Some Model Young Men in the Movies These are old familiar faces for they have long smiled at you from advertising posters and magazine covers. Now they are in the movies. Long ago girls learned that an artist's model throne could be used to good advantage as a stepping stone into the movies, but it is only recently that young men have followed that route with notable success. Allan Simpson, below, you will recognize as the hero of many of Leyendecker's drawings. Now he is appearing in Paramount pictures, his most recent ones being "The Exciters"' and "Glimpses of the Moon." Photo by Frank Diem Luckiest of the trio is young Neil Hamilton, whose smiles have helped to sell hats, cigarettes, and tooth paste, for D. W. Griffith himself sponsored his entry into motion pictures. He plays a prominent part in "The White Rose," and distinguishes himself for his sincerity as well as for his extreme good looks. He is an ambitious young chap, and is working hard in a Brooklyn stock company between film engagements. A big future is predicted for Reed House, the boy in the center, for he has the same sort of boyish charm that made Glenn Hunter popular. Young Mr. House was an advertising model often used by manufacturers of collars and hats, but the Thespian urge got him and he went on the stage. When Glenn Hunter left the cast of "The Intimate Strangers," Reed House played his role. Later he went into pictures and recently played in "High Speed Lee" and "The Broken Violin." And already he is being considered for big parts in light comedies.
