Just to Entertain You!
Bebe Daniels and Ricardo Cortez went through this cold scene at night — and when the water was cold!
"Duck who ?" asked George, backing off warily.
"You — and Marion," was Mr. Bell's cheerful answer
"In what water?" asked George.
"That water!" said Mr. Bell, starting preparations.
"Here?"
"Yes, right here."
George looked at Marion and Marion looked at George. But in they went, right up to their necks. The bottom of the hole was soft and the top was slippery. Miss Davies slid in gingerly. George K. plunked down like a hero. Two costumes went out of commission. It was a great scene ! But when the rushes were shown in the projection room, it wasn't such a whale after all. It was cut out in the finished picture.
All that effort, which went for nothing, just to entertain you !
Bebe Daniels drew some cold-water work at night while making scenes for "Volcano," one of her recent Paramount productions. With Ricardo Cortez and other players, she gave an imitation of a lady fleeing the eruption of Mont Pelee. And she went as though old Pelee's indigestion
had made him mad. But the Patsy Ruth Miller was hit reason Bebe went so fast was and vegetable, in
that she was cold and everybody else was cold and she shivered and everybody else shivered. But it was art !
Taking these water scenes doesn't bring any enormous discomfort to the burly man back of the megaphone, but
if he could hear all that some of the actresses say he likely would be astounded at their command of language. The ejaculations of drunken sailors and expressions of troopers when peeved would seem like sweet vespers by comparison. The actresses do, occasionally, get "hoppin' mad." But a contract is a contract and orders must be obeyed.
Take Robert Leonard, the man who directed "Bright Lights." Bob was told of an old water hole not far from the studio where there was a tree partly submerged and cat tails growing along the banks. Thereby Pauline Starke was marked for more "art." It probably required the exertion of considerable ingenuity to connect a water hole in California with "A Little Bit of Broadway," as the picture was originally called, but it was engineered. Leonard put on rubber boots by almost every kind of fruit which reached nearly to his "Hogan's Alley." hips so he couldn't get wet.
