When Dick made up his mind to become an actor instead of an M.D., his father, who opposed the
step, demanded that he give up the family name of Brimmer, also. After appearing in stock and
several Broadway productions, a screen test was arranged for him. He didn't like it and returned to
the stage. In 1921 he took another test which was so satisfactory that he was given a contract. Dick
was born in St. Paul, Minn., July 18, 1895, is 6 feet tall, weighs 184 and has dark brown hair and
eyes. He is still single.
