Cndney'S QedCA was SHOCK 10 all
Hollywood. He was one of the most
beloved and successful of the film
favorites.
News of the actors serious illness
first generally was known in the
screen colony shortly after he fin
ished work on his initial talAng
picture, THE Unholy Three"
Entered Hospital Last Week
He had planned to take long
vacation before working again but,
instead, fastened to New York to
consult with specialists about his
throat ailment.
APPARENTLY much improved, he re-
turned from the east three weeks
ago and went to his cabin in the
high Sierras.
First of three hemorrhages forced
him to enter the hospital last
Wednesday.
CLANCY was born in Colorado
Springs. Col, April l, 1888. Short
ly after he finished his education
he joined a stock company as prop
erty man.
He graduated to the dual role of
transportation agent and actor with
another small stock company, and
finally was hired as comedy dan
Ger by the famous team of Kolb
and Dill.
Began Career as Extra
His turn to motion pictures re-
suited from becoming stranded with
another stock lmpany in Santa
Ana, Cal. Without sufficient money
to return east, CLANCY decided to
try Hollywood
He worked first at the. old Uni
yersal lot as an extra in western
pictures.
His work in the Miracle Man, .
in which he received his first inn
portant part, established him as a
star.
He always had experimental
with makeup-even when he was a
scene shifter, and developed a great
art in changing his features.
Il Just liked to putter around with
that fool stuff" he often related,
and I could do some rather good
stuff with it,
Great Makeup Success
His greatest character hits we're
the "Hunchback of Notre Dame
THE Phantom of the Opera, -
Laugh, Clown, Laugh" while the
City Sleeps" and West of zanzi-
bar"
Through ali his screen career Cha
ney achieved his grotesque appear
ances through his own skill in
makeup. He refused to allow 9TH
ers to assist him, fearing his secret
of how to distort the features might
be revealed.
Fellow actors and visitors to the
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer lot. where
CLANCY worked in recent years, al
ways were amazed at the artistic
results of his makeup.
When CLANCY wanted a scar the
length OF MS lace, ne manufactured
one that was just as realistic at a
distance of two feet and under
natural light as it was later on the
screen.
Opposed Talking Pictures
Introduction of talking pictures
did not please CLANCY. He and
Charlie Chaplin we're the foremost
opponents of dialogue in films. Both
believed the greatest art of motion
pictures was the depletion of plot
without the aid of words to ex-
plain it.
When he finally appeared in The
Unholy Three" it was announced in
such studio posters as CLANCY
talks" and as many voices as faces -
CLANCY was an avid follower of
sports.
He enjoyed riding, swimming and
golf and until his illness was a
ringside spectator at all prize fights
in Los Angeles and HOLLYWOOD.

On This
Occasion
Just a few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

While the concert by the Community
Band was enjoyed by large audience,
there was one feature not on the pro
gram which married the pleasure OF
the listeners and that was the inter
ruptions and racket made by group
of boys between the ages OF 10 and 10
years. While these concerts are at
tended on each occasion by several
unruly kids" last Sundays was par
ticularly disconcerting and the dir
ector at one time was forced to ad-
monish them. AS the city and school
district are furnishing these oppor-
tunities to hear good music free OF
cost, the parents could at least show
enough consideration for the audience
to instruct their children to behave
themselves keep them at home.
Such annoyances should be stopped.
An officer should be at hand to curb
outbreaks of this nature. You can't
blame the children for their play but
when interfering with the enjoyment OF
several hundred citizens who gather to
listen to good music or other free en-
tertainmentS, halt should be called
With thousands of acres in which to
disport themselves in this Playground
of Nation" we can't see why the kids
select the auditorium and other public
places and crowd in which to carry
on their hat-grabbing and wrestling
