The Life History of Lon Chaney

(Continued from Page 1) to mimic and entertain around the campfire caused tourists to urge him to try out for a theatrical career. When he applied at the Colorado Springs opera house the manager laughed at him. Undaunted, he took a job as prop boy and began shifting scenery. The actors fascinated him and he watched them closely, spending as much time in their dressing rooms as they would permit. About this time Richard Mansfield. the famous character actor of a generation ago, stopped off at Colorado Springs to break a long trip to the Pacific coast. On successive nights Mansfield played “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and “Ivan the Terrible”—and the boy, watching with bated breath from the wings, there pictured his own future. He would be a character actor like Mansfield —a great actor, a man who could take on dozens of faces and grip the interest of his audience like a steel vise. a a u BUT few lives flow along carefully directed lines toward their desired goal—there are foo many chances in the game. So it was with young Chaney. By this time his elder brother, John, had got a job in the theater and his father, thinking one actor in the family was enough, shipped Lon off to Denver to learn a trade as a paperhanger. “I can hang wall paper and lay carpets as well as any man.” the king of character actors said when in a reminiscent mood recently. “The old Antlers hotel in Colorado Springs is one of my jobs and there is still paper on those walls I hung.” One day the young paperhanger received a telegram from his brother, asking him to return to Colo- j rado Springs at once and play a small role with a comic opera company he had organized. Lon jumped at it. 808 A ND so Lcn Chaney became an actor. But it was not the kind of acting—the portrayal of powerful character roles—that he had set his dreams upon. There are too many chances in life for success to come that easily. Instead, he became a pink-tinted chorus man, capering around in comic operas and, in addition, attending to the company’s transportation problems and properties. They barnstormed for a while—and then went broke. Lon heard a musical comedy in Chicago was looking for a dancer ; and a second comedian. He got j the job. but that company soon j went broke on the road and Chaney borrowed $lO from a colored stage hand to get back to Chicago. Jcbs were scarce, but Chaney hung on. He filled in as an actor whenever he could get a chance to play, regardless of the role, and j at other times worked as a stage hand. He still held his card in the stage hands’ union—and continued to do so until his death. a b it THWARTED, but by no means defeated, in his ambition to become a character actor, Lon | finally drifted west with a vaude- j ville troupe. In San Francisco he worked with the Ferris Hartman Opera Company and then joined the famous comedians, Kolb and Dill as stage ‘ director and second comedian. On the same bill with Kolb and Dill were two girls doing a sister act. Chaney was struck with the charm and beauty of one of them. Hazel Hastings. Soon the second comedian and the pretty dancer were married. That was twenty-three years ago and. despite all the vicissitudes of professional life and Hollywood's numerous divorces, that marriage j endured happily until the end and j was blessed with a son, Creighton I

How to recognize a low blood count Fatigue without any apparent cause, sluggishness, loss of appetite, loss of body weight, paleness, boils and pimples are outstanding symptoms of a LOW EED-BLOOD-CELL COUNT. The red-cells are your body builders. They carry nourishment to every part of the body. Also, they remove impurities from the tissues. When your red-cells drop to 80 per cent of normal strength, you haven't the proper number of workers to keep you “fit.” 60 per cent of normal Is dangerous. S.S.S. the great blood tonic—stimulatea the blood-building organs to supply the necessary redcells. Your appetite picks up, your body is strengthened—you feel like yourself again!

Net having sufficient money to get to Chicago, Chaney decided to take a fling at the movies and got his first job as an “extra.” In the old blood-and-thunder tworeelers of that bygone day he played almost every part—cowboy, Indian, hero and villain—out mostly the “heavy.” His first picture in which he was given screen credit was a bloodcurdling thriller that went under

the name of “Hell Morgan’s Girl.” An actor who has to figure on his next meal can’t be too particular with roles assigned to him, but Chaney still dreamed of his character parts. For a time he was a director. Gradually, as his reputation grew, he forced recognition and won. bub HIS chance came when George Loane Tucker was making “The Miracle Man” with Thomas Meighan and Betty Compson as the stars. Chaney was given the part of “Frog,” the squirming cripple. Out of sheer hideousness he made art; his success was instantaneous, his
