UNIVERSAL SCENARIO COMPANY 434 Meyer Bldg., Western & Sierra Vista Hollywood, California points of similarity ! Winners of yore were formed into triumphal processions, wreaths of sacred laurel placed upon their brows and palm branches in their hands. The winners in our events are more often to be found in a procession bound for the nearest studio where a movie contract is placed in their hands. Special openings were made in the city's walls for those Greek heroes. We present them with the keys to the city in much the same spirit of devotion. Sculptors made statues of them, they were dined and wined and orators lauded their victories. We make stills of ours, they are dined, near-beered, and spoken to by long-winded eulogists (commonly called after-dinner speakers). Greek heroes, ever after, were exempt from taxation. Ours just begin paying special assessments. They became and remained national idols, and when we scan the records of the movie stars who have arrived via the athletic route, we cannot deny that such a comparison holds true. Hollywood counts among its "Olympians" Johnny Weissmuller, who holds every world's swimming record from the fifty yard dash to the one-half mile. He has won thirty-nine national championships and has broken seventy-five world speed records. He was the American hero of the 1924-1928 Olympics and is the possessor of fifty medals. He is now, as we intimated before, sweeping the country in "Tarzan." Then there is big Jim Thorpe, every boy's ideal of what a hero should be. He is rated as the greatest all-around football player the world has ever known. He represented the United States in the Olympic games at Stockholm in 1912 and gave the finest demonstration of athletic prowess that has ever been witnessed in the history of the games. He won the pentathlon and 8412 points out of a possible 10,000 in the decathlon. Later, due to a technicality, he was deprived of his Olympic standing, but his glory will never dim. Jim makes his screen debut, for Universal, in "Battling with Buffalo Bill." He has also taken an important part in "Hold 'Em Jail," an RKO production. Charlie Paddock, veteran runner in four Olympics, will live forever in the hearts of all sports-minded Americans. Kids and their Dads fairly eat up the shorts he makes as part of Christy Walsh's Ail-American sports series. Paddock makes these pictures for the good of the Olympics and the youth of America. He will not sacrifice his amateur standing by accepting compensation. So here's to Charlie. Long may he sprint ! Paul Lukas competed in the Olympics at Stockholm in 1912 as a wrestler. Representing Hungary, of course. Paul does not use the technique of a caveman when he is making love but such an athletic record leads us to believe that we don't really know our Paul. Tom Tyler, Universal's choice for the ideal Buffalo Bill, covered himself with glory as a weight lifter in recent Olympics. Besides, he is a marvelous horseman. Harvey Perry, light-weight fighting champion of the world, captured diving honors at the Amsterdam Olympics. Warners consider him an asset, not only as a trainer but as an actor. He trained James Cagney for "Winner Take All" and then played opposite in fighting scenes. Then how about Jean Hersholt? Can you picture him as Denmark's champion bicycle rider? He won that title at the age of twenty. Today, he is head of the Danish Olympic Games commission, appointed by the King of Denmark. Weldon Heyburn took part in the Olympic preliminaries in 1920, but was incapacitated by a broken ankle which he was unfortunate enough to acquire in the last stages of the tryouts. Fox recognized his ability in other lines, however, and consoled him with a contract. Besides possessing Olympic heroes, Hollywood abounds with champions in almost every field of sports. Russ Saunders, AllAmerican football star from the University of Southern California, is now a director at Warners. Johnny Mack Brown is another Ail-American football player whose record is known to followers of the acting art as well. Irene Dunne has the coveted certificate to prove that she is one of those rare individuals skillful enough with golf clubs to make a hole in one. George O'Brien has an athletic record few can equal. As a boxer he won the light heavyweight championship of the Pacific fleet. He's a sure winner at handball, a crack marksman, expert swimmer, and can ride plain or fancy. He also offers stiff competition in roping. Joel McCrea received intercollegiate honors as a discuss thrower. He also has medals to show for his shot putting and javelin throwing. And he was captain of his football team in college. Kay Francis isn't at all ashamed of having broken the record for the one-hundred-yard dash when she was but fifteen. She ran it in twelve seconds, which still remains a record for anyone of that age. Of course Babe Ruth, Bobby Jones and Bill Tilden have told the public a lot that it wanted to know about baseball, golf and tennis by means of features and shorts. And the four horsemen of Notre Dame, Elmer Layden, Jim Crowley, Don Miller and Harry Stuhldreher, were prevailed upon by Universal to give us all a football treat in "The Spirit of Notre Dame." No one needs be told of the golfing ability of Douglas Fairbanks but we wonder if his public realizes how good he had to be to qualify in the British Amateur golf tournament. That was quite some achievement as you must realize if you know your British golfers. As a rule Doug does not go in for competitive sports. Regis Toomey was a sprinter on the University of Pittsburgh team ; as a collegiate 880 runner he competed in the National A. A. U. meet at Pasadena in 1920. Wallace Beery has the only transport pilot's license in the film colony and Ben Lyon and Clarence Brown the only army licenses. Tom Mix, of course, got his start through his prowess as an athlete. He began by joining the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch where he won the title of champion cowboy at the Frontier day's celebration at Cheyenne, Wyoming, and followed that by winning the national steer-throwing championship. After that he was made. Ken Maynard has a dozen silver buckles and medals won for trick riding and roping when he was a circus headliner. He once held the world championship for trick riding, awarded during the Chicago fair. Tom Brown was given an engraved watch for saving a woman from drowning at Peekskill, New York, when he was nine years old. He is now a senior member of the Red Cross Life Saving Service, after passing severe tests in 1930. And climaxing them all, Will Rogers — polo player of international repute, ropethro wer, and gum-chewer !
