THE VILLAIN PAYS.
As he was walking down the street peacefully and contentedly in Hollywood the other day, Porter Hall suddenly realised that he was being followed by a number of children. When he turned around one of them pointed to him and said, "Yes, that's the man. You' killed Gary Cooper." They had seen "The Plainsman," in which Porter Hall shoots Gary in1 the back. The children were not going to tolerate a man who would, shoot their hero in the back, and Porter was practically mobbed. The strange thing about it is that Porter was well known on the New York stage for his light comedy roles. He was brought to Hollywood to play the murderer in "The Thin Man" and has played disagreeable and murderous parts ever since. In "The General Died at Dawn" he was Madeleine's weak father. Porter recently signed a contract with Paramount. ,
