S. industrial life, stands "The Lodge," the comfortable, greystone mansion of Weirton's founder, Ernest Tener Weir, its most conspicuous feature a swimming pool in the lawn.

He is never seen in Hollywood nightspots and takes no part in actors' disputes. He attended the mass meeting of the Screen Actors Guild last May but sat among the extras and left...
Muni considers himself a very funny fellow, earnestly citing quips, practical jokes and an incident in which he jumped into a swimming pool with his clothes on. At his own insistence Warners allowed him to make a comedy called Hi, Nellie in which he played a wisecracking city editor. The experiment was not repeated...
