The Movies
copyright by Hal c Herman
By BUSTER KEATON
1CAN hardly say that I "broke" Into j
the movies; rnther I oozed In. 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. !

fied year, made-her professional debut

In vaudeville she made her Broadway

played in "A la Broad wrty.M ''Vera
Vloletta" and "A Winsome Widow."

vnudevllie for five years, specializing
In Imitations of (Jeorge M. Cohan and
ICddlo Foy.

? and "The Mimic World." It was at
this time that she wrote her first play,
"Sex/* This sensational production
ran two years with Miss West as th*
atar. * v*
Her greatest success, "Diamond Ml,*
followed.
Giving Variety to
Fish on the Menu
Since fish Is now served more or
less frequently, It Is important for
the housewife to know how to pre
pare and serve it In a variety of
ways. It is thus that she provides'
menus free from monotony even
though such food appears often.
Fish ihat is of tine rich flavor
should not have its tast# impaired by
too ' highly seasoned sauces, while
those that are rather lacking in
flavor should he accompanied by .Ash
sauces. Salmon, once a choice flsh.
has lost prestige somewhat through*
its prevalence in cnnned goods. It
lends itself to so many different ways
of preparation, thnt homenmkers are
npt to use it too often. This should
be guarded against, and other kinds
of flsh bo more frequently Intro
duced.
Fish Pudding.
Two cups of finely minced flsh
previously boiled and having skin
nnd bones removed, 1 cup highly
seasoned white sauce, V& cup mnshed
potato, also highly seasoned with
salt and pepper, *4 teaspoon onion
Juice, 1 teaspoon minced parsley, 1
tablespoon grnted carrot, 1 table
spoon minced celery, 3 eggs. Mix
all Ingredients "except the eggs. Beat
the mixture well. Add the beaten
egg yolks, and lastly fold In the
stiffly beaten egg whites. Pour into a
buttered bnking dish, and bake in a
moderate oven for 20 minutes. Browp
under the heat. Grated "cheese can
bo sprinkled on top of the pudding.
