Evalyn Knapp and John Harrow getting into the swing of the picture, "You and I," with instructions from director Robert Milton.
None of the comforts of home on this location. Ramon Novarro is seen shaving himself for his next scene in "Daybreak."
other lines is precious, too — a fellow like Chaplin who can act, direct, write his own stories, compose his own music, and — ahem — make his own business deals has an edge on most of them. A girl who looks lovely, acts well, sings, plays an instrument, can do either comedy or tragedy, is a good dancer — and is also capable of writing her own scenario a la this new little Carman Barnes, is bound to crow over less accomplished souls.
Even a fellow who can stutter comically, in addition to doing the things the other actors do, gets an extra bit on his salary !
Norma Shearer says she likes drama best as it keeps her talking — nothing so difficult as comedy which depends more on facial expression. So now she is making "A Free Soul" and her next will probably be Noel Coward's "Private Lives."
Dorothy Mackaill is considered the most recklessly outspoken of all the stars and she loves to give her naughty witty tongue free range. But at that she is artful about it — Dorothy can make naughty remarks with just the right disarming expression, so that people don't know they've been hit. So, notwithstanding, Dorothy has seen stars come and go and she now occupies the most desirable bungalow on the First National lot. As a small girl, going to music and dancing lessons alone in London, Dorothy ditched the classes and got herself a job at the London Hippodrome, some days before mamma and papa knew a word about it.
Lew Cody and Harry Myers are both popular in the roles of funny drunks — get chosen for such roles prettv well every time. Yet both have been on the water wagon for ages — Lew for two years, Harry for six. Never take a drip. But then, you see it takes a fellow who once knew how, but is now dead sober, to be a funny drunk. Real drunks are just a nuisance on the set!
Greta Nissen ignored a speed tag, so they arrested her just like anyone else, and stuck her just about twice as big a fine. That cop cannot have really looked at Greta.
Harold Lloyd's children are to have a proper christen
Hollywood's foreign films are not proving profitable. A Norma Shearer picture with Lily Damita in the leading role for Paris audiences, for instance, just isn't a Shearer picture and the fans decline to be enthusiastic. So our stars will simply have to learn foreign languages. The most valuable in future will be those who can both act, look handsome, and do it in several tongues. So far Ramon Novarro and Antonio Moreno, with their Spanish pictures have proved profitable, but they pretty well stand alone. Adolphe Menjou can speak five languages — watch him soar.
So, you ambitious would-be screen luminaries, polish up on your languages !
For that matter, versatility in
"Anyhow, it's a clean picture," remarks Wallace Beery to George Hill, his director, between scenes of "The Secret Six."
Jackie Searl, standing, and Bobby Coogan on the "Skippy" set. King Tut, the dog, is serving as sound mixer.
