made" MN as stage 1aVorlle.
And along with it the tale OF his devo-
ton not only to the play he owed a
debt, but to the man who gave him his
start in this country.
The actor is Leslie Howard, who
incidentally is playing here this week
at the Earle Theater in Captured.
When a film company bought the
play, Berkeley Square" they wanted
only one man to play the lead-Mr.
Howard. He had made success In
the piece when it was running on
Broadway. So the film company signed
him.
After the film was completed, the
producers found that a great many
scenes would have to be retaken, and
they were upset because MIR. Howard
had planned to go to Europe He mad
already booked his passage. The exec,l-
tive who was in charge of the produc-
ton was delegated to see the actor and
do anything he could to keep him in
America for the retakes. He told
Howard the situation and offered to
continue paying him his regular salary
for the extra work. Inasmuch as How
ard was getting s45,000 to make the
picture (Which had taken only a few
weeks) you can easily see that he stood
to make lot of additional cash. Said
Howard:
TN tell you something. Berkeley
Square made me as an actor. 1t brought
me into prominence, gave me my chance
and brought success that landed me
in Hollywood. Naturally, I am willing
to do anything at all to insure the sue
cess of the movie version. will stay
as long as is necessary to complete the
film satisfactorily, and you can forget
the extra money. I don't want It,"
