AMERICAN GIANT, FAT WOMAN, AND MIDGET IN NEW TALKING PICTURE
The talking production, “Illusion,” has in its cast a giant seven feet four inches tall; a fat woman weighing 4001 b., and a little woman who is but three feet eleven inches tall and weighs only 451 b. Albert Wolffe is the giant. He and his brother, Fred, are the same height. They were born in Colorado and have no explanation for their extreme size unless it be the altitude of the Rocky Mountains in their native State. Anna Magduder is the fat woman. She is five feet eleven inches tall, and weighs just one-fifth of a ton. Harriet Spiker, the midget, is a perfect miniature. In fact, she has never exhibited herself before the public until this opportunity to break into motion pictures knocked at her door. They are employed in a circus' sequence of “Illusion,” which features Charles (Buddy) Rogers and Nancy Carroll.
