ALLAN SIMPSON COLLAR
POSEUR IN MOVIES NOW
Monday and Tuesday-?Man
Whose Pane Has Been Seen
in Advertisements Plays in
"The Exciters'*
/He can't walk along a public high
way without beln recognised! Even
Et,rangers say "Hello" to him with the
assurance that they know him wall,
but cant place him. His face is al
most as famous as Thomas Meighan's
?yet few .people know his nemo. His
Jikeneas stares at one from billboards,
electric signs, subway cards and state
windows, and now in front of motion
picture theatres.
His name is Allan Simpson, poseur
for nationally known collars, cigar
ettes and hats. Now hs is a member
of the supporting cast of the Para
mount production of "The Exciters",
co-starring Bebe Daniels and Antonio
Mqfteno, which is on view at the
RICHARD THEATER next Monday
and Tuesday.
When Simpson applied for work at
Paramount's Long Island studio, the
casting director frankly told him that
he was hired because of bis classic
features only, and not because of his
histrionic ability which had not been
proceed. Some time later, when Simp
son was given a part in Allan Dwan's
production of "The Glimpses of the
Moon," the casting director was
pleasantly surprised. Simpson play
ed a somewhat minor role in this pic
ture with such taste and discrimina
tion that he was immediately signed
for work in "The Exciters."
It might be imagined by those who
do not know Mr. Simpson that he is
conceited. But Simpson can't help
but know he's good looking. He's
been receiving fine salaries from var
ious manufacturers just for repro
duction of his features in connection
with commercial products long
enough to realise that fact.
"The Exciters" is a superb pic
turization of a popular stage play
directed by Maurice Campbell and in
cluding in its supporting cast Burr
Mcintosh, Diana Allen, Bigelow
Cooper, Cyri Ring, Ida Darting, Jane
Thomas, George Backus, and other
playen of note. -? : -
