GOING TO BED AT
NIGHT APPEALS
TO OLD STACER


every night in his own bed and
plant flowers in his back yard
and otherwise do the things which
were denied him so long.
Victor, who is plump and jolly
and as funny in the movies as he
ever was behind the footlights, is
playing now in R-K-O's She's got
That SWING" starring himself, Hell
en- Broderick, Gene Raymond and
Ann Sothern.
And it is fine" he said upon
the stage where he was waiting
comfortably for his call. "I get to
work every morning at nine and
go home for dinner and l don't
have to work at night.
"I never knew that a pair OF
house slippers could be such tun.
And as for going to sleep at night,
boy, it's great. Why, I frequently
go to bed at seven o'clock, just for
the satisfaction of it; me who never
used to get into the hay before
two am, if then.
Twenty years ago, he said, he
was in Hollywood and made a cou-
pie of pictures, directed by Cecil
B. DeMille, who was just another
struggling young movie man then.
Two decades ago the films looked
not SO hot to Victor, so he return
ed to the stage, playing in stock,
in vaudeville, and in musical COM
edy.
He reached the heights with his
Characterization of Vice President
Throttlebottom, which even Vice
President John N. Garner enjoyed,
and then he played in later mu-
sical comedy his famous part as
Public Enemy number 13.
80 I've had my fun and my hon.
ors," he said. 1--WE had my little
triumphs and my hard work, and
so I'm going to enjoy life at last"
Particularly does he like Jne NOV
les, not only for the ease they have
brought him, but for the amuse-
ment.
Il just sit back" he added, land
I get million quiet laughs out of
things that nobody else seems to
notice"
Yesterday he got smacked and
Miss Broderick got black eye, and
these are occurrences of such rarity
that they don't bother him.
The picture, it seems, called for
a scene in which Solly Ward, the
whiskery professor, was to hypno-
tize Miss Broderick. Then he was
to try and try again in vain to
wake her and finally to slap her
on the cheek.
He hauled off-too enthusiastic
cally-and walloped Victor in the
stomach with his back swing. Then
he Whacked Miss Broderick so hard
that her eye turned greenish and
her face swelled so badly that the
picture had to be called off for a
day.
His cheek still was slightly swol-
len today, but the cameras were
grinding again.
That's because I'm just supposed
to be a coincidence Miss Broder-
lex said. IF my face is puffed up
a bit, look funny. It's good thing
I'm not supposed to be the love
interest in this film"
The picture is musical comedy,
really, without the music. The plot
is frothy and the gags are all inn
portant. To make sure that the
audiences won't try to take it seri-
ously, R-K-O has designed sets
which simply don't make sense.
Boudoirs look almost like art GAL
leries, draped with satin.
Living rooms are so modernistic
that the chairs themselves look
uncomfortable, while a hotel lobby
in which today's shooting is TAX
ing place-is a symphony of baby
blue and white and silver, so fancy
that there is nothing with which
to compare it, not even a surrealist
painting.
