32 BIRTH AND INFANCY Myrtle Steadman, a former light-opera singer, joined Bosworth's company after leaving the Whitney Opera Company. She is depicted here as the wistful daughter in one of those skinflint-deacon-mortgage dramas, It's No Laughing Matter, with Maclyn Arbuckle as the harassed father. BELOW A popular team of 1914-15 were Lois Weber and her husband, Phillips Smalley, who wrote, directed, and acted in their own pictures. They are shown here in False Colors. The gentleman whose suit Smalley is rumpling is Courtenay Foote. Miss Weber became one of the few really successful women directors, her most spectacular achievement being Where Are My Children? ( 1916), an earnest treatise on abortion, produced by Universal. Like so many other Hollywood discussions of the taboo subject of s-blank-x, it evoked anguished protests from the godly and shekels from the box office.
