So far, game is boring... as hell--

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_Bogart

Bogart's earliest film role is with Helen Hayes in the 1928 two-reeler The Dancing Town, of which a complete copy has never been found. He also appeared with Joan Blondell and Ruth Etting in a Vitaphone short, Broadway's Like That (1930) which was re-discovered in 1963.[44]

Bogart then signed a contract with Fox Film Corporation for $750 a week. Spencer Tracy was a serious Broadway actor whom Bogart liked and admired, and they became close friends and drinking companions. It was Tracy, in 1930, who first called him “Bogey.” (Spelled variously in many sources, Bogart himself spelled his nickname “Bogie.”)[45] Tracy and Bogart appeared in their only film together in John Ford's early sound film Up the River (1930), with both playing extremely large roles as inmates; Tracy received top billing and Bogart's face was featured on the film's posters instead of Tracy's. The movie was Tracy's film debut.[46] Bogart then performed in The Bad Sister with Bette Davis in 1931, in a minor supporting role.
