Thoughts about actor Lewis Stone

At first I was just going to cite the fact that the food item usually spelled chili was CHILLI in the 1931 film, “Secret Six.”

As the movie progressed, I realized it was a better than average “gangster film” not by Warner Brothers, known for the genre but by MGM.

The cast was incredible but I marveled at Lewis Stone’s performance as what we might call a “shysta” lawyer.

Then I realized this superb actor later was to play “Judge Hardy” in the famed “Andy Hardy” movies with Mickey Rooney as “Andy Hardy.”

What acting range this man, who served the United States in two wars displayed.
