We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
TWO TALENTED ACTORS ""J^HE two young men you see on this page are making names for themselves in their respective screen worlds—one British, the other American. John Clements, on the left, is twenty-nine and half an inch under six feet in height. Although it was back in 1933 that he did his first film work, it was his role in " Knight Without Armour ” as the young Commissar torn between duty and sympathy that gave him his first big opportunity. Since then he has been in “ South Riding ” and “ The Four Feathers,” taking the role of the hero of the A. E. W. Mason’s famous novel, who, you will remember, was considered a coward, and redeemed himself. Educated at Cambridge, John Clements went straight into theatrical work—and the theatre is his hobby as well as his living, for he runs his Intimate Theatre at Palmers Green for his own enjoyment. J^ENNIS O’Keefe, seen below, was promoted from extra player to leading man overnight. He was appearing in a “ bit ’’ in “ Saratoga ” when Clark Gable and the director joined in agreement that he had “ something.” He was given a test and the role of Wallace Beery’s son in “ Bad Man of Brimstone,” and has since added considerably to the good impression he made in that film in such productions as “ Bum Em Up O'Connor ” and “ The Kid from Texas.” Dennis O'Keefe’s real name—under which he started his career—is Edward James Flanagan, and acting is his second film career. His father was one of the well- known variety team of Flanagan and Edwards, and went to Hollywood to make a series of silent comedies just after the Great War. After the young Flanagan had graduated from high school, he began his first screen career, and for a year worked as “ gag-man ” for “Our Gang ’ comedies. But although his first career didn’t “ take,” his second career shows signs of far greater success. M argaret Lindsay began her screen career because of her English accent. She was born in Iowa, but because English accents were then in great demand on the New York stage, Margaret—then Margaret Kies— came to England, where she acquired the accent and the English name of Lindsay. By the time she had disclosed that she was not English at all her charm and talent had made it immaterial what nationality she was.
