Picture Show Annual 147 L arry Semon began his professional life as a cartoonist. His father, Zera Semon, is well known to the older theatre-goers as “ Zera the Great,” one of the greatest magicians of past years, and it was to prevent Larry from travelling with him on the stage that he was sent to an art school, where his sense of humour, with its many peculiar twists, soon led him to work as a cartoonist on a New York paper. It was from his father that Larry learned about magic, and this has been of great use to him on the films, where he has originated many clever stunts and illusions of his own. Two of his pictures seen this year are “ The Wizard of Oz ” and “ The Perfect Clown.”
