English-born Leslie Fenton came to the U.S. as a child. He journeyed to Hollywood in his late teens to break into the movies, and managed to get several jobs as an actor. He became a reliable supporting actor in many pictures in the 1930s, working his way up to leads in B pictures. He switched to directing later in the decade, and turned out a number of tight, well-made action pictures and several good westerns, the best of which was probably Streets of Laredo (1949). He retired from the industry in the early 1950s.- Born in Bad Kissingen, Germany, in 1885, Hanna Ralph made her stage debut in 1913 and her film debut in 1917.

Jack Hulbert--the brother of actor Claude Hulbert--began his acting career at Cambridge, where he worked in various plays and variety revues. He later had a very successful career on the stage in comedies and musicals. His film debut was in Elstree Calling (1930), in which he appeared with his wife, Cicely Courtneidge. His success on stage carried over into films, and one of his most fondly remembered pictures is Alias Bulldog Drummond (1935), a light-hearted tribute to the popular "Bulldog Drummond" detective series of the era. However, his film career began to fade somewhat in the late 1930s, and by the time World War II ended he and his wife had pretty much left films and returned to the stage.- Ego Brønnum-Jacobsen was born on 24 March 1905 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
