Edward F. Cline directed a motion picture starring MAE WEST — — but he didn't describe it like that. Instead (referring to the turmoil between the bombshell and her booze-loving co-star) he said: "I wasn't directing, I was referee-ing."
• • Born on 4 November 1891 in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Edward F. Cline entered the world of cinema as an actor with Keystone in 1913, where he encountered a rotund juggler from Pennsylvania, William Claude Dukenfield.
• • Working on "My Little Chickadee" [1940] for Universal Pictures must have been memorable. That year he also directed the comedy "The Bank Dick" starring W.C. Fields.
• • Edward Francis Cline died during the month of May — — on 22 May 1961 — — at age 69 in Hollywood, California.
