THOMAS, who is in charge of the work ■'■''■'■permits at the Board of Education, of ten receives reports of cruelty. The teachers on the sets, who are paid by the studio but employed by the Board of Education, make the only bona-fide reports, as a rule, and these are few and far between. Sometimes cases are reported by visitors, but most often by jealous mothers who resent the work received by some popular child. Thomas has found the picture youngsters normal, ordinary kids with sturdy bodies and active minds. Because of the individual attention they receive on the sets and because of their natural aptitude they are more often than not ahead of their classes. The only difference between them and other bright children is that they get more kick out of going swimming than spending a day at a studio. Photoplay Magazine for June, 1930 Papa Watson puts them through their paces. If he knows that one of them has been cast for a part he has each do the scene. The chosen one is given a variety of ideas about his work. They can all cry at the drop of a chapeau. And real tears, too, from little Delmar to big Coy. Papa Watson turns to Louise or Gloria or Harry or Billy and says, "Cry, " and immediately there's a deluge that makes the flood scenes from "Noah's Ark" look like a fish pond. And a second later Coy is pulling Gloria's hair and Harry is showing his newest stunt on the trapeze. Crying is a part of a day's work. It's a job, like washing behind your ears, only it isn't quite so unpleasant. But all is not roses in the Watson family. They take their work seriously, and papa doesn't believe in sparing the rod. When a little Watson returns from the studio all the other little Watsons ask how he did his job. If he did well, he's congratulated. If he did badly, he gets a right royal family razzing. TN a much less hectic atmosphere, because •Mhere are not so many of her, lives little Jane La Verne, the seven-year-old kid who wept her way through "Show Boat" and got seventyfive dollars a week for it. Jane's father is a professional baseball umpire, now touring the South, and Jane and her mother hold down the old homestead when he's away. Mrs. La Verne keeps Jane natural by letting her choose her playmates from among the children in the neighborhood, rather than from the professional youngsters. There's a big playhouse in the back yard and an amazing assortment of dolls in every state of decay. By the horrible example method Mrs. La Verne keeps her a real kid. Whenever they are on the set or in a home and some kid gets obstreperous Mrs. La Verne says, "Now see, there's a bad, spoiled child, whom nobody loves." Jane's money is going into singing and dancing lessons so that she will be prepared for the stage career that her mother hopes for her. Muriel McCormac is another child completely untouched by the glamor of the films. Her aunt is Betty Hart, Selig's first leading woman, and it was from her that she learned the rudiments of screen technique. Muriel goes to school, as they all must, but avoids the little girls who question her too much about her work. She is a quaint, old-fashioned child who told me that her greatest interest was in nature. She belongs to a bird club and makes it tough on all the lizards that venture to the door. She keeps her own room in order, does her own mending and washes the supper dishes. There are dozens of other well known youngsters in pictures who have regular work. Douglas Scott, Buster Slaven, Douglas Haig, Patty Falkenstein, Carl Bush, Godfrey Craig and, of course, all the various members of "Our Gang." Of them all there are very few conceited little prigs. Directors demand simplicity and naturalness. They don't want acting from children. They want fresh, spontaneous reactions. w ^ When Visiting New Yo r k AT LITTLE EXPENSE . . . live expensively Located in the ultra-smart, quiet neighborhood of upper Fifth Avenue, The Croydon is within 10 seconds' walk of Central Park and 10 minutes' ride of shopping, theatre and railroad centers.
