| THE talkies made John Boles one of the most sought after singing actors
in pictures. Born in Greenville, Texas, October 27, 1899, Boles was slated
to study medicine at the University of Texas. After war service, however,
he turned to the stage and played in musical comedy for several seasons.
Gloria Swanson signed him for the lead in "The Love of Sunya,"
but until the talkies gave his voice a chance, John was just another actor.
He is 6 feet 1, weighs 180, has brown hair and grey-blue eyes. Married and
has two daughters. |
