exact replica of a valuable ornament
worn by Mary. Queen OF Scots.

took him to task for making such n

procedure, anyway, when I was
there to try out for the films. Mean

humor where others fail to, and can
successfully translate it into words

actor in the struggling stages 1t is
only when success has inflated the
ego that they appear.
There are many cases. Of course,
where success never hurts And that
is the best test of true genius. The
late Frank Bacon was a shining ex-
ample. Several years ago he was
playing in my company in Los Ange-
les. He was humble. considerate and
level-headed. When he attained great
ness he was the same beautiful, low
able character. And if any man ever
had the right to become unduly elated
by success after years of bitter strug-
gle 1t was Frank Bacon.
1T has been my eXperience-and. I
think, of all producers-that the good.
hard, round dollar is one Of the best
cures for artistic temperament. 1t is
a growing practice to make stars a
sort of partner in the attraction on
a sharing basis. 1t is amazing how
well this has worked in some cases.
Temperaments have been quickly do
ciled by having a part of the re-

financial success Of the production.
