He is “Breezy” Easpp, Jr., the wonder child pit the screen, who has been featured, in his own right in several Universal productons. He is the son of Reaves Eason, well known Universal director, and has fteert given much latitude by his parent in the matter of choosing whether he will work or not. Given his preference in the matter, he always has insisted on playing with Harry Carey. When Mr. Carey wrote "The Fox” lie had the youngster in mind for an interesting part. Little ‘’Breezy Eason does not “act”; he just, lives the story in his childish mind and then does the obvious thing that a child would do, in enacting the role. The entire story is first told to the little boy, with, of course, special! emphasis put on his part, after which he goes ahead with a sincerity and naturalness which stamps his work as of the very highest art pf screen interpretation.
