| Mitchell Lewis, the latest addition to the Metro galaxy of screen stars,
is a living exponent of "climbing the ladder of success." He began
his stage career as a boy in the opera house in Syracuse, N. Y., where he
because a "grip," shifting scenery. Soon he was assigned small
parts which continued until they led to an engagement in "The Chinese
Honeymoon" then a popular musical comedy. Mr. Lewis then affiliated
himself with motion pictures, first with Reliance and then with Thanhauser.
A season on the speaking stage with Nazimova followed, after which he played
with Harold Lockwood and Viola Dana in their first Metro pictures. He will
next be seen in the picturization of four of the late Jack London's novels
of Alaska, in which he will play the strong, rugged heroes of the London
books. |
