DOROTHY DEVORE
TO TAKE Up JOB
OF SERIOUS WORK
Screen Coincidence viii
Give Up Her Funny
Movie Roles,
BY A. H. FREDERICK
NEA Service Writer

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. o.
Dorothy Devore, having firmly es-
tablished herself as leading screen
conedienne, now deserts, comedy for
more serious pictures.
ITO get my sense of humoi back, "
Us the way she explains it.
Miss Devore, fresh from the tri-
umph she scored in Hold Your
Breath" a Christie feature wherein
she proved herself a veritable femi-
nine Harold Lloyd for wall scaling
and similar hair-raising stunts, is
making her first dramatic picture
under dictatorship Of Hugo Balm for
Metro Goldwyn- Mayer.
Title of the picture is THE Prairie
Wife" and the male lead is in the
hands of Herbert RawIinson.
Miss Devore, in making the tran
sition, follows in the footsteps Of
scores Of the dramas leading lights,
notably Marie Provost, Gloria Swan
son, Mae Busch and Betty Compson.
That she hopes to follow them to
their present triumphant heights,
may be understood.
Il suppose there comes a time in
the career of comedians and comedi-
ennes when they feel at a stand.
STILL" she says.
II know that was the way with me-
felt that I had gone as high as
possible in comedy work in Hold
Your Breath'-both literally and fig
urarvely. I wanted to try the more
unlimited bounds Of serious pictures.
And really I'm not joking when I
say that almost had lost my sense
Of humor through concentrating
Whether it's the natural reaction
"a swing of the pendulum, so to
speaker something else. I don't
know, but making comedies is a very
very serious matter compared with
the making OF serious pictures. AS
soon as cameras cease grinding on
comedy lots there's somewhat OF
funeral aspect.
THE strain is greater, as comedies
are largely a matter Of improvisa-
ton, and much of the impromptu
business, being displeasing to the di-
rector after being done. necessitates
reshooting of the scene. Not very
soothing to the nerves when the
scene might call for bumps and
bruises

character development. quite ample

tiles. She is trusting in it to estab-
fish her in the more serious side of

nate, l have outlined some of the
chief duties of the Little Theater,
but Indianapolis people who appre-
ciate this movement have a duty
the duty Of cooperating to the extent
of providing a permanent home fol
the society.
Funds must be safe-guarded and
home. Productions must not be too
expensive. l am not putting the
blame on anybody or any group for
the inadequate accomplishments of
real merit last season. But I do
contend that all factions should for
get any difference, put their should
ers to the wheel and give us a real
Little Theatre product. 1t is only
by such sincere cooperation that we
will ever have a permanent home for
the Little Theatre. 1t is also my
conviction that George Somnes
should be returned as director and
guiding spirit of the society. Somnes
has been tested. He has grown in
the last few years. He is in posi-
