Warner Baxter Follows Film
Role, Tries Hand as Author

Playing the part of a popular
novelist in the Fox production,
"Such Women Are Dangerous" has
whetted Warner Bakers appetite
for the role of author in actuality.
He has already begun work on his
first book.
The Screen Writer'S Guild has re-
ceived the first draft of the Baxter
story outline, and after it has re-
ceived protective registration, the
announcement of theme and title
will be made.
81 have written a story which,
confidently, I expect to star in my
self in my home studio. I hope it
will be my next starring vehicle af-
ter I complete the Cisco Kid pic
ture. Frankly, have seen so many
writing flaws, really no fault of the
screen writer from my viewpoint,
that I am certain there will be
clearer projection of character and
plot for the medium of the film as
far as my own demands are con-
cerned. Film writer's can not all be
actors. Very few of them have ever
been, just as very few dramatists
had the advantages of a Shakes
peare in working in the actual
theater technique as acted and pro-
duced."
Few screen personalities have
ever undertaken functions in film
creativity outside their own realms.
While it is true that Charlie Chap
lin has done some writing, the
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-06-16

pieces have been fragmentary and
most of his extra -actorial activity
has been confined to direction,
which is also true of Harold Lloyd.
Will Rogers, who can write, has
neglected to take advantage of his
new and most convincing medium of
expression in combining his talents,
while ELISA Landi, the feminine
star, has a few novels to her
credit.
While "Such Women Are Danger
ous' gave him his first starring part
as novelist, Warner Baxter is not
totally indebted to that source of
stimulus for turning author him
self. Many years ago he was cast
in a picture called "In Old Arizona"
1t was the first outdoor talking pic
ture ever made, and incidentally, he
is the poSSessor of one of the few
remaining complete prints of that
picture. Every time a director needs
a workout in confidence, Warner
takes him up to his home for
screening of that print.

him, and years of portraying power

of the distinctive social gentleman,
the wit of a raconteur, and the
humor of an ordinary man who can
laugh at himself 81. and he does
laugh at himself frequently with
that riotousness well known to his
audiences, as he romps and screams
