The guy that always gets dirty — just like Wally did. The guy who gets booted out by dad, hut finally gets the girl — just like Wally did. Maybe it is chance selection of stories by Universal, to whom Dennyis contracted. Maybe it is premeditated.

They follow in the wake of the guy who always gets into trouble. Read Denny's fan mail. Look up the Exhibitors' reports on Denny pictures. Look at the booking sheet in the Universal Exchange. Denny is ringing in money for his company. And they know it. I am not saying that Reggie has taken Walk's beloved niche. Xo one could — ever. It isn't in the scheme of things that one man shall be an exact reproduction of another. Xor has Reggie exactly the same screen characteristics of Wally. But Reggie has that wholesomeness — that charm — that happy-go-lucky personality that is universal in its appeal. He embodies all that Wally did in Reggie's own way. He is youth emerging triumphant from its apparently overwhelming tribulations. "Once," said Reggie, crossing his whiteknickered legs, and drawing his lips into a humorous line, "I played in Chicago in a show that was so bad that Percy Hammond, in reviewing it, said it must have been written by Lydia Pinkham."

She would stay a year, she said. But she stayed only one week in England, dashed to France and Italy and hurried home as fast as she could. Xow we are building a house on two acres that I bought overlooking the Santa Monica Eay district." Reggie is tall and bronzed. Particularly bronzed the day I saw him. for he had just returned from a fishing excursion along the coast of Lower California. The expedition had encountered a terrific storm and had crammed the papers with news of their loss at sea. ~D EGGIE'S exploits often make the front page. ■J-MDccasionaUy the white roadster that he spins about in leaves the road — with Reggie in it — and Reggie spends several weeks mendini; a collarbone. He is vital. He does everything with enthusiasm. The same way with his fishing exploits. Reggie takes the "Barbarene" — named for his ten year old daughter.
