, Several years ago we had an assistant
director at the taking of one of my pic
lures. He was well known man, but
a newcomer in the East. had heard
Of him as having quite a reputation
around the California and Chicago studios
for getting the most out of his people.
I am sure that our own head director
had spoiled us thoroughly for Mr.. lis
methods. We were accustomed to
courtesy and consideration and the first
time Mr. H. let out a roar like a bull
of Bashan at one of the girls who had
made a mistake, it startled every one
within hearing.
It's the only way to impress on peo-
pies minds what you're trying to get
over l heard him say later, to one of
the men. That kid would have gone
on making that same mistake day after
day, no matter how many times l told
her different She'll remember now. I've
had to deal with show people for years,
and II you want to make them whip
into shape. you've got to yell and swear
at them. in order to make any lasting i'm
preston. Grant swore at his soldiers.
and won his battles. and he learned to
swear as a steamboat captain on the
Mississippi"
I am sure, inside OF a week, he was the
most thoroughly disliked man who had
ever entered our studios, and 1t seemed
too bad in a way. Our director told me
that he was an excellent man in his own
line, thoroughly capable and popular with
other men, and yet he seemed to think
that the only way he could get results
and work out OF the people he came In
contact with, was to swear at them-not
only the women, but the men as well.
And do you know that one man seemed
to break up the harmony OF our whole
happy little company. The peace of the
studio was broken, as our property man
said. You never knew when he was going
to yell out at some one or bark on the
side at some trifiing mistake of the cam
era or scene shifters.
It's a wonder to me some OF the boys
don't beat him up for the things he says
to them" our director concluded. Il
won't stand for much more myself"
There was one girl who had just biz
to do, but 1t did seem as II she couldn't
do even that much to suit him. He had

the last heroic touch that drew him close
