Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
Being a movie star would be all right
if it wasn't for the makeup. So
opines Bob Meusel, national idol of the
baseball diamond, star of the recent
World Series and famous member of
the New York Yankees, who under
went his first experience before the
motion picture camera recently when
he appeared with William Haines and
Sally O'Neil in "Slide, Kelly, Slide,"
the M-G-M production. His principal
impression of screen acting is that
makeup "makes you feel sticky"
Meusel, brought from New York to
play role in this new baseball pic
ture, found that acting wasn't such an
ordeal "They simply put the base
ball players on the field and had prac-
tice," he says, "And we never noticed
the cameras. That part of it was just
ike the usual days work But before
we went on, we had to be made up
with preparation called liquid make
up; a sort of kalsomine that dried
sticky and stayed sticky. 1t bothered
me all the time. | started to catch a
fly in practice-then suddenly | real
lied that my face felt sticky-and
had to watch lest l muff the play. l
wouldn't touch my face-that would
have spoiled the makeup, they tell
me-and when your face is itchy and
sticky it's almost second nature to
rub it. Also, when you get heated up,
you usually rub your face. But in
this business you have to dab it with
a powder puff like a fiapper. To see
some of our ball players using their
powder puffs for the first time and
chewing tobacco at the same time was
one of the funniest things my eyes
have ever feasted on" Meusel is one
of number of famous ball players in
the "team" of the new picture, which
tells an intimate story of the ''inside"
of professional baseball. William
Haines, hero of Brown of Harvard
and Sally O'Neil head the cast, which
includes Harry Carey, Dorothy Sebas-
tian, Mike Donlin, formerly of the
New York Giants, Junior Coghlan,
Eileen Sedgwick and other noted
screen players, and such ball celebri-
ties as Bob and Irish" Meusel, Tony
Lazzeri, Perry O'Brien Of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, Bill Ludolph Of De-
troit, Ernie Orsati Of the st. Louis
Cardinals, Red Oldham Of Pittsburgh

Friday and Saturday-The way of
title is long and devious. Especially
those titles that are selected for orig
inal stories. Of course, it is different
with titles Of stage plays and books.
They have a certain commercial value
and to change them would be ridicul-
Gus although it is a frequent occur
renee in the motion picture industry.
Harold Lloyd is one of the toughest
customers of title writers. He always
has been very successful in selecting
snappy, appealing titles which fit in
perfectly with his story. Consequently
his demands are little more severe
than the next. For his new picture,
which he has called "Hot Water"
Lloyd waded through nearly five hun
dred suggestions, out of this mass he
first picked the title Hubby" which
remained virtually throughout the
production of the picture. In fact,
two previews were held under that
name. Then one day, John Grey, of
the Lloyd scenario staff, and one of
the best title writers in the country,
hit upon "Hot Water" He was dis
cussing some subtitle with the coined
ian, when he said: Harold, what
would you think Of Hot Water as
title for one Of your pictures ?" Lloyd
thought a moment. 'What would l
think Of it? That's the title of our
new one" responded Harold. 81 think
its peach, and it admirably fits the
story. Our principal character is GER
tainly in nothing if It isn't hot water"

Despite the "heavy" catch, a bee
line was made upon landing for the
Bowers fish merchants. The explana-
ton for this was that the "fsh were
running entirely too fast. The larg-
est fish, good sized trout, was cap
tured by Mr.. Martin. Mr.. Martin
spent the remainder of the trip dem
onstrating just how big the trout was.
John G. Saylor hooked crab and ex-
pressed himself as very well pleased.
Smyrna times., 1927-07-06

then again as the governor, himself,
explained "there is difference in
trout" The governor and his son,
Robert P. Robinson, Jr., made royal
hosts both on the fishing trip and at
the dinner given by the governor at
the Johnson Hotel, Bowers Beach, af-
forwards. This, however, did not pre-
vent the governor from landing the
first fish, a good sized trout. The trip
on the bay was made on the State Pa
troll boat Delaware, with Captain John
