[on director
Sidney Olcott] He loved a fight and was as tenacious as a bulldog. His method of direction would not be tolerated today. Shouts, threats, sarcasm, bullying, cajoling, petting, he would try each in turn. But after the scene was over it was always the same--an arm thrown around the shoulder, compliments, enthusiasm. His people adored him, respected him and would (and did) risk their lives for him.
