Leach played bits in shows, went
back to England to get real start in
acting. Arthur Hammerstein saw him
in London and signed him in 1927 for
his Broadway production of Golden
Dawn" After that he was in Boom

ding star, Jeanette Macdonald. A
part in the musical Street Singer"
came next; then he played a season of
musical stock in St. Louis. His frst
really good Broadway role was in
"Nikki," with Fay Wray and Kent
Douglas.
Leach wanted to work in films but
Hollywood failed to notice him. So he
bought a cheap car and drove across
country. Out in the movie colony he
was invited to party Marion Gering,
the director, saw him and asked him
to help out on the screen test of a
young actress. Leach helped out,
the girl was passed up but he was

Grant actually didn't get the full
attention of Hollywood until he played
with Constance Bennett in Topper"
He was just another leading man until
then.
Until his recent romance with
Phyllis Brooks he had come to be
looked upon as Hollywood's No. l
Bachelor. As matter of fact, Grant
was married to Virginia Cherrill in
1884, but the match ended within
year. And Hollywood doesn't count
former marriages.
Grant takes his film popularity in
stride "I'm lucky" he admits. Styles
in actors change. Fundamentals re-
main the same. You don't have to be
handsome to be playing leading screen
roles. Look at me. I'm Exhibit A.

sion, he joined up with a troupe of
acrobats. His father found him four
weeks later at Norwich and dragged
him back to school, But year later
Alex Archie was regularly enrolled
member of the Bob Pendar knock
about troupe of acrobats. He had got
his way. Pendar kept an organization
of thirty-hve boys in training; for five
years Alex Archie was regular men,
Der of the troupe, doing ground and
lofty tumbling, performing the STAR
tling and stupendous" music-hall
gymnastics.
All this time the boy longed to be an
actor Every time he tried to break
away from the troupe, managers
turned him down. Better be satisfied
with being a good tumbler." they told
him; "there're too many actors now"
Besides, many soldier-actors we're re-
turning, trying to get started again.
So Alex Archie sullenly rubbed rosin
on his soles and continued to do hand
springs across the stage in fashy pink
tights.
Through these years Alex Archie
had longed to see America. Finally the
troupe made two American vaudeville
tours, and played long engagement
at the New York Hippodrome. The
Bristol boy lived in little hall bed
room on a side street near Ninth
Avenue New York - with its excite
ment, it's indifference. its pace -
thrilled him. He wanted to stay on;
and so, when the Hippodrome engage
ment ended, Alex Archie quit the
troupe. But he had a tough time land
ing job.

Coney Island. A better job was as an

AIRY GRANT started off with
three terrific handicaps.
The first, and toughest, was

three teTrlnC hdnd1CapS.
~ The first, and toughest, was
his name. 1t was - honestly -
Alexander Archibald Leach. In fact he
had achieved considerable stage sue
cess in spite of the name of Archie
Leach when he tackled Hollywood.
The second came in 1881, when he
was hired by one of the big studios to
be another Clark Gable" To try to
be another anything is to faunt red
cloak at the dangerous bull of public
opinion. 1t arouses the show-me atti-
tude among the millions of movie fans

1t was Cary Grant who, as the Saliva
ton Army preacher. received the
celebrated West invitation that was
heard around the world: Come up
and see me some time!'
Somehow Grant survived. In fact he
always seems to land on his feet And
no wonder He was once an acrobat.
He was born in Bristol, England.
His father, Alexander Leach, was

District Attorneys OF

To Suppress Games

SAN FRANCISCO, June
"a. (UP)-Gambling is not

must be uniformly restrain
ed throughout the state, ac-
cording to Attorney General Earl
Warren, who was flatly on record
today as willing to take both re-
sponsibility and leadership to stamp
out slot machine and other gambling
operations anywhere.
Warren told the California Dis
trict Attorneys association that
county authorities have no right to
create policy on the subject of
gaming, and said that they, as
well as himself, must take that
policy from the legislature.
Inasmuch as the legislature has
decreed that some gambling opera
tions are illegal, no local prosecut-
ing forces can take any other posi-
tion than strict enforcement of the
statutes, Warren added.

authority to permit gambling be-
cause the views of his community

Peace Guarantees
Due from Russia
Great Britain, France
Continue Efforts to
Obtain Red Cooperation

PARIS, June "a. (UP)-
The Anglo French-Russian
security front pact will be
concluded despite the diff
culties that have come up
during nine weeks of negotiations,
Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet
told the French council of ministers
today.
Bonnet assured the other cabinet
members that negotiators for Great
Britain and France would continue
their efforts to conclude the agree
ment with the Soviet. He empha-
sized that Russian support was in
dispenSable for the cementing of
the structure of European peace.
This official optimism was not
reflected, however, in circles iden-
titled with the Soviets which main-
tanned that Russia will stand pat
on its demands that the Baltic
guarantees be placed on an equal
footing with the Franco British
security guarantees to Poland, Ru-
mania and Greece.
Reliable sources said that the
proposals offered Russia

must be distinction in the guar
antees offered the Baltic states.
