Some memory lane observations
I prepared for Louis Sobol:

OOIIlC 4cbAAS NHoNA NSSV4SAAS
I prepared for Louis Sobol:
The day my cousin, Skinny,
called me Jumbo" and lot him
have it. When I emerged victor
ious from the fray my best friend
put an arm around my shoulder
and said: THAT was swell fight,
Jumbo" So I let him have it, too.
AS a kid there were two things
7 couldn't stomach-going to
school and taking orders. When
my mother announced that q
piano teacher had been hired and
on my twelfth birthday was ex.
pected to begin finger exercises,
1 ran away from home.
They got me back again when
they put an ad in the Kansas City
papers. The ad went something
like this:
"TO Wally: Mama says you
don't have to take piano lessons
if you came home. Noah and
William"
My dad was a policeman and
many's the time I appeared at
school in his uniform, cut down
and fitted over, minus the but
tons. One homemade outfit I had
lasted five years.
At fifteen I left home again
this time with the parental bless
ing. Within a year had tried
my hand at plain and fancy ditch
digging, working as engine wiper
on a railroad and tossing red-hot
bolts into blast furnaces. Then,
through my brother Bill, who was
press agent for the Forepaugh-
Sells Circus, I got a Job as
elephant trainer with tho show.
One Of tho best friends I
ever had was o bull elephant
named "Maggle,' who worked
with mo in the show. I liked
Maggie and he liked me. One
afternoon q black panther got
loose just before the matinee.
1 was in the big top when I
saw him coming straight for
me. Maggie was out in the
menagerie tent and I went
through the runway like a deer.
I got to Maggie just as the
big cat got to me. He ripped
my arm as I dived behind the
big bull, but that was the end
Of the panther. Maggie caught
him in his trunk and lifted
him clear through the top Of
the tent. I'll always remem-
Der Maggie.
Last September, when I was
making THE Mighty Barnum"
for Daryl zanuck, we had a
troupe Of 10 elephants in the
picture. One Of the elephants
was Maggie. And wonder Of
wonders. he recognized me!
For two years I played nurse
maid to troupe Of elephants
earning $3.50 a week, plus food
and place to sleep. A bonus
of a dollar and a half a week
was added later for staying
through the season.

Studios in New Rochelle-thAt is,

but when I got to New Rochelle

back to Manhattan Con foot) I
decided movies were the bunk
The following year I changed
my mind. The ESSenay Studios
offered me a part as comedian
on the strength Of my perform,
ance in "The Balkan Princess" q"
The job paid $75 a week-and
looked pretty good to me.
It was q gay and ambitious
gang and reported for work in
the studios in ChicagO'S North

Anderson, cowboy idol Of Ameri-
can boyhOOd, was a member Of
the firm. Francis x. BuShman
and Beverly Bayne were out there
making their thrObbing love
stories. Ben Turpin and Bryant
Washburn were members Of the
troupe. And among the extras
were Virginia Valli, Rod La
ROGUE and Gloria Swanson.
I was kept pretty busy working
for Essenay. For a long time I
made a comedy a week-two
series, the Sweedie comedies and
the George Ade Fables. I acted
in them, helped direct and some
times wrote the adaptations. Oc-
casionally played heavies in
melos. In 1915 my salary was
raised to $125.
In 1915 Broncho Billy decided
to make Westerns in California.
He took me with him as second
string director in charge Of the
smaller units. But the grand ven
ture fell through, and after three
months our unit went broke. Il
was down and out in a big way.
The beginning Of q new era in
my life was Mickey Neilan's offer
Of a part in "The objectionable

over. In Behind the Door" and
