16 BIRTH AND INFANCY This view of a Universal (ne IMP) set shows the observation stand where, for twenty-five cents apiece, visitors could sit and watch the picture being shot. ( It was not long before the overfrank comments, not to say snickers, of the visitors put an end to this practice. A present-day studio is as rigidly policed as a reform school. ) Harry Carey, hero of many a horse opera, is seen here protecting the ranch gal in a scene from Love's Lariat. BELOW The First Hollywood Comics. Having made Westerns in New Jersey, Christie, "logically" enough, be gan filming comedy shorts as soon as he arrived on the West Coast. His troupe was known as the Nestor Company, and the group below probably includes one or more of your old-time favorites. They are: standing, left to right, Harry Rattenbury, George French, Anton Nagy (cameraman), Al Christie, Eddy Barry, Al's brother Charles, unidentified cameraman, Horace Davis (director), unknown, and a Mr. Lyons; seated, Lee Moran, Ukulele Jane, Eddie Lyons, Betty Compson, Billie Rhodes, Ray Gallagher, Stella Adams, and Neal Burns; on the floor, Joseph J. Janecke, Gus Alexander, unknown.
