Movie Stock Company.

THE old-fashioned dramatic stock
company, producing scores OF
different plays each year with young
players often given major roles, IS
the best medium for the discovery
and development of new talent, Para
mount is convinced. In fact, it has
such company operating within the
studio itself.
AS the result of recent expert
ment, Paramount directors now are
shopping for talent right IN their
own back yard.
Before its film production, plays
sometimes are given dramatic per-
formance by the studios stock COM
pany under the direction OF Phyllis
Loughton, Paramount's diction coach
The play is presented before execu-
tives ard directors, who select posi-
bilities, give additional screen tests
and then often offer the same role
| in the film that was played in the
drama.
The old-time stock company, Miss
| Loughton points out, served as the
| Nations greatest drama training
school because of the frequency with
which players had to change role'
| and the resultant variety of expert
ence gained in a comparatively short
| time.
Development of motion pictures
however, virtually brought doom fol
stock companies, for the public II
most cities could see more polished
performances on the screen than II
their local stock theater, for the sams
or less money.
The new Paramount stock compan!
Is Paramount's effort to give 1t!
younger players sound dramatic train
ing. Practically all Of the youthful
players on the studios contract LIS
will be given roles in the plays t.
be presented by Miss Loughton.

were living in quarters reminiscent of
Grand Central Station and began to
realize how correct a prophet Sam
Goldwyn was.
I began to realize how true his COM
ment:
THE only way to keep women In
the theater is to be utterly sincere in
your treatment of the story, even If
the staff of scenic artists, gown de-
signers and others on the lot have
nothing to do. Let them sit idle. Keep
the story true to the line and you'll
get the money at the box-ofdce from
the women of the country"
I watched a very impressive and
sad picture the other night. The hero
inc is a woman beSet by series Of
situations which we, in this modern
day, are apt to label "one rotten break
after another" but, even as she tells
| you that the business in which she
is engaged has gone to pot, the friends
of yesteryear deserted, and life gen.
orally narrowed down to the humdrum
of misery, the art director expands
| his efforts with each glimpse of her
until her apartment-shown when her
business has narrowed down to the
patronage of few loyal friends-waS
far more spacious and elegant than it
had been in the early scenes of the
| picture when she was thriving shop
keeper.
Perhaps the idea is to give the audi
ence a mental lift along with the de-
preston of the emotional part of the
story. But it doesn't work. There
was time when Mary Pickford was
rescued from millpondS with every
blonde curl in its place, although her
frock was wringing wet and she had
gone under for the third time with
accompanying close-ups of pathetic
little clutching hands visible above the
swirling waters. But that day is gone.
| At a crucial moment, in a picture
seen a few nights ago, an entire sec
ton of the large audience was thrown
into laughter when an indignant male
voice exclaimed:
Look at that guy; he's worn the
same hat for seven years and you al
ways yelling at me about my hat
bands!"
Sure enough, there was the hero in
a seven-years-later sequence wearing
a very conspicuous high grey hat
with broad, black hatband.
All of the women noticed it and
some of the men. But producers ad-
nit that it's easier to discourage the
women from going to the theater than
it is the men.
And that is something to think
about.

Tell us. What do they want? How
we'd like to know! Just when you
think they want a fashion parade

tell you they can go into the smart

Said one producer: "You think they

But let us have him in q picture that
is worth the trouble. Just seeing a
handsome man isn't enough. We want
entertainment.
Sam Goldwyn tells me that women
are the first to notice lack Of the
human element in a picture. They
are the first to call attention to the
fact that production values have been
too high-have underscored the in
animate with heavy loss to the persons
concerned in the story.
whenever the setting of a story or
the music of a story dwarfS the hu-
man beings in the piece, that picture
is going to be a failure. You can
count on it." said Goldwyn. Women
always catch on to that right away
and call your attention to it in no
uncertain terms.
Women are the toughest part of
the audience. A man will be enter
tained by beautiful girls and couple
of good tunes which can be used again
and again in the picture.
But the women! The women want
pretty women, chic women, interest
ing women They want interesting
men. They've got over just looking for
merely handsome men. And they want
both these men and women in plaus-
ible stories and plausible settings.

studio designer without regard to the

have reminded them right away that

in agony.
IF girl is pretty, man is apt to

Jack (The Alaska Kid) Vardeen surprised the fans recently when he held the much heavier Pastor Cal ope to a draw in a six-round final at Ketchikan. Vardeen is said to have outclassed his opponent in the finer points of the boxing game, as well as in speed and facial beauty.
 The decision was a unanimous one by the judges, and was heartily concurred in by the combatants, making everything satisfactory all the way around.
 The Alaska Kid took the count of nine in the second round, and was rather badly punished in the fifth, but managed to get around that by outstepping the Filipino the rest of the time.
 The bout was one of card of five.

Elks' Star 'holds Paps to Lone Tally and Drives
 Tn Five Scores

The big bat O. Ciaud Erskine anc his great right arm last night sent 1 the Moose down to a to defeat in the fastest and one of the pret- tiest games of the season. The Bills hurler homered in the thirc with two men on and again ir the fifth with one on, accounting for all of the five tallies scored by his team.
 Charlie Warter, Moose pitcher was in almost as good form. Ht held the Elks to five hits in the seven innings and his own corkine drive for the circuit in the sixth gave the Paps their only score. HS made just two mistakes - two groove balls to Erskine. Almost Perfect Game The fielding was almost perfect One error was made by each team Big MacSpadden dropping throw and Henderson, Moose third base man, booting a grounder that took bad hop. Neither did any dam age.
 The Moose made a bid for a score in the first frame. Bill Schmitz famed and was safe at first when Blake dropped the third strike and Big Mac dropped his throw to the bag. He stole second and went to third as J. Orme threw out Brother Fred at first Bill died at third when Grummett famed and Erskine handled War ter's easy roller to first.
 For the Elks Garn walked with two away in the opening frame and died at first when Erskine popped out to Ryan.
 J. Schmitz Doubles
 J. Schmitz doubled to open the second for the Moose and went to third on a wild pitch. He expired there, Henderson flaming, Frasel fouling out to Livingston who made great one-hand catch near the bleachers, and Ryan flaming.
 Jimmy Orme doubled in the Elks half of the second but was forced at third.
 M. MacSpadden opened the third with single and advanced to second on Bill Schmidtz' dupli- cate blow. F. Schmitz rolled al easy one to the mound and Molly was forced at third. Grummeti was thrown out at first by Livings- ton and Bill went to third on the play. He tried to steal home but Erskine was too canny and caught him at the plate.
 | Ersxme, was club broke up tho 0-0 tie in the last of the thirc frame With two away, Jernberl laced screaming single to center Garn walked. Warter mistakenly grooved one waist high and Erskint drove it out of the lot back of Jeff field and all three runners trottee home with the bacon.
 The Bills added two more in the fifth, again with two down. Liv. ingston popped out to M. MacSpad. den.
