Va., where several scenes were taken for the latest Goldwyn Picture, “Back. to the Woods,” which comes to the Orpheum Theatre, Thursday, June 26. Herbert Rawlinson, her leading man, is six pounds lighter, he says, due to the Goldwyn star’s determi- nation to keep the company “on the go” after the director had called it a day for scene-taking and in the morning before work was started. “A three-mile hike after breakfast was just one of the many stunts Miss Normand mapped out for us,” Mr. Rawlin- son told an interviewer between scenes at the Fort Lee studios. “And, of course, there had to be dancing every night at the hotel. We couldn’t utter a com- plaint, for she was the only woman in the party, and it would have seemed cowardly to balk at anything she ordered for what she called amusement and diversion. “Miss Normand made herself a great favorite among the children at Grafton. They re- cognized her the first day we arrived and all during our stay they gathered around her. But for her constant association with the kiddies the rest of us wouldn’t have had a moment to ourselves. Her. strenuous pro- gram cost me about six pounds, but I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it.” Mr. Rawlinson, prominently identified as leading man with big screen productions, is mak- ing his first appearance in “Back to the Woods.” C.
