Decker came to Hollywood three
years ago from the New York stage.
d. Mervyn LIE Roy gave him a part
in "The Great Garrick"-or rather
gave him one word-"touche." That's
all he had to say Decker heard
that Metro was planning Marie
Antoinette." He had once played
Louis XVI, SO made himself up for
the part: his wife took pictures of
him, and they sent them to the
studio. The casting director liked
them. so he gave Decker the part
Of the future Louis XVIII, who
looked nothing like his predecessor! |!
He worked eight weeks, wore IL
changes of costumes And in the
final result appeared for exactly
seven seconds.
After this Decker did a nice job of
fasting for a year. He decided to
return to Broadway, but was then
offered role in Paramount's "B"
picture Never Say Die" He had
one page Of dialogue, but 1t was
enough to prove he could act. In
Hotel Imperial" he was the 7-foot
Cossack; in Beau Geste," scared,
ugly Schwartz.
In his next picture for Fox, "The
Great Commandment" he appears
as a Roman centurion. One of these
days Mr.. Decker hopes to appear as
himself. And you'll be surprised. He
is extremely good looking.

Is a little story as to the why and
wherefore Of this picture. When
Paramount filmed Rulers Of the

mission was offended because the
studio had chosen to play up the
British merchant marine service
rather than the American. This
new picture glorifies the American

background the training ship Cali
