RICKLES ... THE BEATLES made 15,000 dollars in one nite . . . they told RED SKELTON, but he sneered . . . “Is it steady?” They say coffee will keep you awake but a feller’s uncle kept awake all nite by milk. He delivered it. And they say about PHYLLIS DILLER ... When every- body took beauty naps, she had insomnia. 6 Continued on Page 11
