CHARACTER CHIEF
FILM REQUIREMENT

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 5.-P)-Ten
qualifications necessary in feminine
film actress are listed by executives
of several movie studios here.
Character is the first requisite, with
personality second, beauty third and
intelligence fourth. Imagination is
rated fifth.
Grace, poise and carriage come
sixth, in the opinion of the film execu-
tives, and knowledge of drama is
held an important asset if one is to
reach the top.
A girls environment is given rat
ing, as the home life and surrounding IS
of a potential actress carry much
weight in the selection of an appli-
cant.
Age ranks ninth, with education and
training tenth.
Various ways of determining the
qualifications are employed. At enc
studio the applicant walks the length
of the employment managers office
and is scrutinized before speaking.
A ruler is suspended from the wall,
near the entrance. As the applicant
passes it, the manager judges her
approximate height. She is asked to
remove her hat. Thus her style OF
hair dressing and the manner in which
she takes off her hat are noted. Her
carriage and poise are revealed when
she is asked to get book from a
shelf.
