going through the pillory ordeal.
The executioners dragged and bound
the misshapen flair-to the revolving
wheel. One of the giants raised his
whip and the lash \rhisiled through
the air. Actual sobs broke from the
audience of playcrs. They were pic-
ture folks. part of the illusion them-
selves. but still as impressionable to
really fine acting as laymen.
\Vith the end of the scene came
such an outburst as never before
heard on a motion picture lot. They
applauded. they wept and cheered.
Chant-y astounded. tried to speak.
but couldn't. As he faced the cheer-
ing host—his own people-he actual-
ly wept. And he is not ashamed of
not .much more than four feet in
stature. and. as the story describes
the character—nearly as broad as he
is tall. To preserve the exact seni-
blence throughout down to the fin-
est detail. “still photographs" were
taken ut the end of each day‘s work
and at the beginning or the follow-
ing day's labours. In this manner
the tinycst flaw in make—up was
readily detected.
How well he succeeded in making
the character a living. breathing per-
sonality is now a matter or history.
