The Trinoo who mar- ried Mae is a Lip follow, over sis feet and woinhing probably 220. Mae Is about five feet and wont ?calo more than 100. His Gxalte4 llKhness reminds me a lot of a bir4 I u.scd to know down in Amurilla Tex., by the name of Joe Mead. Jo4 was a Kood hor.se trader. Tom Likas H itchy The brlKhtest .^pot on this week'f Orpheum bill is my old friend, Ray- mond Hitchcock, who aots as mas- ter of ceremoniefi. No actor today before the public has handed m« the laughs I have gotten out of Hltchy. He Is always good, and his wise cracks are timely. He had a lot to say about one of my fellow town-folks, a Mrs. McPhcrson, ol whom you may have read in the papers and who it .seems got lost In the desert throuRh whl^'h we ar« just passing throup:h. Despite what people may say about It. the desert always seemi like home to me. I know every rattlesnake. Qila monster or side- winder In It by Its given name. 1 know more shacks In this desert than Amy's press agent doesnT know, and shacks are harder to find. I could have been a lot of help to Amy had my co-operation been asked. Hltchy cracked a lot about Flor- ida, which pleased the Callfornlans present. Being a wise old bird, I suppose Hltchy cracked California last winter when he was p)nyln||;„ the swamp circuit in Florida. Smart showmanship either way. The headllner on this week*s Orpheum bill is Ruth Chatterton in a skit programed as "Conflict." Far be it from me to critlcice so clev«r and so recognized an artist as Mfss Chatterton. Still, if I had a great reputation as an emotional actreM and my name was drawin' 'eih In, I'd at least emote a little Qnce In ^ while, and not pick a sketch that could be walked through with little or no effort. I'd at least give th« public part of a run for its monty. But. if Miss Chatterton and MIflfl Barrymore c&n get away with such easy acts, you can't exactly blame them, but it would be nicer if they . did It the other way. Corinns Tilton Best For real entertainment, next te Hltchy, I say Corrine Tilton. Her's is real artistry (I picked that word up over a year ago. and this is the first time I have used it). Misa Tilton stopped the show with her clever song interpretations. That Corrlno lived before the eighteenth amendment no one who heard her last song is goin' to dispute. The Del Ortos had the opening spot with a ^S'panishlng dancing act and got away fine. Costume* especially pleasing. Joe Merlin did a lot of card tricks. If I hadn't been leaving town I'd have hunted tlrnt bird up. taken a few lessons and then when graduated, what 1 couldn't have done to a certain pitch and high-flve game in a certain party's house wouldn't have been worth recitln'. Frank Dobson had a skit, "The Love Doctor," whic^, so far as I am concerned, not bein' much of a Judge, could have been improved by cutting out a lot of what I suppose was intended for suggestive wise cracks, but which were not clever enough to be worth rememberin' or repcatin'. Arty guy who would have sprung 'em in my house would have got throwed out. and I'm net so terribly squeamish at that. Lodova is a fine dancer, and gave us one of the neatest acts of that kind J.oH Angeles has seen these many days. The Morok Sisters, in a plca.slng aerial novelty, closed the bill. c All In all. not a bad evening's en- tertainment. With Mrs. Mix, my little daugh- ter, Thomiislnn, and a company of nearly 100 people, I am on my way to (Hen wood Sprin;;s, Colo., to make a picture under the dircotion of liou Seller. .M.'iny yoars ago I used to work srotind IhlH country ah a cowhojul .it $40 p» r and I expert to have a rrt at time- visit in" 'round.
