BY Ethel Vine


Chill Wills is one of Holly
woods most versatile character
actors. He has played cowboys,
oil-drillers, aviators, and a vari-
Gus assortment of comics during
his screen career which began
in 1888 when he was given a
part in western called Law
less Valley" Previously the ac-
tor had toured the country in
tent shows, minstrels, stock,
burlesque and vaudeville. He
was playing in a Hollywood
night club when he was signed
for pictures.
Currently he is appearing in
the M-G-M Technicolor musical,
Best Foot Forward" starring
Lucille Ball and William Gax-
ton. 1t is based on the George
Abbott Broadway hit.
Wills halls originally from
Seagoville, Texas, where he was
born one hot July day and ap-
propriately named Chill. He was
the youngest of half a dozen
husky sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Wills.
He started on his acting career
when he was in his early teens
by joining a travelling troupe of
troubadors. He says his subSe-
quent varied experience gained
in all kinds of entertainment
equipped him for the screen.
When he is not working, Wills
likes to fish or hunt. He also
enjoys raising chickens on his
ranch at Toluca Lake, where he
lives with his wife and small
daughter, Jill.
His pictures include Boom
Town." THE Westerner," Billy
the Kid" "Honky Tonk,"
Apache Trail" Stand BY For
Action" and "A Stranger in
Town" Following Best Foot
Forward" he is scheduled for
See Here, Private Hargrove,"
based on Marion Hargrove's hi
larious description of life in an
army camp.

I conditions. In its later Sc
quences, it points the way to
a cure.
Jackie Cooper is starred in
this outstanding film, and gives
a performance of the type which
long ago established him as one
of the screens most talented
juveniles. But the player who
literally steals" the picture is
Gale Storm, a pretty Texas girl
VIII ose surprising emotional
depth marks her surely as an
important star of tomorrow.
Others who do fine work are
Patricia Morrison, as a juvenile
probation officer; John Litel, as
a kindly judge; ertrude
Michael, as Gales nagigng sis
ter-in-laW; Betty Blythe, as the
society-minded m o h er of
Jackie; Addison Richards, as
head of the probation depart
ment; and Evelyn Eaton, as an
uncomfortable, wayward girl.
Typical Juvenile Story
In the story, Gale accompanies
her new-found friend, Jackie, to
a night club for an evening
which begins innocently enough,
but which ends by bringing her
to the attention of Miss Morrison.
Later, after Jackie joins the
Navy, the lonely Gale is drawn
into an automobile trip with
wild young companions, and
finds herself involved in a muir
der case. Thus begins a series Of
events which are moving and
highly dramatic.
Altogether, Where Are Your
Children" is a forceful and es-
Sentially valuable presentation
of problem which becomes in
creasingly serious. From every
standpoint, it is an exceptional
motion picture.
William Nigh is to be credited
with skillful and understanding
direction, and Producer Jeffrey
Bernerd has achieved most Sue
cessful results in all depart
ments of production. The ori-
ginal story by Hilary Lynn was
cleverly adapted for the screen
by the author and George w.
Sayre, and the camera work by
Mack Stengler and Ira Morgan
is in full accord with the gen.
eral excellence Of the film.

From the very beginning
of his career, Lederer was
helped along the way by fellow
actors. His first acting assign
ment, for instance, came through
the good offices of an actor
friend who wanted the same
part for himself but who never
theless suggested Francis for the
role.
His initial success was so
marked that news of his talent
reached the ears of the great
producer-di director, the late Max
Reinhardt. Reinhardt, always
on the hunt for new talent, saw
Francis in action and immedi-
ately offered him the role of
Romeo opposite Elizabeth Berg
per in the famed Shakespearean
love tragedy. Francis naturally
was anxious to accept but his
own agent insisted on the right
to start his protegee off He re-
fused to free Lederer to work
for Reinhardt.
Place Newspaper Ad
And then a truly amazing
thing happened. Victor Francen
and Albert BasSerman, two of
Europe's greatest actors, when
hearing of Francis plight imme-
diately placed an ad on the front
page of the towns leading daily,
calling upon the agent to free
Lederer from the contract so he
Irgald accept the part with Rein
S<ard The agent replied the
cd j. day, outlining his reasons
for refusal. And then Reinhardt
wrote a letter explaining his
position.
This controversy ragged on the
front page of the paper for
months. Finally the agent yield
ed and Francis was on his way
to glory, and his present high
position in the theatre and on
the screen. This is the first,
and probably last time, in the
history of the theatre that fell
low-actors fought to get another
actor one of the most coveted
roles in the whole theatre.
Francis plays difficult part;
that of twins who are as dis
similar in character as they are
alike in physical structure. He
must project the ide of a psy-
chic attraction between two men
and do it intelligently, and
strongly. This he accomplishes
magnificently..
Francis plays opposite Lynn
Bari, who portrays the exotic
and glamorous Perichole. The
other co-star of this great trio
of stars is the veteran character
actor, Akin Tamiroff. Louis
Calhern is seen as the Viceroy
and ALA Nazimova gives one
of her truly great performances
as the Marquesa.
But fellow-actors are keeping
their eyes on Lederer. He has
always been one of their ia
vorites.
