MLVREID MASTERS 'DOPE' ; HABIT FOR WIFE Film Star Said to Be Recovering After Close Cfall From Death j Friends Blamed for Condition Los Angeles, Xec 16. (U- P.) A creator human Interest story than any ever depicted on the silver screen came to light tonigbt.in the heart of Holly wood, when reports were confirmed that "Wally Reid. one of the best known stars in 1 filmdom, aftr break ing physically 'through the convivi ality of his "fair weather" f i lends, has.

Wally has conquered the narcotic habit, con tracted by overwork and Insomnia, ' and Is on the upgrade road to health ' and sane living, according to his wife and mother-in-law, who tonight are happy despite all the notoriety that has come to the star. WOOD TO I'BIESBS V About two years ago when Wally was skyrocketing to success and fame, according to Mrs. Held, he began to be surrounded by "friends" who im posed on his' good nature. At the same time he was working almost twice as hard as most movie stars, producing no less than' 10 big pictures in one year. In addition his "friends" made his homo a regular roadhouse," accord ing to Mrs. lie id. They dropped in j day or night, and the genial Wally never turned -them down. Me had a ; large supply of liquor when prohibi tion came into effect and his "friends" swarmed day and night to help him consume it. Wally tried to entertain them and burned the candle at both ends, she explained. ."About three months ago Wally be gan to realize what condition he was in and that the thing simply couldn't go on. He decided to leave the films for a time and fight the great fight' with himself. He was put on half pay ' by Laskys and first went to the moun tains with a trainer, away from his friends, liquor and everything else.' (It was at this time that Laskys an nounced that Keid had left because of "Kleig eyes," caused by the severe Kleig lights used in filming interiors. Wally wore a pair of dark glasses to aid the belief.) FIGHTS KABCOTICS "He came back feeling fine," Mrs. Beid continued, 'and even reported for work. His narcotic fight was over and Wally was a mighty happy boy, "Then he was taken ill again. His present illness is a puzzle to physicians and we have called in the best ones in the country. . "In ail probability It is the nervous chock due to the sudden stopping of stimulants the body had become accus tomed to. Although physicians almost gave up hope last week, the crisis was passed two days ago, and he is now showing marked improvement. We hope that ha can go automobile riding ia about two weeks." j WILL HATS SILIIfT Los Angeles. Dec. 16. U. P.J " "There is nothing for me to say at this time." declared Will H.
