"This Man! My Daughter! This man, was in my daughter's bedroom!!!"

Captain Scott (Frank Mayo): Sergeant, I'm surprised! To think that a man in your military stand in ability! Should I allow such things happened in his company? It's almost neglect of his duty!

Sergeant Brophy (Edward Brophy):

"Speaking of thinking of father during strong bits, I'll tell you what always comes to my mind when I am called upon for an emotional scene. When I sailed from Liverpool the last time, I watched my mother standing on the wharf until she was lost in the fog, and the memory of those moments calls up every ounce of emotion in me and I can run the whole gamut with that before me."

Lormy's father Edwin Mayo died in February 18, 1900. Lormy said that after his father's death, he and his mother clung to each other in their grief and spent several years traveling thru Europe and later settled in Liverpool.(*Motion Picture Magazine, Sep 1920) But actually his mother Frances Johnstone remarried in May 25, 1903, to an English purser named Henry Butler Hardrige Palmer in Manhattan, New York City. So they ended up living in Liverpool, England. But Lormy never said about his mother's remarriage and the existence of his half brother to American press.

"I wonder what your grandfather and father would have thought of motion pictures as an art."

"I fear grandfather would never have considered them seriously, for he was too much of the old school to welcome such a radical step, but I am sure father would have welcomed them as a marvelous means of perpetuating the work of great actors."

-Motion Picture Magazine, Sep 1920, p.100
