Advertising Section 109 Beach o' Dreams Continued from page 55 then, Eddie Foy always wanted to play Hamlet." Why is it that all the funniest people are the saddest ? Honestly, the Sennett studio is more like a morgue than a comedy factory. Not a sound is to be heard there except now and then the dull splash of a pie against some one's face, or the thud of a cream puff against the wall. And here all but one of Sennett's feminine funsters dreams of being a tragedienne ! Mildred June is shy about interviews, but after a search she was prevailed upon to take her seat upon the beach of dreams. There was a tear in the corner of her eye. I wanted to know why. "Because I feel like that little Duck Baby up at the Exposition in San Francisco — after the lights went out. She was only a little statue, but she didn't like it when they closed the Fair, and put the lights out. You see, I — er — love to swim ! I think bathing suits are attractive, don't you ?" I agreed that most certainly I did. It was too bad, I had to admit, that Mr. Sennett was going to go out for a reputation as maker of highbrow films, except that "Yes, I know," she finished for me, "except that now we will have a chance to use our faces. But bathing comedies are so easy. All you have to do is to put on a cute little bathing suit and skip along a beach until Mr. Turpin or some one sees you and starts to chase you, then you fall down, and that's all there is to it. "But now that we are playing in these regular highbrow dramas like 'A Small-Town Idol' and 'Heartbalm,' you have no idea how hard we have to work! They actually take close-ups of our faces, and it seems so shocking to have the camera pointed right at your face where you think your thoughts and everything. It almost makes me feel positively naked. "1 should think some of these thinking actresses like Nazimova would be fussed to death all the time ! I would just like to make bathing comedies always. I can't dream about anything else." Poor little water babies. They are all like ducklings out of water, rather uncertain of their next step. But they are keeping at least half an eye on the careers of those who have gone before, and as Marie Prevost said when she signed her contract with Universal City "How can you learn to swim if you never go near the water?"
