FEEDING THE PORKER
The little piggy belongs to Ethel Teare, of the
Kalem Company ; but Ham offered to teach it
to drink from a bottle, if Bud would
furnish the music. The porker
relished the milk.
And He Hadn't Asked a Single Question
Ten-year-old (looking up from Film Fun) — Dad, I see that child actors are mighty popular in the motion pictures.
Grouchy parent (reading paper) — Yah; they can be seen and not heard. G'wan to bed, you !
Why Moving Pictures Appeal to Stage Stars
< , T ET ME tell you one of the reasons why so many actresses of the legitimate stage are crazy about screen work," said Marie Dressier. "For one thing it brings them into an entirely new phase of life. They have to get up very early. No actress or actor was ever known to get up early, you know, unless it was to catch a train on a one-night stand.
' ' We often used to start out by half-past seven and never get back to the studio again until after seven at night. All day long we had been out in the open air, and by the time we'd get back to our hotels again, we'd be glad to go to bed by nine o'clock.
"We were traveling like gypsies from one wonderfully beautiful 'location' to another. All real actors are gypsies under their skins, you know. I know I am, and that is one reason why I love the motion pictures so and want to stay in them for the rest of my life. Of course in comedy work you have some 'stunts' put up to you once in a while that are a little hard on the nerves, and I've accumulated a number of bruises; but there was an awful lot of fun in making the picture. In one scene I'm supposed to be pushed through a brick wall. Naturally we built that wall with watery mortar, not expecting it to stick together very much. But something intervened, and we couldn't take that particular scene on the afternoon the brick wall was constructed. The next day, when we came to filming it, we found the mortar had dried — and I want to tell you that it was a mighty hard brick wall that I was rammed against. Then by way of diversion they threw me out of a moving automobile, yanked me in the atmosphere on the end of a steel cable, made me roll under the open spigot of a barrel previously filled with molasses, jump from a bridge to a moving train, and then jump from the train into a box filled with feathers.
"But I love the photoplay, because it is creative; that is, every moment there is something new. Every moment we create — we build — we make something out af nothing. It is fascinating, and I hope that some day I may do something really worth while.

HAM FINDS CONVALESCING FROM THE SHOCK OF A BROKEN LEG AN EASY TASK "You see," explained Ham seriously, "It was this way. I stumbled over one of my shoes — honest, I did
broke my leg. But convalescing wasn't so bad at that. I had two of the prettiest nurses in the hospital to help me to learn to walk again and I found that life has its compensations, after all."
