When Director Milton Fahmey. of the Cub C<Ma- <ily' Company, read the 'script of "Who's WioV" after he had rTM;elvcd instructlous to pictuilie It. he found that bo was facing a perplexing problem. The story called for the Introrfuct'.on of two acts uf twins—one pair of about six yi-ars of age, anil the other of that period In life when the matri- monial bee buzzed louclest. Mr. Fabmey fo-jnd It a coimparatlvely easy mntter to locate the youngest pair, but -n'ben It tame to the second .selection Jie bad tbo time of bis life. In order to properly convey the story of "Who's Wbo?" which Is rounded on the "mlBtakc:i Identity" Idea, but treated In an unusual and re- freiihlng manner. It was neces'sary that the grown pair be Identical In nh^-slquo and features. To find such a pair was Mr. (^Abrney'a problem. H>t sent bis scouts all over Los .Angeles, where thv Cub studios are lomted, but the.v returned unsuc- ceKSfuI In their mission. Taking the bit Into bis «mu hands, so to Rpeak. Mr. Irahmey went Intit the fray himself. He speut an entire afternoon and all of an evening in bis quest, but be was Anally awarded, and the next morning early he had at the studio two girls, who, unless closel.v scrutinized, apparently bud no distinguishing fei'.- ture between taem. The two girls are Mouilc and Mabel Newton— twins In real life as well aK In "Wlio's ^^'bo?" They proved themselves capable of screen playerg. bntl rendered able assistance to George Ovey. tb(r featureil comedian. In carrying out the fun of the Mory.
