Also, and this is the most important part, he stipulated that I was to receive only a small weekly wage. Less than most 'bit' players receive. He had absolute right to handle and control every bit of money I earned above this small allowance. T FOUND West a slave-driver. He A loaned me out indiscriminately, at a good figure, but he never loosened up on my allowance. The first rub came when I asked for enough money to bring my family out. They were in the East and expenses were far less in Hollywood than in New York and naturally I wanted them to be with me. So, I asked for an advance on my drawing account. He refused. I cajoled, pleaded and stormed. He told me with finality that if they came they would have to come on my allowance. "It would have been so easy for me to make the same mistakes that lots of fellows do when they first come out. I was here alone. I was established as an actor. You know what that means.

They were green with age and had that intangible something that only moth balls can give. Aged in the wood, for they had been in my wardrobe trunk since I came to Hollywood. I had to get my 'tails' out and have them cleaned and pressed. I wore them with Norma in the wedding scene and I looked so terrible that I took Bob aside before we started. " 'For God's sake, Bob, do me a favor,' I begged. When we start walking towards the camera, get in front of me so this suit won't show. I'm sunk if you don't.' Bob did. Some of his fans wrote to him later and accused him of 'mugging,' but he was really doing me a kindness. When our close-ups were shot, he stood so that only my head and shoulders showed. Then we had a sequence that required
