WALTER  COLE

"Lon Chaney, Mae Busch and Matt Moore have the leading roles in "The Unholy Three," a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film.  The "atmosphere" is supplied by Alice Julian, who weighs more than 300 pounds, Walter P. Cole, human skeleton; Peter Kortos, sword swallower; Vera Lance, dancer; a wild man of Borneo, bearded woman, all the "freaks" of the canvas tent." from newspaper entertainment column "News Notes from Movieland" by Daisy Dean  (Feb 1925)

"The living skeleton, Walter Cole, weighs only forty-nine pounds, although, take it from the lecturer, he weighed 175 at the age of 18.  then he began to grow thinner and nobody knows why."
