Spring Onions, Toe Tickling
Once Helped EN- to Act

HOLLYWOOD, April Gall
the fake acting tricks Of the days
of silent motion pictures have
been discarded by adult actors
with only a few of the subter
fuges still in active use in making
small children register the proper
emotions for scenes.
This was revealed by Jack
Holt, a star of silent films anc
the star of Columbia's new
drama, Jim Burke's Boy ir
which he started his tWenty-firSt
year on the screen.
Holt has seen some Of the mos
ridiculous stunts employed by the
untalented but beautiful players
of the past so that they coulc
simulate real acting.
"There was an actress who
played opposite me some years
ago who was so bad she
couldn't register hunger after
fasting for two weeks" Holt
recalled. II remember one
scene she had to do in which
she was supposed to smile
through her tears. She could
neither bring up spontaneous
smile nor cause tears to flow.
She was in a serious pre-
dicament.
"Sudden1y she took of her
slippers and called for an
onion which she cut into pieces
and placed in q handkerchief.
She held this beneath her face
and that brought tears. Then
she ordered the property man
to tickle the sOles Of her feet
with q whiSk broom and thus
was able to smile. 1t looked
very real and pathetic on the
screen.
Then there was an actOr-I
remember the scene quite well.
He was supposed to be madly in
love with the wife who had left
him. He was supposed to show
all the pain and hurt that a
man would in such q situation
but this actor couldn't show
anything except a dead pan.
Yet he gave a very realistic per-
Torrance in a closeup by hav-
ing his valet twist his leg until
it hurt.
zone director for whom I
worked had several important
scenes to make in which his
players were supposed to be
angry. He knew they weren't
capable of acting so he annoyed
and criticised them all during
production until they hated him,
and when they came to the
scene he just stood in their line
Of vision and they did their
anger scenes to perfection.

Here's theWhy
of Stars

HOLLYWOOD, April 6 u.N.s0.
Why is a screen star?
Hollywood has offered many
theories, but Fred Datig, veteran
Paramount casting director, today
presented a very simple one.
Players become stars, he said,
because they resemble typical
characters in everyday life.
Two very obvious cases, the
film official declared, are George
Raft, whom he classes as a typi-
cal New York night club habitue,
and Carole Lombard, who is
everyone's idea of a sophisticated
lady.
According to Datig, here is the
result of the same analysis ap-
piled to various Paramount play
erS.
Bing Crosby: Rising young doc
tor or professional man: Mae
West, night-club hostess; Gail
Patrick and Gertrude Michael:
Bellies Of the South; Claudette
Colbert: The girl to whom you'd
offer candy, perfume and orchids;
Marlene Dietrich: The visiting
princess or the eager young wife;
w. C. Fields: Many Dickens char,
acters, or Foxy Grandpa; Gary
Cooper: The cowboy come to
town; Herbert Marshall: Man
about-town; Mary Boland: The
wellto-do matron; Charles Rug
giles: The grouchy grandpop and
Sylvia Sidney: The demure girl
lust out of finishing school.
The hard thing, Datig admitted,
is to take untried players and to
figure out, in advance, whether
they personify any universal type.

Marx Boys Are
Bridge Nuts

HOLLYWOOD, April 6.-Did
you hear that the Marx brothers
are carrying a bridge champion
on their personal appearance
tour? It's true. His name is
Lee Langdon and he once teamed
with Jacoby, to defeat the Cul-
bertSonS.
Bridge is the one subject that
the Marxes are serious about,
especially Chico, who is a crack
player.
The idea is for Langdon and
Chico to stage a series of bridge
tournaments in the towns where
they play. Chico has never for
given CulbertSon for refusing to
meet him when the bridge ace
was in Hollywood making
pictures.

that particular era. Many d.
rectors obtained this emotion
by firing off gun Unexpectedly.
To-day a few of these tricks
are employed on child and ami
NAL actors. But we do not use
any of the tricks that mean
pain. We hold up bones for
dogs to look at and toys for
children. We take toys away
from children and they cry.

Loneliness Of a youth far from

the photograph Of a society
girl brought George C. Bard,
%, former Boston University
business school student, and
son of a Reading, Pa, hard
ware merchant, into the grasp

display window of a Back Bay

At police headquarters Mr..
Bard was quoted by authorities
as saying he took the picture
because he had admired it a
