He sang in musical comedy with Anna Held and Fritzi Scheff, acted with Lew Fields, was "under con- tract to the Shuberts for "some 20 years as both an actor and pro- ducer and is also the author of many plays, playlets and short stories. He came to Hollywood as a stage director under contract of Fox Movietone, but also wrote the dialogue for "Mother Knows Best" and acted in "Frozen Justice" and "Hot For Paris" before being as- signed to the "Let's Go Places " rôle.
His part in this current film affords of its heartiest laughs, es- pecially in the unroarious sequence when he and his manager practical- ly wreck a palatial apartment dur-| ing a heated argument.
