LOCAL COLOR WILL BE ADDED TO WILL ROGERS’ Will Rogers, nationally known hu orist of Ziegfield Follies and motion | icture fame, arrived in Bismarck to- | lay and will be the feature attrac. tion at the city auditorium this even- ing. . Bismarck will probably come in for} @ share of attention in Rogers monologues, because it is habit to’in- sert a little local color whereever he | happens to be. Likewise it is habit | to purchase his gum whereever he is | giving @ program, so his famous wad | fonignt will be purchased at some lo- cal store. Although Rogers has sev- | eral monologues, among the best be-’ ing “Other Famous People I Have Met at the Stage Door,” and “All I Know Is What I Read in the Newspapers,” he never says the same thing twi and each monologue is different cach time he gives it. As & headliner with the Ziegfield Follies, and as anjafter dinner speak- er,’ Rogers has become famous the world over during the last several years, and everybody has ‘been read- ing about him, or reading what he says. He chews gum, does roping stunts, and talks about everything under the sun. Even a chronic grouch melts before the wit and philosophy of this Oklahoma cowboy. Has Method of His Own Like all suceessful (men, Rogers has. his own method of work, Everyday he stidies the newspapers from all over the country, reading first the front pagés'and then the editorials. He reads qi! the editorials written on both sides of the political fence he- cause he has no faith in the interpre- tive pawers pe any single publication. Only by reading them all docs he fec} that he has learned something.
