LEWIS STONE’S LONG CAREER
FORTY YEARS ON STAGE AND SCREEN
Lewis Stone completes forty years on stage and screen with the making of “Andy Hardy Meets a Debutante.”
His initiation into show business occurred in 1900, when he neglected his high school classes to write a' vaudeville sketch and then tried to sell it to a Broadway manager. He wound up by selling the sketch and his services as an actor to play in it. From then until 1919, with an eighteen months’ gap for army service during the first world war, he played in stock and on Broadway. In 1919 he transferred his talents to Hollywood where his record of continuous screen appearances is one of the longest established by any film favourite and brought him finally to the role that looks like a life-long occupation: Judge Hardy of the Hardy Family series.
