Leon Is Hooked

Leon Enrol is to become a per-
manent fixture in motion pictures
Richard A. Rowland, general man
ager of First National Pictures, Inc.
announces that his company has
signed the inimitable comedian on a
long term contract under which he
will be presented in a series of eight
comedy pictures, the first one 10 be
started late in August.
Just now the comedian of the
wabbly knees is adding to his stage
laurels in the title role of Florenz
Iiezfeld's highly successful produc-
ton Of Louie the Fourteenth" but
what his first screen vehicle will be
under the new contract has not yet
been announced. Several stories,
however, are being considered for
him.
The signing of Enrol by First Ma
tional was due largely to his unus-
ually successful performance as the
Duke of Checkergovinia in the
screen version Of sally" in which
he recreated the role he had already
made famous on the stage in the
Ziegfeld production.
In the perturbation Of Sally" he
appeared in support of Colleen
Moore, the star for whom he made
a most excellent foil. First National
executives, in signing Enrol, believe
they have acquired comedian who
will rank second to none on the
screen.
Errols experience has been
unique. Born in Sydney, Australia,
he started life with the idea of be-
coming a surgeon. He attended the
University Of Sydney School of
Medicine and Surgery.

Honest real American tears came to
her eyes.
She said that she wanted TO please

the old days could not return. She
knew that in her memory the old.
days still existed.
To me this real Fay Templeton
gave me the greatest minute that 1
have had III many years in the
theater. Fay Templeton with Weber
and Fields at her side returned. Just
for a second.
Oh, how she tried to be the Fay Of
other days, even with tears. stream
ing down her cheeks. Weber and
Fields patted her arms and her
shoulder. She tried to give the smile
that made her famous.
Then she tried to tell of Warfield,
Weber. Fields, Lillian Russell Cbless
her memory and all the others, but
the tears returned.
And Fay Templeton did not cry
alone. Those who understood the
theater and the actor az we'll cried.

Then she broke down again and
Fields placed his arms around her.
The curtain came down but the
audience then proved for a few
minutes that Fay Templeton was not

Then she tried to speak again.
