THE FAITH HEALER 83 I got from New York's picture critics. The worst of the lot was Alan Dale in the New York American. When I finished reading his review I felt like one of the Cherry sisters. This is what he said about me: . . . And the heavy was one of those smirking villains that have gone out of fashion. The vogue for gentlemen who look the villain part has passed. We demand that our nefarious ones shall not have their nefariousness written on their coat sleeves or on their mustaches. In such a picture such a villain was absurd. Otherwise the cast was excellent. . . . For three days I was haunted by that review. I even contemplated shaving off my mustache! I was afraid to go out and look for another job. I could picture those casting directors tossing that review right in my face. "What a ham I am," I told myself. 'Where did I ever get the idea that I was an actor?'' And then, on the third day, the telephone rang and it was First National Pictures calling. Sidney Franklin wanted me for a new picture, and the part was to have fourth billing. "I saw you in The Faith Healer," he told me, "and I thought you gave a fine performance." Since that time I have always been a great admirer of Mr. Franklin.
