Took Business Course Educated in Racine, Wisc., Miss Sayers took a business course which fitted her as a stenographer or secre- tary. These are the occupations upon which she pinned her hopes in case she didn't “click” in the movies. Miss Sayers didn't have to wait long. Her previous stage experience got her work as an extra—and then Sennett saw in her the mak- ings of a future comedienne. He | signed her to a contract. “Today” is a romantic love photo- play quite suited to the gallant ways and manners of Nagel. He is seen at his best in this picture.
