A native of Central City, Colorado, Newmeyer is best known for directing a handful of films in the Our Gang series and for directing several Harold Lloyd movies. With Sam Taylor, Newmeyer co-directed Lloyd in films including Safety Last! (1923), Girl Shy (1924), and The Freshman (1925). Newmeyer also had an extensive directing and acting resume in other comedy short films. He appeared as an actor in 71 films between 1914 and 1923. Prior to his film career, Newmeyer played professional baseball. Partial statistics exist for his time as a left-handed pitcher in Minor League Baseball at the Class D level from 1911 to 1913 in the Southwest Texas League, Michigan State League, and Central Association.[6] He made at least 66 appearances and was the winning pitcher of at least 26 games. Newmeyer was the original director of the first short in the Our Gang series, also titled Our Gang; his version tested poorly, and producer Hal Roach scrapped most of the footage and remade the short with Robert McGowan as the director. Newmeyer, after directing numerous other shorts at Roach, returned to the Our Gang series in 1936 to direct The Pinch Singer, Arbor Day, Mail and Female and the feature film General Spanky. Newmeyer and his wife, Berna, had a son, Fred W. After his film career, Newmeyer worked with the athletic department of University High School in Los Angeles. Newmeyer died on April 24, 1967, in Woodland Hills, California, at the age of 78.

Maurice-Emmanuel-Marie Garros, dit Maurice Teynac, né le 8 août 1915 à Paris où il est mort le 28 mars 1992, est un acteur et metteur en scène français. Au cinéma, il s'est surtout illustré dans des seconds rôles mais pour des réalisateurs parfois prestigieux, comme Abel Gance ou Sacha Guitry (il se révèle un remarquable imitateur dans Donne-moi tes yeux en 1943). Il interpréta au moins deux personnages mythiques: Fantômas dans Fantômas contre Fantômas, de Robert Vernay, en 1949 et le détective Monsieur Wens, créé par le romancier belge Stanislas-André Steeman, dans Mystère à Shanghai, de Roger Blanc, en 1950. Sa voix, à la diction très particulière, lui permit également de s'illustrer dans de nombreuses pièces radiophoniques, disques et doublages de films. À la radio, il joua Sherlock Holmes aux côtés de Pierre Mondy dans le rôle de Watson, à l'occasion d'un feuilleton diffusé sur les ondes en 1958-1959. Il prêta également sa voix à des personnages de Jules Verne pour des disques édités par la firme Festival à la fin des années cinquante: Phileas Fogg dans Le Tour du monde en 80 jours et le professeur Otto Lidenbrock dans Voyage au centre de la Terre. En 1963, dans S.O.S. Météores et Le Piège diabolique, adaptations radiophoniques des bandes dessinées de Edgar Pierre Jacobs par Nicole Strauss et Jacques Langeais, il assure le rôle du capitaine Francis Blake. Dans le domaine du doublage, on peut l'entendre, entre autres, dans le Dracula de John Badham (1979), dans lequel il prête sa voix à sir Laurence Olivier dans le rôle de Van Helsing. Il est inhumé à Paris dans le cimetière des Batignolles (30e division). Source: Article "Maurice Teynac" de Wikipédia en français, soumis à la licence CC-BY-SA 3.0.
