ACTORS

Three "Faces". Of Man With Three Names

A man who has bulit up a posi tion almost unique on the screen is now in England.

He makes more pictures a year than any player of equal calibre- and yet by more than half his pub- lic is only remembered as the Man with Three Names.

Although technically a feature player and not a star, he is more popular than many stars and more widely known, and is ranked by many as the best light comédian on the screen.

Instead of being attached to a single studio, he prefers the career of freelance. He has more parts offered him than he can possibly! play and earns a salary that many stars can envy, Every Alm-goer knows that harassed look, that complacent smite ending a su- spicious glance over the shoulder of Edward Everett Horton, better known as the Man with Three Names. You saw him in "Top

Before he became famous in pic- tures he had thirteen years on the New York stage, playing roles of quite a different kind.

MAN OF MODESTY

It was in his "Arst talking pic- ture, "The Tertor," by Edgar Wal- lace made in 1928, that he invent- ed the characterization that has made him famous. He modestly maintains that his reputations as an actor is over-rated."

"I only have three expressions,”. he said, "the surprised one, the pleased one, and the suspicious one. You just assume the right one at the right moment. and you can meet any sluation."
