old house rigged up as studio. When the
scene was changed, Colman also played a
leading part in moving the furniture around.
The film was never released.
For the next three years he SKINNED along
on the thin ice of theatrical life, working in a
half dozen films and playing two leading roles.
: At last Cecil Hepworth, whose film company
was the first organized in England, offered
him job.
He gave up the stage for smaller salary
in films
His first role was that of Jewish pugilist
in cinema called "A Son of David"
When Colman went to see the film, his con-
clusion was that lighting, makeup and
gestures were all wrong. MY head was simply
moving about on shoulders that were not
nine
Discouraged, he returned to the stage.
Caught up in the general unemployment of
1920 he was unable to secure work. With $37
and several letters of introduction. he left
for New York as second-clas passenger.
He rented a cheap room in Brooklyn and
began the ceaseless round of theatrical offices.

1t was impossible to take the wounded boy
from the field until the terrifying lombard

IA fellow does lot of thinking at such
time" is the handsome fatalist's comment.
He was returned to England and discharged
by the medical board.
His mother was living in London on small
competence $50 the Wolf was kept from
our door,
In the summer of 1916 his uncle, member
of the Foreign Office, tried to arrange an ap-
pointment for him with consulate in the
Orient. But about this time Colman met
Lena Ashwell. She was putting on sketch
by Tagore at the Coliseum and wanted "a
darkish young man for the role"
He next played an important part in
Brieux's Damaged Goods" 1t ran, between
air raids, for seven months in London.
During this time, George Dewhurst,
pioneer Of the British cinema, engaged him to
play the star juvenile part in two-reel
comedy. Dewhurst was the writer, director
and photographer of the piece. He paid
Ronald pound a day.
The film was taken in vacant room in an

NE OF the most popular actors IN
Hollywood, Ronald Colman, is to
give up his career and become
film producer after he appears in
James Hilton's Lost Horizon" under Frank
Capra's direction. He has chartered large
boat in which to go around the world, photo
graphing strange scenes and peoples.
Unique in the cinema city, he is the only
prominent player never to attend premiere.
He has steadily refused to be an exhibitionist
in private life.
He came to America from England as an
artistic in 1920. Il almost starved to death
before could prove it" he says.
A cultivated, well read man, suave, kindly,
very human, he does not believe that we are
the masters of our destinies, but that luck or
chance is the deciding factor when all our
human efforts are of no avail.
Its been luck with me all my life. Bad
luck got me into the war; good luck got me
out alive. Good luck got me on the London
stage and brought me to America: Bad luck
made me pound the pavements looking for
job after that
Born in Surrey, England, Ronald Colman
is in the middle forties. He first saw motion
picture at ten years of age, when he accom-
panied his father to street carnival. Seeing
sign, Animated Pictures" they went inside.
They were hardly seated when the frightened
boy saw an express train rushing out of
tunnel toward them. He was greatly relieved
when the train swerved and did not run over
him.
This invention has great future, Ronald.
1t will make the fortunes of many people, his
father commented.
Unaware that destiny was weaving golden
net for him, the aristocratic English boy was
then dreaming of becoming an engineer.
He was sent to school in Sussex to prepare
for Oxford. While there he played juvenile
roles in THE Admirable Crichton" and
"Fanny's First Play" Amateur theatricals
soon became more important than his hopes
of becoming an engineer.
His work as juvenile attracted such
favorable attention that member of Sir
George Alexander's staff came from London
to look him over. "He did - and then

promptly overlooked me-" Colman recalls.
The future actor was about sixteen when his
father died. He left school for London, where
he secured work as an accountant with the
Britain Steamship Company. His salary was
$3.50 week. A period of intense loneliness
followed the loss of his father and the change
in environment. He lived in world of his own
that Others did not approach. As self-pro-
lection, this gave him the shy, reserved and at
times aloof manner that was later to make
him the miracle and the despair of Hollywood,
and cause the student of human nature to
wonder that so self-effacing man ever
wanted to become an actor, and further, to
remain in the profession until he became a
great one.
For four years he was perched on a stool
before an old black desk. In spite of dreams
and the fact that never was boy at heart
more untitled for his work, he was promoted
during the fifth year to be junior accountant
at salary of $l2 week. II congratulated
myself on such stirring progress ~
He remained in amateur theatricals as
member of Bancroft's Dramatic Society As
further escape from monotony, he joined
the London Scottish Regiment.
There was boy y-and-girl love affair that
has long since gone whistling down the wind.
She was the daughter of a leading official with
the steamship company, and often accom-
panied him to plays given by the dramatic
society.
After watching him portray an old man of
ninety, she said to him,
Don't let the promotion at the Office ruin
you Il think y0n can act"
We must tread lightly here. Love may have
blinded the young girl. How else could she
have seen the young bookkeeper Romeo as an
old man of ninety? Nevertheless, through the
dark days to come, the debonair fellow re-
membered.
The World War took him from office
routine. In September, 1914, he crossed with
his Scottish regiment to France as unit of
Lord Kitcheners famous contemptibles -
the first hundred thousand"
Soon in the front line trenches, he saw des-
perate action at Ypres.
His ankle was fractured during an advance.

Origin Of Beer Making

The origin of beer making is lost
in antiquity. Probably the ancient
Egyptians were the first civilized
people to engage in brewing, and
barley wine or beer is believed
to have been known in that coun-
try as early as 5000 B. c. Herodo-
tus ascribes the invention to the
goddess Isis. Ale or beer was never
used to any extent in Greece or
Italy, partly owing to the abundance
Of wine there, but Xenophon men
tons it as being used among the
inhabitants of Armenia, and the
Gauls were also acquainted with 1t
in early times. It was in common
use in Germany in the time OF
