Humphrey Bogart (right) Wak ej. Claude Rains Two first rate swaggers put Warren William and George Sanders “ on the map,’’ although there were several years between them. It was back in 1932 that “The Honour of the Family,” showed us a new leading man from the New York stage. His name was Warren William. The role was that of a swaggering, self-confident, arrogant officer. And Warren William’s magnificent swagger could not have been bettered. In the part of Lord Stacey in “ Lloyd’s of London," swagger, self-confidence and arrogance were all demanded—and George Sanders provided them. It was unusual villainy that brought Humphrey Bogart and Alan Baxter into the limelight Alan Baxter’s first film role was in “ Mary Burns, Fugitive,” a gangster film. His very quietness and immobility of face, and the fact that a gangster was portrayed as being young and good looking, made him outstanding. “ The Petrified Forest ” made Humphrey Bogart. Who can forget him walking into that isolated little petrol station, soft-spoken and casual, and yet so utterly menacing ? John Beal came from the stage to make a great impression as the young man accused of murder in “ Hat, Coat and Glove.” It was back in 1932 that Alan Mowbray appeared in the first version of “ The Man in Possession,” which starred Robert Montgomery. The part was not a large one, but his polished, humorous performance proved to be the first of many others. • Edmund Gwenn was put on the film map as the stern, harsh father in “ Hindle Wakes”—talkie version as well as silent. “ They Won’t Forget," that grim drama of the hatred that still exists between the northerners and southerners in America, brought two new- comers favourable attention. Gloria Dickson, as the wife of the young schoolmaster and Allyn Joslyn as the cynical reporter, found themselves in great demand after the film. Una O’Connor went to Hollywood to play her stage role in “ Cavalcade ” when it was filmed. She has been on the screen ever since. Perhaps the most extraordinary of all the performances that have put players " on the map ” in the screen world was that by Claude Rains. The film was “ The Edmund Gwenn Invisible Man," and he was Hindle not seen at all. He literally talked himself into fame.
