Reporter
They're coming across the silver screen
now-faster, in ever increasing number:
The gagsters, Phil Shelly and Porky Jac-
obs' Sandy Sandtner, the old dependable;
Budge Wright, Dale Carnegie's "How to
Make Friends, etc." in the flesh; W. C.
Fields' double, Bill Staed; the King of
Deadpans, Bill Roy; the Row's ~ost prom-
ising writer, Barbara Nafsted, WIelder of a
clever pen; B. A. Almvig, the Energy Kid,
making a typical Dagwood exit; jovial,
carefree Briz Crabtree, God bless his soul;
Maybel Dace, tops in feminine executive
ability; Charley Michael, Bellevue's best
hunter; the dark Latin from Manhattan,
Cy Morgan; blonde "Ducky" McFarland,
who almost murdered ye columnist for
Winchelling on his romantic life; Milt
Roumm, chief of the penny pinchers.
The screen flickers, then settles on a
wavy-haired, bespectacled chap, as eccentric
as a wild March hare. lit's Hugh Lyons,
better known as Hugh the Unpredictable.
He and his family were down to a depres-
sion-imposed rationing of potatoes and
bread when a friend allowed him to oper-
ate a couple of games. Steak appeared on
the menu shortly thereafter.
That tall, broad lad is Albert H. (Bert )
Farmer, who dug out a lot of shekkels from
diggers .•. And the guy with the bayview
window and the scowl is Earl Heroux, the
arcade ace. Don't let that scowl fool you,
because he's one of the squarest shooters
in this or any other business. A great idea
man, he has the drive and acumen to trans-
pose those brain busters into practical suc-
cesses . .•• The cigar-smoker is Ken Shy-
vers, shrewd, alert, well-financed. Some-
times his emotions make him say and do
things detrimental to the welfare of the
operators as a whole, but whether you like
SEATTLE.-The ego that is a part of
everyone of us has been telling me: "You
are A-l."
Recently, the draft board that is a part
of everyone of us told me: "You're I-A."
Quick like a flash I saw that the D. B.
were not trying to inflate my ego, but the
armed forces instead, so I dropped in for a
chat with the local recrui ting office.
Some people say that I am offensive;
now, if the army inducters will allow me,
I'd like to be offensive for the duration-
to the Axis, of course.
This, then, is my au revoir column. After
patrolling the Pacific Northwest beat for
the REVIEW for seven years, people anq
events leave a poignant trail of memory.
How about strolling down Reminiscent
Road with me for a brief period of recol-
lection?
Johnny Michael-the first Coin Rower I
encountered: smooth, bemoustachioed, dap-
per Johnny, first assistant to Al Gustafson.
My first view of a jobber's establishment;
there were pin games lined in profusion, a
lot of smoke, a lot of talk, drinks, the blar-
ing tones of a foo tball anhouncer trying
to break through the cacaphony of sound
. .. Stout and stock Al Gustafson, talking
in clipped, trenchant phrases. When Coin-
land's great salesmen are roll-called, the
name of Al Gustafson will be near the top.

Then there was Sybil Stark, a big, good-
natured kid with a terrific smile. She could
make a guy in han~man's row feel at ease .
. . . That was the Sybil of seven years ago.
Today? Not so big, not so good-natured;
the smile lacks the natural spontaneity, but
Sybil is smarter, wiser in the ways of Coin-
dom's affairs.
