John Boles (October 28, 1895 – February 27, 1969)
Boles was born in Greenville, Texas.
He graduated from the University of Texas in 1917.
Boles served in the intelligence service of the U.S. Army during World War I.
He returned to Greenville, where he was selected by an
out-of-town producer to act in an opera at the King Opera House.
This experience convinced John that he preferred music and the stage.
He was hired by MGM to appear in a silent film in 1924.
He starred in two more films for that studio before returning to New York and the stage.
In 1929, Warner Brothers hired him to star in their lavish musical operetta Rio Rita(1929).
Boles went back to Warner Brothers as the leading man in an even more extravagant musical entitled
Song of the West (1930) that was filmed entirely in Technicolor.
Shortly after this film, Universal Pictures offered John Boles a contract, which he accepted.
He starred in a number of pictures for them, most notably the all Technicolor musical revue entitled
The King of Jazz (1930) and a historical operetta entitled Captain of the Guard (1930). In 1931, he starred in
One Heavenly Night (1931), which would prove to be his last major musical.
He took the role of Edward Morgan in Curly Top in 1935, starring Shirley Temple.
Boles retired from the screen and stage in 1952.
He later went into the oil business and lived the last 13 years of his life in San Angelo, Texas,
