REGIS TOOMEY
STAGES A COMEBACK. Back in 1931 Regis Toomey enacted one of the screen's most memorable death scenes in "Alibi," the screen’s first all-talking gangster drama. He did such a grand job of it that he was inevitably typed as the one who died. Death roles don't help an actor, and Toomey soon faded from public attention. But of late he has started a comeback and has done several fine little character parts, and now he has been signed to the best part of his comeback career, that of the young lawyer in “Arizona.”
