composite picture OF a dozen or more
Judges sitting both in the local city
and county court When Eugene
Waiter had completed the scenario
for Just "A Woman" he met Mr.. Will

him asked II he would accept the part
of the Judgc. From that titne on
until the final rehearsal Mr.. Wilson
sedulously visited the various courts
In session in the city. paving particu.
lar attention to the name in which
the Judge OF the court conducted him
self. That Mr.. wilson was able to so
faithfully reflect his observations in
his own acting was probably due 10
his wide experience and his severe
training in that art in many varied
roles.
Nj. Wilson made his first appear

remained for two years, gradually
progressing trough the different
