232 THE TALKING PICTURE Another scene from Song o' My Heart, showing MeCormack and lovely Alice Joyce, who played opposite him. This was the only picture he ever made. His own explanation tor the shortness of his screen career was, "They said I had no sex appeal." ABOVE BIGHT It was inevitable that, sooner or later, Jackie Coogan, whose performance in Chaplin's The Kid had made him a child star, should grow up to play America's legendary boy character, Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer. This he did, in a talking picture of 1930, ten years after his screen debut. The girl with him, above, is Mitzi Green. BELOW Elmer Rice's grim play, Street Scene, reached the screen in 1931, in a faithful adaptation directed by King Yidor. Sylvia Sidney played the role Erin O'Brien Moore had created on the stage. This is the set, a perfect reproduction of a shabby New York street, on which most of the action took place.
