A compromise was reached. Hersholt was
allowed to play the role, providing he directed
the film - at the same salary.
1t was the first time man had come to life
in a western cinema tale
Mary Pickford's S manager saw the film, and
Hersholt was requested to play an important
character in Tess of the Storm Country"
One Sunday afternoon the three cinema
musketeers read the script. For hours they
debated how the role should be played
Hersholt tried different methods. At last one
was agreed upon 1t was not in vain. Hersholt
made deep impression in the part.
When Won Strohem became the director
of Greed from the Frank Norris novel
'McTeague,' he selected Hersholt for a
powerful role.
Won Stroheim was then at the humorless,
realistic period of his career. While photo

the manure had been removed With passion
for atmosphere" he ordered it returned.

he was getting ready to retire to California
ranch, there to live with his devoted wife, his
books and dogs.
All arrangements were made when Daryl
ZanuCk sent for him Would he play DR..
Dafoe in The Country Doctor" - opposite
five leading ladies?
The idea appealed to him. One of the most
popular and human films ever made, it re-
established him Immediately in the heart of
the world.
As DR.. Dafoe had seen only one film in
his life. short comedy called Sunshine
Susie, he had never heard of the man who
came to Canada to impersonate him. After
the films release, the actors mail brought so
many queries about the babies that he had
cards made to answer questions

in the desert. Nerves were threadbare and
bodies worn. His mind heat driven, Hersholt
denounced his friend, the director, in blaze
of fury. To his anazement, when exhausted
at the finish, he discovered that the cameras
had been turned upon him.
Won Stroheim took his arm and said, Come,
Jean - it's exactly what wanted This
More than all else, it made the gentle Dane
his friends equal in fame and fortune
His next important roles were with Douglas
Fairbanks in Don O. and opposite Lois
Moran in Stella Dallas"
The "talkies' brought long idleness for
Jean. He had a foreign accent. Having
appeared in about three hundred films and

Hersholt Jagged behind. CLANCY had a
friend who was producing westerns" He
sold" Jean as director.
Il don't know ANYTHING about the West"
pleaded Jean.
Neither does the producer" returned Lon
The three friends met each week. Always
their conversation turned to story" They
had found their life work, and took it seriously
Hersholt's sixth film was western called
Romance Rides, in which, evidently by
mistake, character" had survived.
PLAY the part" advised Won Stroheim.
LET another man direct"
That's right JEAN agreed CLANCY.

Five GARB B OS'

That's Jean HershoIt, who played opposite
five leading ladies in the Dionne quntup|ets'
movies. Here's how he gained his greatest
fame after thirty years on the screen

y
~ survive on the SCREEN" This is
the opinion of Jean Hersholt,
y famous delineator of the famous
DR.. Dafoe, who brought the Dionne quin-
tuplets into the world.
Hersholt has been on the screen for thirty
years. Il am not temperamental. That is the
chief reason have survived so long"
He was born in Denmark of parents who
were players at the Royal Theater. He won
prizes for drawing at school, and his mother
encouraged him to become an artist. While
he was pupil at the Copenhagen Art School,
his mind turned to the stage. He became a
member of a stock company at eighteen, en-
tered films and remained three years.
He reached Hollywood in 1914. Wearing a
dress suit and derby, and carrying cane,
though nearly penniless, he was interviewed
by Thomas Ince.
'Is that outfit yours?" he asked.
Assured of their ownership Ince snapped,
"All right, we'll hire 'em SIS week"
He remained with Ince for some months.
Idle again. and soon without money, he met
a fellow Dane, Henry Oleson, stock player
at one of the studios, who offered to introduce
Jean to the general manager. After keeping
him waiting for several hours, that official
talked to Hersholt. Oleson had long since gone
home.
Il can offer you only $40 week at the
start" explained the manager. His eyes did
not leave Hersholts derby, cane and dress
suit as he confded, The stock company is
full and III have to let some other actor 60"
The bargain made, Hersholt hurried to his
friends house and said, Il thank you, Henry
i got the job"
Il know you did. They just called me up
and told me was laid off"
Two other players were at that time lin
stock with the same outfit - Lon CLANCY
and Erich Won Stroheim
The three became close friends. CLANCY and
Won Stroheim went on to greatness, Clancy

them from all over the world. Yet they play
for hours with old fashioned wooden clothes
pins
Il forgot my lines in the first scene with
them,' smiled JEAN 1T was like playing with
five Carlos"
The Danish actor lives in Beverly Hills
with the wife he married in the days of
struggle. His closest friend is the gifted
Austrian Erich Won Stroheim.
Il wish that Lon CLANCY we're here" the
latter said to Hersholt recently.
He is, returned the Dane, ''in our hearts"
Hersholts stand in and confidential sec
retary has been with him for years. He is the
stock player who was laid off" that Jean
might be engaged.

Many Deaths
On Projects

The reclamation bureau at the
national capital recently embarked
upon an intensive five-year safety
program designed to cut by 40 per
cent the present accident frequen-
cy on its projects
George o. Sanford, general SUI
pervisor of operations and main
tenance and the bureaus repres-
entative on the interior depart
ment committee, said the drive
was Gin line with that initiated by
President Roosevelt through the
labor department last March,"
Sanford pointed to a general in
dustrial accident frequency of S.
So per 100000 man hours as
need for renewed safety efforts
He said deaths to date on the Boul-
der dam project in Colorado river
totaled 1856, 16 of which were due
TO heart failure and six to drown
ings. The 10th death occurred last
week at Grand Coulee.
Grand lCoulee Cited
Added to these, were eight
deaths at Norris dam on the Ten
nessee river and two at Bonneville
dam on the Columbia. These prof.
ects, Sanford said, were much less
hazardous from the standpoint of
the workmen than the Boulder and
Grand Coulee projects.
He fixed the accident frequency
during the period between October,
1884, and April, 1887, at Grand
Coulee at 81.
Sanford blamed falls, falling OBJ
jects and machinery for the major
thy of accidents.
Deaths due to explosives, cleo
,tricity and drownings have been
relatively low" he said.
Interior department figures also
disclose accidents are expensive.
During the 1931-35 five year peri
cd, 1855 lost-time accidents oc-l
cured on reclamation, Indian and
national park projects, with "a cost
to the government of $1,113,000 in
compensation, medical attention,
burial costs and estimated future
compensation.
