"SECRETS of BEAUTY," my new booklet, mailed free on request. L PlERRf VAIilGNY, Room 98, No. 34 Wesl58Bi St., KewYorh If You Don't Gamble Continued from page 45 were correct or not, just so they afforded the hero and maybe the heroine a chance to get gay with a sixshooter and to wear such picturesque costumes as were never actually seen on land or sea. Now the motion-picture studios on the Coast always hire from one to four real professional gamblers to see if everything is shif>shape, and to act as supervisors. When Universal City produced "Renunciation" from the story by Peter B. Kyne, four of the best-known gamblers in America were constantly employed to supervise the Western gambling scenes. The "Montana Kid" — known on the pay roll as George Blair — "The Cherokee Kid," Charles Brinley, who managed gambling halls in Reno and Goldfield in the palmy days of those places, and Lee Glowner, a New York gambler, handled the situation. Nazimova, in "Camille," was not content until she had devised an ornate French gambling scene to "jazz" the picture up a bit, and to provide a stunning locale in which to give Armand the grand razoo, as the third assistant camera man expressed it. With the frown of the law on open gambling in the United States, and the proximity of Tia Juana to Hollywood, the Coast has become the haven for the one-time professional gambler, and he now rusticates in a Los Angeles vine-covered cottage and admits making more money directing pictures than he did over the gaming tables. Little Boy Butler Continued from page 89 "Well, when I finally got it through my head that the whole thing wasn't a joke, I went out to the studio — yes, they sent a car for me — and Mr. Griffith was on the stage with LilHan Gish. He gave me an idea of the part, and encouraged me by saying that nine other actors had been tried out for it, and had failed. Of course, that made me feel fine, but I went at it. Mr. Griffith would watch me, then walk the length of the set, and once he made a noise, that sounded like a cross between a grunt and a sneeze. It was his way of registering mirth. "I got the part, and he thought I made good in it, so much so that he cast me in his next picture. I left the stage then for good. I don't think I'll ever go back." A lady fan described his pictures to me as "clean and wholesome. The kind of a picture that makes vou forget that the theater is stuffv." "Sitting on the World" and "Smiling all the Way" are his best-known releases "I like to play 'boob' parts," he confidec' "Where the fellow is bluncermg but good-natured. I don't like 'sex' pictures, and I'm never going to make one. This storv we're doing now illustrate,^ what I mean. The hero is a happy-go-lucky rich fellow in San Francisco, who has never done a stroke of work in his life. He enlists, after a row with his family, and is sent to Russia. The Bolshevist government orders all women to be married. The fellow has met an attractive Russian girl; when he hears that she is to be shot because she won't marrv the man that the government picked out for her. he beats it for the s'^ene of the execution, driving a hundred-year-old horse, and arrives just in time. He bribes the commanding officer, and asks the girl if she wouldn't as soon marrv him as get shot. She savs vf"?. and they get married. But when he brings her to America, his familv snubs her. So they set up hou'^ekeeping very simply, he goes to work, and she finally makes a real man of him. Then it is discovered that she is a princess, the family aoologize and everything ends happilv." Father Butler strolled up just then to tell "Dave" that the camera was ready. The last thing I heard D^i-^'id saying, as T climbed into the car that was to take me back to town, was a paraphrase of his proposal to Helen Ferguson — "Wouldn't you iust soon get shot as marrv me?" A 'id T heard the laug-hter of the com-^^-^v when she nodded her head emphatically. An optimist is the fellow who gets a job in a mob scene of several htmdred and expects his friends to recognize niir when the picture comes '''^ his hoiTie to A'n. Fugitive Flickers Because truth is stranger than fic tion is no reason for a great manv press agents to reverse this ti'^eworn epigram simply to tax our credulous natures.
