probably is true, but il required many
years of courageous fight, step-by-
step progress and well earned expert
enee In the theatrical profession to
produce the preSent-day versatility,
polish and power that have brought
distinction to this player Success
was not a matter of simple attainment
or luck. He had no intention of be-
coming an actor In the first place, but
was literally forced into the profession
by the oldest sort Of chance
Stone was born In Worcester. Mass.
Boston became his home while he WAS
still an infant, and later, at the age
Of 10, he moved to New York. where
he renewed his school studies, finishing
at Bernard Military Academy.
Ambitious to become a playwright,
he wrote a sketch and attempted TO
sell it TO leading theatrical producer.
In dire need of a certain type Of man
for a show then held UP on the road,
the latter paid no attention to the
sketch, but insisted that Stone sign UP
for a road show. Hardly knowing what
il was all about. Stone soon found him
