one Of his jokes bounced right back and landed
in his lap-to the tune of $500.
Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks were
involved in this prank, too. They were going
East so Grammar rented a trained goose and
had it put in their drawing room. The next
day he received wire from the couple reading:
Thanks much for the goose stop it was de-
licious" Sid then had to pay the owner $500
for the goose.
Back in 1929, just after the stock market
crash and when all Hollywood was thinking
more about the market than about making
pictures Grammar hired hearse and filled it
with Negro singers. Then he sent it to the
United Artists studio and had the Negroes sing
funeral songs.
One day Lawrence Tibbett and w. s. Van
Dyke really mortified Jimmy Durante. 1t was
during the making of THE Cuban Love Song"
They told "Snozze" that they had an added
sequence in masquerade party and sent him
to the studio wardrobe for sword, helmet and
suit of armor.

structed him.
Jimmy was there at the appointed hour and
paraded before an amused crowd for an hour
before it finally dawned him that he had
been tricked.

"The Prizefghter and the Lady" Van invited
Max to be guest of honor at dinner party he

Just as they got to the edge of the swimming
pool Van gave Make hefty shove and in he
went new tuxedo and all. And was he mad!

the two jokesters managed accidentally" to
upset and smash every one q the vases. Lew
writhed in agony but remained too perfect a
host to make any comment. Three days later
the real vases were sent back to him.
Carole Lombard who will 60 to great lengths
to get q laugh, tried to get one at the expense
Of Norman Taurog, but It bounced right back
at her instead.
Taurog had birthday just few days after
completing picture in which q bear had fig
ured prominently. And the bear had caused
the director so much grief that he never wanted
to hear one even mentioned again.
So Carole bought q bear and had it delivered
10 Taurog's home birthday present. Nor
man retaliated by hiring an expensive limou-
sine and sending the bear to the Zoo in 1t. tell

The scene called for a servant to make an
entrance with tea tray. Everything had been
rehearsed, the cameras were locked up and the
scene was about to be shot ~Action!' shouted
Brown. The door opened and in came Joan
carrying the tray.
Maurice Chevalier got laugh in similar
manner during the making of "The Merry
Widow" The scene was one in which he was
supposed to walk down long corridor. When
the word was given and the director settled
back to watch the action, Chevalier suddenly
appeared riding a bicycle.
Wallace Beery and Raymond Hatton sur
prsed their director and furnished the COM
pany with good laugh some years ago when
they suddenly came on a set wearing gas
masks.

play foot ball and had Barnett there posing
as an important out-of-town guest. Vince then
went to work on Johnny Mack Brown, who
had won national grid fame at the University
Of Alabama q few years previously.
Every move Johnny made was criticised by
Barnett until he soon had Johnny completely
crazy and so mad that he would cheerfully
have punched his tormentor had it not been for
the fact that he thought him guest Of Dougs.
One day during the making Of "The Merry
Widow" Director Ernst Lubitsch said II think
we need violin strain" He beckoned to Bella
Lobov famous violinist who had been brought
from New York especially for the picture. Can
you give 1t to us?" he requested.
Loblov closed his eyes as he started to play.
Melody, golden melody hoated into the micro
phone.
Now" said Lubitsch when he had finished,
"just to make sure we'll have q piayback."
The entire company listened. The notes OF
a violin came back through the loud speaker.
Suddenly one of them went sour. The Holinist
started as though he had been shot. Then
came a veritable cascade of raucous dissonances.
Loblov's face turned crimson. He glared at his
violin and was about to dash 1t to the floor
when an outburst of laughter enlightened him.
Lubitsch had prepared a sour sound track in
advance for his little joke.
DARTIES always furnish perfect settings for
those who would get laughs at the expense
of Others Bebe Daniels had quite q crowd at
her home one night for bridge party. First
prize was won by Jack MacDermott, q screen
writer, and Bebe presented him with . live
baby pig. Several months later Bebe found the
pig grown to O0-pound porker, tied on her
front porch. An accompanying note read,
"He grew up-so I'm giving him back to you"

~ that life in Hollywood is one con-
tinuous laugh, it is an odd but
demonstrable fact that laughs in the
film colony often come pretty high.
The movie people it seems, must have their
fun. That's only natural Their lives alternate
between high pitched excitement and dull, mo-
notonous idleness-and to ease the tension only
one thing will do-laughter.
Which is why the film colony is place where
laughs can be extraordinarily expensive.
Sometimes single laugh costs several hun
dred dollars Sometimes it costs some cele-
brated star moment of acute embarrassment
or indignation. But whatever the price, the
actors and actresses are always ready 70 pay.
They must have their laughs.
And because this is so Hollywood has de-
veloped a number of practical jokers. These
gay souls put in no small amount Of time seeing
to it that life never gets too dull or serious.
A PRACTICAL joke usually has TO have .
victim, and Hollywood is no exception No
person in the film colony is too important-or,
on the other hand, too insignificant-to be q
victim. Some of the most famous members Of
the film colony have had to serve on the re-
ceiving end of the mad pranks of the fun
seekers.
Cost never seems to enter the minds of the
jokesters either because the expense seldom
comes out of their pockets set during the
making of a picture is a favorite spot as there
always is a good audience-the fact that two
or three takes each costing several hundred
dollars, might be spoiled never being taken into
consideration. Nor do the celebrities think
anything of spending painstaking hours just to
get laugh one of their fellows
John Barrymore is noted for the stunts he
pulls. During the making of "Rasputin and the
Empress" in which John, Ethel and Lionel were
teamed, John and Ethel managed to get Lionel
almost torn to pieces.
There was a scene in which Ethel had two
huge Russian wolf hounds So the night before
broke into Lionel's dressing room, took his
several strange dogs. The next day the wolf
hounds kept leaping all over Lionel.
At first the actor thought they were showing
affection and highly pleased. But as the
hours wore on and they continued their paving
matter how much he demonstrated they kept
right on. Not until late in the afternoon did
he discover that it was the scent of the strange
dogs that exciting them
