HIGH ART
FREDERIC COLBURN CLARKE
I'm only a camera artist —
I'm sort of a wizard at that,
I make a fat person look thinner,
Or skinny young ladies seem fat.
My customers want to look pretty —
The likeness don't matter a bit
So long as the picture can flatter,
Their friends cannot criticize it.
Last week a young lady implored me
(It's shameful to give her away)
To make her some beau-u-tiful portraits —
A present for her fiancee.
I had to retouch out her wrinkles,
Eradicate many a mole:
I etched out superfluous birthmarks
Down just where her double chins roll; —
Her eyebrows both needed reshaping,
Her big waist I had to make small,
She surely was knock-kneed — I fixed
them — Her mother won't know her at ali! I'm out to make pictures for money, As everyone wants to look smart — Result: I just keep on retouching And call the damn business "High Art!"
THE CELLAR CAEE
Members of Local 659, looking for a good place to eat will find it in the basement of the Markham Building, Hollywood, right under Local Headquarters. The grand opening of this new market for comestibles is taking place as this book goes to press and if it's always as good as the opening bill it will be a desirable place to invest your food money. Ask for B. B. B. and tell him you're a member of Local 659.
The Union Label has proved its usefulness for nearly half a century. Its growth has vanquished skepticism.
Our battle will be won when we give thought to the spending of our union earnings. Purchase Union Labelled products.
Demanding the Union Label, shop card, and button, is a duty which we should view as an opportunity to do good, rather than an irksome obligation.
