TEMPEST AND GIELGUD.
It is stated that the late Warner Oland's impersonations of Chinamen in his pictures, particularly that of "Chan" in the detective series, had earned for him over £1000 a week. Strangely enough he was of Swedish descent and was in his native country when he died from pneumonia. He was recognised as a great art connoisseur and his death was widely regretted. It was a strange coincidence that soon after Mr. Oland's demise, the director who had brought him to fame, John G. Blystone, passed away at Hollywood from a heart attack. He was only 45; Mr. Oland was 58.
