Fourth Acquisition from Pasadena Playhouse
EARL EBY, another of the newly signed discoveries of Carl Laemmle, Jr. is versatile indeed. He has acted, stage directed, written plays, designed stage sets, and can sing, dance and play the piano. He was at one time connected with the famous Pasadena Community Playhouse, the training ground for so many screen stars. He has managed Fanchon and Marco stage shows and acted in fifty different plays. His work in "Cross Country Cruise" attracted Mr. Laemmle's attention and brought him his contract.
At present Eby is playing in "Let's Talk It Over" with Chester Morris and Mae Clarke. He is the fourth player Carl Laemmle has obtained from that Pasadent Playhouse. The others are Gloria Stuart, Onslow Stevens and Jacqueline Wells who played in "The Black Cat." Douglass Montgomery who has just finished a wonderful tale in "Little Man, What Now," with Margaret Sullavan was also a product of this prolific Playhouse.
