Hollywood (1936)

VAMP POSfYVORTKAITS EDWARD ARNOLD He Was Born In New York City . . . but spent his early youth in Germany with his parents . . . who returned to the United States when he was seven . . . His adolescent years were fraught with tragedy ... for his father died when he was eleven . . . his mother when he was fifteen . . . and his formal schooling ended with his father's death . . . when the youngster helped to support his family ... by working as a newsboy, a bell-hop, a janitor's assistant and a jeweler's apprentice. Truant officers were the bane of his boyish existence . . . for they jerked him from jobs that paid little ... to school desks which offered much . . . But young Arnold couldn't get the education he wanted . . . not when each dollar he earned was of such tremendous importance ... to the hungry mouths at home . . . But Arnold is making up for it now ... by frankly spoiling his three youngsters . . . and giving them everything he didn't have . . . when he was young! Arnold became an actor by accident ... he spent what few leisure hours he had ... in an East Side settlement house . . . where he became interested in amateur theatricals . . . He displayed unexpected histrionic talents . . . which later led to a professional career ... on the stage and in early silent pictures . . . not always were there parts waiting, however . . . and there were times when he sold insurance . . . and was a traveling salesman . . . for a wholesale grocery firm! His return to the screen took place four years ago . . . when he was "discovered" by Hollywood producers . . . while playing in a Pacific coast company of Whistling in the Dark ... He played several unimportant parts . . . but made his first big impression upon audiences . . . in the role of Joan Crawford's drunken husband ... in Sadie McKee . . . After that outstanding performance ... it was just a matter of months . . . until he became a star in his own right . . . which he has remained ever since . . . proving that scene-stealing ... is one form of larceny . . . which pays heavy dividends. Best of all Arnold likes such roles as he played ... in Diamond Jim and Meet Nero Wolfe, his new Columbia picture.
