About Agents

About Agents
Your modern Broadway dra-
matte agent-and there are but
very few big oneS-conducts
nothing more than an actors
employment agency. He must
listen to stories of love, Of
laughter, Of need, of starvation,
Of happiness-and he must di-
gest them all. For they are all
spokes in his wheel Of business.
All day long, actors and &C
tresSes file in and out Of the
dramatic agents office. Some
are good. Some are impossible.
Some are already stars. Coming
and going. Coming and going.
I dropped into just such an
office one afternoon last week.
It was not new to me, but for
some reason or other the drama
Of the thing struck home for
the first time. Sit with me and
see why. -.
This specific office has let

A fairly large office. Switch

Four o'clock. The office is
crowded. To the left is a door.
It leads to the boss and is al.

Extras
By HARRISON CARROLL

By HARRISON CARROLL
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. i.
Marriage is an almost forbidden
| luxury for Hollywood extras-pa.
ticularly the men.
Cant afford it," they say de-
cisively.
One atmosphere-man who has
been an extra for seven years,
and who draws top pay, states
the case more fully: I'D like to
get married." he says, "but I
can't plan ahead. 1 can't tie
myself to any payment contracts
for a house, lot or furniture.
When times were better, I've
made as much as $3.50 in one
week. But the next week, I
might make $40. And these
days. it is more likely to be the
smaller figure"
This man declares the class
"a" extra must spend 5000 a
year on clothes. The more COM
plete his wardrobe, the more and
better jobs he gets.
Of the several men questioned,
not one thought marriage to an
extra girl would make for happi.
ness. THE sweetest of them"
one declares, absorb a certain
amount of harshneSS after
they've been in the business for
any length of time. And, more.
over, they wouldn't respect us.
They'd see us ordered around the
set too often by second and third
assistants. It's a different thing
when a man works in an office
and can come home and brag
about what he's done during the
day."
The percentage of married
extras is much greater among the
women. Dave Allen, of Central
Casting Bureau, says it may run
as high as 80. This is allowing
for the girls who take off their
rings when they apply for jobs.
fl d extra-girlS just as averse
as the men to marrying in their
own profession. 'The men are
too self-centered," they say,
you couldn't stand them as hus-
bands"
Several of the girls are ready
to defend the men for standing
aloof. They accuse their sex Of
gold digging in a small way
meals, powder, makeup, etc.
It is strange impaSSe. All the
extras are stretched on tenter-
hooks, living on hope. Natural
attractions are Stifled, sympathy
denied. Small wonder you run
across so many tragedies and
heartacheS.

Harry Brand was asking AL Jol-
son why he and Ruby Keeler
