Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Jun 1929)

to heights where reason can only laughingly follow; the filliping of the normal fancy with the abnormal?" And then there was "To the Ladies," which was not a bad picture at all. And, now and then, between legitimate theater engagements there have been pictures at Universal, "Taxi, Taxi!" being one, — "La Boheme" for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer being another. There was also a series of two-reel comedies, produced by Harold Lloyd, for Paramount release. But, somehow, the motion picture public has not become addicted to Horton as they should. Not as the Los Angeles theatergoing public has. Shaving Himself from Temptation SO I shaved my head," continued Eddie, picking up the abandoned remark and shaping it into a lariat of conversation. "It was nine or ten years ago. I had just returned from Oregon where I had been in stock. I went up to the Maine woods — miles from anywhere — alone with my dog. I wanted to spend the entire summer there. But I knew that if I got to thinking of the theater, I'd be popping back into town at the end of two weeks. The only thing to do was something that would make me unpresentable. And I shaved my head." Today his hair is dark and shining and well-brushed. There may be discreet grey hairs at the temples. He admits he has been on the stage for eighteen years. His first appearance was in the Columbia University Elay, "In Newport." He's been on the oards continuously ever since. "It was so desolate in the Maine shack that all I could hear was the Icrn cry of a loon, the rustle of pine needles, the soft drip of a nearby waterfall. One day I was out on the lake and I saw a taxi steam up and a tall figure descend. I couldn't imagine who it was. Paddling back, hurriedly, I discovered my brother. Winter, back from the war and full of ideas, with a telegram for me in his hand. "Winter wanted to go to Los Angeles and -tart some sort of business. I opened the K-legram and there was an offer from the Majestic Theater in Los Angeles for me." 1 he Horton boys couldn't resist a Fate 1 ke that, so they went. " Imagine the look on the face of the ! heater manager when he saw the new '■ading man enter with a Sing-Sing bob. Hut the hair grew and so did my liking for i .OS Angeles." Winter D. Horton is now manager of the ' heater where his brother is nightly drawing rowds. A sister has moved West. So has Mrs. Horton, mother of so much talent. No onder Eddie turns his back on Broadway. He Likes Likable Villainy I'D like to play Scarpia on the stage," said Edclie, suddenly. " I'd like to play r.arpia with a sense of humor. I'd like to ;)lay /ago, with a sense of humor, on the -f reen. I suppose every actor has his aspiritions." And the wise, witty smile flared. It's hard for an audience to hate a villain ' ith a sense of humor. And I should like to ' reate a likable villain — one that they . ould have the devil of a hard time hating." No wonder the students at tKe University M Southern California insist that Eddie 1 iorton address them every now and then. No wonder his fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi, ■ iiys out the house every time Eddie opens new show. No wonder I want an autographed ;ihotograph. Three silver cocktail shakers stood guard n a table in the Green Room. "They belong to the Bon Ton Club. ' .loria Swanson and her husband stop in on Vednesdays, and Lois Wilson and Maude f ulton, and others. We call it the Bon Ton -ocial Club." wm$ One was said to he prethi and the other,.
