Film Actor Dodges Questions
About Marriage in His Talk
With LoueIIa o. Parsons

LOS ANGELES, April 2 U.S0

what it meant to him, after a long
series of unsuccessful comedy
roles, to be given the dramatic
part Of Yancey Cravat in "Cimar

East, with no job in sight and
feeling that the end of my mo-
tiOn picture career had arrived,
when 1 received a wire from
William LIE Baron, offering me
q contract with Radio Pictures.
He told me that after / had,
made a couple Of small pic
tureS-quickies, he had on hand,
he hoped to find one that would
give me a real chance again."
Miss Parsons told him:
"Well, he certainly brought
you back all right, Richard"
Mr.. Dix went on to say that
one day after he had returned to
Hollywood, Mr.. LeBaron sent for
him and gave him the galley
proofs of the book "Cimarron" to
read. Mr.. Dix said he took
it home and read it and it was
just the type story he had wanted
to do all his life.

phone. He said:
I'm answer to Miss Parsons
questions about when am going
