Actor Complains Of Stereotyped Roles
"I don't get any chance to reform," claims Earl Baldwin,
who is playing a leading role on the Marque and Ivy presentation of short plays by Arthur T. Horman.
"Ever since my affiliation with this organization, I have had a long succession of
'renegade' roles, varying from French criminals to political ward bosses and now to that of a tramp."

Nurses Revealed AS Extras When Man Hurt
It never rains but when it pours might apply to the case of
Earl W. Baldwin, an electrician at Fox Movietone City.
Baldwin was injured recently while working on a set being used to film scenes for
Jessse L. Lasky's production, "The White Parade," which will be shown at both Grauman's Chinese and
Loew's State theaters Thursday.
Perched on a bit of scaffolding some 30 feet above the floor, Baldwin lost his
balance, fell and sprained a wrist and injured a leg.
The scene was of the "mob" variety, with hundreds of girls costumed as student
nurses. Before any one thought of telephoning for the studio ambulance, several girls stepped
forward and took charge of the injured man. It wasn't long before he regained consciousness and
had his injuries bandaged. It developed that among the extras on the set were more than a
score of registered nurses, temporarily unemployed.
