Pickford, mother of Mary, in great excitement demanded of Ince and the captain of the ship that it be put about and returned at once to New York. She had discovered, not entirely to her pleasure, that "Little Mary" and Owen Moore had been secretly married in New York, shortly before the sailing. Peace was restored with difficulty and, in due season, the party was landed in Cuba — followed by the sleuths of the Motion Picture Patents Company and J. J. Kennedy's intelligence service. Doc Willat had leased a forbidding stone structure as quarters, and studio for the company. There was that about the place which seemed chilling and inhospitable to the actors. They were vastly reassured, however, when it was explained that this was nothing less than the Palacio del Carneado of Vedado. Joseph Smiley and King Baggot, however, did some inquiring on their own account and found that, in spite of its sumptuous name, the Palacio was in fact an abandoned jail. They moved. The company had been at work but a few days when everyone became mysteriously and desperately ill. The situation was doubly critical. "Imp" inNew York was dependent for its very existence on the uninterrupted output of the company in Cuba. Ince, recovering, first made a searching investigation. He found that Charlie Weston, the property man, with an eye to business and personal profits, had taken to Cuba with him a very large wholesale tin of cold cream. Weston calculated that there would be no drugstores in Cuba and that he would. make a fortune out of selling his cold cream to the actors for the nightly removal of their makeup. So far so good. But he stored his drum of cold cream in the kitchen ice box. The Cuban cook decided it was just a fancy perfumed American lard and proceeded accordingly. "That," remarked Ince, "explains everything— fried chicken a la Colgate." In Havana, Ince met J. Parker Read, who had been adventuring about Cuba as a salesman. He employed Read as an interpreter for his dealings with the Cubans. THE cold cream catastrophe had hardly passed when internal diplomatic troubles arose. Owen Moore and a property boy developed a feud, resulting in a lusty battle. Swearing vengeance, the somewhat disfigured youth announced to Ince that he was going to prosecute Moore in the Cuban courts. "Don't do it — we've got troubles enough, now," Ince interposed. "But go ahead and talk about it all you want to. Make a noise about it." Ince had a bit of a scheme for producing peace by intimidation. Also Moore was not high in the friendship of Ince and the company. At Ince's instance, J. Parker Read called in an ornate Havana policeman, in gold lace and grim visage. In a loud voice to be heard all over the studio, Ince exclaimed: "No, Mr. Moore is not here. I do not know where he is. I think he has gone back to the States." Whereupon Read, the interpreter, apparently translating, spoke long and earnestly to the policeman about the weather and ended by presenting him with a package of cigarettes. After this performance had been repeated a few days, Moore became apprehensive. Ince meanwhile talked ominously about the desperate character of Cuban courts and Cuban justice. Anything, it seemed, might happen to a man if he were once arrested. The lighter offenders were merely burned alive. Serious affairs naturally took more serious attention. The hoax gathered momentum and at last Moore yielded to what seemed discretion. Without removing his make-up, he departed from the harbor of Havana and returned to New York.
