Continued from page 39 day Will Rogers and I were watching a couple of young relatives graduate from a school in Beverly Hills. I remarked to Will how lucky we both were that we managed to get into a racket where we didn't have to be educated. Not that education isn't a great thing. I'm for it. But I'd rather get mine hunting, fishing, flying." Wally next gravitated to the circus. "The first time I got on an elephant he knew I was a greenhorn — and threw me off," relates Wally. "So I looked around and saw what the other bull men did. Then I soaked that elephant with a bullhook, and cussed him with all the profane words I knew. As soon as he heard that, he figured I was an experienced man, after all. From then on he was my pal. Once a black leopard got loose in the animal tent. I just ducked under that elephant, and he swung his trunk and put that leopard through the tent like a golf ball. I've never played golf — because I could never develop a drive like that elephant." Later, after playing on the stage in musical comedy and stock, he got a job at the Essanay studios in Chicago as a comedian. Then he became a director. When they opened their California studio they sent him out as studio manager. But being a movie executive wasn't in Wally's line. "I didn't like that," he confesses. "I hate to have to say 'No' to people. And a studio manager has to be as hard-boiled as I look. As a matter of fact, looks is the only thing I'm hard-boiled about. So I started for Japan with a troupe to make pictures there. The war blew that up, so I came back and went to work for Paramount as a comedian." It was then that he developed his "genial heavy" characterization. "It's just life," he explains it. "Nobody's all bad or all good — so I try to mix both elements in a role. It works." He thinks his best role was that of Richard the Lion Hearted, in silent pictures ; and probably Butch in the "Big House" in talkies. Recently they made him a full-fledged star. He was rather dubious about it. "I'd rather just play parts and do a good job and be a good guy," he declared. But no matter what happens to Wally he's never going to lose that. He'll always be a "good guy." Ask Me Continued from page 1 . York City after he decided upon a musical career. He graduated from the University of Texas as a physician but the world war changed his plans. He has a captivating personality and a charming singing voice. One of his outstanding successes was "Seed" with Lois Wilson and Genevieve Tobin. Skinner. No trouble at all to give you the information you want. In fact, the more information trouble I have the better I like it. "The Dawn Patrol" with Richard Barthelmess, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Neil Hamilton was reviewed by Delight Evans in the October 1930 issue of Scree nla nd. Write to the Circulation Department and make your request for that issue. Richard Barthelmess' first wife was Mary Hay — the present Missus was Mrs.' Jessica Sargent. Douglas Fairbanks, Sr.'s first wife was Beth Sully and the mother of Doug, Jr. Beth is now the wife of Jack Whiting of musical comedy fame and for the past two years of the screen. One of Doug., Jr.'s latest films has been "I Like Your Nerve" with Loretta Young. "Flying Eagles" will be along soon — with another title, perhaps. A V ermontcr. For your convenience and all other admirers of Bette Davis — she is on contract to Universal Studios and has appeared in "Bad Sister" with Sidney Fox and Conrad Nagel, her first film ; and in "Waterloo Bridge" with Kent Douglas and Mae Clark. Bette was born in Lowell, Mass., in 1908 and was on the stage two years before signing up for the talking films. Ioica Lass. How am I to figure out just what bunch of saxaphone players appeared in what picture? You have me all a-jitter and for what reason? Clara Bow and Richard Arlen played in "Ladies of the Mob." James Cagney and Joan Blondell are a great team in "Blonde Crazy," formerly titled "Larceny Lane." Jimmie is another big-city boy who has made good in the by-ways. Marjorie Millsap, or as we know her, Dorothy Lee, has been in pictures since 1929. She is 5 feet tall and weighs 97 pounds, was born in Los Angeles. Cal., is a trick bicycle rider when she feels like it, and was married to James Fidler in 1930 — divorced. One of her comedies is with Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey in "Caught Plastered," and she also appears with Joe Brown in "Local Boy Makes Good." Lillia R. So you want to see Phil Holmes do a tough part again as he did in "Her Man" and will I see that he does it? Phil's next picture is with Nancy Carroll in "The Man I Killed." I don't knowhow "tough" he is. Read "An Open Letter to Phil Holmes" on Pages 16-17, this issue. Phil T. You are not alone in your wish to see more of Charles Morton on the screen — letters keep coming in, asking for a glimpse of your favorite. He is on the stage again but insistent demands from the picture fans may bring him back. His last pictures were "Caught Short" with Marie Dressier, Polly Moran and Anita Page, and "The Dawn Trail." Another favorite of yours, Donald Keith, is in "First Aid" with Marjorie Beebe and Grant Withers. Larry Kent appears with George O'Brien, in "Seas Beneath." G. E. H. Mad and thrilled through and through about Leslie Howard, are you? The gorgeous accent you speak about is not assumed, nor his charming manner, for: he is an English gentleman and I don't mean perhaps. He has a lovely wife and two children, and his home life is an ideal one. Mr. Leslie played with Marion Davies in "Five and Ten," in "A Free Soul" with Norma Shearer, in "Never the Twain Shall Meet," and in "Devotion" with Ann Hard
