Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | December 4, 1929 issue

At the moment artist Joe Fluttner of Los Angeles, California entrances the author. He sits in the center of the daily pictorial display and his right to belong among the curious and strange heroes and heroines is explained in the following line: Fluttner of Los Angeles can balance a dozen eggs on end, fresh eggs in fifteen minutes. Possibly Fluttner's eminence may be explained on the ground of lack of competition. Millions of egg balancers are, perhaps, born to live and die unknown and go down to nameless graves. Upon many tombstones it might be written: "Here lies one who could have gone far in egg balancing but for the fact that he never tried."
