Major George is a veteran of the Army service, who began his serv- | ice during the World War. He re- mained with the service and went into construction work attached to the Quartermaster Corps.

Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Rebbin Coven HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 21.—Every other actor you meet will confide. sconer or later, that his real ambition is to become a director. Hearing it so often, you hegome skeptical—but looking bdck on the past few years there's evidence aplenty that the boys do mean it. Richard Dix, so set on directing, once had a contract that allowed him that privilege as well as acting, but “Man of Con- quest” has delayed the day for him again, George Raft is talking about it now—for “some day'—and Lew Ayres, who *alked about it, already has had one fling behind the cameras, admi now he wasn’'t yet ready. But several actors—notably Norman Foster, Glenn Tryon, Raoul Walsh, Ri ‘do Cortez—have made the switch in the past dozen years or so. There’s nothing new about it. was acting in his own comedies, directors like Mal St. Clair, Eddie Cline, Wesley Ruggles. David Butler hammed aboul before he got on the right side of the camera—behind it. A long time ago Mack Sennett and from his comedies came The other day Irving Cummings celebrated 30 years in the movie industry, where many another has been engaged that long without cause to celebrate. Cummings, too, was once an actor. Commercial tie-up aside, it was an interesting gathering. Cum- mings told how Francis Powers, pioneer director among the guests, had induced him, then a resplendent stage juvenile, to appear in th scorned flickers for a salary of $30 a week, and subsequently had let him go because he demanded $35. i Cummings draws his present four figures weekly because, after a term of years as leading man lx&dr,mr (remember him ~ “Come and Get It” Has a Special Meaning . . Tasty food, efficient service and an atmosphere truly home-like sound the old call of “Come and Get Tt" . . atPERCY’S 2 with Lottie Pickford in that fabulous serial, “The Diamond from the Sky?”) he noted when shaving one morning that his hair was thinning and his chin was showing a slight tendency toward repeating itself. Both physical manifestations being incompatible with the status of romantic leads of the day (though nowadays they're 'laughsd off with a toupee and chin exercises), Cummings decided to break over then and there. It was as tough then to convince producers than an actor could direct other actors as it is today. Nobody would take a chance on him, although many producers offered him roles in which to peddle his brand of pork. So Cummings mortgaged his house and lot and borrowed $6,000 and by self-proclamation became Irving Cummings, director. He couldn't afford any other leading man than himself, and he did most of his camera set-ups and all his stunt work, but after a lap dissolve indicating time’s passage he had what he wanted—a couple of two-reelers about the Northwest Mounties. Hollywood looked right through them, but Cummings took his stunting scars—still visible over his right eye—and his cans of film to New York. He sat in a day-coach all the way, with the cans underneath the seat—and when he got there and won a showing, he could come back to Hollywood as a successful director. He's one of the reasons actors keep on wanting to direct—a credit title doesn't need a toupee to look impressive. |
