The Brilliant Contest Winners (...)

      The Edna Marion Radio set was won by Mr. C. H. Baker,

      59 West 46th St., New York City (...)

      Mr. Baker‘s winning answer to the first question in the

Radio Contest, What kind of comedy do you like best?

Why? Answering Question I: Ever since the first days of Chaplin

and the Sid Drews I have liked those comedies

which deal with the everyday average problems of life.

      The Idiosyncrasies of Genius

      By Delight Evans“ (...)

      „A GENIUS is anybody who can get away with anything –

any time, anywhere, anyhow – without being pinched.“ (...)

      (...) „Geniuses are supposed to be born, not made.

Charlie Chaplin was one, right along; but it was a long time

before we found it out. Charlie had been amusing

the small boys of the world for years before a New York

newspaper writer and a famous stage actress

declared that he was an artiste – with an e; don‘t forget

that e. The papers and magazines began to yell

,Genius!‘ at Charlie; but it was all right because the small boys

never knew the difference; and even if they had,

they would never have held it against Charlie.“ (...)
