THIS IS LIFE
By Thomas A. Boynton
The day of “stand-ins” is rap
idly drawing to a high climax—at
least so it seemed when, recently,
Miss Palma Wayne, a keen obser- j
ver c { one of those gorgeous things j
that motion picture cameramen j
gaze upon but never — or rarely— j
photograph happened upon a
stand-in for none other than the
popular and debonaire Charlie
McCarthy of international fame.
According to the lovely stand-in’s
story, “Extra-Extra” in the cur_ j
rent Cosmopolitan magazine, she
was walking through the set of
“Goldwyn Follies” when she hap
pened upon the little extra. She
wrote: “I saw the stand-in, a
wooden manikin extra in evening
tails. They propped him up in
a case, and as he stood there he
might have been a symbol of the
credulous illusions and counterfeit
creations of this kingdom of sil
ver shadows”.
