He walked away and I could hear whispers, "She's never been to California?" I felt suspicion grow about me. Contempt. But not from Lloyd Hamilton. A real heart beats beneath his rough slapstick exterior. He said he had known someone, once, a long time ago, who had never been further west than Kansas City; and he understood it was possible to live quite happily in the East. "It isn't like California, of course," he added. "Seems funny to be riding to location here in the studio bus." There was a far-away look in his large eyes. Undoubtedly he had a vision of himself riding to location in California, himself and his large shoes and his make-up box filling his own car. Still Recalls His Past J^f he yearns for the great west he doesn't show it. Neither, however, does he attempt to smother his past. He admits he was Ham of Ham and Bud, in the days when Mickey Neilan was with Kalem. "We thought we were real funny, then." His short comedies for Educational have brought him into favor. Remember his shoe-store scenes in Uneasy Feet ? He's trying on shoes and every time the clerk asks him if he likes a pair, the feather in the hat of the lady sitting behind him tickles his ear and he shakes his head. Six hundred pairs of shoes were used in this one scene alone. Only Cecil De Mille could break this record. Hamilton is an old trouper. He had his training in repertoire. He's been in pictures ever since they used to make one a week, or oftener. He has worked with lions and would rather work with anything else. He assures the skeptical, rather feelingly, that the lions he worked with — I think it was in Roaring Lions and Wedding Bells — had untrimmed claws, youth, and full possession of all their ivories. Homesick for Old, Low Comedy eriiaps his wistful look is really a martyr expression, occasioned by homesickness for Hollywood and his good, old, low comedy. If so, he suffers in a worthy cause. It is for art. Black and White has its solemn moments when Hamilton will be required to act, even as Schildkraut and Novello. How will it feel to go back to the old life, making two-reelers without any solemn moments ? Will he decide that all true comedy has a touch of pathos and proceed to put it in? At any rate, come what will, he can always lift his head proudly and say, "I worked for Griffith." He hasn't Schildkraut's profile, but I like him better. Von Stroheim We Hand It to You (Continued from page' 19) And, as they reached the bush they were to see the hand of the hunchback outstretched on the crimsoned snow. Whole Sequence Eliminated There was an extended sequence showing the affair of the count's wife with her groom, finally ending in the death of the woman, deserted and friendless, on the streets of Vienna. All this led logically and directly to the officer's regeneration and his return, freed, to the girl of the Prater. Ever since M erry-Go-Round was produced — minus all credit to Von Stroheim— that director has declined to talk about the subject. These facts were not gained from Von Stroheim. But, in justice to a much maligned man of rare directorial ability, we present our findings. No matter how little actually remains of Von Stroheim's original scenes (and that remainder is considerably more than 600 feet, we are told) the obvious fact is manifest that Merry-GoRound is his in every essential sense of the word. The story was shifted and abbreviated — but the spirit of Von Stroheim remained. And that spirit made Merry-Go-Round one of the best pictures of the past film year. Tragedy of Mary Miles Minter (Continued from page 99) If Mary had ever been an honest-togoodness actress with a scrap of real feeling for her work, the loss of The Covered Wagon would have been the biggest tragedy of all.
