HERE is A BABY WHO WON'T
CRY

Usually the problem facing a
movie director with a baby in the
cast is to keep the infant in hap
py humor, but an entirely different
and entirely new situation arose to
confront Director Frank Borzage
during the filming of the William
Fox production of "Lazybones,
coming to Plaza Theatre next Sat
urday, February z. Frank had a
baby he couldn't get to cry.
Little Billie was a genial soul
who cooed delightedly at all who
came near.
He watched the directors and
grinned complacently at his mother
when she told him to cry. But no
amount of coaxing or mimicry
could affect him. He took the
whole thing as a game staged for
his amusement and chuckled his ap-
proval.
Finally Zazu Pitts, who was
standing near suggested that some
one pick the baby up, hold him for
a minute and then put him back
in his basket for no reason at all.
The scheme was given a trial and
worked like a charm. No sooner
had the baby's mother put him un-
tremendously back into his cradle
than he voiced his indignation and
the cameras began to click merrily.
