Movie Star Invents Automatic Fag Vender Like Camera

ACTORS can do other things besides act.

Lew Cody, for instance, blossomed out as a full-fledged inventor when he applied for a patent on an ingenious cigarette vender patterned after a movie camera. One turn of the handle on the camera and a cigarette is ejected from the lens barrel, as demonstrated in the photo at the left.
