Radio Comedy
Has A Language
l All Of Its Own
(By The Associated Press)
NEW YORK, Nov. 16, — If
you “almost died laughing” last
night, the chances are it was be
cause a “slugola” smote your ear
drums.
A siugola, in the latest lingo
to establish itself firmly in the
radio broadcasting studios, is a
gag or joke that, jerks the victim
into the last stage of collapse be
fore sudden death from laughter.
It is the one which in old vaude
ville parlance, rolls them in the
aisles.
It starts with a thunderous guf
faw, rips off into rocking gale
that causes the victim to do a
standing jackknife, sprawl on the
floor and recover minutes later
between hiccoughs and gasps for
breath.
Slugola is the seventh word in
the dictionary of humor which
radio comedians, gag writers and
stooges have evolved to describe
the laughter-producing qualities
of a joke.
This technical jargon of the
clowns, according to such masters
of the craft as Jack Pearl, Fred
Allen. Jack Benny, George Burns
and Gracie Allen, is the result
of 10 years of steady refinement.
It grew out of the necessity of
analyzing audience response to
radio jokes and situations. It is
now quite common for henchmen
of the jesters to sit inside the ra
dio control booths and jot down
on the scripts, the “horsepower";
of each witticism, there being
one “horsepower” ascribed to
each of the seven stages. The re
sult is obtained from the visual
and audible reactions of the stu
dio audiences.
The Seven Stages
The technical terms; according
to a standing committee of come
dians at the National Broadcast-j
log company studios, are as fol-1
lows: i
1. Stiff—The only negative!
term in the list, it describes a:
bust, a flop, a complete failure.:
The audience response is a dead'
pgr' face and utter silence. .
1 2. Soso.—This two-horse-power
gag, is successful, wipes the
scowls off the faces in the audien
ce, put the listeners in a kindly,
pnore receptive mood.
3. Lamlaff—It produces the fir
st amusement.
4. Titta-ma-tifttah.—Provokes a
broad smile or grin which any
moment may break into a laugh.
5. Hupcha-di-bupcha—This one
causes rhyhtmic, rippling laught
er.
«. Belly punch—The gag or
joke that draws the well-known
belly-laugh, that convulsion that
starts in the midriff and emerges
from the larynx in jerky but
generous yawps.
The seventh and epitome of all
radio humor is sugola previously
defined.
The aim of all either funsters
is to avoid the stiff. Two stiffs
in Succession, it has been discov
ered, create an unfavorable atti
tude in an audience which will
ruin an entire program.
The perfect program is contin
uous lamlaff, sprinkled with a
lew belly punches and garnished
with at least two slugolas.
GAME HEADS ‘CRACK
DOWN’ ON SMUGGLING
JUNEAU. Nov. 16—First step in
smashing a fur smuggling busi
ness which has been taking about
$9,000 in illegal fur out of Alaska
annually is announced by the Al
aska Game Commission and the
Biological Survey. Furs valued
in thousands of dollars have been
confiscated in San Franciseo,
where it is charged they had been
taken by smugglers, and similaT
seizures have been made in Ne
vada and Idaho, another outlet
for illegal skins out of the terri-:
tory. One conviction already has
been obtained in Alaska and it is
reported that further prosecutions
will result in the States.
One beaver skin coat and a1
quantity of beaver skins have just
been received by the Game Com
mission from San Francisco whe
re the smuggling leak was actu-'
ally plugged. They will be sold!
I later at auction. Frank Dufresne,;
'executive officer of the commis- j
sion, explained that the furs have'
been smuggled out of Alaska a-t
board fishing and other craft and
taken direct to San Franciseo.
There non-union “sweat-shop”
establishments took over the furs
and made them into garments,
using women and children as em
ployees and paying starvation
wages. These garments were
I then thrown on the market thru
[“fences” as legitimate goods com
manding often the same prices as
l legal goods.
Working in co-operation with
state and federal officials and leg
itimate fur dealers both here and
with the union shops in San Fran
cisco, the game commission was
able to run several of the smug
gled shipments down and confis- j
cate the goods.
Through the smuggling ring,
beaver skins worth $15 in the
legal trade were being sold Out - 1
side for $4 apiece, the officials
said.
Many of the furs taken in seiz
ures reported from Idaho and Ne
vada originated in Alaska, Du
ifresne said, and had been routed
by smugglers through that syn
dicate.

Forgetful Blind Man
Walks 3-Story Ledge
WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE.
Ohio, <.4b—Courthouse employers
here watched breathlessly a man
they knew to be blind clamber
out onto the third-story ledge of
a building across the street, inch
his way to a distant window, and
let himself inside.
To amazed questioners, the
climber, James Ninsley, sightless
viol nist, said he had forgotten
the key to his room, so he had to
go out a hall window and around
the ledge to gain entrance. He’s
done it often at night, he said.
