Make-believers at work: Not al
ways are the stars the best subjects
for a story. Very often an obscure
character actor turns up with the
most colorful anecdotes-as we dis
cover today on the set Of Pardon

1t is one of those many vexatious
periods of rest between camera set

and Marguerite Chapman, with
Producer Director Leslie Fenton,
are sitting around with their ears
trained on the words Of an actor
named Herbert Evans. He plays q
mere butler in this movie and his
dialogue is lot better OF the screen
than 1t Is on.
Evans plays a butler as he has in
100 or more feature pictures. Years
ago, many years ago, he was the
manager of Coney Islands Luna
Park. He was also ringmaSter for
Ringing brothers in that outfits
heyday. At Luna such luminaries as
Jimmy Durante, Marie DRESSER, Bob
Burns. Ricardo and Stanley Cortez
and Cary Grant work for him.
"They were all such wonderful
people" Evans was saying in remi-
niscence. Jimmy played the piano
Ricardo and Stanley, now a top
cameraman, were both barkers.
Marie Dressler ran very successful
hot-dog stand, and Cary Grant,
then Archie Leach, was a stilt-
walker"
It's difficult to associate the rich
British accent of Evans with Cony
Island, but he continues and more
actors and technicians gather round
to listen in on his recolections.
II saw Archie-that Is, Mr.. Grant
"a while ago. He came up to me and
asked, DO you remember me?' I
said, DO you want me to remember
you?' Grant replied in the afilrma-
tive and very emphatically. Then
we talked about old times for an
hour and a half.
II used to advise these people
about their business affairs, which
weren't much to worry about in.
