HOLLYWOOD, Cal (P-The re-:
luctance Of picture producers to
feature Acknowledged heroines is
driving two of Hollywood's most
promising oriental players to the
stage in search Of bigger opportu-
mites.
Anna May Wong, whose face is
more familiar TO the average film
ian than some Of the stars she has
supported, will make her stage de-
but in New York this winter, IL
Gilbert Miller's plans to produce
The Living Byddha" do not mis-
carry. There also is a project afoot
to feature here in a Los Angeles
stage production later.
Another player well-remembered
in oriental roles-Etta Lee, a
French-Chinese girl from Honolulu
made her first stage appearance in
Los Angeles this summer in "The
Scarlet Virgin" and plans to tour
the country in vaudeville this win
ter.
Neither Of these players has any
desire 70 leave the screen, but they
have found that the choice oriental
roles of the movies usually 20 to
stars and featured players who are
not oriental, but can make up for
the parts.
Anna May Wong's hope is that her
Broadway appearance Eill be sue
cessful enough 10 give some mo-
tion picture producer the inspira-
ton to star her as the Chinese
princess in Dom Byrne's "Messire
Marco Polo" or, better still. in a
story Of American college life as
lived by a Chinese-AmeFican coed.
The college story is Anna Mays
pet idea because she feels most
Americans know nothing about the
modern Chinese-American girl, and
have not even begun TO guess that
she Is as American in her Ian
guage. habits and mannerisms as
any Cincinnati flspper. Anna May
could play such n part with greater
ease than her oriental characters,
for her family has been in this
country a long time. She was born
in Los Angeles and her parents are
native Californians.
