	Dwight Frye page in Classic Horror Players Directory
		As "Wilmer Cook," "the gunzel," in the early version of The Maltese Falcon (1931), starring Ricardo Cortez, Bebe Daniels and Dudley Digges.
		Dwight's tough thug dominates the very first scenes in the film, packing up his chopper in an instrument case and mowing down a stoolie on his front stoop.
		Dwight is right at home with a brilliant cast including Boris Karloff, Elsa Lanchester, Colin Clive, Valerie Hobson, Ernest Thesiger, O. Heggie and Una O'Connor.

		What I learned is that Frye acted in 60 movies, cast often as servile gnomes, though he had one cool role, as the fall guy, Wilmer, in the 1931 version of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon.
		The story's in Dwight Frye's Last Laugh (Midnight Marquee Press, Baltimore), an adulatory 1997 biography written by Dwight D. Frye, the thespian's son, with two others.
		Worse, Cherone had no idea, said the Globe, that Frye was a real person.
