WHEN Wallace Beery was sixteen, he ran away from home to travel with Ringling's Circus. His job was to feed elephants ! From that, because he could sing and dance, he became an actor in musical comedy, and established for himself such a reputation that Essanay offered him a film contract, and he played for Essanay as a Swedish comedian.
Very soon, his general ability as an actor resulted in his playing in straight parts. He achieved distinction in ' The Four Horsemen," " Robin Hood," ' The Pony Express," "Old Ironsides," and "The Three Musketeers."
Then he was featured in Raymond Hatton, including " We're in the Navy Now."
His more recent successes have been in " Jenny
Lind," "Billy the Kid," "Way for a Sailor," and
' The Big House," his greatest individual performance.
He is, as the whole film world knows, starred with
Marie Dressier in " Min and Bill," and together they
make the grandest motion picture team in the world.
In this film they set standards of comedy and pathos
which will not easily be equalled until we see them
together again, which, let us hope,
will be soon. The sooner the better.
