Instead of being a good double for Roosevelt, he more nearly resembled William Howard Taft. But the scenario writer and director were hardly sympathetic and ingenious enough to change the story at that late date. They insisted on making the poor man starve back to Rooseveltian dimensions. And in order to do it they had to assign a guard to him to make sure that he didn't steal off and indulge his fancy for French pastry.
"There is one player, though, who doesn't have to worry about dieting any more — Lilyan Tashman. At the rate she is working she couldn't gain weight if she tried.
