(Guy) Edward Hearn, né le 6 septembre 1888 à Dayton (État de Washington) et mort le 15 avril 1963 dans le comté de Los Angeles (Californie), est un acteur américain.

Biography

Au cinéma, Edward Hearn apparaît dans près de quatre-cents films américains, le premier étant un court métrage sorti en 1915 ; ses deux derniers sortent en 1955 (dont Les Survivants de l'infini de Joseph M. Newman, avec Jeff Morrow et Faith Domergue).

Durant la période du muet, il tient des premiers ou seconds rôles crédités notamment dans Alias Jane Jones de Cleo Madison (1916, avec la réalisatrice et William V. Mong), Down Home d'Irvin Willat (1920, avec Leatrice Joy), The Devil's Partner de Fred Becker (1926, avec Florence Lee et Philo McCullough) et Les Écumeurs du Sud de W. S. Van Dyke (1927, avec Tim McCoy et Joan Crawford).

Après le passage au parlant, il contribue entre autres à des serials (déjà au temps du muet), comme L'Aigle de la mort de Ford Beebe et B. Reeves Eason (1932, avec John Wayne et Kenneth Harlan) et Le Cavalier miracle d'Armand Schaefer et B. Reeves Eason (1935, avec Tom Mix et Charles Middleton). Le second cité est un western, genre auquel il participe à plusieurs reprises (ex. : The Devil's Partner et Les Écumeurs du Sud précités, ainsi que King of the Pecos de Joseph Kane en 1936, où il retrouve John Wayne).

S'il tient le plus souvent des petits rôles non crédités pendant sa période du parlant, on peut néanmoins relever quelques films notables, tels L'Affaire Donovan de Frank Capra (1929, avec Jack Holt et Dorothy Revier), Eskimo de W. S. Van Dyke (1933, avec le réalisateur et Ray Mala) et L'Inconnu du Nord-Express d'Alfred Hitchcock (1951, avec Farley Granger et Robert Walker).

En fin de carrière, Edward Hearn se produit à la télévision américaine dans quatre séries (1952-1954), trois appartenant au domaine du western ; mentionnons The Lone Ranger (un épisode, 1953) et Les Aventuriers du Far West (un épisode, 1953).

Instead, he receives instructions and parts to build a complex communication device called an interocitor. Although neither Meacham nor his assistant Joe Wilson (Robert Nichols) have heard of such a device, they immediately begin construction. When they finish, a mysterious man named Exeter (Morrow) appears on the device's screen and tells Meacham he has passed the test. His ability to build the interocitor demonstrates that he is gifted enough to be part of Exeter's special research project.

Amateur tennis star Guy Haines (Farley Granger) wants to divorce his vulgar and promiscuous wife Miriam (Laura Elliott), so he can marry the elegant Anne Morton (Ruth Roman), the daughter of a senator, and hopefully have a career in politics. On a train Haines accidentally meets Bruno Anthony (Robert Walker), who recognizes Guy. Bruno tells Guy about his idea for the perfect murders: Bruno will kill Miriam, and in exchange Guy will kill Bruno's father. They have no identifiable motive for the crimes, and therefore they will not be suspects. Guy hurriedly leaves, but Bruno feels he has agreed. Bruno pockets Guy's monogrammed cigarette lighter.

Lex Luthor, the Atom Man, invents a number of deadly devices to plague the city, including a disintegrating machine which can reduce people to their basic atoms and reassemble them in another place. But Superman manages to thwart each scheme. Since Kryptonite can rob Superman of his powers, Luthor decides to create a synthetic Kryptonite and putters about obtaining the necessary ingredients: plutonium, radium and the undefined 'etc.' Luthor places the Kryptonite at the launching of a ship, with Superman in attendance. He is exposed to the Kryptonite and passes out. Superman is taken off in an ambulance driven by Luthor's henchmen, and he is now under the control of Luthor. Superman is placed in a device, a lever is pulled, and the Man of Steel vanishes into "The Empty Doom" (which bears a similarity to the Phantom Zone of the comic books). Most of chapter 7 is a repeat of the origin story from chapter 1 of Columbia's first "Superman" serial, and this serial also finds a way to work in stock footage from Ken Maynard's 1936 Avenging Waters (also directed by Spencer Gordon Bennet). The serial features several elements re-used in later Superman features: the Man of Steel is exposed to synthetic Kryptonite during a public function, as he is in the motion picture Superman III. When he escapes from "The Empty Doom", the headline of the Daily Planet proclaims: Superman Returns, the title of the 2006 Superman movie.
