Ince's latest Para mount photoplay, "Bill Henry," whichl comes to the Auditorium on Tuesday night, April 4th., and this is a new type of youth misunderstood. He starts out as a salesman. That's the way Mr. Ray's parents intended he should start out-in the commer cial world. They send him to the Los Angeles Polytechnic school. While there he edged into the theatre-was a program boy, water boy, usher and then "sub" on the stage. One taste of the footlights upset al parental plans. He started out on the road with stock and musical com panies all of which went broke at some far out of the way place. It was following such a breakdown that he made his way back to Los Angeles determined to try the pictures. Thom as H.
