Claude Gillingwater(1870-1939)

Was injured in an accident at Paramount Studios in February 1936 and never fully recovered. His suicide note stated that he was worried about his failing health, and possibly becoming an invalid. He did not want to become a burden to anyone, so he chose to take his own life.

I am quite sure, from observation, that people are getting tired of sex stuff, the triangle and all the rest of the cut-and-dried screen formulas, and the development of the character role into a bigger and bigger feature seems to me logical.
