Loudspeaker (Jan-Aug 1931)

all projectionists. Tony, let it be known, was a soldier, statesman, diplomat and history tells us also that he had sex appeal, although the description of “why” is very vague. Some of the would-be Beau Brummels of today who have attempted to duplicate his personality, have been repulsed vigorously by the vivacious modern girls who lose no time in choosing between domestic sublimity and Reno reconstructiveness, leaving the pretender in a non-plused condition, unable to penetrate the seemingly undefendable approaches to a woman’s acquiescences. But Tony didn’t spend all of his valuable time trifling with a woman’s affections. His ability to handle matters of grave importance to his state was recognized by the leading philosophers and technical bureaus of the day — including the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. When Cleo appealed to Tony for help in putting her cinema industry on a solid foundation Tony firmly but gently removed her arms from around his neck, that he might concentrate without interference on a plan already formulating in his mind. After a brief silence he bid a hasty adieu, explaining that he had an important engagement in Sacramento. Mounting his horse he headed for the nearest “speak-easy,” where he could map out his itinerary for the following week free from feminine disturbances. Then Mark Antony studied the situation carefully for the new standard release print — identification marks — surely he would use his surname, but what would be an appropriate mark !

As the mist appeared over his eyes and he realized that he had failed to satisfy Cleo’s last wish the semblance of the black ball which Octavius used to dethrone him appeared in the upper right hand corner of his vision. Reaching for his questionnaire, Tony attempted to register this apparition in the S. R. P., but he passed out before he could locate the dotted line and it remained for Lester Cowan, 2000 years later to finish the job — and so we bring this nonsense to an end. Fifteen
