Frac- | tlcally from birth I had been on the ] vaudeville stage with uiy parents, who j did a rough-and-tumble act, using me j as a sort of football. It didn't' hurt | me, for I was trained from babyhood j to like it, und to know Just how to take falls. Two world-famous ac tresses took exception to this parental training, one the great Sarah Bern hardt and the other beautiful Lily l^angtry. My father was Introduced to Bernhardt who )vas on the same bill with us, and when he bent to kiss her hand, she said haughtily, "Are you not ashamed to make ze money from ze cruelty to ze little garcon?" But she wus later convinced that my par ents loved mo and cared for me as Jealously as any parents cortld. The second, Lily I*angtry, did not object to any cruel treatment accord- I ed me ? rather she was probably tempt- | ed to give me some herself, for 1 sat j on her long train when she majestlcal- i ly walked across the boards, causing 1 laughter which annoyed the lovely ' lady. I I 'was just twenty-one years old i when the Shuberts made me a very j attractive offer to enter musical com- j edy at $2.">0 a week. It meant Sep- i i Buster Keaton aratlon of the Three Keutons for the ! first time and nt first I hesitated In spite of the fact that the salary was most attractive. I finally accepted and was awaiting the call to rehears als when ) had a visit from Joseph M. Schenck, who suggested that I make a series of two-reel comedies under his management He offered me $40 a week, but. In spite of the great difference In this sum and what the Shuberts offered, I at last decided on the movies ? and right here may 1 state that I've never regretted my choice. I made my first pictures at the Comlque Film company's studios, but my production plans were cut short by the outbreak of the war. I had only made five two-reel comedies when called to Camp Kearney. After a period of. training there I sailed for France where 1 served as a private. 1 was abroad about a year, seeing some interesting Bervice. After the armistice 1 helped entertain until or dered home. When I got back to the good old U. S. A., I resumed work under Mr. Schenck's able management and re mained with him until about a year ago when I signed with the Metro CJoldwyn-Mayer company. Befoi'e I was elevated to stardom. I was co-starred with William Crane In "The Saphead," a picture which made a great hit. After this I was given my own company by Mr. Schenck. My first picture under thlH arrangement was "One Week." Among my most successful pictures were '"Hie Navigator," "The General," "College/ " "Steamboat Bill, Jr." ami "The Cameraman." Recent pictures In which I have ap peared are "The Passionate Plumber" and "Speak Basily." Jimmy, "Schnoz sde," Durante played with me In both of these pictures. In motion pictures as In any other profession, yon do best what you en Joy most. Comedy is my forte because I like it. !
