Born In New York
Hellinger, born in New York
City March 81, 1908, launched his
writing career on Tits, a thea
trical weekly. There, wag said,
he became adopt at boiling down
three line paragraph into full
column.
In 1928, young Mark got a Job
on the New York Daily News,
and Broadway was his beat. His
news stories about the joys and
tragedies of the roaring tWentles
packed 80 much zip, sobs and
chuckles that in six months he
had signed column, making him
perhaps the first Broadway col
unnist.
Hellinger wrote with racy
gusto about the scrub women in
theaters, the bookies, the soda
Jerks. Most of his stories ended
with a snapper, in the o. Henry
style.
In 1880, Hellinger switched to
the Mirror and also wrote the
last Ziegfeld follies produced by
iggy himself, "Hot-Cha." He also
stretched his nergy from 1880 un-
til 1887 to include two books, a
Sunday newspaper page and a
sportsman's manual. He occasion
ally stuck his nose into vaudeville,
and had his own radio show.
Hollywood filmed two of Hell
linger's writings, Might Court"
and broadway Bill" And in
1887 the writer himself was lured
to filmville. AS a writer and pro-
ducer at Warmers and Fox Stu
dios, he gave movie fans hard
boiled films like They Lrive By
Night"
Hellinger turned independent
producer two years ago. His first
picture, The Killers" from Ern-
est Hemingway's short story, was
a hit. He returned only last week
from Sun Valley, Ida, where he
conferred with Hemingway about
filming another story.
Hollywood Rebel
He also made Brute Force" )"
and, as yet unreleased, "The
Naked City"
Hellinger, a Hollywood rebel
to the last, never lost his Broad
way flavor. His black limousine
sported New York license plate
above the California plate. The
day of his death, newspaper
syndicate came out as usual with
his weekly short story. Today's
was called Rendezvous"
In Hollywood, fast talking Hell
linger was known as "the man
hates" He called men
"pappy" and women "darling."
He always wore dark shirts and
white ties.
Hellinger had the same formula
for his stories and his pictures.
1T may be-" he always said.
''That you'll find a tear in just
one of these stories. Or a snicker.
Or a genuine laugh. If you do,
I'll feel amply repaid"
The Hellingers were divorced
in 1882 but remarked year
later. They had two adopted
Mark and Gladys.
The funeral will lbe Wednes-
day.
