and four assistants also armed with bud-speakers rushed to obey him. Each of them took hold of an artiste and rushed him up stage. Rex got cross. One of the assistants came up to him. "Which one?" he asked innocently. "The stout one," thundered Rex Ingram and with thinly veiled sarcasm. " Look at all four of them and then decide Which is the stout one."

Rex Ingram started coughing and three assistants rushed to his assistance. In three minutes three boxes of cough lozenges had appeared magically from nowhere. That was the last I saw of Rex and his company, for they left very shortly for America, where the finished film is probably showing by this time.
