Three Cats and Three Mice Can Cost a Let of Meney
ONE tiny last week I wnlkeil into tbc eflice of a man In the publicity depart
ment of one of tlie film companies In New Yerk. I found him sorting ever
a blc pile of photograph.
"Helle." he niil. "I'm just looking for n picture that made me think
of you. Itcmember the trouble we bad te meke these mice run up Johnny
HIncs' trousers nud the eat run aftrr them?"
I told him I remembered it very distinctly. "Well." he said, "it ought
te be interesting te jour readers te knew hew much these cats nnd mice cost
its that day. I haven't figured it out, but it must have been well ever a
thousand dollars."
He was referring te an incident that occurred while they were filming
"Terehy n la Carte." one of the series of Torchy comedies in which Johnny
Bines has made such n success. In this particular story, Torchy gets a vaca
tion and spends it operating a lunch cart se as te meke some money.
In one town, he wins n great reputation for the delicious doughnuts he
cooks and a eciety wemnu, who is planning a party, thinks it will be a dis
tinct novelty te liuve him bring bis lunch cart and make doughnuts for her
guests.
Se the film shown Torchy mingling with the aristocracy and ene of the
laughs called for by the scenario was te have a mouse run out from somewhere,
chased by, a cat, seek refuge up Torchy's trouser leg and then have the cat dash
Inte the picture and try te get up the trouser leg. tee.
When they were casting the picture, they had te find some one who had a
cat and a mouse guaranteed te carry out their parts in the performance Can
you imagine what a job the casting" directors aud property men have when they
arc expected te knew at n moment's notice where they can get such thiugs as
trained cats and mice? That's just what is expected of 'em, though
AXD thrrc actually uas comparatively Utile difficulty m finding what
they thought they uantett in liit caic. They had en their files the name
of a young iremrni who did vaudeiillc and entertainment acts with
three common or aartlrn randy mice and thrrc rats ictth no pedigrees
and net even one gcnciatten bcticccn the backyard fence and themselves.
WITH the assurance that these animals were pet feet ly trained, the director
figured that he could sheet that particular scene in n few minutes and then
go en with the rest of the ilnv's work. He he ordered the whole company te
report in the morning and lie put the animal act en first se as te get it ncr with
and net keep the salarj list working while the people weren't.
But I've alread told jeu hew unexpectedly temperamental animals some
times get when the camera begins te grind Hemember the story printed here
some time age of the long day they spent at nctzwoed getting a mule te pull the
Toonerville trolley car just a few feet (low n the track?
The supposedly trained cats and mice engaged for this Torchy episode get
suddenly very much prima denna en tins day. The girl who owned them came
out from a dressing room carrv ing a round pasteboard box. much like the boxes
Mme actercttes carrj their make-up in. The three cats followed her with bored
' expreiens en their faces and they xquatted near her chair and closed their
eyes as though they considered it the right time and place te take a nap.
They went through the rehearsal ence with the girl figuring out the best
way te make one of the mice run up nines' trouser leg. Then fche tried it, first
with one niecce, then with another and then with nil the meece together. But
the meece wouldn't. It seemed that all the people standing around watching
jxrturbed them, which is a slang wav of saying that they made the act all wet
After about two hours of this she did manage te get one of the tiny crit
ters te de the trousers stunt in pretty geed shape .se then she turned her atten
tion te the cats Frem then en the camera man had te grind out expensive
celluloid en every try because there was no way of telling which one would be a
success and they couldn't afford te miss it if it did happen right. '
But the cats simply acted bored te death. Being in a movie studio, they
immediately adopted the movie actor's attitude nnd pretended they couldn't
possibly step nnywhere but the Ritz, and they wouldn't think of taking a com
mon taxleab for fear of getting things en 'em nnd all that.
Besides, why should they chase these three little meece up Johnny Hines'
trouser leg? They were perfectly geed friends with the meece had known 'em
for years been brought up with 'cm, in fnct. And who was this Hines person,
anyway? Did his people knew their people?
By the time the cats began te assume a bla9e half interest In the work
the mice were tired of it and wouldn't act. And se cverjbedy had te wait and
give 'cm a chance te regain their equilibrium, which is a colloquialism meaning
second wind. And then it was lunch time.
After lunch they tried it again, but both cats and mice seemed te have for
gotten what they had been taught during the forenoon session. And all the
expensive actor people just steed around and waited, with every tick of the
clock meaning mere dollars dropping out of the company treasury.
'THEY tried that stunt for seventeen solid hours and didn't get it.
Until, sometime after midnight, the old studio cat saved the day for
them. One of the mice started diffidently en his icay te Hines' trouser
leg. The studio cat wandered in, saw him and made one wild spring for
him. And the mouse, having already learned that the trouser leg was
a place of concealment, made a terrified dive for it with the cat right en
his heels. And the cat didn't de any mere acting. lie wantid that
meme and he clawed and scratched, with Johnny Hines yelling bloody
murder and the director imploring him net te quit that tha action teas
simply great and the camera man cranking away just as though noth
ing unusual were happening, which is a way camera nun have. Se,
tchen you see "Torchy a la Carte" and laugh ever this scene, yen will
enjoy it mere, knowing that the acting of the studio cat is the real
thing and net merely a weik of clever aitistry.

WHITE ELEPHANT IS
PROBLEM IN
NEW DE MILLE FILM
rpHERE'S no such thing ns n white
-I- elephant.
Se sajs Mrs. Florence Median, fa
mous expert en things Oriental.
The discussion arose when Mrs. Mee
hnn wns aiding Cecil B. De Mllle in
his delineation of Siamese scenes for
his latest picture, "Feels' Paradise."
Seme one suggested thnt the Siamese
sacred white elephants should be part of
the parade.
"I hnve one for you," said the ex
pert and she had led forward a huge
beast which, te the unpractlced eye,
looked just like a regular gray elephant.
"That's net white," baid the on
lookers. "Tliis elephant," replied Mrs. Mee
han. "is a white elephant, according
te Siamese standards. You'll notice It
hns an albino eye, very unusual in an
elephant and white spots en the ears.
That's what makes it 'white' and
therefore snered in the ejes of the
Siamese The King of Slam has twelve
of them in his royal stables, and tliej
are mere carefully tended than the
uverage millionaire baby."
But these who expect te sec a huge
white shape loom up when white ele
phants are mentioned nre deemed te
disappointment. Fer, strictly and ac
curately speaking, there is no such thing
as n white elephant.
The "wh te elephant" which Mr. De
Mille uses in "Feels' Paradise" is used
for a coleiful street scene sheeting
across an inlet of water te a tremen
dous Oriental temple, n reproduction
of Wet Chang and Aknger Wat, two of
the architectural wonders of the Orient.
Slam and all its Orinetal splendor
Is balanced in "Feels' Paradlce" with
the less elaborate life of an oil town
en the Mexican border. The beauty of
Mildred 1 Inn Is blooms in one while
Dorethy Dalten is the epiees of the
ether. The man in the cast Is Cenrad
Nngel, while Theodere Kosloff, the
famous Russian dancer, has a very col cel col
oiful Mexican interpretation.
"Feels' Parndise'' is by Beuleh Marie
DIx and Sada Cowan. It was sug
gested bj "The Laurels and the Lady,"
by Leenard Merrick.

OF THIP WHICH

By CONSTAk'CI PALMER
Hollywood, Calif.
REMEMBER a story that ran en
this page about a month age about
the ill-fated expedition te Africa of
the Universal Smithsonian Institution
expedition? The fame expedition en
which William Stewcll. that fine ncter
who used te play with Uoretny l'himps
in her Universal-Jewel pictures, died?
Well, they've made it into n serial, nnd
Eileen Sedgwick is te play the lead. It's
te bc called "The Clutch of the Oc
topus" which is a terrible title, I
think. But Eileen's a nice girl who
plnys her Westerns in a vigorous, earn
est manner thnt is deserving of better
things.
Bert Lytcll Is working In a big coun
try club garden party set thnt is re
markably realistic. It is built in nmeng
the dust of the Metre back let nnd the
grass is laid down by the yard. (That
sounds like a pun, dears, but I plead
net guilty.)
Vlrglnln Valli, of the sweet and de
mure manner, is again Mr. LytclPs
leading woman. She is a pleasant,
quiet sort of girl, entirely feminine. The
sort of girl who waves her hand nbeut
her bungalow nnd says, "We took down
nil the pictures nnd moved out tnc litr litr
niture because it was terrible, nnd I
hope I work in a new picjure seen"
and is very pleased and happy nbeut
it nil.
Miss Jey, whom Mr. De Mllle has
signed up for Jiis new picture, sends
nut n frantic entreaty te note, ploase,
Mr. Editor, that her first name Is
spelled with an L nnd net with a B.
Being "Lentrice," which is pretty nnd
Just like her.
SITTING en the shoe-shining stand
at Lasky's today I .saw a sight for
the gods. Mr. De Mille hove into view.
Cecil, I mean. Then in single file four
respectful paces apart, stepping softly,
n string of disciples, breathlessly, gently,
reverently. And he stepped, right in
front of the stand. They nil stepped.
He turned te his two art directors,
who were next in line, nnd stnrtcd
speech. Breathing ceased. He a get
ting rendy for his new picture, called
"Saturday Night."
Ah. well, we laugh, net loudly you
understand; but we wouldn't miss one
el his plctqrcs for the world. And I'm
sure it no would deign te have me m
his trnin I'd step just ns softly nnd
breathe just ns spasmodically ns the
test, lies that sort of man.
Frank Maye Is out en the ocean
making the sea scenes for "Dr. Jim,"
the tttDry which wns written for htm
by Priscllln Dean's director, Stuart
Pnten. Claire Windser, the beautiful
and non cempus mentis, is his lending
woman.
W;
AROLD LLOYD is a most versatile
newest accomplishment te come te the
notice of an astet.ishcd public is his
knowledge of slclght-ef-linnd tricks.
Fifty of 'em. He's teaching about
forty-eight te Mark Jenes, who is n
juggler in Mr. Lloyd's new picture, "A
Suilor-made Man."
He's having a harem in the picture.
I hope it's rlp-rearingly funny, for
that sort of thing somehow doesn't go
with Hareld Lloyd in the minds of his
fans, I find. But I suppose he knew,
ns I've never known him te miss a
Mire-fire idea in the way of laughs.
Why docs Charlie Chaplin go Lurop Lurep

U. S. Company Tours
France With Circus
JOHN S. ROBERTSON has brought
his company bnck te Londen from
France where scenes hnve been shot
for "Love's Boemernng" with the
Cirque Pindcr.
The picture folk much enjoyed their
two weeks' nsocintien wit.li the circus
people, following up the big tent outfit
ns it moved from place te place. Un
forgettable for most of them were the
dajs spent at the little old-world town
ship of Caudcbec-en-Cnux, where the
inhabitants vied with each ether te give
the first moving-picture cempnny they
hnd ever had in their midst a hearty
welcome nnd n plensant time.
Ann Ferrest, who appears in the
role of Perpctun, is enthusiastic about
her first intimate glimpses of circus
life nnd circus people, and will tell by
the hour of "Belle," the big elephant,
who wns her chief "support" and who,
according te her accounts, must be the
most intelligent animal of her species.

GARRY SEES STARS
AT OPENINGS
OF N. Y. SHOWS '
By HELEN KLUMPH
miIE eldest story in the motion-
J- picture business." Garry an
nounced with that air of authority that
nlvvnys convinces people that she is of
Leis Wcbcr-llke importance at least,
"Is thnt raotien-plcturo stars have te
stay nt home nights and rest."
"And they de," I added. "L0u
at Lillian Gish."
Garry glared nt mc. "I might hart
known that you'd pick out the ene
exception. Whnt I was going te say
when you interrupted mc," and h
glared nt mc ns though she wouldn't
think of doing such n thing, "was that
all the motlen-picturo stars seem te
be chronic first-nighters. A glnnte at
nnv first-night nudience leeks like
Who's Who in Filmdom.
"Of course, it's been wonderful hay-
ing Mary Plckferd and Douglas Fair
banks in New Yerk. They've livened
up many a dull shnwj merely by ap
pearing in n box. One night the cast
of the play didn't knew they were
there, and made the fatal mistake e(
thinking that the applause was for
them. '
"Then Gleria Swanson has graced
several shows with her presence. Dor Der Dor
othy Gish nnd her husband, Jnmej
Rcnnic, were nt the opening of
'Swords,' nnd Irene Castle was the
cynosure of nil eyes nt the revival of
'The Merry Widow.' And that reminds
me thnt the new Merry Widow hat
isn't going te be n space grabber like
the old ones. It's going te bc like these
darling toques Mrs. Castle wears in
pictures sometimes. Peggy Ileyt, who
designs most of Mrs. Castle's hats,
designed the ones for the show and
that's hew jthe resemblance comes in. ,
TJUT if you'll allow mc te live after
-D making n pun, I'll tell jeu that
Irene Castle is ene of the most design
ing women I knew. She net only de
rlgns the prettiest things she hns her
self, but often, when a friend drops
in te see her, she can't resist making
n sketch of the kind of hat or gown the
ft lend ought te wear te appear at ber
best
"That's one thing about Irene; she
can afford te be prodigal with the se
crets of her charm. Let any one else
de the snmc things Bhe does and they
fall flat.
"She's all well again from the Injury
she get in her last picture and about
te start en another. And, eh! what
thrills she's storing up for her friends.
Yeu knew, she insists thnt she can't
act. She told me the ether day that
te give the public their money's worth
she wns going te try te lenrn a let of
new stunts horseback riding, swim
ming nnd the like te de in each new
picture. Has any ene else her ambi
tion?" "Ne." I admitted thoughtfully. "But
if she s any mero long-winded than
you nre, I miss my guess."
