Now you wouldn't think that It was a punishment or anything like that, to get paid for kissing Florence Vidor, would you? And neither did Creighton, when he started out. And there isn't anything to indicate that Florence thought she was abused when she had to hi«* Creighton— when they stalled out. And so llrnst had them rehearse it about eight times, and the first eight kisses seemed to be very satisfactory all around. Then they turned on the lights and started the cameras and they started kissing in earnest, and every time something went wrong. We sat there for an hour and 10 minutes and watched 39 kisses before they finally got the siene right ,and along about the 25th kiss you could see that every time Florence had a kiss coming she wanted to scream, and Creighton was so darned mad he couldn’t hardly see, and by the time they finally got through the 39th kiss they were both so doggone sore at each other that ♦ hey didn't speak all the rest of that day. • • • Looking Backward.
