ROD LA ROCQUE
Tke Star Wko Grew Younger on the Screen.
ROD LA ROCQUE,
OX the screen Rod La Roequo was old before ho was young ! This sounds rather curious, but it is the truth. He was so often cast for eldorly parts such as General Grant in " According to the Code." Not but what he enjoyed some of these character roles, and Rod considers that very often they are far more difficult than leading man parts.
" The hero generally has a pleasant allround time of it, and gets all the praise," ho says, " while the character man has to roally act."
Rod La Roeque docs not want to be starred until he has done something which will stand. He says " If I ever do achieve something worth while, and an offer comes along which means more than the title, I'll be glad to have it. In the meantime — well, I'm satisfied."

ROD LA ROCQUK.S chance to play a leading part came one day when Bryant Washburn was ill, and could not bogin his new picture. The film director did not know what to do until Rod persuaded him (<> let him take the part. Rod certainly mad • good, and he has been playing leads practically ever since.
He has played opposito Madge Kennedy, Mabel Normand, Marg\ierite Clark in " Easy to Get," Corinne Griffith, and with Constance Binney in " The Stolen Kiss."
Rod has dark eyes and dark wavy hair, and as he is six feet in height, he makes a really ideal hero. He talks with a fascinating drawl, which is probably accounted for by the fact that he was born in Canada.
