"6elI Boy 10 Story Similar to Life of
Star in lnce Feature

The author of the magazine story
from which BELL Boy 49," Thomas
II. Ince's latest comedy farce was
adapted. had no intention of writing
anything autobiographical when he
penned his story but by coincidence
he wrote in several sequences what
might have been drawn from the life
of Douglas MacLean. who plays the
title role in the picture.
MacLean. whose father was. a
prominent minister in Philadelphia
and who was destined first to be q
civil engineer and then a bond sales
man, was perfectly at home in the
role of the young bond broker WHO
didn't think much of his job and
Who was always inventing excuses
to escape the watchful eye of the
head member Of the firm.
For year before he broke into
the movies he sold securities for a
Philadelphia bond house and he
vouches for it that he saw all of the

iously funny office scenes in the pic

office.
