"Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean".
The name Jack Sprat was used of people of small stature in the sixteenth century. This rhyme was an English proverb from at least the mid-seventeenth century. It appeared in John Clarke's collection of sayings in 1639 in the form:
Jack will eat not fat, and Jull doth love no leane.
Yet betwixt them both they lick the dishes cleane.
The saying entered the canon of English nursery rhymes when it was printed in Mother Goose's Melody around 1765, but it may have been adopted for use with children much earlier

John Hartford 'Jack" Hoxie (1885–1965) was an American rodeo performer and film actor whose career was most prominent in the silent film era of the 1910s through the 1930s. Hoxie is best recalled for his roles in Westerns and rarely strayed from the genre.
John Hartford 'Jack' Hoxie was born in 1885 in Kingfisher Creek in the Indian Territory (now the state of Oklahoma). Hoxie was the son of a veterinarian father, Bart 'Doc' Hoxie, and a half–Nez Perce mother (some reports list her as Cherokee), Matilda E. Hoxie (née Quick). Bart was killed in a horse accident just weeks before Jack's birth. After his father's death he and his mother moved to Northern Idaho where, at an early age, Jack became a working cowboy and ranch hand. Matilda married a rancher and horse trader named Calvin Scott Stone. The family then relocated to Boise, where Jack worked as a packer for a US Army fort in the area, continuing to hone his skill as a horseback rider while competing in rodeos. In 1905, the 20-years-old Jack married Pearl Gage. The marriage lasted only a few months before the couple divorced. In 1909 he met performer Dick Stanley and joined his Wild West show. He performed as bronc rider in the show. It was during this period that Jack met and married his second wife, Hazel Panting, who was a Western trick rider with the outfit. According to IMDb, he had his first film role in the Western Ridin' Romance (James Young Deer, 1910) for Pathé Exchange. However, it remained for years a one-off role. Hoxie continued to tour with circuit rodeos until 1913. Then he was approached to perform in the short Western The Tragedy of Big Eagle Mine, produced by Kalem. This time his acting was the start of a continuous, highly prolific career. Now billing himself as Hart Hoxie (a moniker he would use until 1919), he would continue working through the 1910s in popular Western shorts, often in small but well-received roles. First, he did in 1913-1914 a series of Western shorts at Kalem's Glendale premises in California, which were often directed by J.P. McGowan. Initially, Hoxie was the star, but his female co-actor Helen Holmes gradually increased her prominence. In 1914-1915 Hoxie became a supporting actor in Holmes's serial The Hazards of Helen. After Kalem, Hoxie worked in 1915-1916 at Bison (part of Universal) and Universal itself, returning to Kalem in 1916 for various supporting parts in the Western thriller series The Girl from Frisco, starring Marin Sais. Afterward, various Kalem films followed.
In 1918 Jack Hoxie had his first starring role in a feature, in the Universal production The Wolf and His Mate by Edward LeSaint. LeSaint also gave him first billing in Nobody's Wife. In these films Hoxie started to use his name Jack Hoxie, (as vintage posters show, but Wikipedia and IMDb deny). In 1919, after appearing in approximately 35 films, he was cast in the starring role in the Paul Hurst-directed Lightning Bryce serials as the main character, Sky Bryce. It was during this time that he met and married his third wife, actress and frequent co-star Marin Sais, after his divorce from Hazel Panting. Although he rarely strayed from the Western film genre, several notable exceptions include his role as Perrone in the historical drama The Dumb Girl of Portici (1916), starring Anna Pavlova; a role in the epic drama film Joan the Woman (Cecil B. DeMille, 1916). starring Geraldine Farrar; and his role as Sandusky in the drama Nan of Music Mountain (1917), starring Wallace Reid and Ann Little. Through the early 1920s, JHoxie became an extremely popular Western star and worked for such film companies as Ben Wilson Productions (distributed by Arrow Film) and Sunset Pictures. In 1923 Universal Pictures head Carl Laemmle put Hoxie under contract and soon his career was on par with that of other Western stars of the era: Art Acord, Harry Carey and Hoot Gibson. Hoxie appeared in such high-profile films as Where Is This West? (1923) with newcomer Mary Philbin and Universal's promotional film Hello, 'Frisco (1924), alongside such popular actors of the era as Jackie Coogan, Norman Kerry, Barbara La Marr, Antonio Moreno, Anna Q. Nilsson, Bebe Daniels, and Rin Tin Tin. The film was designed to showcase Universal's roster of its most popular actors. Hoxie, often atop his horses Fender and Dynamite, would star alongside such actresses as Marceline Day, Alice Day, Helen Holmes, Louise Lovely, Lottie Pickford, and Fay Wray in Westerns throughout the silent era. Also, during this period, Jack's younger half-brother Al Stone began to appear with him in films. Al would eventually become a successful actor in the Western genre after changing his name to Al Hoxie and appearing in a series of films by actor/director J.P. McGowan.
In 1926 Laemmle and Universal chose Jack Hoxie to star as Buffalo Bill Cody in Metropolitan Pictures' The Last Frontier, co-starring William Boyd. The film would prove enormously successful. In 1927, however, Hoxie became dissatisfied with his contract at Universal and refused to renegotiate for another stint at the studio. He would continue throughout the late 1920s making films with lower-rank film studios. He made his last silent film, Forbidden Trail, in 1929 before pursuing further work in circuit rodeos, carnivals, and the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch Wild West Show. During the 1930s Hoxie made a brief comeback in films after signing a contract with low-budget studio Majestic Pictures. The films, however, did little to revive his acting career and he once again hit the rodeo circuit. His last film appearance would be in 1933's Trouble Busters with Lane Chandler, who had appeared alongside Hoxie in a number of earlier films. Hoxie eventually divorced and married his fourth wife, Dixie Starr. The couple briefly operated the Broken Arrow Ranch, a dude ranch in Hereford, Arizona. After a fire consumed the ranch, Hoxie returned to Wild West shows, often billed as the "Famous Western Screen Star". Hoxie performed throughout the 1940s and well into the 1950s before finally making his last public appearance as a performer in 1959 for the Bill Tatum Circus. Hoxie divorced Starr and married his fifth wife, Bonnie Avis Showalter, and the couple retired to a small ranch in Arkansas, then later moved to his mother Matilda's old homestead in Oklahoma. In his later years, Hoxie developed leukemia, and he died March 28, 1965, in Elkhart, Kansas, at the age of 80. He was interred at the Willowbar Cemetery in Keyes, Oklahoma with the epitaph "A Star in Life - A Star in Heaven".

Jack Pickford (1896-1933) was a Canadian-born American actor, film director, and producer. He was the younger brother of Mary Pickford. While Jack also appeared in numerous films as the 'All American boy next door' and was a fairly popular performer, he was overshadowed by his sister's success. Also, by the late 1920s, his career had begun to decline due to alcohol, drugs, scandals, and chronic depression.
Jack Pickford was born John Charles Smith in 1896 in Toronto, Ontario, to John Charles Smith, an English immigrant odd-job man of Methodist background, and Charlotte Hennessy Smith, who was Irish Catholic. He was called Jack as a child. His alcoholic father left the family while Pickford was a young child. This incident left the family impoverished. Out of desperation, Charlotte allowed Jack and his two sisters Gladys and Lottie to appear onstage, beginning with Gladys, the eldest. This proved a good source of income and, by 1900, the family had relocated to New York City and the children were acting in plays across the United States. Due to the work, the family was constantly separated until 1910 when Gladys signed with Biograph Studios. By this time, his sister Gladys Smith had been transformed into Mary Pickford (Marie was her middle name, and Pickford an old family name). Following suit, the Smiths changed their stage names to 'Pickford'. Soon after signing with Biograph, Mary secured jobs for all the family, including the then-14-year-old Jack. When the Biograph Company headed West to Hollywood, only Mary was to go until Jack pleaded to join the company as well. Much to Mary's protest, Charlotte threw him on the train as it left the station. The company arrived in Hollywood, where Jack acted in bit parts during the stay. Mary soon became a well-known star, and by 1917 had signed a contract for $1 million with First National Pictures. As part of her contract, Mary saw to it that her family was brought along, giving the now-named Jack Pickford a lucrative contract with the company as well. By the time he signed with First National, Pickford had played bit parts in 95 shorts and films. Though he was considered an excellent actor, Jack Pickford was seen as someone who never lived up to his potential. In 1917, he starred in one of his first major roles as Pip in the adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations (Robert G. Vignola, Paul West, 1917) as well as the title role in Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer (William Desmond Taylor, 1917) and the follow-up Huck and Tom (William Desmond Taylor, 1918).
Most of his films, especially those in the late 1910s, were both commercial and critical successes, making a highly regarded name for himself. Jack Pickford's image was that of the All-American boy, with his sister being 'America’s Sweetheart'. In early 1918, after the United States entered World War I, Jack Pickford joined the United States Navy as an enlisted sailor and was stationed at the Third Naval District in Manhattan, New York. Using the famous Pickford name, he soon became involved in a scheme that allowed rich young men to pay bribes to avoid military service, as well as reportedly procuring young women for officers. The scandal almost got him court-martialed, but with the help of his family, he was exonerated. The others involved in the scandal were court-martialed, sentenced to up to three years in the brig and dishonorably discharged. Pickford returned to making films. Despite his 'boy next door' image, Pickford's private life remained one of drinking and drug abuse, domestic violence, and womanising, culminating in the severe alcoholism that resulted in his early death. In the early days of Hollywood, movie studios were able to cover up almost all of their stars' misbehaviour, but within the Hollywood crowd, Jack Pickford's behind-the-scenes activities made him a legend in his own time. Pickford met actress and Ziegfeld girl Olive Thomas at a beach cafe on the Santa Monica Pier. Thomas was just as wild as Pickford. Pickford and Thomas eloped in 1916 in New Jersey. None of their family was present and their only witness was Thomas Meighan. The couple had no children of their own, though, in 1920, they adopted Olive's then-six-year-old nephew when his mother died. Although by most accounts Olive was the love of Pickford's life, the marriage was stormy and filled with highly charged conflict, followed by lavish making up through the exchange of expensive gifts. For many years the Pickfords had intended to vacation together and with their marriage on the rocks, the couple decided to take a second honeymoon. In August 1920, the pair traveled to Paris, hoping to combine a vacation with some film preparations. The couple went out for a night of entertainment and partying at the famous bistros in the Montparnasse Quarter of Paris. They returned to their room in the Hôtel Ritz around 3:00 a.m. It was rumored Thomas may have taken cocaine that night, though it was never proven. She was intoxicated and tired, and took a large dose of mercury bichloride, a common item for bathroom cleaning. She was taken to the American Hospital in the Paris suburb of Neuilly, where Pickford, together with his former brother-in-law Owen Moore, remained at her side until she succumbed to the poison a few days later. Rumors arose that she had either tried to commit suicide or had been murdered. A police investigation followed, as well as an autopsy, and Thomas's death was ruled accidental.
Jack Pickford married two more times. In 1922, he married Marilyn Miller, a celebrated Broadway dancer and former Ziegfeld girl, at his sister and brother-in-law's famed home Pickfair. By most accounts, it was an abusive marriage due to Pickford's drug abuse and alcoholism. They separated in 1926 and Miller was granted a French divorce in November 1927. Some of his better films during this time included The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come (Wallace Worsley, 1920), The Man Who Had Everything (Alfred E. Green, 1920), and Waking Up the Town (James Cruze, 1925). By 1923, his roles had gone from several a year to one. In 1928, he finished his last film, acting as Clyde Baxter in the part-talking gangster film, Gang War (Bert Glennon, 1928). Through the years, he dabbled in screenwriting and directing. He was given co-director credit for a couple of his sister Mary Pickford's films: Little Lord Fauntleroy (Alfred E. Green, Jack Pickford, 1921) and Through the Back Door (Alfred E. Green, Jack Pickford, 1921). However, he never pursued either form further. Pickford's final marriage was to Mary Mulhern, age 22, and a former Ziegfeld girl, whom he married in 1930. Within three months Pickford grew increasingly volatile towards Mulhern. After two years Mulhern left Pickford, claiming he had mistreated her throughout the marriage. She was granted an interlocutory divorce in February 1932 which had yet to be finalised at the time of Pickford's death. In 1932, Pickford visited his sister Mary at Pickfair. According to Mary, he looked ill and emaciated; his clothes were hanging on him as if he were a clothes hanger. Jack Pickford, at age 36, died at the American Hospital of Paris in 1933. The cause for his death was listed as "progressive multiple neuritides which attacked all the nerve centers". This was believed due to his alcoholism. Mary Pickford arranged for his body to be returned to Los Angeles, where he was interred in the private Pickford plot at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale. All in all, Pickford had appeared in more than 130 films between 1908 and 1928. For his contribution to the film industry, Jack Pickford has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1523 Vine Street.

My older son, Jack, has been on the same little league baseball team, the Bears, since he was in pre-K, and five original teammates remained when they played their very last-ever game on the hottest day of summer so far. The game ended in a tie, but that didn't matter much to these guys, who were just trying to savor every last moment of playing together one final time.
