Merton of the Movies

CHAPTER XIV
9/55

"If I ain't let to mop I git rough till I'm simply a scandal." It was an affecting scene, marred only by one explosive bit of coarse laughter from an observing cowboy at the close of the old mother's speech.

Merton Gill glanced up in sharp annoyance at this offender.
Baird was quick in rebuke.
"The next guy that laughs at this pathos can get off the set," he announced, glaring at the assemblage.

There was no further outbreak and the scene was filmed.
There followed a dramatic bit that again involved the demented mother.
"This ought to be good if you can do it the right way," began Baird.
"Mother's mopping along there and slashes some water on this Mexican's boot-where are you, Pedro?
Come here and get this.

The old lady sloshes water on you while you're playing monte here, so you yell Carramba or something, and kick at her.

You don't land on her, of course, but her son rushes up and grabs your arm--here, do it this way." Baird demonstrated.
