KNIGHTHOOD STILL IN FLOWER
Errol Flynn tells a story of Sir Cedric Hardwicke, the eminent English actor imported from London by Warner Bros., to play Dean Plarcourt in the Cosmopolitan picturisation of Lloyd C. Douglas’ best-selling novel, “Green Light.” The, “Green Light” company, it seems, was on location, shooting exteriors on a promontory near San Pedro. There was a shortage of canvas chairs for some unexplained reason; and Sir Cedric, hot and tired, stood about looking rather displeased with it all.
Oren Haglund, the property man, noticed his predicament and obtained a chair from the property truck. He pushed it under Sir Cedric. “Thank you. Thank you,” said the titled English actor. “Oh, that’s all right,” replied the property man. “If the King of England thinks enough of you to give you a knighthood, the least I can do for you is give you a chair!”
