MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATIONS Tod ay i n Holl y wo o The Tragic Death of Will Rogers affected Hollywood as no other filmland fatality has ever done before. His friendliness, his joviality and his utter simplicity had won a vast following everywhere and especially in Hollywood itself. When the newspaper extras appeared on the streets telling of the plane crash in Alaska, which also cost the life of Wiley Post, the Boulevard's calm appearance was suddenly upset. When Rogers left Claremore, Oklahoma, he sought a career as a lasso tossing cowboy on the New York stage. His dexterity with the rope was soon overshadowed by his quaint humor. He entered silent pictures as a natural development of his popularity, but success did not follow until the talking pictures gave him an outlet for his ready wit. With the talkie revolution Rogers forged ahead to become one of Hollywood's most beloved and most popular figures. His death leaves the same tremendous gap in Hollywood ranks as did the passing of Marie Dressier. No imitators can ever adequately replace these two fine masters of comedy. They were typically American. When Warner Baxter went far into the wilds of the high Sierra mountains to do the bandit leader role in Robin Hood of El Dorado, he found himself besieged by a daily gallery of 200 spectators who wanted autographs, snap shots, and souvenirs. He was very obliging and always good natured. "Why not?" Warner asked. "If these people will bother to journey into the wilds 120 miles from the nearest railroad, surely I can do this much in return." And he means it. That's why everyone on location was proud to be working with Warner. He struts Warner Baxter no airs. He is intensely human. Despite All Efforts to minimize his troubles, the truth is that W. C. Fields is far from well. Friends say that it will be close to a year before he recovers from an illness far more serious than published accounts have revealed. Fields has been suddenly made aware of his immense popularity right here in filmland. He has had almost as many messages of sympathy from film celebrities as he has had from his fans. That doesn't happen too often in Hollywood. W. C. Fields SCENE : LlL Y PONS' gorgeous house party. Principals: Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi and Peter Lorre. Action: All three trying to scare the daylights out of each other! Straight jackets were provided for the guests who couldn't take it. OCTOBER, 1935
