mates and one another with a similar team spirit. Adele readily admits Jane is the better bowler, as Jane’s average score this year of 145 just tops her 135, but Adele makes up for it with her golf game. “She’s better than I am, but I walk nine holes,” Adele said. The two have been bowling together since their high school days. They took breaks from the sport when they had children, but they said they started back up again in the late 1950s and bowled alongside professionals like Donna Myers, who was later inducted
into the Summit County Sports Hall of Fame. Lorie Anderson, Screw Ballz team captain, attributes their first-place ranking in the league largely to the sisters. “They’re kicking my butt, and they do it on a regular basis,” Anderson said. “And they keep us in stitches every week. I love it.” On top of competing in state bowling tournaments, Adele and Jane also dabbled in sports like basketball and tennis. “In our family, her and I were the tomboys,” Adele said. “We snuck out of the house while our other two sisters did the housework.” Their tenacious alliance followed them to adulthood, where their bond blossomed even beyond sports. The sisters married brothers in a joint wedding on a snowy February day in 1947. After that, the four

The Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy tells the story of one of America’s most beloved clowns.
Laugh it up at the Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy BY TERRY TURNER
Costumes Red Skelton wore for his most popular characters, including Junior: The Mean Widdle Kid, are on display in the museum. 10 | Prime | www.siouxlandprime.com
VINCENNES, Ind. – Richard “Red” Skelton was born on July 18, 1913, in the small town of Vincennes, about 130 miles southwest of Indianapolis. He was the son of a former circus clown turned grocer and a cleaning lady. At the tender age of 10, Skelton left home to join a traveling medicine show and quickly discovered he loved to make people laugh. That love would one day propel him to the top of the enter-
tainment industry. The Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy tells the story of that amazing ride. Around 1927 Red began performing in vaudeville as part of a burlesque show where he honed his comedic skills. Over the years he performed with singers, dancers, acrobats, magicians and jugglers in various traveling shows across the country. While performing in Kansas City in 1930 he met Edna Marie Stilwell, who, like Red, left home
at an early age. They married a short time later, and she became his vaudeville partner and later his chief writer and manager. Red debuted on Broadway and radio in 1937 and in movies the following year. Edna negotiated a seven-year Hollywood contract for her husband in 1951 and that same year “The Red Skelton Hour” began on NBC. The show was very popular and for the next two decades was in the top 20 both on NBC

and CBS. It was during this time Red created his most famous characters including Clem Kaddiddlehopper, George Appleby, and the seagulls, Gertrude and Heathcliffe. The Red Skelton Museum of American Comedy has 3,500 square feet of displays and interactive exhibits dedicated to Red and his long career. Among the huge collection are scrapbooks filled with letters and memorabilia from Red’s life and comedy career. Costumes he wore for his most beloved characters, including Freddie the Freeloader, Clem Kaddidlehopper, San Fernando Red, Sheriff Dead-Eye and Cauliflower McPugg, are also on display. While touring the museum visitors can watch a short film with highlights of Red’s movie and television career. One interactive exhibit features items used to create sound effects for radio. The exhibit shows how running your finger over a comb could create the sound of a cricket and blowing through a straw in water could

puterized makeup to the image. Once done the makeup stays on the image even as the visitor moves around. Red’s Stage allows visitors to perform slapstick and pratfalls just like Red would do against a backdrop of Red performing one of his signature falls. There’s also a green wall where visitors can perform in front of a camera against a changing backdrop. First and foremost Red considered himself a clown but he was also a talented artist. Many of his subjects were clowns like himself but he also painted landscapes. One wall in the museum is dedicated to those paintings. His easel, paints and chair are also on display. Although Red Skelton provided his audiences with laughter, his own life wasn’t
always happy. He went through two divorces, and his son Richard died at 9 years old. But his list of accomplishments in the field of entertainment is amazing. He performed in traveling tent shows and vaudeville where he honed his comedy skills. He was a star on both radio and television and made over 50 motion pictures. Red authored over 4,000 ideas and short stories as well as full-length books. He composed more than 3,000 musical melodies and symphonies that were played and recorded by some of the world’s most famous musicians and orchestras. Red Skelton died at the age of 84 of pneumonia in Rancho Mirage, California, on Sept. 17, 1997. He is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

Remembering Charlie Chan films
I
love mysteries, and some of my favorites are by Earl Deer Biggers and his creation Charlie Chan. Biggers created the character of the Chinese detective in 1925. At the time most Chinese characters in movies and books were sinister villains who constantly smoked opium. Charlie Chan was a departure from the stereotype and was an honest, Terry Turner hard-working fam- turnert185@outlook.com ily man who could solve the most complex of mysteries. I believe my first introduction to the famous Chinese detective was
through reruns of his movies on TV back when I was a kid. It was much later when I bought the books. The books and movies are quite different but both were good in their own way. Movies featuring the Chinese detective began in 1929 with George Kuwa starring in a serial, and those movies were made during a time when parts for Asian actors were few and far between. The choice of actors for the lead role in the Charlie Chan series that I was familiar with reflects that trend. The first actor to play Chan was Warner Oland, who was not even remotely Chinese. He was born in Sweden. His first film as Charlie Chan was in 1931 in “Charlie Chan Carries On” for Fox

thing they’re not has not been limited to the Charlie Chan movies. There was a series of movies featuring a detective named Mr. Wong played by the almost 6-foottall Boris Karloff. Makeup in his case didn’t help much. Another similar detective series titled Mr. Moto starred Peter Lorre as another Chinese detective. Peter Lorre playing a Chinese detective I can somewhat understand, but Boris Karloff?
Films. Oland made 16 Chan films for Fox studios (later 20th Century Fox) until his death in 1938. Sidney Toler, another obvious Caucasian, took over the reins as the Chinese detective through 11 more adventures at 20th Century Fox and an additional 11 films at Monogram Pictures until his death in 1947. I think I like Toler best as Chan. The idea of using makeup to change actors to appear as some-
