Captain Billy—Why is it that the motion picture producers must give their picture such blatant title as “Once to Every Woman,” “Why Change Your Wife?”, etc. Stage plays don’t have to have “alluring” names to be successful.—Legit.
Quite right, Legit. The “movies” ought to tone down their titles so as to make them drab and commonplace and on a par with such stage successes, as “Mary’s Ankle,” “Up in Mabel’s Room,” “Twin Beds,” and the recent Broadway hit, “Getting Gertie’s Garter.” The last must have been some job.

Dear Captain Billy—What is a golf hazard and what does ex-President Taft playing golf remind you of?—Loon Attic.
A golf hazard is getting stung by a bee in a rough. Don’t know what Taft playing golf reminds of unless it’s a hippopotamus playing tiddlywinks.

Dear Billy—What is the best way to tell a gentleman?—Root T. Toot.
The best way is to watch how he wears his evening clothes—or pajamas. The first is preferable for single folk.
