Value 0 a painting oflrn depend on uhose nail it hangs from. None of thesa celebrities hate played vaudeville, so there is little dunfter that their little masterpieces are planinrisms on the "Berle-Y 'oungman-Jenel" trhool. Here are some favorite jokes of famous peo ple: AL SMITH: A citizen attended his first politi cal Jamboree. He wasn't there long before somebody copped his watch. He reported it to the district leader, who whispered: "Next to which guy was you standin' last?" Victim pointed to a fellow in the center. "Just don't say nothin' and it'll be O.K." In a few minutes the lead er handed the watch over to its owner. "What did he say?" asked the grateful man. "Sh-h h quiet he don't know I got it!" MAYOR LA GUARDIA: (Tells this one on himself) Two Soviet representatives ar rived at City Hall. Instead of the expected and accepted costumes of Stalinites, they wore high hats, etc. They looked at LaGuardia, in baggy everydays, and all he could say was: "Gentlemen, I represent the Proletariat!" FANNIE HURST: A dapper fellow walked into a bak ery and ordered a special cake: "I want it 55 inches in diameter nine layers seven colored frosUngs. In the center, I want my initials, R. N. I want it as soon as possible." "I'll have it for you in a week," was the answer. On the appointed day. he called, inspected the cake: "It isn't exactly the way I want it change the yellow frosting to orchid." On the second inspection, the fellow was delighted: "Perfect perfect." "Where shall I send it, sir?" "N place I'll eat it here!" BERNARD SHAW: When Lionel Barrymore was scheduled to appear in "Macbeth," there was much doubt among New York ticket brokers whether to "buy in" before the opening. McBride was the leading broker. All the ."specs" were on hand for the pre mier. Lionel floundered through, the part. Then came the big moment his shout "Lay On MacDufT!" Came the answer, from the rear of the house: "Lay on, McBride!" JIM FARLEY: Joe Louis, in the Polo Grounds, finished an opponent in a few sec onds of the first round. After the victim got in his dressing-room, he didn't say a word he was still out. He dressed and his manager escort ed him to the street. It was rain ing. The pug put out his hand and moaned: "Gee, this will hurt the gate receipts!" "Oh," cracked the manager, "I forgot to tell you the fight was called oft!" JIMMY WALKER: A hillbilly called on a girl for a year. Finally, her father flagged him: "Time I asked you something are your intentions to my daugh ter honorable or dishonorable?" "You mean I have a choice?" quer ied the hillbilly. ILKA CHASE: A young radical refused to work. His old man let him have it: "Fine bum why don't you go to work and make some money?" "Aha, I'm glad you brought that up. It'll come the revolution and we'll have a Utopia we won't need the money!" "But why don't you go to work and make $50,000 when it comes the revolu tion, then you can help them with it." '"Aha suppose it don't come the revolution then I'm stuck with $50,000." MARC CONNOLLY: When Caesar tried to take Ireland, he was repulsed by Clancy and Fin- negan. Caesar returned with more legions again was pushed back, Julius was now really mad. He gath ered the full might of hii armies and navies and started for Ireland gain. This time, Clancy and Fin- negan were careless. Sitting on a raft, they were surrounded, cap tured after a terrible struggle and brought to the Forum, as caotives. Caesar threw the pair into the arena against 500 gladiators. Clancy and Finnegan mowed them down. Cae sar burned. He ordered them to fight 2,000 lions. This day the crowd really turned out. As Caesar and his retinue entered the arena, Clancy pointed: "See that beautiful blonde with Caesar? Well, this morning, she looked at me and" just then there was a mighty roar "Sorry, Finnegan, here come the lions I'll have to tell you the rest later!" PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT: Ailing gentleman ambled into a doctor's office: "I'm havine tmu. ble with my eyesight and hearing." "A-e you a drinking man?" "Yes. doctor." "That's it Stnn drinkino r Q at once, report to me in a month." A month later he reported: "Doc, I still have trouble with my eyesight and hearing." "Did you stop drink ing as I told you?" "Nope what I've been drinking is so much better than what I've been seeing and hearing lately I decided to keep it up!"
