WASHINGTON, June If the
mythical average American" were
asked to picture an American dip
lomat, he probably would say:
He wears spats and carries a
cane; he is a graduate Of Yale,
Harvard or Princeton; he most
likely was born in the east; he
comes Of a wealthy family"
And, with the exception Of the
spats, rapidly becoming passe, this
picture would be fairly accurate.
A few diplomats still wear
spats. Warren Delano Robbins, the
state department officer who tells
diplomats and officials where they
are to sit at state dinners, has

Hoilywood.-It looks as though recent criti0ism of studio executives for failing to build up new stars actually is beginning to bear fruit.
 Producers realize that if they are to pull themselves out of this slump they must revive public interest in motion pictures. New faces and new personalities always have been the most effective methods of ace complaining this step.
 Some time ago six featured players who are ready and waiting to take that one short step which will place them in starring shoes were placed in a schol for stars. one knockout role would do the trick for each of them. And each probably will be handled that role some time during the current
 However, studios are not stop ping there. They have decided to go further. Beginners who have shown outstanding talent in one or two films now are to be carefully groomed for, featured roles and eventual stardom. Eric Linden, Ann Dvorak, Constance Cummings, Vivienne Osborne, Tom Brown, Robert Young, Margaret Perry and sheila Terry are among those whom various studios definitely have decided to push through that treacherous middle stage.
 It is that middle stage which proves tho toughest hurdle in . film players progress. A great many are able to score hits at the start but after that quite . number drop by the roadside. In all prob- ability some of those mentioned above will fall out of line sofne- where along the road.
 Whom 1t will be must remain . riddle for the time being. One bad role might prove to be the impass- able barrier. And studios aren't always as careful as they might be in selecting parts for those whom they are grooming for bigger things.
 Eric Linden scored his first hit in "Are These Our Children" in which he did q magnificent bit of acting. Following that, he scored again In "Young Bride" and Road. house Murder" Those three films

'"I'he M0uthpiccc" With Warren William and sidney Fox Heads Double Bill at the strand

Warren William. screendom's newest eligible for stardom, Is fea- tured in what is destined to become one of 1932's outstanding picture, "rhe Mouthpioce" now playing at Warmers Strand theater.
 "Tho Mouthpieco" deals with tho tragic fate of q great legal light who sends an innocent youth to tho electric chair in an excess of prose- cutting zeal. He learns hlB ghastly error too late. 1fis conscience d0- stroyB his value as q prosecutor. In . revulsion of feeling ho turns to the defense of persons accused Of crime, bringing all the energy and skill that had won him fame as the criminals nemesis to tho. de- fenso of those same criminals nemesis to the defense of thoso same criminals.
 It Is powerful drama all tho way through. modern and upto.the-n1o- ment in theme. There is stirring action, hIgh-iighted by intense scenes in tho death house and tho nant note of romance all through the story, tho Mouthpiece" being n man who loves r0elsiossly and is loved by rockieBa women.
 The theme of "The Mouthpiece" is well handled, two directors col- iaborating on It's production, James Flood supervising the dramntic situations and Elliott Nugcnt co- ordinating tho dialogue with the action.
 Tho cast is also excellent. sid- noy Fox, diminutive star of "Strlct- ly Dishonorablc," plays tho feh- tured feminine lead. Aline Mac. Mahon, whom you remember aa Edward q. Robinson's cynical gcc- retary in "irive Star Final" plays q very important rolo in q some- what similar capacity. Others in the largo cast who play their parts particularly well arc Guy Kibbce,

have given him e great start. What happens from now on is largely up to the film gods. - taf
 Plenty of praises can be sung for Ann Dvorak's performance fl, "Scarface," her initial effort on the screen. That picture showed Q new and interesting personality. Then. proving that she wasn't Q one-pic- ture actress, she repeated in "The Strange Love of Molly Louvain."
 Young Constance Cummings has somewhat of an edge on the others of this group. having played nine leading roles during the last year. And she has made every part stand out.
 Besides, Connie is q gambler. If she doesn't think e part is suited to her, she will refuse to do 1t and take q chance on something better coming along. .i
 vivienne osborne, with plenty of legitimate stage experience as Q background, has scored two hlm hits to date. The first was in Illus bands Holiday" followed by an. other in 1.-TWO Seconds"
 Tom Brown is pretty much of Q newcomer in these parts. So far the only film he has to his credit Is "Information Kid." But he did such q good job in that, he was handed the leading role in "Brown Although "The Wet Parade" hasn't been causing any undue com. motion around the country, Robert Young has been showered with exs tremely favorable comments for his work in 1t. After making this one hit, 1t will be interesting to watch where his path leads.
 And don't forget Margaret Perry and Sheila Terry, both under con. tract to the same studio and both possessing talents which should send them places in Q big way.
 Tho very young Miss Perry handled 0 difficult, so phisticated role in "New Morals for old" in . beau- tiful manner.
 And Miss Terry (don't get them mixed) already has been showed into the leading class as result of her performances in Big City Blues' and "The Crooner."
