I ookit, right here, clause nine, that Nathan Burkan put in for me, says — "And that's how I get my way. Now, you know I ain't a bit temperamental, but some of these guys act like a lot of A.K.'s. But we got a picture. Yes, indeed. And lookit what they've done for my appearance this year. Hand me those stills. Lookit, here's me last year. And here I am this year — no, that's Barrymore. My error. But say, here I am, look at that hair, them eyes, those nose. Who is this guy Novarro? B-b-b-boy, you ain't heard nothin' yet. I use to make up with burnt cork. A couple of smears and there I was. This fancy picture make-up is the nuts. Gee, stuff to give you sheiky hair, stuff to give the eyes that come-hither look, lip rouge. Gosh, I feel like putting one hand on my hip and shrieking, "A wench's curse on such as you. " Don't tell me the camera don't lie. This year I'm a handsome juvenile.

I've been in more jernts than Volstead ever padlocked. Honest, I'm beginning to feel like Texas Guinan. You know they got a, piece of business about a song-writer in the picture, and they got it all wrong. No real song-writer would act that way. A songwriter is the biggest pest in the world and — but anyway I told 'em, I said, "Say, you need a couple of titles in there to fix up that sequence." And I gave 'em a couple of titles. In the matter of dress as well as in the matter of posture, it's apparent that Agnes Franey believes in keeping herself posted GREATEST PREFER V *«. M>S AN6e„ LIMIT60* ft, % ......
