[4] The marriage ended in divorce in October 1923,[3] when he secretly married Mary Kissel in Mexico.

Artist and reporter Marguerite Martyn described Walter in 1910: He is a man whose growth has not gone to length of limb or body.

His incessant interest in life has taken him to many rough corners of the earth, so he is weather-toughened and looks as if he might be in excellent athletic training.

He has a long upper lip and big eyes which he narrows and fixes upon something way off in the future.

[6] Walter died of cancer on September 26, 1941, in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
