lain. stamping the stages of several
stock company theaters. Apparently
villains were not so popular with au-
diences of the Far West, for Shearer
inst with no mentionable acclaim.
Shearer's artistry found expression In
other channels. He had considerable
talent with the brush, and to this day Is
said to be able to create cred1table
marine paintings in q short space OF
time. Always he confines his artistic
efforts to the painting of batleships,
cruisers or other things of the sea.
Served as Newspaper Man.
Shearer has made numerous excur-
sions into the newspaper field. He Is
thought to have gained his first expe-
rience as a reporter while serving on
San Francisco newspapers.
Just as he has used his artistic tall
ents to indulge his fondnesS for things
naval, so he has used his ability as
writer as a prolific means of expression
regarding maritime matters. Patriotic
societies here can testify to Shearer' S
proclivities along publicity lines.
Those who have met and talked with
Shearer say there is some foundation
for his claim that he is naval Eek
pert" They declare he has at his finger
tips facts and figures of amazing extent
regarding the Navy. They seriously
doubt. however, that he has obtained his
data from secret sources, despite his evil
dent desire to be known as an 'insider"
and man of mystery"
"Shearer will make an interesting wit
ness before the Senate committee" one
acquaintance declared. He realizes he
has an extraordinary chance to bask in
the international limelight, and he IS
too good a Snowman not to make the
most of the opportunity"

For nine years, since Samuel (Royr) Rothafel enticed him from d re- cruiting post to teach the routine Of "hay-foot. straw-'oot" 10 tho ushcrs Of the Rialto Thoater in New York. he has been selling rhis knowledge 10 those who want snap. roliteness. courteous damcauor and rigid disci- pline among their employees.
 His big parade goes on con- stantly at five of New Works Iarg- est movie houses, and in chain of theaters from coast to coast.
