When the Front Porch Became a Location IT became a location in August, before the grass had all been trampled out of Senator Harding's lawn, before the Marion police — both of them — had succumbed to nervous prcjst ration, and, even before very many people had found The Front Porch. The movies were on the job with the Republican candidate for President of the United States as early as the newspapers, and they sent their representative contingent to greet him in his home even before any formal newspaper call, other than the visits of the regular reporters. It was to be a combined pilgrimage from stage and picturedom, but when it left New York City late in an .August afternoon, in three special cars, the screen folks outnumbered the stage stars two to one. Prominent in the gathering were Miss Texas Guinan, who had just returned from two years of wild western picture-making; Eugene O'Brien, who went along to give Marion a look at a real live romantic actor; Miss Rubye de Remer; Lew Cody, treating the sedate state of Ohio to some male vamping, and Miss Zena Kcefc. Notable in the representation from the speaking stage were comedian Al Jolson; Leo Carrillo, of "Lombardi, Ltd.," fame, and Miss Blanche Ring. , After the crowd had detrained, and had been led to the door of greatness by an especially brazen and enthusiastic band, Senator Harding gave them the porch and the parlor, and Mrs. Harding, equally hospitable and enthusiastic, proffered all the house. They simply told Harding that they and all their fellows were with him, and then they turned right around and came right home again ! Below — They seem to be for Harding and Coolidge.
