OIWIN
'Oiwin' is Brooklynese for the good old Anglo ■ Saxon name of Erwin
To the bride and neighbors he was a polite and milk-toasty Erwin, but to the mob he was 'Oiwin' — the horsepicking demon who gave bookmakers financial D. T.s! A gentle Jekyll in Jersey . . . but a Hyde-de-ho in the betting ring.
Now it can be told ! Nearly every star comedian in Hollywood wanted to play 'Oiwin'. "I'll buy the play," said one . . ."I don't want any salary. Just give me the chance and a percentage," said another world-famous funnyman . . . But Warner Bros, decided to give this coveted acting plum to Frank McHugh— not because he was the best-known actor to do 'Oiwin' — but because in their opinion he was by far the best suited. How glad you'll be they made this choice when you meet 'Oiwin' on the screen!
A candid camera study of 'Oiwin'. . . as the marvel of the ages picks a long shot and almost wrecks the betting industry.
"I just love a bettin ' man, Oiwin . . . especially if he keeps winning all the time.'
Every time 'Oiwin ' looked at a racing sheet the bookmakers took more aspirin.
"Oiwin, you made us millionaires . . . we want to do some little thing for you. '
