was announced that the best pos
sible cast would be selected to
support Marion Davies in the
stellar role Of Princess Mary Tu-
dor. Among the artists selected
was tho English actor-manaser.
Lyn Harding. who was induced to
cut short his London season and
come to this country to appear as
King Henry VIII, which he has
played moro than two hundred
times on the legitimate stage.
Mr.. Harding 10 six feet tall.
broad chssted and rather burly of
face. When he dons the heavily
embroidered silken doublet and
hose. the short cloak, plumed hat
and jeweied dagger Of Henry VIII
he looks as II he had stepped out
of q life-sized painting Of that
joviai and revolutionary monarch.
One consideration which induced
Mr.. Harding to come to this coun-
try especially for this production
was to preserve his version Of the
much-rnarried monarch In motion
pictures--especially as he Is char
acterized in when Knighthood
Was In Flower"
Mr.. Harding's parents intended
him for the church, but he took
to agriculture. He took a dislike
to farming and Joined a touring

years association with the actor
manager Mr.. Harding played such
roles as Henry VIII, Brutus, Cas-
sius. Bolingbroke, Richard II. and
Prospero. This repertoire and his
appearances in the shakespearean
festivals at Manchester gave him
splendid training in romantic and
costume roles. Mr.. Harding is
one Of England's foremost char
acter actors, and as such he is best
known in America
He visited this country for the
first time in 1910. when he appear
ed with Grace George in Just to
Get Married" However, It was his
realistic impersonation of the bru-
tai Bill Sykes in Liebler and COM
pany's revival of "Oliver Twist"
that gave New York a thrill. Mr..
Harding also played in Years Of
Discretion" and as Svengali in
"Trilby." and he supported Sir
Herbert Beerbohm Tree on his
last tour of America.
Afterward Mr.. Harding played
In London in mid Channel and
"The Devil" Then he became an
actor-manager and made success
