Nice, Slightly Used Movie “Props” For Sale at Bargain Prices, Cover t, Field of Animals and Machinery Anything From Goats to Gadgets Offered to Pub- lic — Replica of Lenin’s Tomb Available at Frac- tion of Cost to Build. New York, May 23 (#—Anybody want to buy a nice, gentle. wooden locomotive that had a “walk-on” in “After Dark.” Or the live goat from “Porgy."” Or the Gadget that put the rain in “rain?"” Or a grand barrel organ from “The Hairy Ape?” All three playthings which would add just that inimitable touch to any home and entertain the kiddies no end. are for sale—and right cheap, too. Cleon Throckmorton, designer and builder of stage sets, offers them to the bargain.minded. under the slo- gan: “Furnish your home with props from last season’s flops.” Of course the props aren't all trom flops; as Mr. Throckmorton ex- plained today, “‘Props’ and ‘fiéps’ rhyme so well.” The idea ‘is that one can buy all kinds of good furniture with associ- ations and at the same time, help clear out Mr. Throckmorton's ware- house. He is particularly eager to get rid of the goat, because goats do eat. And so do donkeys. “Now a fine, tame donkey—what s lo pet for some penthouse child!” Mr. Throckmorton exclaimed today, his eyes lighting with enthu- siasm. The donkey appeared in “The Black Crook,” and now owes a $100 board bill in a Hoboken livery stable. “There's also a two-story house, put together with bolts and hinges, used in Eugene O'Neill's play ‘Dynamo’.” Throckmorton has it on his roof, with an office on the ground floor and a den upstairs. “Do you know of anybody who'd like to get hold of a dandy facsimile of Lerin’s tomb?” Mr. Throckmor- ton inquired anxiously. in a play called ‘Red R never got shopworn. “Here's one that maybe somebody really would like. It's the drum from Emperor Jones, and it rs the au- tograph of Eugene O and all the drummers who have drummed on it from D} Yo o Hollywood.” Buttons Coming Back To Give Closer Fits Paris, May 23.
