MOTION PICTURE ACTING fore he finishes saying, ". . . and good will to men," that there isn't much "peace on earth," or "good will," either—but how he would love to believe there is! You can imagine what the doctor has said be- fore Harry speaks his first line. This doctor is plainly a medical man, since he dissects various unpleasant things, such as rats and men, and his experience has made him a bit pessimistic about mankind in general. Then too, the doctor was on the losing team in World War I—which would make him either an Austrian or a German. How do we know that? Because Harry says, "They were afraid your people might poison it"—that's the reason he was guarding the Ashokan Reservoir in 1918, to keep some Hun from poisoning the water supply. He merely slips in that observation to show what he was doing there, not in the least as an accusation. You can imagine how stupid a man like Harry would feel, all rigged up in a doughboy's outfit, plodding up and down on top of a reservoir. He didn't even get into the fighting. Those three months were just enough to interrupt his "career" and keep him from reaching that wonderful posi- tion in life, part owner of a carnival show. 120
