Advertising Section 115 Dick had been a lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps; he was an expert pilot. William Wellman, the director, had been a buddy of Dick, and wanted him to have the part. The result is common knowledge. Dick got the part and made a great hit. Since then, Wellman usually demands Dick for his pictures. And Richard will go on for hours telling you how grateful he is to Wellman for giving him his first real chance — for having faith in him when no one else did. Except Jobyna, of course. Jobyna, in the days when every one said she was crazy, must have thought Dick had worth-while possibilities, that here was a man who needed only to be set on his feet. With Joby's love to inspire him, that's exactly what happened. With her devotion, he has become a much changed man — reliable, sincere, straightforward, one of the most likable men in Hollywood.

When Fox brought more than twenty hack dramaturgists from New York to Hollywood to dialogize, the Hollywood hacks yelled as lustily as a little boy who'd lost his candy. After paying these writers for three months, and getting nothing from them, a special car was chartered and they were forthwith returned to the city of great achievement. It was rumored that several others, who came out on their own and got brief jobs with Paramount, were riding blind baggage on the same train. There still aren't more than seven dialogue writers in town. Fat Comes at 40 to most people — for this reason At about the age of 40 most men and women take on fat. Medical men know the reason.
