Two Kinds of Temperament
CHARLEY CHASE, former director, gives Charley Chase, now a Hal Roach comedy star, some valuable hints, but also a lot of trouble.
His previous experience is at times an aid and yet sometimes a detriment to his director. In many bits of business he quickly grasps the situation and enacts it speedily, saving time. Occasionally, however, his ideas of a scene do not coincide with his director's.
"We argue a while, stop to play a tune, then shoot it both ways. We screen each 'take,' see that both are wrong, and ask a neutral referee for advice," says Chase.
He plays the accordion, uke, and several other instruments, and his director thumps the ivories and evokes melodies from a mouth organ. Working usually in harmony, they furnish a

"Well, remember that I have on tap tzco kinds oj temperament, the director's and the actor's."
