it. emoting before the camera
alongside the other stars and
featured players.
Kolb's rise has been a remark
able one. He had never appeared
before the camera in his life until
he was picked for his huge bulk
for one of the big roles in '"The
Knockout" He made good with
a bang and was next placed in
the cast of MEN of Steel" This
was followed by a part in 1.-THE
Savage" Then he turned to
comedy role in "Mismates."
The First National signed him
to a long term contract and now
he has gone to California where
he will appear in Milton Sills'
next starring picture.
