Who's Who on the Screen mVIN S. COBB Irvin S. Cobb, new member of Metro's literary staff, needs little introduction to the American public. A reporter who covered every story from a baseball game to a murder, Mr. Cobb found plenty to write about and succeeded in getting all of it written. He is one of the best known special feature writers in the newspaper world, because of his indomitable sense of humor. He is particularly noted among news- gatherers for his work in writing up the famous Thaw trial while the public will long cherish "Speaking of Operations," "Local Color," "Those Times and These," and other stories. Mr. Cobb was born in Paducah, Ky., and grew to the stature of manag- ing editor of the Paducah News-Democrat before leaving his native city. 395
