WALSH AT LAST TALKS A WEE BIT In all that has been said and written of the “Th" Thief of Bagdad.” there has been so little mention of the director —hut the director himself is to blame. Raoul Walsh is one of those fallows so busy gefing things done in his quiet way that he hasn’t time to look for the spotlight. Many years ago, when he was one of Griffith's j assistants, it was the same. This quiet, unassuming, efficient man had to be sought out by those j who were looking for someone to relieve Griffith of directing some! short subjects. Walsh's ability alone brought him the opportunity. He kep’ climbing, and when he made the f Hsnor Sytem” he put over one of the first l so-called "big" pictures. I Many people wonder why he his ■not made more pictures, and n interview brought out this reason: “I think.” he said, “that I was meant to be a gypsy. T love to travel, and although I have been almost everywhere in the civilized world, I still have perjpdic urges to move about. As soon as 1 finish a picture. I travel around. “When I w.®F a kid I would slip away from home and work my way on the Fall River boats for several round-trips while my family fratically searched for me: then I'd go back to school for awhile and try io settle down. “The only time I ever stayed in one place for any length of time was during my college course, an 1 that was because of that an education would help me to appreciate traveling. “By the time T finish a big picture I feel that T hav" ben in one place long enough and a complete change of environment freshens me up. and when I come back I am eager to get into harness again.” “The Thief of Bagdad” opens on Sunday night, Oct. 5. at English's. HTNTFR TO OPEN SEASON AT ENGLISH’S Glenn Hunter, who has scored the bit of his carper as M°rton Gill in “Merton of the Movies,” knew wha; it was to actually go hungry and to • be without a place to sleep, as does Merton in the play. Born in Highland Falls, N. Y., he cam® to New York City at the age | of 17, strong and self-confident that before long some manager would . sign him up at a big salary. When his money was gone he wrote home I that he was doing fine, and hunted up a comfortable unoccupied bench | in Central Park, where he rolled tip ' his fur coat for a pillow and went . to sleep. That’s the way it went fn, 1 some time. Then one day he picked up a newspaper on a bench and naturally turned to the theatrical column There he read a story by Zee Beck- , ley with such a human touch that he resolved to see her and tell her i his story. Asa result of the interview. Miss Beckley got him his first chance — an introduction to the Washington Square Players, and they gave him ' $lO a week to play small parts. It ; seemed quite wonderful to Hunter 1 and he remained there two years, realizing the experience he was getting was worth more than immediate money to him. After that came the comedy. “Merton of the Movies.” In it Hunter created the part of Merton Gill and played it for more than a year at the Cort Theater, New York. And the same organization is coming to English’s for a half week's engagement, beginning next Thursday night.
