Allen Hale
Alan Hale,
Actor, Passes
Hollywood, Jan. 23 VP) Death
has taken jovial Alan Hale, at
57, a veteran of 39 years as a
motion picture actor and di
rector.
Hale, one of the last members
of the film colony who had been
active in pictures since its ear
liest days, died last night in Hol
lywood Presbyterian hospital ox
a virus infection, complicated by
a liver ailment.
He became ill last Thursday,
three days after returning from
Helena, Mont., where he at
tended a premiere of the film,
"Montana," in which he ap
peared. He contracted a cold
there. He entered the hospital
Saturday.
At his bedside when death
came were his widow, Mrs. Gret-
chen Hale, his leading lady in
silent days, and their daughters,
Karen and Jeanne.
Hale, a 222-pound giant, had
appeared as "heavy" and hero
in some 200 films. He played
the role of Little John in both
the silent Douglas Fairbanks and
the later talkie Errol Flynn ver
sion of "Robin Hood."
Premiere of John Payne's Epic

so what picture house does John Payne, a movie star, have
to use to show his home-town premier of "Captain China?
The American theater, because the Park can't handle Para
mount pictures. 4
I had an interview with John
Payne at breakfast yesterday.
He is the only "former newspa
perman" who needs a haircut
worse than I do. John studied
Journalism at Columbia univer
sity but never go around to the
serious business of getting print
er's ink and carbon on his fin
gers. At Columbia, John said, he
managed to get his room and
board plus three dollars a week
for running the switchboard at
a dormitory. He said he might
have been able to study a lot
were it not for the fact that he
had too much time to sleep on
the job.
Payne said that he planned to
visit some 17 towns' in order to
promote the picture he stars in.
"Maybe I shouldn't be saying
this," he said, "but in the picture
business we have to travel now
to promote. I have been so busy
since I left Hollywood that I
haven't had a chance to get a
hair cut. You look like you
could use a trim, too."
John showed me his luggage.
He is not the neatest traveler in
the world. There was one of his
biggest bags, a three-suiter made
of canvas. The zipper wouldn't
work. The bag was tied together
with rope.
In "Captain China," Payne
performs with Lon Chaney, who
is a pretty rugged character in
his own right. In the picture the
two have a fight.
The sequence lasts something
like five minutes, but it took six
days to record it.
According to John:
"We had to get pretty violent.
I cracked a couple of Lon's ribs.
In so doing, I wound up with a
broken finger and a chipped el
bow. We didn't have doubles,
and the fight was real. Some
times this movie business gets a
little rough."
John said he tried to keep In
shape and looks up a gymnasium
very tune he hits a new town

But there are compensations
Making love to Betty Grable,
June Haver, Maureen O'Hara
and other lovelies of the screen
is fine work.
But to the folks in his home
town of Roanoke he's the same
little Johnny he always was.
Six bands will greet him today
when he comes home for his
triumph. Mom will be there
and all of the people who claim
they went to school with him,
which amounts to most of the
folks in the place anywhere near
his age.
The Paramount people aren't
missing any bets for the premi
ere. They're going to have our
boy all dressed up in overalls,
sitting in the cabin of the train
as it wheels up.
