Spike" Robinson Cleans Out
Whole Squad of Dusky Rlbals

Although realism is the main OBJ
tective Of every motion picture direc-
tor, there are numerous players Who
would prefer it in homeopathic doses.
Numbered among this latter class are
half a dozen sailors who appear in
the Metro production. THE Offshore
Pirate" starring Viola Dana, which
will be shown for the first times
locally at Crandalrs Metropolitan and
Knickerbocker Theaters, beginning
tomorrow.
Spike" Robinson. former light
weight champion Of England. is the
cause of this latest aversion to real
ism. Spike was selected by Dallas
M. Fitzgerald. director of the picture.
to take part in the production as
soon as 1t was found that the story
called for a genuine rough-and-tumble
battle on board ship.
"If Spike can't put up a genuine
fight that will knock your eye out.
I'll quit" said Mr.. Fitzgerald to Bay
ard WELLER, chief of production at
Metros West Coast Studios.
But nobody thought the eye
knocking-out would be half SO
earnest. Director Fitzgerald had told
the half-dozen black-skinned sailors
who were scheduled to trounce the
white seasam to make IT snappy.'
The white men were told not to give
up without fight.
In the course of the tussle a negro
tapped Robinson a little harder than
spike" thought was desirable for
picture purposes. So Spike" forgot
all rules and waded in. Black men
tumbled in every direction. The direc-
tors whistle blew to stop the fight,
but spike" was dead to everything
but the thud of falling victims.
Here! You're all wrong" shouted
the director. "You are supposed to
be licked. Now I've got to get an
entirely new company of colored
men,
Licked, yes! But not by any such
yap as this goof!" said the distin-
guished Spike" surveying his work.
Meanwhile the casting director was
sent to find six more hard negroes
who could take punishment but not
quite as much as Spike had admins
tered.
