 One of the high points during Conway's career was directing his studios first sound picture in 1928. It was Alias Jimmy Valentine" starring William Haines.

Jack Conway, Director Since 1909: Says Hollywood Much Less Colorfa1l Than 1t Was in Old Days of Movies
By VICTOR oUNsON Central Press Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD-Back directing pictures after d tw0-year illness, Jack Conway took another good look at Hollywood today and opined it ain't what it used to be.
 Jack, who has probably directed more top flight stars than any other man in the movies, can look a long way back-all the way to 1909, to be exact.
 NO, Hollywood is nowhere near as colorful as it was in the early days" Jack says. "The tow n has pretty well calmed down. Times have changed and so has Hollywood.
 "When I say that to people they laugh at me, but it's fact. The people who haven't been here near ly as long as I have say that talk that way because I'm getting old. But, that's not the case, it's fact"
 Conway started out as an actor on the stage with the old Belasco company in New York city in 1907. Two years later he came to Hollywood at time when what is now part of the center of the screen capital was aa orange grove.
 He starred in the first picture produced here, Her Indian HeSo,' made by the Nestor company. It was a two-reeler, made in two days outdoors. His heroines were Dorothy Davenport, who later married Wallace Reid, and Vic toria Ford, who became the wife of Tom Mix.
 Conway got the top salary of S75 a week, which was big money at the very beginning, although in very few years screen sal aries had reached a peak where William Farnum was paid $10,000 week, highest salary in the his- tory of the ir211try.
 Hand-to- Mouth Then
 Conway. who returns to his work directing High Barbaree" says: "In those early days no one had much money. As matter or fact, sometimes it used to be very much of hand-to-mouth eX- is.ence.
 "Of course" Conway laughs, mo matter what they had every one tried to make as big a show as possible.
 T remember one point in my career. Things hadn't been going too good and I ran S2,000 into debt. Then I got four pictures to direct in row.
 "When I got paid l first paid off my debts and then I went out and bought a $9,000 automobile. It was a rakish car which, of course, couldn't afford.
 linen I went out and hired chauffeur. I certainly felt like a big shot driving around in that car. but think sometimes the chauffeur had to buy the gasoline as often as l did"
 Conway explains that the whole social life of Hollywood was much

Mystery Surrounds
Walsh Resignation
As Rams Coach
BY ths As.eeiuted Press

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11.-Adam
Walsh abruptly resigned as head
coach Of the Los Angeles Rams and
disclosed today that he was "open
for any suggestions or offers"
But the big question here and
around the National Professional
Football League was simply: Why
did he relinquish what most observ-
ers call q choice assignment?
The man famous as the center Of
Knute Rockne's great -Four Horse
men" teams at Notre Dame In the
early '20s would give no intimation
Of what prompted his decision.
Prepared statements issued by
Walsh and Presidents Owner Daniel
F. Reeves of the Rams insisted the
parting was friendly.
Reeves Praises Walsh.
I'VE are going our respective ways
the very best of friends and I wish
him the best Of luck" said Walsh,
adding that Reeves had offered him
an extension this year Of a five-year
contract he signed in 1945 5-one that
contained . two-year option clause
for Walsh.
adam Is a very fine gentleman
and q fine football coach. His rec
ord speaks for itself. I wish him the
best OF luck" said Reeves.
Last season, his first in pro ranks,
Walsh piloted the then Cleveland
Rams to their first national cham
pionship. This year he guided Bob
Waterfield and company to runner
up position in the Western Division,
and the Backing Of q new Los

better than $1,000 per home game.
