KEYSTONE Mabel gets into difficulty with her new gown and coaxes Fatty to fasten it. FATTY OFF GUARD By ELIZABETH SEARS iij ET'S GO 'round to the office," said Roscoe Arbuckle. "We are not rehearsing to-day, so there is nothing doing here." He had been standing in the huge studio, with its roof of glass, watching workmen make a set and rapidly paper two walls with a vivid pink hanging. At the entrance there was bunched an eager group of men and women, hoping against hope that they would have an opportunity to speak to him and get in the cast. When you see his jolly grin facing you from a picture or the covers of a magazine, you are minded to say, "Hey, there's Fatty!" Somehow you have no inclination to call him "Fatty" when you come face to face with him in the flesh. True, if he were not fat, he might not be so funny; but there are brains there as well as bulk. And Arbuckle has not been [ idle all these years that he has been in motion pictures. He has been thinking out his plans and dreaming his dreams, and now he has an opportunity to put them on the screen and see how they pan out. He has passed the acrobatic stage and the business of flapping his hands against his sides, as the symbols of fun. KEYSTONE "Turn about is fair play," says Roscoe Arbuckle, in his new role as the jealous doctor. "I hooked your gown — you tie my necktie."
