Remember Wally Reid? Famed
Actor's Death Almost Forgotten
By BOB THOMAS
Hollywood, Jan. 19 VP) Probably no more than a handful of
people will recall the 27th anniversary ot Wallace Held s death
yesterday. But it was an event that shook Hollywood to its roots.
Wally Reid, a slim but rugged young man with a whimsical
smile and a charming manner, was a brilliant star of the silent era.
He died at his peak In the
midst of a dope scandal.
Held never cared much about
acting.
Born In St. Louis, he became
a reporter, civil engineer, cow
boy and editor of a motoring
magazine. He went into vaude
ville and drifted to the movie
studios in New York in 1910.
"I never wanted to be an ac
tor," he said later. "1 don't want
to be an actor. The promoters
liked the shape of my nose or
something, and I was powerless
to do what I wanted to do. But
I can tell you this they're not
going to get away with it.
They're not going to ruin my
life the way they ruined my
father's."
His father was Hal Reid, au
thor of melodramas. "He could
have been a great playwright,
but they wouldn't let him," said
Wally.
Fame had snared the actor
after he appeared in a fight
scene in "Birth of A Nation."
He became a sensation and star
red In picture after picture. Then
fortune began to awing against
him.
He suffered a severe gash in
the head while making a picture
in New York. But he continued
making eight pictures a year and
living even faster. Late in 1922,
his studio announced that he was
sick from "overwork and a bad
case of klelg eyes."
Then the storm broke. It was
revealed that dope was the real
reason for the illness.
"More than two years before,
all this trouble started," said his
wife, the former actress Dorothy
Davenport. "It was after his
accident Wally became a dif
ferent man not the smiling,
happy boy I married. Whisky,
whisky, whisky, morning, noon
and night was the program for
months and then drugs.
"He told me he felt like there
were great big lumps at the bot
tom of his head. He begun using
morphine to ease the pain."
The scandal rocked the nation.
Ministers were up in arms. Ask
ed what he would do about the
dope menace, Film Czar Will
Hays dug his foot into the car
pet and said, "I would crush it
like I would a viper."
Reid tried to start a picture,
hut had to be replaced by Jack
Holt. A pitiful shadow of his
former self, he slipped from 150
pounds to 120.
After six weeks of illness, he
murmured "Tell them, mama, I
have won my fight that I have
come back." Then he fell into
a lasting sleep on Jan. 18, 1923
Hollywood's great and thou
sands of fans attended the fu
neral. Said Douglas Fairbanks:
"There should be some recogni
tion by all of the motion picture
producers of Wally's greatness
and worth to the industry.'
Mary Pickford agreed that "it is
a great loss to the picture indus
try."
A friend wrote the epitaph
"Wally has done more in his
31 years than a dozen actors
would do in a lifetime."
Newspaper Guild
Rap Meier & Frank
Portland, Jan. 19 VP) The
Portland Newspaper Guild elect
ed new officers last night and
criticized the Meier and Frank
department store for "the use of
economic pressure."
The criticism referred to Meier
and Frank's curtailment of ad
vertlsing in the Oregonian aft-
that newspaper published
stories on a national labor rela
tions board ruling against Meier
& Frank.
Larry Howes, Oregon Jour
nal reporter, was elected presi
dent of the guild. Llewellyn
Gardiner and Virgil Smith, both
of the Oregonian, were elected
first and second vice presidents,
and John Shanky, Oregon Jour
nal, secretary-treasurer.
