HOLLYWOOD - s.Ore Of the
quaint customs OK this commit
nifty" said Ben Hecht. is that
when a man is down. the rest of
the citizens get clubs and beat the
whey out OF him"
The writer. who's now taking
one OF his occasional filings at
directing and producing. had just
announced that he had engaged for
a character role In the picture the
Sweeney OF the once-celebrated
vaudeville team OF Duffy and
Sweeney. An excellent actor. he
said. and one who could be very
valuable to Hollywood. Yet. be-
cause Sweeney had had some years
of obscurity and needed job.
Movietown wouldn't give him a
chance.
Maybe you remember how 1t
was with Julius Tannen," Hecht
continued. Now there was an
other good actor-a big shot on
Broadway and especially well
liked. He came to Hollywood and
spent his money and helped a lot
of people who needed ii. He got
a few parts, but not good enough
ones TO show what he could do.
Finally the studios didn't seem TO
have anything for him.
"One day his agent heard about
a job at Paramount that sounded
like a pretty good thing, and 1t
was just the sort of role he could
do best. Tanner rushed over there.
The producer looked at him and
shook his head. He said, 7 want
a bald-headed man.
"That didn't faze Tanner. be-
cause he wears a toupee. He just
reached up and took off the topper
with one painful yank. A couple
of hunks of scalp came with it,
but Tanner didn't mind that
either.
$50 the producer looked at Tan
men and shook his head again. He
said. 'Nope-sorry-I can't visu-
alize you as bald-headed man.

REWARD
For sheer stupidity and ingrati-
tude toward able players. know
of nothing to equal Hollywood's
treatment Of Hobart Bosworth.
About five weeks short of his
I'D birthday, few of his friends
recently helped celebrate Bos-
worth's 55th anniversary as an
actor. On June 80, 1885, he played
a walk-on bit at the California
theater in San Francisco. Two
years later he played with Maude
Adams. who was an ingenue then.

appeared in the first motion pic
ture made In California. It was
THE Power Of the Sultan" pro-
duced by Colonel selig, and the
studio was the drying yard of a
Chinese laundry in downtown Los
Angeles. He became a star as well
as a director and writer. and in
the early years of movies did much
to stabilize and win responsibility
for a wildcat industry.
After that-but this needn't be
an account of what Bosworth has
done. The point is that he still
can do a great deal, but that
Hollywood won't hire him. Bos-
worth himself told me that casting
directors seem to think of him as
just an old has-been, likely to
prove expensive to a studio If his
health falters in the middle of. a
picture.
Actually this actor has an as
tonishing physique and an amazing
memory. Since came west" he
said, II have not missed one day
of work through illness. I box
with my son every day when he's
in town. I'll bet I can outrun and
outswim any man in pictures
