The Metro press agent calls attention to the fact that Viola Dana is an expert boxer, and can also walk on her hands. Well, well, we should never have suspected it to see Viola on the screen, but then, if her popularity ever wanes with the film fans — but it never will — she can perhaps land a job with Ringling Brothers.
"Smiling Billy" Mason, who used to be an Essanay comedian, and of late has twinkled at the Keystone studio, is now with Universal, and is to direct and play leads in his own company.
