PART FOUR: A
fascinating interview with Jean Darling who recounts her
interesting and amusing experiences during the filming of the 1928
Our Gang film "Barnum and Ringling, Inc." She also describes
antics on the set of "Babes In Toyland" (1934) including an
amicable disagreement between Stan and Babe concerning her dress.
Jean reveals the cast member on whom she had a crush and fondly
remembers actress Marie Wilson. Interview with Roger Gordon, Grand
Sheik of the USA's Two Tars Tent and an editor for the Intra Tent
Journal. Here Roger discusses improvements in the Journal and his
reaction to the convention. Passing of the Pineapple Banquet: The
Berth Marks Tent honours the venerable tradition by passing the
Pineapple to Anton Hyups and Map Boon of the host tent for the
2008 International Sons of the Desert Convention.
