Julia Faye would make the ideal ady's maid ; in freckled Wes Barry, with his impudent smile, the proper ingredients for the true-to-type page-boy would be found ; and Gwynne Herbert could supply the motherly housekeeper
It is (;. K. Arthur who tells the amusing story of a film actor who was coached for a domestic part in a film by a butler specially lent from an old family mansion.
The actor was so intrigued by the part that he determined to take up " buttling " for a living, and he actually secured such a position on the strength of his training in the film studio.
One of the most true-to-life domestics on the screen is Betty Balfour. And because she is so like the real article, she wotdcl hardly be welcomed by any housewife. The consistency with which she reduces china to a heap of debris, and produces equally expensive catastrophes in the household, is a true reflection of the servant as many distracted mistresses know her. But her contribution to the servant problem is essentially one that remains under the heading of screen entertainment.
The question of " followers " enters in the servant problem in these days of domestics who need to be humoured. If a fortunate housewife could persuade Tom Moore to grace the kitchen as the cook's policeman, there would assuredly be peace in the household. For Tom makes an attractive, goodnatured " Robert " on the screen, and he woidd be capable of vibrating the impressionable hearts of the cooks of suburbia.
Constance Talmadge, when she places a lace cap on her rebellious curls and ties a dainty apron around her slim waist, makes a parlour-maid dainty enough to set before a king. But, then, like all these delightful people who flicker through the drawing-rooms of filmland, she is of the stuff that dreams are made of where the covetous housewife is concerned. p. r. m.
