Add Hollywood success stories:
the life of W. C- Fields, the bulb

illness, who returns to the screen in

opens Monday for a two day engage

Tears were shed when Fields left
the vaudeville stage for motion
pictures. Tears were shed again
when sound came to the screen and
critics felt that Fields’ peculiar
type of dialogue would never get
by. And more tears were shed when
j Fields’ illness forced him to retire
for more than a year.
“Hq’ll ndv)er perform ‘ jagiain,”
they wailed.
But Fields recovered so complete
ily that his health is better than it
has b»?n in many years and Ms
keen mind is as razoredged as it
was in the days when he started.
