MCG-7 little of both I imagine for Billy, who scorns with a healthy sincerity those who prate of their act, could not afford to let himself in for the kidding by prating of his. None of the sentimental emotions are sacred to this young Virginian. Young actresses who sigh that they give their entire lives to their careers are but grist to Billy's mill of wit. He will never quite get over being amused by the Hollywood beauty who remarked in her best California Brit-tish that "pic tures take up so much of one's time." With this wholesome dislike of pose you may imagine that it is impossible to analyze his work by anything that he might say. You'll find the secret of his success in the opuses themselves. He's a little ashamed of his pathetic moments and recounts with glee of two men who sat behind him at one of his pictures and said, "Will you look at that great big guy crying like a woman! He ought to be moving pianos." It doesn't matter anyhow how he does it but that he does it. The fact remains that Billy Haines is an institution in the American home. He is as definite a type, as true a comedian, as great an exponent of the art of laughter as any of those with trick moustaches and trick clothes and trick hair-cuts. ~> 4 The Villains Are Coming {Continued from page 17) does he lose his magnificence when he steps from the screen into the drawing-room. But don't let me mislead you. The intense Torrence neither is nor tries to be a lady killer. On the contrary, he strikes you as a somewhat shy Scotch gentleman, with an enormous gift for characterizations and a real talent for music. Torrence was born in Edinburgh. The youngest of many children, and the only one with any artistic talents, his sisters and brothers wished him to have every advantage. First, he was sent to Stuttgart, Germany, to the famous Conservatory there. Then he studied the piano. Later he came to London and had his voice cultivated at the Royal Academy. During all of this time, however, he was learning the violin, which, I understand, he plays remarkably well. When he was twenty or so, he started in on the musical comedy stage of London. And a hard time he had, too. Year after year he worked. And never did he earn more than twenty dollars a week. But in those days, four pounds was good weekly pay for a musical comedy man. Finally, because of economic conditions in England, he decided to make the Big Leap. He borrowed money from his sisters and brothers and came to America. He didn't find it much easier here, either. He had a wife and child to support, having married an English actress a few years previously. Long weeks on the road with his wife and son miles away. Months with no work at all. Round after round of squalid boarding houses. Many times he approached various film companies asking for a chance in pictures. But he was always refused: "You are too tall," they told him. "It is ridiculous for you to hope to make a career in the films." But along about that time Tol'able David was being cast. Torrence was given his first big part. And ever since, he has been crawling slowly to the top of his profession. Until today, after his impersonation of Peter in The King of Kings, and of the prison shipmaster in Captain Salvation, not forgetting his wonderful share in The Cov
