Fired from the movie "A Midsummer's Night dream" by director Max
Reinhart after a prejudiced comment about Reinhart's Jewish background.
Mr. Reinhart was quoted as telling Beaumon "You will never work in
pictures again!" He did work in a few pictures following this but the
roles offered were not as numerous. Unlike his famous roommates, John
Wayne and Clark Gable, Leon dropped out of motion pictures and went
into Real Estate.
