Wnl!y Vnn, Comedian
and Society Director

Wally Van, tho comedian, who has
staged the screen pictures for Samuel
l. Rothapfel's unit programme at the
Park Theatre, Is a man with a past.
There are pasts and pasts, all Of them
moro or less dim, dark and alluring,
but Wally Van has the most thrill
ingly extensive past in the motion
picture field, extending back in one
lineal perspective to 1881
I'VE are one Of the first families In
this town and we've lived here since
$685." admits Wally Van, with a
worried air and a suspicious manner.
II hate to talk about myself, and I've
never told the rest Of my name for
publication. Of course the family
made a row when I went on the stage
instead Of sticking to profession, and
that's why cut my name In half and
dropped the last half into the discard"
Whether Wally Vans name is Van
Rensselaer, or Van Schaick or merely
Vanderbilt Wally Van won't tell, but
it is certain that the several genera
lions that 1t takes to make a gentle
man are an excellent investment in
grandfathers for any motion picture
director.
For Wally Van made his debut In
the limelight as a cotillon leader and
a popular chap to put on charity balls
or amateur theatricas at the amateur
clubs. Then Wally's reputation for
what was good form and what was not
done in polite circles became so much
a matter of conspicuous publicity that
anxious motion picture producers
wrote to him Dear-Beatricc-F Fairfax
letters to come over and put on the
kind of society drama that looks as if
1t came right off Of Fifth Avenue or
out of Newport. For the u6it pro-
gramme at the Park Theatre he staged
all the screen features, including the
Sheldon drama, False Gods" and
George V. Hobart's "Wild Flowers"
