"Handies"

Sweeping the U. S. last week was a simple-minded new game called "Handies" or "Dillies." Kansas City attributed the game to University of Missouri undergraduates, who declined the credit. Cleveland believed it originated from some antics in the film Millions in the Air. Manhattan guessed that it sprang from the sign language used in broadcasting studios. The Chicago American was offering daily prizes for new "Handies." Fox Movietone issued a "Handles" film.

To play "Handies" a person attempts by manual manipulation to portray a familiar phrase, title, personage or situation. The more extravagantly far-fetched the conception, the better the "Handy." Observers are not expected to be able to identify the improvisation but to be ready to return an even more fantastic one.
