			Neil Hamilton, a veteran of thirty-five show business years, was a motion picture star before that medium learned to talk, beginning his career in 1918 as an extra in silent flickers. He performed for the great pioneer, D.W. Girffith, and in important early pictures. In the original "Beau Geste," he co-starred with Ronald Colman, Ralph Forbes and William Powell. In 1930 he signed with one of the major picture companies as the handsome hero opposite such stars as Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Helen Hayes and Maureen O'Sullivan, and appeared in celluloid successes like "Strangers May Kiss," "The Sin of Madeleine Claudet" and "Torch Song." His favorite picture role was in "Keeper of the Bees," and he also enjoyed acting in "What Price Hollywood" with Constance Bennett; "One Sunday Afternoon" with Gary Cooper. All told, he has more than 400 films to his credit, some of which were made abroad. George Kelly induced him to play on the stage in "The Deep Mrs. Sykes." He later acted for sixty-eight weeks as the presidential canidate in the Chicago company of "State of the Union." Last season he shared honors, although short-lived, with Dorothy Stickney, Luella Gear and Jane Dixon in "To Be Continued." TV fans know Mr. Hamilton as master of ceremonies on "Hollywood Screen Test," and they have also seen him perform in numerous dramatic programs over the video circuits. The Massachusetts-born star now resides in Mamaroneck, New York.
