Future Favorites — Warren Hull (1936) 🇺🇸
Those of you who saw “Personal Maid's Secret,” “Love Begins at Twenty” or any of the other pictures he has made in Hollywood in a few short months, can almost say you know him personally ... such is the personality of Warren Hull.
An easy-going fellow, he has never tried to rush things, even when the idea of going on the stage first struck him ... Hull was born near Niagara Falls ... His father was a manufacturer and was more or less ambitious for his son to follow in his footsteps ... Hull had no objections ...
While in University of Rochester he took up business administration ... Whenever he took part in school plays, his friends and his teachers would tell him that he was cut out for the stage and his first appearance in New York was a result of this urging ...
Hull has a beautiful voice, good looks and the physical perfection of a Max Baer ... It was only natural that his efforts on the stage led to better things for him. In 1924, then just twenty-one, Hull was given the principal role in The Love Song, later playing in The Student Prince, My Maryland and other top-notch shows on Broadway ...
In 1929, Hull turned his efforts to radio and carried star parts on two national networks aside from writing radio scripts ... Then came an offer from Warners ... He told his sponsors of his chance to go to Hollywood and they released him from his contract ...
Hull lives in a charming little house with his wife and three sons ... There is nothing of the actor about Warren after working hours ... he likes nothing better than to come home after a hard day at the studio, pack up a supper and go down to the beach and enjoy the last few moments of sunshine with his family ...
He has no hobbies especially, but could be a professional tennis player if he wanted to be, having held the championship in that game in both college and high school ... He keeps fit by plenty of exercise and no lunch ... His favorite foods are plenty of ice cream and thick steaks ...
His suppressed desires, and he suspects some sort of internal conflict here, are to be both a gentleman farmer and a man of the world ... Have an idea he could be both ...
With his good looks and charming personality, he could easily be a "man of the world." ... But at the same time, with his easy-going air and interest in his home he would fit into the gentleman farmer role very nicely ... Look for big things from this new romantic interest.
