Twenty-Five miles south of Asheville,
North Carolina, is summer resort known
as Hendersonville, noted chiefly for being
the seat of pretty nearly the only Repub-
lican county in the South. It's little
place, with wide main street, few
auction shops, and five or six hotels.
Everything else in the place is boarding
house or soda-water stand.
FIFTEEN miles out from there, over
one of the prettiest roads man ever
travelled east of the Rockies, is little burg
with the name of Edneyville, and just
above there is Bats Cave. We were at
Bats Cave. Thank goodness the company
had sent down an advance man and
things were fixed up for us by the time
we got there! 1t was summer too, and a
crowd Of visitors at the boarding-houses
around there made me feel easy about
getting supes for the bigger pictures.

tried every way in my power to queer
him with the danes; and think I'd have
got away with it, but for the calm, unruf-
fled way he took the worst of my gibes.
For instance, he was jollying bunch Of
them one morning when we were doing
some scenes in "The Moonshiner's Wife"
Lonny made his set-up, and was ready
to rehearse. So l sings out loud
"Hey, Lothario! On the job for this
scene. Quick!"
He never fickered-though l learned
afterward he never heard of that Lothario
chap before. That was the way he put it.
And when Lonny took pains to explain
to him who and what Lothario was the
boob took my nickname as compliment,
and wanted to chum with me in thanks
for it.
WHAT could do? He was bird Of
an actor, even if he wasn't any too
amenable to discipline, and wanted to do
every scene his own way, stead of mine,
and his salary was enough to give nor
mally paid person the jimjams, and the
public was screaming for pictures starring
him, and the Big Bosses up North didn't
know what personal lemon he was, and
there wasn't dad-blamed thing for me

verbally all the time, and giving the rest

Believe me, if there was one thing that
made the rest of our crowd happy fam
lily, it was the general dislike of Curly
Locks!
And so one night l called mass meet
ing Curly Locks had ridden down to
Edneyville to call on native girl (sure!

But it didn't take the least observant of

didn't have any one par

took everything as matter of course! He
seemed to think it was natural that we
should tender him an ovation, and before
we'd passed the livery stable on our
way from town to the Bats Cave head
quarters he was telling us what great
deal the Takagraph people pulled in land
ing him as their stellar feature.
TT was before we hit the first climb that
Bill Travers looked him straight in the
eye and called him ct. Walter" Some
of us snickered openly because we were
a democratic bunch, and we were dead
sore at the airs he was putting on. And
he didn't even turn hair, except to flush
in a rather pleased manner. 1t remained
for Lonny Haslett to give him the lasting
nickname. We were winding up noun
tain where the view was pretty good,
and Lonny, who was riding on the rear
seat of our rig, leaned over to Burney
and says, loud enough for every one near
there to hear:
"Great view, amt it, Curly Locks?"
l kind of caught my breath there, be-
cause Lonny is little chap, and was
afraid Curly Locks might make q pass
at nllIl. DuU lie ulun Z. ne JuSC SInlleQ,
brushed his right hand through his hair,
and remarked that it was; but not nearly
so pretty as the far West.
The longer Curly Locks stayed with
us the less I wondered that the other
company had let him 60. He was abso-
lutely the limit to get along with, and he
made love to every girl within range.
He was funny nut that way, too.
Didn't try to firt with any of the girls
in the company-probably was wise
enough to see that they wouldn't fall for
him. No, take that back. Curly Locks
had an idea that he could marry Russian
Princess if he wanted to. But anyway
he instinctively let the professionals alone
and confined his love-making to every
other pretty girl that came within sight
1t was sickening. We'd get out in the
morning to film few scenes while the
sun was good, and Curly Locks would be
dolled up in a good-looking, picturesque
mountain costume, posing with his hands
on his hips and that gentle smile on his
mug,-the smile that put about thou

As l say, we didn't have
a star, and l needed one the
worst way; which, incl
dentally, was the way | got
one. Then came the rural
mail rider from Henderson
vile one morning bringing
me a wire from Tompkins
which toldme that T. Walter
Burney was even then en-
route to join us. He had
jumped a big firm and had
left their Coast studio that
day.
Burney was just the style
Of man who impresses the
girls in the audience with an
ooh! amt he grand?" feel
ing,-tall and broad and
straight and classic of fea-
lures, and with long, curly
hair; and the way he could
make love in pantomime!
We knew only those things
about him that the admiring
interviewers and mercenary
press agents had collected
and printed in the maya
zines. And we prepared for
him the corkingest little re-
ception!
We met him in Hender-
sonville with carryalls and
buggies and handshakes and
welcome-homes, and before
we'd been talking to him
five minutes we were sorry.
Why, that COMPOUNDED chap
