Look here, lookit this wad o’ bills! Charity, huh? And here! Here’s a hundred buck note ... and there might be more where that comes from, if you keep your mouth shut!’ Just why certain phrases and sayings suddenly catch the fancy of the public and remain a part of the language, is something serious students of psychology have never been able to determine. A Broadway columnist coins a phrase — it becomes an idiom of the day. “Do you wanna buy a duck?” and the nation begins taking an hourly interest in the sales possibilities of the web-footed fowl. Many memory lingering phrases come from the movies. Screen characters talk, and the world adopts the sentence, without knowing why or caring less. Here a contest for Movie Fans based directly upon these familiar sayings, and there are many prizes to reward those fans who not only remember the phrase, but the picture in which it originated. In the picture shown here, you see Barton MacLane, the screen’s No. 1 bad man. Directly beneath the picture are printed a few lines of dialogue from a very recent picture in which he appeared with Paul Muni.
