THE STARS' COMPANY P. O. BOX 425 HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA Hie Little Corporal Continued from page 73 parrot, and Buster, the fox-terrier; and he gets a kick out of bargaining with the junk man for old bottles. Sometimes when a gag meeting is getting nowhere, he'll adjourn the meeting to the baseball lot, or swimming pool. Following a day of shooting and an evening of conferences, he will turn on the phonograph and beat a lusty accompaniment on his trap drums, with all the gusto of a boy. He never seems to rest. Even during those long, boring waits when the sun goes under a cloud, he must find something to do. One day on location he noticed some boys throwing pebbles at a tin-can target. He promptly organized a contest, made rules, refereed and set up a prize. Perhaps that explains why the kids are among his stanchest fans. He's like a big brother, plunging in and doing the things in his pictures that they dream of doing themselves. Sometimes Johnny Hines sinks into the chair which waits for the star on every set, but invariably he springs up soon, like a fighter advancing from his corner at the sound of the gong. "We'll try it! Lights! Camera! This is the picture!''' Here, there, everywhere bobs his restless, black head among the people about the set — giving orders, explanations, praise, censure. "Act it, don't say it — this isn't the Vitaphone ! Try it again — good, that's Kosher! Isn't this a great gag, Charlie?" he appeals to his brother. Charlie nods. He finds time to discuss his favorite pictures and players with the ardor of a true fan. "Colleen Moore — cute as a bug's ear! Lillian Gish — marvelous !" Some people wonder why Johnny Kines works as hard as he does, when the members of his staff could assume a large part of the burden of responsibility which he bears. He works beyond the limit of any one man, and is, of necessity, so close to his work that at times he loses perspective, and the picture loses some of its effectiveness. He prefers to shoulder the burdens himself, for he finds they have many compensations. In this world of people who are living one-sided lives, tied down to an office routine, or vainly seeking pleasure outside their work, Hines lives a most fortunate life. He can realize a wide variety of human cravings in his many-sided job of making pictures. Some actors may be discontented puppets, but he can express himself through writing, directing, producing, and many other ways. The stamp of his personality is on every detail of the picture. Yet he finds time to attend parties, to motor, to play games, to act as chairman or toastmaster at public affairs. He's as busy as a centipede learning the Black Bottom. Activity agrees with him. Instinctively, he follows Roosevelt's advice to work hard and to play hard, to wear out, rather than to rust out. Some people are born to be a certain age, in spirit, all their lives. Johnny Hines may grow old in age and experience, but at heart he is twenty-one, and will continue to be, although he lives to be ninety. TIT FOR TAT The dame who leaves her chewing gum Stuck underneath the seat ; The bum who always comes in late And steps upon your feet. The man who likes to read aloud The titles on the screen ; The film that busts in half, and spoils The most exciting scene. The grouchy ticket-seller ; The usher with the pip ; The gink who tries to flirt, and has A little on the hip. You couldn't have the movies Without the movie pest ; (And I could write no poem; So all is for the best). L. B. BlRDSALL.
