Hollywood, California January 11, 1926 Don't get barbarous!" Lew Cody warns George K. Arthur, as the latter "baptizes" their new barbershop by trimming his partner's moustache. This ceremony was part of the opening of a new barbershop in Hollywood, across the street from the Writers' Club, in which the two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer players, with Renee Adoree, Jack Conway, and other screen celebrities are stockholders. The shop is designed with makeup and beauty departments as necessities to screen players, from which its principal patronage is drawn. |

Los Angeles, California December 15. 1932 Perhaps permanently scarred as a result of a deep cut over the eye he received when he was assaulted by Thomas Boyrle, wealthy and brawny business man, George K. Arthur, diminutive actor-producer, prepared to sue his assailant. Boyrle, who was fined $10 for assault and battery when he was captured and brought into Municipal court, was said to have attacked Arthur during a traffic argument in Hollywood. Through his attorney, Ralph H. Blum, the actor will sue his assailant for "a very considerable sum," the amount depending on how much of a scar is left by the cut, in which two stitches were taken, he said. |
