38 Photo-Play Journal I o tell the tnuth, U is not Edgar and Freddie who are represented photographically on this page. The kids are really Johnny Jones and Buddy Messenger in real life, and the swimmin' hole is a pond dug in the soft earth near the Goldwyn Studios, where Johnny and Buddy sneak off on warm days after they have cast aside their Edgar and Freddie roles, and incidentally all the clothes they have been wearing. Birthday bathing suits are the rule, and only ivhen the "still" camera man comes around is there a suggestion of motion pictures. For, after all. they're just kids, before the camera and array from it "Hey, Eddie!" "C'mon, let's do a belly flop this time I" "Hey, there, you! Quitcher throwin' water in my face!" Zip! they're off, plowing through the clear water of the old swimmin' pool, divin' off the rocks, fightin' water battles with all the zest of youth in the good old summer time, Edgar and Freddie and all the others of the Edgar-Tarkington photo-stories.
