Could Dance the Minuet

4 CHARACTER actors find themselves
" called upon to supply all kinds
their work.
Charles Stevenson. the veteran char.
acter ACTOR, who will be remembered
Tor his notable work with Gloria
Swanson, in Her Gilded Cage" was
chosen 10 play a somewhat similar
role with Betty Compson, in "The
Rustic of Silk" But one of the rea-
sons. in addition to his acting ability,
which affected Director Herbert
Brennon in his choice of Stevenson
was the fact that the actor could
dance the minuet-the favorite dance
OF another generation.
In adapting Cosmo Hamilton's novel
to the screen, Scenarists Sada Cowan
and Ouida Bergere introduced a
short episode in which Betty Comp
son, attired in her grandmother's
gown. dances the minuet with her
father, an impecunious French aris-
tocrat.
So one of the requirements for the
actor who played the father role was
that he could dance the minuet nat
urally and expertly. Charles Steven
son. admittedly a capable actor. was
also formerly an expert ballroom
dancer in the days Of his youth. One
short rehearsal was all he needed to
brush up his memory of the dance
steps he had learned forty years ago.
