Here is another Joe Frisco story.
Looked Like Him Anyway
There is a dwarf newsboy on Ho,llywood Boulevard, in Hollywood, California, who has been selling papers on a popular corner for many years. He has a massive head, and lots of hair, but is no taller than a five year old boy.
One night Joe Frisco was eating his dinner at a cafe
Big Crowd Attends Hi-Jinks
The Hi-Jinks and get-together for lumbermen held in the Rainbow Isle Room of the Mayfair Hotel, Los Angeles, Friday evening, December 3, was a gala affair and brought out a large crowd. The party was sponsored by Lumbermen's Post No. 4O3 of the American Legion.
Over 2@ sat down to a fine steak dinner which was followed by the floor show, including musical numbers, a clever act by a lady magician, and several dancing numbers by a group of attractive young ladies. George West was master of ceremonies, and Harry Fitzgerald presided near the dwarf's news stand, when the dwarf entered with papers under his arm. He walked up to Frisco's table, and rvhen Frisco looked up, all he saw was a massive head apparently sitting right on the edge of his table, and his eyes bulged in wonderment. at the piano. The Kenneth Harlan Theatrical Agency of Los Angeles furnished the entertainment.
"Good God!" he exclaimed. "It's John the Baptist!"
The first door prize, a beautiful pen set, was won by Harry Cramer, North Hollywood builder, and Bill Collins of the Hammond Lumber Company, Canoga Park, was the winner of the second prize, a poker set.
Russ Gheen was in his usual good voice and led the group singing. In appreciation of his fine work he received a rousing cheer from the crowd.
Harold Hamilton and Dow Gow arranged for the entertainment program. Thomas W. Mills is the Commander of Lumbermen's Post.
