Episode 69: Belly Up by Sherri Faye © 2014

On her pessimistic days, she hoped she would be hit by a falling piano and never have to write another word.” ― Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain, Bass Ackwards and Belly Up

Simply Fodder For Your Next Cocktail PartyStarring: Gill and Finley With: Shady Cat & Paisley Paws

© 2014 IMAGINEnation by Sherri Faye imaginenationbysherrifaye.com [email protected] Still stay tuned...

From the murky depths of their imaginations, Gill & Finley quickly adopt a life saving position, playing dead...

~ The Clever Fish and Cool, yet hungry, Cats of Northfield ~

Well, whaddya think, baby?I ain’t buyin‘ it, Shady.

Somethin’ stinks, and it‘s not the �sh. And why am I

doin’ the dirty work?

Do ya think they’re buyin’ it

Finley?

Quit yer yammerin’ Gill! What I think is that I’m ge�in’

a stinkin’ sunburn.

Again with the dead fish... Hey, now! I ain’t done with this theme yet. I have to take every cartoonist opportunity humanly possible to draw “x’s for eyes and flies buzzing about”. The idiom ‘belly up’ has a few applications. The most obvious reference is to dead fish, which typically float belly up (due to bloating - not of the ego - though I suppose it is possible). ‘Belly up’ can also be used in reference to pretty much any dead body, be it fish, cockroach, human (some of whom are cockroaches, I’m jez sayin’), and so on. This simple colloquialism may also refer to being broke, or going out of business, e.g., “The place went belly up.” Which can be the result of a cockroach infestation, or human error (again, sometimes one and the same... but, I digress). When couched in the phrase ‘belly up to the bar’, it can be applied to pretty much anything you can get next to, abdomen first... the bar, the counter, the poker table, the window sill, the roach motel (if the trap fits...). The ‘Belly Up’ is also a bar and music venue in Solana Beach, California - probably my favorite use of ‘belly up’. I frequented that joint when living in SoCal, caught some great acts, and good beer. I met Jason Mraz there. He wasn’t performing, just chillin’. Nice guy, clearly not belly up, nor bloated in any way, and definitely not a cockroach.

Exhibit dates Aug. 12-Sept. 27, Opening Reception Aug. 15, 5-7pmCarlander Family Gallery: Ann and Andrew Judkins – Ann is

fascinated with the subtle coloration, texture and peculiarities of the Lake Superior rocks, worn into softened, simple shapes by the power of water and wind. Throughout this series of drawings in crayon, rocks are depicted realistically, but placement, manipulation and distortion go beyond realism into surrealism. Laws of physics are challenged or altered in her rock world. Andrew is a painter, writer and composer from North Mankato. He received a BA in Studio Art from Gustavus Adolphus College in 2002 and an MFA in Painting from The Savannah College of Art and Design in 2008.

PUB 31 offers region yet another music (and dining) venueFaribault has added a new dining experience with the opening of Alexander’s Supper Club at 31 3rd St. NE (formerly Monte’s). Along with a full fine dining menu, patrons can enjoy live music on the lower level at Pub 31 – see happenings listings for some really great sounds. Alexander’s opens at 11am Wednesday-Sunday with kitchen hours until 10pm (11pm on Friday and Saturday). The pub has the same hours but with a 3pm opening Wednesday-Friday. More at alexanderssupperclub.com.

A Field Guide for the Outdoor WriterLarry Gavin of Faribault says that good writing, any kind of writing, comes down to six key traits: ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency and con-ventions. With luck, the seventh will be publication. There is no better example of “creative nonfiction” than outdoor writ-ing. Gavin will lead a writing workshop at the Crossings at Carn-egie in Zumbrota. He will examine the traits and offer practical tips about how one constructs an outdoor-inspired piece of writing in any genre. Attendees will write and develop strategies for making each of the traits come alive in written work; look at examples and discuss them in the context of the traits and discuss photography. The workshop is Saturday, Aug. 9, 9am-12pm. Cost is $20. Call 507/732-7616 to register.

Holliston comes to Northfield all the way from British Columbia.

Lions in NorthfieldNo, I am not writing about the Northfield Cannon Valley Lions Club. Nor am I writing about the St. Olaf Lion, logo of the college and former name of athletic teams before “Oles” took over.In August of 2007, I wrote a Historic Happenings column about two events that happened in August of 1915 and 1929 involving real lions in Northfield, one tragic and one not. I am revisiting that theme, in more detail. On Aug. 19, 1915, the Northfield Inde-pendent announced “Carnival Shows Draw Big Crowds. Many Clever and Interesting Performances to be Seen with Patterson Carnival Company, Now Exhibiting Here.” The scene was “the little triangle at the north end of West Water Street,” which was called “the gayest and most populous spot in Northfield.” It was “brilliantly lighted by electricity” with show people lending the tent city “an air of oriental enchantment.” The main show featured “a number of animal acts that are extremely clever.”The audience on the night of the 19th watched as bears lumbered through their paces. Then the lion tamer, known as Major Dumond, ushered the lions to their places on pedestals within the per-forming cage of the arena as they came in by way of a passageway from the adjoining wagons.What happened next was captured in the astonishing Northfield Independent headline on Aug. 26: “Tragic Death Palls Carnival Festivity…Lion Trainer with Patterson Shows Dies in Hospital, Following Battle with Lions in Cage. Tragedy Enacted Before Audience of 300 People.”Four of the lions had taken their places and the big male lion, Ro-meo, was entering when, according to some accounts, the sliding

door to the cage fell on his tail. Enraged, he attacked the trainer. Another story held by the carnival people was that Romeo had fallen off his pedestal, which made him excited and caused him to lash out and grab Dumond’s thigh with his giant teeth. Startled and in pain, Major Dumond struck a blow with his whip but the lion did not loosen his grip and threw the man to the floor. Two other lions then leaped from pedestals and attacked, one almost tearing off Dumond’s ear, the other seizing him by the throat and shoulder, “evidently trying to tear him to pieces,” according to the Northfield Independent. The Northfield News of Aug. 27 wrote that Dumond had “called

his lions by name, for a time holding them off by sheer animal control and nerve, but the sight of blood made them beyond control. His cries for help were agonizing, but the carnival employees and spectators were helpless. At the express command of Dumond, who preferred to rule by kindness instead of force, no firearms were kept in the tent.” Dumond had raised and trained all five lions.The horrified spectators ran for exits or crowded around the stage, unable to stop the carnage. Show attendants poked at the lions with long bars through the cage to no

avail. Finally, after several agonizing minutes, Patterson (the owner of the show) shot and killed Romeo with a revolver while other show people emptied chambers of .22 caliber rifles taken from a nearby shooting gallery at the other lions. The wounded lions finally released their victim and retreated to the corner of the cage. Dumond’s wife, Grace, part of another show act, became hysterical and fainted when told what had happened. They had been mar-ried just weeks earlier in Minneapolis.Although the trainer was rushed to the North-field hospital, Dumond died at 3:25 in the morning. The attending doctor later said that reports that Dumond had been disembow-eled by the lions (as in the Milwaukee Journal of Aug. 20) were not true. Dumond died from loss of blood.

Later on that Friday, Aug. 20, townspeople and carnival members formed a funeral procession and, led by a band playing hymns, marched from

the show grounds to the undertaker for a service. Dumond’s remains were sent to his parents for burial in Nabbs, Indiana. Dumond’s real name was Frank Lewis and the newlywed was 32 years old.In a letter dated Aug. 23, printed in the Northfield News of Aug. 27, the Lewis family gave their thanks to the citizens of Northfield “for your kindness and sympathies shown in our recent trouble” and for the “beautiful floral offerings.”Dumond may have had a premonition of his demise. The show

people said that shortly before the performance, Dumond and his wife had witnessed a little dog being run over and killed by a car and he told her, “You saw what happened to that dog. That’s what will happen to me some day.” Dumond had also commented that the lions had seemed to dislike his change from a khaki to a blue uniform.Major Dumond was an experienced lion trainer of great reputation. I found a reference to Dumond’s performance in the Waterloo Semi Weekly Courier of July 30, 1909. He was listed as a “feature attraction” with “trained wild animals” and his act was presented as “the fight for life of Major Dumond in the iron bound den of the untamable lion, Mayo.” Unfortunately, six years later in 1915, it was to be a “fight for life” which he would lose to the lions in Northfield.A much happier lion tale happened on another August day, on Aug. 10 in 1929. Leo, the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lion, paid Northfield a visit on his world tour. The lion, who was famous for roaring from inside a wreath of film strips at the beginning of MGM movies, made a stop at the Grand Theater. The Northfield News of Aug. 9 heralded his appearance in an article detailing the trappings of this feline celebrity.The motion picture company spent $100,000 on the fleet of mo-tor cars and truck of the caravan transporting Leo. The article said that Leo’s huge, motorized speed truck “has been described as the most magnificent and palatial vehicle ever designed for any animal.” It was 24 feet overall, with Leo’s private cage occupy-ing 13 feet. Within the golden bars of the cage, “Leo’s comfort and health is assured by white tile floor and walls, electric lights, sanitary watering and feeding troughs, unbreakable glass sides three feet high, and canvas drops that can be lowered in inclem-ent weather.”

Two other cars in the entourage matched “the magnificence of the one in which Leo rides.” One had the business office of his manager who was conduct-ing the tour. This office had typewriter, desks, chairs, files and all office accesso-ries. The third one transported the huge 57-note calliope, “the largest musical instrument of its kind ever constructed.” So we know that music was part of whatever performance Leo put on at the Grand 85 years ago.At least five lions have been used as the lion logo since it was first employed for Goldwyn Pictures Corporation, formed in 1916. It became a trademark when Goldwyn merged with Metro Pictures

and Louis B. Mayer to become MGM in 1924. Publicist Howard Dietz is often credited with designing the original lion mascot as a tribute to the athletic team, the Lions, of his alma mater, Columbia University. Credit has also been given to Paramount Studios art director Lionel S. Reiss. At any rate, Dietz was cer-tainly responsible for “exploitation ballyhoos” (an advertising term meaning stirring up interest by sensational methods) for the newly created MGM which resulted in Leo’s arrival in Northfield in all his glory.From 1924 to 1954 MGM dominated the motion picture indus-try, even through the depths of the Depression as people sought escape in films. And Dietz knew how to promote the brand. From March of 1925 to March of 1926, MGM and the U.S. Tire Co. ran the world’s first trackless transcontinental train from New York to Los Angeles, publicizing MGM, tires and development of a national highway system. The vehicle looked like a locomo-tive train, with engine, cab and dining/sleeping car, but operated like a truck. It had two motors which enabled a top speed of 35 mph. The train toured Canada and then was shipped to Europe to continue on a world tour, starting in Great Britain in June of 1926, finally reaching 33 countries in four years.

Leo the Lion, shown in this early MGM trademark, made a stop at the Grand Theater in Northfield on Aug. 10, 1929.

A clearly nervous Greta Garbo was photographed with Leo the Lion as part of an MGM publicity blitz for the young actress who was brought over from Sweden in 1925. Photos were taken at a lion farm by sports photographer Don Gillum in the spring of 1926, including this famous one. The second Leo the Lion, known as Jackie (photo on right), was the first lion whose roar was heard during MGM’s first sound production, White Shadows in the South Seas, in 1928. This photo may be from that recording session.


contract, including $100,000 if Leo escaped his cage and $300,000 if he injured anyone. Luncheons and receptions were held at the National Press Club with Army and Navy representatives and it was noted that “Thursday Leo was host to inmates of the National Zoological Park with meat as gifts.” An Eastern tour followed with his trainer, Capt. Frank Phillips, and a four-man staff. On Dec. 29, the trade paper cheered that 1928 would be noted for

In September of 1927, the lionizing (if you will) of Lindbergh’s cross-Atlantic flight led MGM to try to fly their lion Leo from San Diego to New York in a cage right behind the cockpit of pilot Martin Jensen. The overloaded plane (which included a 350-pound lion, remember) got only as far as Arizona when it crashed in the area called Hell’s Gate Wilderness near Payson. Both lion and aviator survived, but Jensen had to walk for days for help, leaving Leo with some water and a couple sandwiches. The successful return to rescue the lion provoked extraordinary, undreamed-of publicity for MGM. An account by Arizona writer Gail Hearne says that a rescue party made up of local cowboys plus the animal trainer and Jensen hiked into the remote canyon with a sled and two teams of mules to pull the caged lion out. The lion had been waiting six days in that cage for sustenance and rescue. By the time they got him back to Payson, he had roared so much, he couldn’t roar anymore. The steep canyon of the crash is now named Leo Canyon. (The wrecked plane, by the way, was finally salvaged by Scott Gifford of Prescott, Arizona, in 1991.) The Leo that visited Northfield in 1929 was most likely the second MGM lion, called Jackie. (The first Leo, named Slats, was used for MGM between 1924 and 1928.) Jackie supposedly was captured as a cub in the Nubian desert of the Sudan. He was the first lion whose roar was heard by way of a gramophone record-ing during MGM’s first sound production, White Shadows in the South Seas (1928). Jackie’s roar appeared in all the black and white MGM films from 1928-1956. You can see Jackie during the opening credits of The Wizard of Oz (1939) and he performed in movies, including those starring Tarzan. It is said that he earned $1,000 a week.The tour which brought Leo the Lion (aka Jackie) to Northfield had its inception in 1928 with the announcement on June 9 in the trade paper The Exhibitors Herald and Moving Picture World that a tour of the world was planned for Leo the Lion. By July of 1928, the Trackless Train tour had reached South America and Australia. Now Leo the Lion would start his tour in Washing-ton, D.C., in July that same year with a million dollar insurance

Leo the Lion starts the world tour in July of 1928 which will lead him to Northfield in August of 1929, as recorded in the Exhibitors Herald and Moving Picture World from July 7, 1928. At left and inset, Leo’s trainer, Frank W. Phillips.

They hoped to try to determine origin by taking samples of both the remains of Leo in N.J. and of the hide which was made into a rug and somehow ended up at the McPherson Museum in Kan-sas. I could not find the result. But the Phifer estate was auctioned off in 2012 and the property was sold to a Leo the Lion fan so it is hoped Leo can rest in peace after his adventurous life. On his world tour, after the plane crash, he survived two train wrecks, a flood in Mississippi, an earthquake in California and a fire. Leo was truly a cat with nine lives, and it is a fascinating “historic hap-pening” that he visited Northfield during one of those lives.Thanks to Jamie Stanley, Northfield Public Library reference librar-ian, and Carol Donelan, chair and associate professor of Cinema and Media Studies at Carleton College, for assistance with this story.

“shadows of the screen drama” finding their voice and for MGM’s Leo the Lion emulating the globe-trotting trackless train. At the end of the tour, one report said that Leo had been viewed by 50 million Americans.On the Internet, stories of the original MGM lion Slats and second lion Jackie seem to have intermingled. And, contrary to some Internet rumors, none of the MGM lions ever killed their trainers, as was the fate of Major Dumond in 1915. Volney Phifer, who was the first trainer of Slats and Jackie, outlived them by decades, dying in 1974. Volney buried one of the lions on his 13-acre farm in Gillette, New Jersey, where he boarded animals used on Broadway.In June of 2011, according to mycentraljersey.com, a film crew from Ireland came to Gillette to do an investigatory documentary to try to prove that Leo was actually born in the Dublin Zoo.

This movie poster from 1928 announces the personal appearance of Leo the Lion at towns throughout his highly publicized world tour which brought him to Northfield on Aug. 10, 1929. A year later, in August of 1930, the tour took him to Washington state, where his entourage was welcomed by the Tacoma Lions Club and city officials. Mayor Melvin G. Tennent, second from left, gave the official welcome. Photo Courtesy of Tacoma Public Library, G64.1-127
