His salary was S. week. He remained
until he returned to school at the command of
his mother.
Though his family was poor. there was
growth in the home, and avid curiosity.
While his parents contended that America
was better land than Rumania, the growing
boy sometimes forgot. In Rumania, poverty
had made him acquiescent In America he be-

theater where he had first appeared.
He might have been Rip Van Wrinkle. The
troupe that knew him as a boy had long since
vanished. Young Robinson told of histrionic
triumphs there - and was given the role of an
old man. He fell in love with the leading lady
but nothing else happened for week.
Then he was discharged. He called on many

"Inever thought Of that, " was the laughing
reply.
His mother would not allow him to forget
the idea. He began to write.
After many weeks the play became re-

Conscience" With it he was booked over a
vaudeville circuit.
The family moved to larger dwelling. One
brother began to study dentistry. The re-
doubtable Mrs. Goldenberg took the change
of fortune as a matter of course. Her sons
could do anything!
A hull came in the fortunes of the family

union, their companionship was such that in
order to be with her he accepted small role in

Life was ever after to remain pogrom to
him. To hide inner fears he became the most
sinister gangster on the screen.
The leader of anti-social cinema war is a
shy man in real life. He is far more interested
in works of art than in bullets, in books rather
