Shortage of Players

HOLLYWOOD expects a shortage of
IL motion picture players this sum-

Unless many of the screen celebri-
ties now working in New York are
brought back to the Pacific coast,
producers will experience a dearth
of acting talent, according to NJ. c.
Levee, picture producer.
Already 1 am having difficulty in
casting my next production" says Mr.
Levee. Although We've been look

roles for several weeks, we have not
yet been able to fill one of the parts"
Following the slump here this
winter,many popular screen players
left Hollywood for New York where
they hRsye been busily engaged dur
ing the past few months. With pro-
duction rapidly coming back to it's
summer peak, it has already become

Perhaps the oldest thing OF all is
that they resent any kind of deform-

There are two characters on the
screen that the audience feel vicious
toward. The worse they are treated,
the better they like II. These are the
policemen and the man in the top hat.
For some extraordinary reason, they
feel abused if you let a man in a top
hat escape unscathed. They want
something done to him. T imagine the
reason for this is something deeper
than the mere fact that top hat looks
funny falling off
After all, the joke of life is the
fall of dignity. And tho top hat is
the final symbol of dignity"
