Humorous Story

I '"THE Worst Joke I heard today
A was told to me by Miss Belle
Astaire, of the Aataires. You know
them, the brother and sister, Fred

such a tremendous hit in "Lady Be
Good." They are over here in London
now, and they are a very big
success. She was eat to the Studio
today with Misa Dorothy Gish, who
I am playing in a Picture with.
You know when an Actor or Actress
has nothing else to do they
go and see some other one work.
She had her Mothsr with her and
t didn't get any real chance to have
a good cnat with her. At the table
I heard the following and advised
