On a platform stood an actor playing the role of a director. The cameras turned, the players poised for the opening words that would send them into action. But the actor playing the director did not speak. After a silent wait filled with sus- pense, Director Robert Florey called “Cut” and looked questioningly at the actor who had failed to speak his lines. “I'm sorry,” he faltered, “but I seem to be nervous. I'll be all right in a minute.” The actor, none other than Mau- rice Costello, original matinee idol of the screen, and father of Dolores, and Helene Costello, was playing his first part in talking pictures.
