his ancestors served in the
L / British Army, but his father
was a newspaper man. George
Brent's earliest ambition was to join
the army, his ambition during his

huge success on the screen.
He was educated in Dublin and grad
uated from the National University.
He was active in sports and played
base ball and foot ball and is still an
enthusiast In these two major sports
His interest in the drama began when
he was in college and shortly after
graduation he joined the famous COM
pany at the Abbey Theater in Dublin.
Finally he came to America hopeful
for a successful stage career. One Of
his first engagements was with the
stock company at Elitches Gardens in
Denver, where he remained for two sea-
sons as leading man. He played in
other stock companies throughout the
country and finally came to New York

however, that the partner who "fts'
the song-that is, writes his share after
the others work is done-has the hard
est job. Occasionally they write an
entire song side by side, lyrics and
music being formed at the same time
This is the least popular method, now

One of the most amusing methods
of constructing song is Hart's habit

is going to write words to new Rod

to Rodgers play his composition over
and over again. AS he hears the melody
Hart dashes off any set of words, mean
ingless and jumbled. but in the proper
meter and containing rhymes where
they should be. He does this because,
once he is alone at the lyrics the

fatal if one were entertaining himself

have to fit perfectly when they are tC

Often, during Rodgers playing, Hart

that remains in the finished song. This
is nearly always the case In the songs
