ALL HUMOR COMICS
Yssmmw'T'HE Plaza de Toros was brim-full of avid
fans that. day. All bull fights drew great
crowds in Mexico City. But today there was a
special reason for the vast assembly: SenorCharley was to fight a bull!
Now in case you don't know about Senor
Charley—who is really known as Senor DonCarlos Morenas y Paehueas—vou should learn.
because he is without any question the greatest
torero in all Mexico!
So the crowds howled and threw seat cushions
and papers a*nd hats into the arena as each of
the preliminary fighters cither dispatched their
bull, or made a monkey out of themselves bynot doing so. A certain American comedian by
name of Charley was in the stands that day,
He was accompanied by one of Mexico's bright
officials of state.
"This fight," says the Mexican, "she will be
a great one. no? With Charley in the ring!
Aha!"
"Charley?" asked the American innocently.
"Is there then a Charley to fight?"
The Mexican nodded rapidly and moved his
hands in a gesture that said, "What colossal
dumbness, is there a Charley to fight!" But the
official let the gesture ride itself out without
saying anything.
The second prelim was about over. The bull
moved around the arena, one red eye cocked at
his tormentor, front feet pawing the ground
and loud snorts coming from his dusty nose.
The torero danced and pirouetted and shook
his cape in a fine manner. The bull rushed. Thefighter sidestepped daintily. .The fighter lost his
balance and sat down plunk in the sand. The old
bull, wise to all the tricks and alert for an open-
ing to do mayhem, whirled and came back with
a rush.
'Yow!" yelled the picydores as they dashed
in to fend off the snorting beast. The bull turned
aside and galloped off into the chutes, where
the gate had not been let down.
The fighter limped off the field, lamed by his
fall. Thv crowd hooted and jeered and built tiny
fires to show their derision. For such is *he wayof bullfight fans.
The next event was much the israe. It went
slow at first, speeded up toward tire end. Andthe torero, who was a shade better at his gamethan the last one, got in the faetia, or death
thrust just before the tired bull collapsed from
sheer fatigue.
Again the crowd yelled .their derision. This
was not a fight! This was a game! The bull
simply died from old age 1
Charley, the American comedian, nudged the
Mexican official. "Is this a bull fight?" he ask-
ed with a blank face.
"Si." said the official. "But I have seen more
exciting fights. There is yet one more of these
preliminary fights. Then, senor, watch!"
'I'm watching." replied the American im-
perturbably.
The next fight was good. Eticardo Mundez was
a fast, clever fighter from Madrid who knew all
the tricks. As he stepped nimbly around the
charging bull, the crowd went wild. They hurl-
ed hats now, not insults.
"You see," grinned the delighted Mexican
official, "it is wonderful when the torero really
fights the bull, no?"
The American nodded solemnly. And as
Fnlemnly replied, "Wonderful—when he fights
the bull."
The Mexican glanced covertly at his com-
panion, shrugged, and went back to admiring
the cape work of Senor Mundez from Madrid.
Norte Americanos were funny people, si.
The bull, a big red Minra, was bristling wth
bandilleros and bellowing his head off by this
time. Still the torero goaded him, allowing him
to rush so close that the wind of His passing
bent 'the cloth in his tight pants.
The crowd gasped, sighed, screamed. Youngsenoritas all but swooned from love of the great
torero
!
Then suddenly, just about the time the pica-
dores were tensing for the death thrust that
was coming, the bull changed tactics. With bis
ALL HUMORhead lowered, be charged. Bui instead of rush-
ing past, be hailed so abruptly that bis hooves
cut two valleys in the arena. Mundez, all set for
the rush, lost his stance
"Hi, hi!'1yelled the crowd, maddened by this
beautiful, unforeseen tactic.
Mundez swung his muleta as he swung his
body, to be set for the next rush the bull so
quickly began. But somehow the sword got
tangled in his eape. The bull's great horns
swiped past, hooking the eape.
Yee-i!M screamed the stands.
Mundez went over in a cloud of dust, then,
as the bull kept .galloping, he dragged on the
seat of his pants, arm caught in the twisted
eape. »
The pieadores rode furiously around the angry
bull, stabbing with lances, hurling insults, call-
ing the bull all sorts of names.
And at last Mundez worked \'rt>*> and scram-
bled to his feet. Ifis face was black with dust, -
his fine uniform grimy, and his cocked hat was
gone.
lie eyed the stands from which came hoots
now. The Mexican audience changes fast, and
it takes only a trifle to set loving hearts to
haling
But the bull wasn't finished. He came at the
confused fighter in a violent rush, swooped him
UP on long, curving horns and tossed him fifteen
feet across the arena. There was a wild shout-
ing from the audience, a wild yelling from the
pieadores* who rode their horses into a nice
tangle, which included the bull. Mirtldcz. and a
couple of men on foot.
The dust cloud was so thick that. none of the
melee could be observed.
It was this moment that I he American com-
edian. Charley, chose for his grand entrance..
Yelling like a wild Indian, he vaulted over I he
railing and dashed toward the congested mass
of men and horses and bull.
-'"Out of the way, lugs!" he roared. "Let me
at that fiit cow!"
The tangle magically untangled. The horse-
men rode furiously for the walls. The men on
foot sprinted away. Mundez again dragged him-
self to his feet, wavering and groggy. The bull
backed off. looking oddly surprised*
From somewhere the American had procured
a derby hat which he now clapped on his head.
COMICSIn bis hand was a crooked walking stiek. He'waved the stick at the crowd and shouted,
"Wanta see how it's done in Brooklyn?'
Again the stands changed heart. Here was a
wonderful diversion. Forgotten was poor Mun-
dez. who limped across the arena with head
hanging. Forgotten were old hates and displeas-
ures and government taxes.
"Yipp-ce!" shouted the American. "Come on,
you red ox!" .
The bull hesitated a moment, wondering what
was facing him. He had had time to get his
second wind. So this fellow wanted trouble!
With head lowered close to the ground, he
went into a fancy charge. Charley, the come-
dian, stood his ground. Even the most hard-
hearted fan gasped at this audacity. Why, the
crazy hombre did not have even a ^capc, let
alone a sword
!
As the bull swept up, Charley took off his
derby, doffed it to the prominent personages*
box, and sailed it directly into the face of the
mad bull
This strange thing halted him. He bellowed,
pawed and advanced a step, tentatively. Here
was a new one, even for him. He snorted, but
the fellow in front of him still stood. The bull
threw his head around, tossing the hat, which
had landed on a horn, almost at the feet of
Charley. Charley stooped and tossed the hat
back on.
Now!
The bull came with a rush. The six thousand
throats in the st;mds gave forth their best. This
time there would he fireworks'
But Charley merely stepped slightly out of
the path of the charge, stuck out his stiek, trip-
peel the bull, who went head firs! into the dust
and lay still, wind knocked out.
Charley casually marched forward, dusted a
place on the bull's withers with his hankie,
and calmly sat down with both feet on the bull's
nose.
When the noise had died down in the stands
and the police had stopped a dozen friendly
fights, Charley got. up, adjusted his derby and
marched out of the ring swinging his stiek.
The bull got to his feet slowly, looked after
bis vanquisher and shook his great head won-
dering!y.
