Paul Is Really Modest.

At least one man has been found
who doesn't wish to become mo-
ton picture star. This man is Paul
Whiteman, who, with his band, helped
John Murray Anderson make king Of
jazz" now at the Rialto.
After reading over the script for this
MIN. Mr.. Whiteman almost walked Oh
the lot.
1t was his idea that folks might want
TO hear his band play, but they GER
tainly wouldn't care to see him act.
And so the matter remained a deadlock
Tor several weeks, until some one got IN
touch with John Murray Anderson, who
Is a close personal friend of Mr.. White
man, and he agreed at once to go to
the coast and work with Mr.. Whiteman
on the proposed picture.
After this conference, work was
started, Mr.. Anderson was given carte
blanche. He devised a picture in which
music and color play an important part.
But Paul keeps himself very modestiy
IN the background, only appearing TWO
or three times in the entire picture.
