TICS DIVIDE ON MERITS OF LOW COMEDIAN IN NEW MUSICAL
Ben Blue Fox
Stage Star

Ten years ago Ben Blue, now at
Loew'S Fox, was an $18-a-week
clerk in a mems furnishing store.
Today he is an internationally
known comedy dancer. Dame for
tune smiled most graciously on
Mr.. Blue, but he gained her favor
because he courted the elusive lady
with constant persistency and with
a zeal that would do credit to any
hard-working beaver.
Selling shirts and socks only re-
quired eight to ten hours a day
which allowed plenty of time for
sleep and diversion. Blues diver
sion was dancing. He spent every
spare moment of his time in
theaters, where dancers were a
part of the program and he would
go home and practice for hours
at a time. Before very long he
got to be pretty good; at least he
thought he was pretty good, so
he cut out going to shows and de-
voted that time to looking for a
job on the stage.
Mr.. Blues home is in California
so the picture capital at Hollywood
was given his attention. There
was an occasional offer as an
extra" at IS a day, but that was
all. Later one of the same studios
paid him q princely salary to star
in some short subjects" Finally,
as is usually the case if you stick
to a thing long enough, and work
while you are sticking, he got a
job with a vaudeville act.
Blue soon discovered there were
far too many dancers in the
world for just another one to at
tract unusual attention, so he be-
gan to rack his brain for ideas.
Every night the fact that people
liked to laugh became more evil
dent, and so he determined to
make people laugh. In a short
space of time he was a comedy
dancer. Then came a position
with the Britton's Brown Derby
Band, and after that, the sailing
was easy. Ben Blue became a
hit, with the result that his salary
rose in leaps and bounds.
For two years he danced in
England, where he had the un-
usual distinction of giving seven
&C o m m n d" performances for
their Majesties. The Prince of
Wales went to see him % times.

The Theatrical Forld-
New Dance Feature of
M-G-M's Student Tour
by WALTER d. HICKMAN

WEARS ago it was the stage with
i its big revues that set the
fashion in ballroom dances.
Now it is the talking screen and
movie directors who are busy max
ing new dances the high-lights Of
several new screen productions.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer has done
this with Student Tour" their
latest musical movie. The name of
this ballroom dance is The Carlo. -
and it was created by Nacio Herb
Brown and Arthur Freed.
It is the opinion of Chester Hale,
famous for his trained dancing
groups, that The Carlo" is the
most important evolution in dane
ing since the Charleston.
The creators of The Carlo" con-
tend that anybody who can waltz
and fox trot can easily dance it"
as soon as the key steps are learned.
The creators of THE Carlo" de-
scribe the three basic movements to
be learned as follows:
First, holding the partner in
regular ballroom fashion, the man
steps forward left-rignt-left, lead
ing the girl, either with or without
a turn to the left, and the following
two counts are used to change di-
rection.
Second, three steps in any direc-
ton, using the fourth and fifth
beats to hesitate IN the manner Of
the hesitation waltz.
Third, the first three counts are
used to balance in any number of
