A scrambled gantry of odds and ends from a 1928 fragment includes a quirky Christmas gag about refusing to sell patent cigar lighters and a stream of unrelated notes. The passage casually shifts from a mock store pledge to a jury quote, a monument suggestion, and a cartoon caption about pedal motion, ending with a dissolution notice for a two person partnership.
A 1976 Los Angeles Examiner item recalls a desert shoot with 40 actors and crew under broiling sun. Beery completes a difficult scene as onlookers, including dancers dubbed Spearmint and Crisco, react with spontaneous applause.
