at this sage declaration. Mr.. Young
took a fresh grip on his thinking pow
ers and started to explain.
II don't mean that to be quite as
contradictory as it sounds" he quickly
added. What I do mean is that the
best way to prepare for a successful
screen career is to make sacrifices. One
must establish firm background for
the display of his talents, and that
can be effected in no better way than
in amateur entertainment. That's how
I got my break. ,"
Mr.. Young then went on to mention
some of the great many in Hollywood
who have reached the heights by the
same route.
Joan Crawford" he said, acted in
college theatricals and thus caught the
eye of professional scouts; Robert Mont
gomery and Clark Gable started by the
stock route and vivid example OF
those who achieved definite and pro-
nounced success is Karen Morley. who
began in my own training school, the
Pasadena Community Players.

pecially upon the screen today,
Ann Harding. is an Army girl the
daughter Of a high-ranking Regular
Army officer, whose name was pur-
posely withheld by Miss Harding in fur
nishing the details for a brief story
concerning her professional career.
Miss Harding was born at Fort Sam
Houston Tex. and all of her girlhood
years we're lived at Army posts. She
began her personal career with an in
surance company in New York. while,
as a side line she synopsized scripts
for the motion picture companies.
Joining the Provincetown Players for
a recreation, she there found what has
proved to be her lifes avocation. Lead
ing roles in various Broadway produc-
tions of the stage soon led her to star
dom in plays such as "Tarnish,
Stolen Fruit" THE Woman Disputed
and The Trial of Mary Dugan." After
the last-named play. she went to Cali
fornia for rest, but the screen, clamor-
ing for her services, would not let her
have it. And in a test for starring
contract the die was cast.
One of her first sensationally sue
cesstul pictures was Holiday" Others
followed in quick succession, among
them Paris Bound" Her Private AZ

Charell, who was practically unknown
until a few years ago, introduced spec
tacular stage revues at the Crosse

once established, his fame grew miracu-
lously. Suddenly Charell was more
