Everybody Loves A Fat Man? Not So, Says This Hefty One
Hollywood—(U.P.)-Comic Romo Vincent said today it's not true that everybody loves a fat man.
"They love to make fun of us, that's all," the hefty comedian sighed. "They poke us in the stomach. . . laugh when we get stuck in telephone booths. . . and sneer when we eat a big meal."
Vincent crunches down at 86, stands, and measures around his middle. "I don't mind being fat," he said. "With me, it's a living.
"But I feel awfully sorry for the rest of the fat men. They tell me all their troubles and it's a pitiful way to five.
way to live.
"Practically every fat man in the country would give anything to be thin."
Every one that is, except Vincent Those 260 pounds are his trademark. Every time Hollywood needs a gent who's roly poly and funny, too, they call him up.
Right now he's making "Hurricane Island" in the daytime and headlining the floor show at the Biltmore bowl at night. The place has metted off 10 pounds—only nobody notices it but Vincent.
"I'm fat and 40," he said. "And every guy you've ever heard about fat men applies to me. I've gotten stuck in phone booths. I’ve
broken beds . . . and I've squashed
antique chairs.
"I have to have all my clothes custom made. This costs extra. Same way with shoes. Ordinary heels won't carry 260 pounds around. I have to pay $32 to get the right kind of support.
Getting a fat man dressed is only half the battle, Vincent said. Next he's got to worry about a place to sleep and a place to wash and a car to drive.
"My car seat has to be fixed so it will seat 6 inches farther than the ordinary seat. Otherwise, I can't get my stomach in under the wheel. Then I have to have a six-inch block on the gas pedal so I can reach it."
Outside of all these troubles, Vincent's a happy fat man.
"Except for one other thing," he added. "All my life I will be envious of people who can cross their legs."
