CURIOUS “FIRSTS”
VARIED LIFE OF RIESNER. Charles F. Riesner, who directed Walter Wanger’s “Winter Carnival." to be released shortly in New Zealand, has led a varied life and has a curious list of “firsts” that have taken place in his life. In his youth he was a prizefighter and his first bout, a main event, he won. The first time he played golf was in a tournament. The first time he wrestled professionally was against Frank Gotch, then world's champion. The first time he had anything to do with a motion, picture he directed it. He sold his first play, motion picture scenario, and,book. And. he married the first girl he ever courted—and is still married to her.
