JACK EARLE JACK EARLE, although not the tallest man in the world is without a doubt the youngest giant in the entire world. He is sixteen, having been born July 3, 1906, and stands seven feet four inches in height. He weighs 270 pounds, and carries his huge form with extraordinary poise and ease. He was born in Denver, Colorado. His hair is dark brown, and his eyes are blue. His education consists of public and high school, and a year of art schooling. He is a graduate of the El Paso High School, and lived in El Paso until a movie scout discovered him, and invited him to the movie city. It was then that Century Film Corporation engaged him, and it is with this company that he is now under contract. Earle's first appearance before a camera was as the giant of Century's "Jack and the Beanstalk." in which Baby Peggy played the role of little Jack. This was in June, 1922. Since then Earle has appeared in ten more Century comedies, including his first starring vehicle, "A Big Gent," which will be released early in 1923. Earle has his own home — a cozy bunga low in the foothills of Hollywood. Among his hobbies swimming and cartooning come first. Then his garden. He also writes a great deal, and is working on a story now which will make his next picture for the Century people. He is well liked in the community where pictures are made. 82
