Three 'Little' Girls Spend Christmas with Mother Across the Seas

A Christmas party in France brought back memories of the time when they were little girls to these famous sisters. They are too grown up now for dolls, and Natalie the youngest (middle) of the sisters, has a little boy of her own. Buster Keaton Jr. They are visiting their mother at Nice for the Noel holidays. All of the Talmadge girls have starred in the movies and have been married. Constance has been wed twice with rumors of a third wedding approaching. Natalie is the wife of Buster Keaton, the movie comedian, while Norma is the wife of Joseph Schenck, the movie magnate. Their mother has a villa at Nice, France where she spends most of her time. This is the first time the family has been together since the birth of Natalie's son. Norma and Constance are still starring in the movies.

Sailors Beware!

Avast and So Forth! The candid camera goes to sea and finds Buster Keaton megaphoning orders to his crew as he steers his new yacht into San Francisco Bay.

Thar She Blows! Buster Keaton isn't steering his yacht as the candid camera might have you believe. He's merely operating the winch from a cushioned chair.

Land Ho! Through the wrong end of his binoculars, Buster Keaton discovers San Francisco, fully three feet away from his yacht and the candid cameraman.

Buster Keaton, Mariner, Arrives on New Yacht.

"Unaccustomed as I am to public speaking..."

Buster Keaton used the whistle on his palatial new yacht as a mariner.

The famous comedian arrived at Yacht Harbor shortly before noon, standing at the wheel to megaphone landing orders to his crew.

Then one of the been brought a plush-covered chair from the dining salon so that the skipper could operate the winch in comfort as they drew alongside the pier.

The yacht was the Canim of Seattle, but she is to be rechristened.

"I have a wonderful name for her--the Natalie of Los Angeles," Keaton said proudly. "What do you think of that?"

Mrs. Natalie Talmadge Keaton had come to San Francisco from Seattle by train to avoid a rough journey along the coast, but did not happen to be at the pier when the yacht docked.

She was to board the ship yesterday afternoon. The couple will sail at dawn today for Los Angeles in order to see the preview Thursday of Keaton's new picture, "Speak Easily."

The quarrel that threatened last April when the comedian flew off to San Diego with his two small sons seemed to have been forgotten yesterday as he concluded happily.

"And as soon as I can get away we're going to Panama."
