CAN ART OF MIMICRY
BE TAUGHT? Silver Lion On
Florence Desmond Gives Warning
THE "Lady who wishes to learn impersonations'," and advertised for a teacher in the "Agony Column" of a recent issue of the Times, would be well advised to de- vote her attention to the cultivation of another gift.
That, at least, is the opinion of two of the great mimics: Florence Desmond and Elizabeth Pollock. The former thinks it is a pure gift; the latter that it is "the most heartbreaking job
in the world."
Miss Desmond, pausing as sho smeared blue grease paint shadow beneath her eyes at the Coliseum spun round in her chair.

King's Car
On the radiator cap of the King and Queen's new car, being taken to Canada with them, is a silver Hon. There has been a silver lion mus- cot on their cars since 1928.
Why?
The answer lies in an incident when, as Duke and Duchess of York, they were big game hunting near
Nairobi in 1925.
After a blank day in the jungle the Duke and Duchess were reating alone before returning to camp
when,
without warning, a llon sprang to- wards them from the dense under- growth only a few yards away.
A light gun with only two shots
left in it lay on the ground beside
the Duke. Ife Analched it up and -441 brought the animal down with a bul- let through its hend at the first shot.
