Book cases line all the walls of her

and range in kind from Chaucer's

WOULD EARN RIGHT
TO STAGE STARDOM
Elaine Hammerstein Scorns Pull
and Prefers to Rise by
Own Ability.

Hard work. patience and common
cnse are the ffhrce essentials laid
DOWN by Elaine Hammerstein as step
ping stones to succcss-not forget
ting opportunity when it knocks At
the door.
The screen as a medium TO success
on the stage has been recognized by
kcen-witted players with latent dra-
matte talent ever since the motion
picture reached the popularity II en-
joys today. II is not only school
of expression. but permits the csndi-
date for the so-called Legitimate" to
develop a nationwide following that
is invaluable in climbing the ORA
matte ladder.
Unfortunately, many players. with
4 surprising lack of reason, think
they can leap at first hand to stellar
honors on the stage through faVors
and pull.
In this respect, Miss Hammerstein,
one of the distinctive stars developed
by Lewis J. SelZnick, is notable eN-
ception. The name Hammersteln
means something in the theatrical
world. Her grandfather Oscar HAM
merstein. was known the world over
as a manager. producer and operate
impresario. He built the Manhat-
tan Opera House and the Lexington
Avenue Opera House in New YORK,
and the Philadelphia Opera House in
the Quaker City. Arthur Hammer
stein. her father, is fast attaining
reputation, as a producer that threat
ems to rival that of his distinguished
parent.
All Miss Hammerstein had to do
when she decided to adopt the stage
as a career, was to ask and she would
have received. Her immediate family
could have done much for her and
there was no favor that producers
would not have been glad to extend
to the pretty daughter of the theatre
cal family.
But the young girl-she is only
twenty--showed unusual common
sense for one of her years. win
youth, beauty and recognized tai
ent all hers, she decided that she
would not seek to win recognition
either through family pull, or the
help of friends. but earn her rlght
to stellar honors through her own
personality and ability.
Miss Hammerstein is not yet ready
for the stage, but there is no DOUBT
that IL will claim her later. she is
now appearing in Greater Than
Fame" to be seen for the first times
locally at Crandall's Metropolitan and
Knickerbocker theaters tomorrow,
and when she steps to the stage from
the screen, she is hopeful and be-
lieves that the friends she has made
through hard work, patience and
sheer ability will be the audiences
who will welcome her in the theaters.
