That New Martin Kane Lloyd Nolan as Martin Kane has one of his frequent brushes with gun-toting characters. You’ll never believe what Lloyd Nolan’s real name is I N the past 20 years, Lloyd Nolan, who plays the title role in Martin Kane, Private Eye (Thursday, 10-10:30 p.m., © [?]), has made 60 movies. While he has sometimes acted underworld characters, most of his roles have been as public or private defender of the law. Which is one obvious reason for the smooth authority he brings to his per¬ formance as Martin Kane. Another and more fundamental reason is that Mr. Nolan happens to be, in his quiet, understating way, one of our most dependable actors. Lloyd Nolan (that’s his real name) was born in San Francisco August 11, 1903, the son of a shoe manufacturer. He attended Stanford University, then joined the Pasa¬ dena Community Theater, where one of his young colleagues was Victor Jory. Then, after roles in a couple of road companies of Broadway hits, he worked as a stage hand in Cape Cod’s Dennis Theater, where one of the ushers was a young woman named Bette Davis. After that Nolan appeared in New York with The Cape Cod Follies, which proved to be an instantaneous flop. His next engagement was in Hoboken where he played the hero in the revival of The Blue and the Gray, or War is Hell. This ran six-and-a-half weeks. Then Cleveland, where he played stock with Helen Hayes and Pat O’Brien. The following winter he was in New York again in Sweet Stranger, playing an oflice 'ooy. He fell in love with Mell Efird, who played a stenographer. When the show closed, they were married. Today they have a daughter, Melinda Joyce, born in 1940, and a son. Jay, born in 1943. After his marriage, Lloyd did another season of stock and another session at Cape Cod. Then, following two minor Broadway roles, came the turning point in his career. He joined the cast of One Sunday Afternoon which ran on Broadway for 43 weeks. It was in this play that he made his first big hit, and was tested and brought to Holly- w'ood by Paramount. Meet the Beverly Hillbillies Among Nolan’s movies for major studios have been: Michael Shayne, Private Detec¬ tive; Guadalcanal Diary; A Tree Grows in Brooklyn; The House on 92nd Street; Street With No Name, and The Lemon Drop Kid. Nolan admits to no one hobby in particu¬ lar, although golf ranks high on his list of preferences. He does go in for horseback riding, golf, swimming, and handball. He has a Boxer named Shansie. He studied piano for four years but ad¬ mits he can’t play the darned thing. He and his wife were probably Hollywood’s most enthusiastic square dancers. They were responsible for introducing the movie colony to this pastime. The Nolans had their own group which they called the Beverly Hillbillies. Nolan is 5-feet-10i4 and weighs 175 pounds. He has grey hair and brown eyes.
