From Wikipedia:
March was born in\u00a0Racine, Wisconsin<\/a>, the son of Cora Brown Marcher (1863\u20131936), a schoolteacher from England,[3]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0and John F. Bickel (1859\u20131941), a devout\u00a0Presbyterian<\/a>\u00a0Church\u00a0elder<\/a>\u00a0who worked in the wholesale hardware business.[4]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0March attended the Winslow Elementary School (established in 1855),\u00a0Racine High School<\/a>, and the\u00a0University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison<\/a>,[citation needed<\/a><\/em>]<\/sup>\u00a0where he was a member of\u00a0Alpha Delta Phi<\/a>.[5]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

March served in the United States Army<\/a> during World War I<\/a> as an artillery lieutenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He began a career as a banker, but an emergency appendectomy<\/a> caused him to re-evaluate his life, and in 1920, he began working as an “extra” in movies made in New York City, using a shortened form of his mother’s maiden name. He appeared on Broadway<\/a> in 1926, and by the end of the decade, he signed a film contract with Paramount Pictures<\/a>.[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n
