Personal Quote:

[on working for Mack Sennett] I've been the most fired director in pictures . . . I was hired and fired, two fires to every hire. Finally they ran out of directors. So they let me be one. I got fired some more. Then Gilbert Seldes, when I was quite permanently fired, wrote a blurb in which he referred to one of my pictures as a "subtle achievement"... See more »

Trivia:

St.Clair's second wife, Margaret Holt, was the daughter of Californian E.M.Murray who invented the sliding ladder for shoe stores. See more »
