THE CLEVER DUMMY (1917) 57 The beach at Venice, California, was the favorite location for shooting the Bathing Beauty pictures. Here is a scene in the making. The girl in the plaid skirt is Marie Prevost, with Heinie Conklin seated beside her. Back of him stands Bert Roach. To the right of him are Jack Ackroyd, Jim Finlayson, and Wayland Trask. The recumbent lifeguard is Ben Turpin. Victor Scheurich is the cameraman. The Silly Symphonies and other animated cartoons— to say nothing of Screeno— have pretty well usurped the place held by the old two-reel slapstick comedies. At least, that's what exhibitors will tell you. Just the same, when die newsreel theaters revive an old Chaplin or Lloyd roughhouse, the fans stay in tiieir seats. Here's another giggle-getter of the 1915 vintage, Gail Henry.
