NEW YORK, May S.--There is a
saying along the Rialto that the best
way to become night club enter
tainer is to go on the stage.
Broadway likes nothing better than
to create new idols of the musical
comedy and revue. Let the star be
proclaimed and Immediately q field
often more lucrative than the stage
is opened in bids made by supper
club proprietors. The same oppor-
tunity exists for artists whose names
have long been established In the
electric signs.
The chorus girl who does not OBJ
ject to more money for theater dane

the supper club. They average from
$50 to $3.50 a week, but in the days
OF the cabaret one did we'll to make
$35 or $40. Hundreds OF these and
other entertainers would be affected

Director Gregory La Cava.

DICHARD DIX's latest comedy,
IN Lets Get Married." Is said to EN-
phasize quite pointedly that Gregory
La Cava, who also directed Dix in
"Womanhandled," has come, appar.
emily, to stay.
La Cava and Malcolm st. Clair, both
new Paramount directors, who already
have made enviable progress in their
field. curiously enough, started out as
newspaper cartoonists.
La Cava was attracted TO the screen
at the start Of his career, but when
nothing else offered. he turned his
ability to account by making ami
mated cartoons, and this ultimately
gave him a chance to break into
comedy direction, with stars like
Lloyd Hamilton, Jack White and
Johnny Hines. +.
His work attracted the attention OF
Jesse l.. Lasky, Of the Famous Play
ers -Lasky Corporation. who invited
him to make a picture for Paramount
He had also helped in the production
Of '"Too Many Kisses" directed Ger
tain scenes for THE Shock Punch

his familiarity with Dix's style Of act

direct Richard Dix comedies hereafter.
