Bill Bendix, who will play Babe Ruth on the screen, is might happy over Bob Considine’s script. As a locker boy
at Yankee Stadium, Bill used to go out and het hot dogs for Ruth. Later he
graduated to bat boy. Bob wove their meetings into his script. In the picture,
another actor will play Bendix, the licker boy. . . Bob also included the part
Jimmy Walker tossed for New York sports writers when they had a mad on at the
Babe. Jimmy made quite a speech asking the boys to forget their grudge and
remember that Ruth was the idol of American youth. . . In 1921, at the age of
16, Bendix did his first acting at the Henry Street Settlement. He comes from a
musical family. His uncle Max was a Metropolitan conductor, and Uncle Theodore
had a quartet which toured America.
