All types of acquaintances! While talking with a director he noted a cameraman close by, trying to hide behind his machine. He watched so closely that the director followed his glance and remarked: "That fellow is a good shooter." "Yes, so I am aware," the Judge replied drily. "Oh, you've heard about his work. No wonder. He's one of the best in the business. Absolutely without fear. Goes up in an aeroplane and gets wonderful pictures — " The Judge slipped away and went over to the camera.

And when the big match of the evening came along and things got really dangerous and exciting, the spectators in adjacent seats might have heard two girls shouting: "Finish him off! Knock him out!" /""» EORGE JESSEL, he of "Ginsburg the Great," is the ^-* only twenty-four hour a day humorist we know. He is always funny, never strains, and is entirely original. Recently he was talking of miraculous financial rises in America today. "For instance," he pointed out, "look at the brothers. Fifteen years ago they had seventeen dollars. Today they owe eleven millions." AMONG those present at the Dempsey-Tunney fight in Chicago was Gil Boag. When someone asked him whether he had bet any money on the fight, Mr. Boag gave the following profound advice: "No. Never bet on anything that can talk."
