Rolley's Book — "YOUTH — BEAUTY — AND HEALTH" Page 50 "Oh, Baby, Ain't Life Humorous?" (Continued from page 24) nine in the morning the whole "Oh, Baby!" company was on the set, washed, dressed and made up. Director Harley Knoles had by the hand a beautiful little girl with golden curls. Enter Ethel Shannon, fresh from Hollywood. It was her first day at work, and as yet she was vague as to what the story was all about. "Miss Shannon," spoke the director, "I want you to meet my little daughter!" "Oh, isn't she the darlingest thing!" Then to Billy in that patronizing tone that nice children bear so patiently from their elders: "And how are you-o-o-o feeling to-day?" "Pretty damn hungry — that's how!" bellowed Little Billy, sticking a cigar in the corner of his mouth. "You see, I got my weight down to fifty-seven pounds. Last night I ate a piece of heavy cake and now I weigh fifty-eight — so nothing but hot water for breakfast to-day!" When Ethel recovered from the shock she managed to answer as Little Billy asked how she liked his own Broadway. "New York's a grand and glorious city!" she rhapsodized, "where men know the wide open places — I love it! Last night I went to a night club. They use everything to hold you up but knives — and they can't use them 'cause all the big butter and egg men are eating with them!" # But life in the studio isn't all it's wise-cracked up to be. There's work to be done, my lads, so heave ho! Sixteen Jackie Coogans and Baby Peggies between the ages of four and eight were working, and the director was having more trouble than if he were dealing with a continental, temperamental, oriental actress who was undecided whether to announce her engagement to Charlie Chaplin or be robbed of a hundred thousand dollars worth of priceless gems. (Priceless is right!) At the moment Mr. Knoles was pretty well convinced that the rising generation was on the decline. He was optimistically seeking a child who could speak a piece, but not one knew a darn parlor trick but the Charleston! * One of the future Rudies was a dark-haired, handsome boy of six. "Come here, Valentino!" Mr. Knoles commanded. "Look here, my name's not Valentino!" protested the embryonic Barrymore. "My name is Warren Whittjngton McCollum. As for this Valentino person, who is he? / never heard of him!" That for "The Sheik" and "The Son of the Sheik!" Warren Whittington McCollum apparently doesn't give a snap of his small fingers for publicity. In his future stardom he's one actor you'll never see feeding strawberry shortcake to photoplay editors in January. An interviewer for a New York paper, having noted the details of Producer Al Lichtman's career, approached young Mr. McCollum. "Have you been in pictures before?" A terse "Yes!" "What ones, lately?" "Really, I cawn't go into all that now — I've got to rehearse this scene!" Here's a news beat on the interviewer. Mr. Warren Whittington McCollum played in "Just Suppose," "The New Klondike" and "A Kiss for Cinderella." At the same time he was appearing in "Embers," a Broadway show. <& -*■ Something had to be done to restore the interviewer to humor, so we decided upon lunch in Madge Kennedy's dressing-room, with Flora Finch as one of the guests. The latter is just as genial, just as. funny as the day way back in 1909 when she made her screen debut in a one-reel super-special with John Bunny called "The New Stenographer." She amused us with anecdotes of the good old days when Broncho Billy, Maurice Costello, Florence Turner and Lillian Walker were the idols of the screen. And then to show that she knows all about the up-to-date players too, she did an incomparable imitation of the octopus in "Mare Nostrum." In a studio the hour for lunch is over in thirty minutes. Then were heard strains of soft music from the two-piece orchestra that was supplying inspiration to a perfectly dumb actress, even a press agent would have to admit that. She's a cocker-spaniel named Lassie, and at that particular moment she was being coaxed into eating a plate of ice cream. Before the close-up was taken she demanded six rehearsals, and then when the crucial time came She deliberately
