Ted Fio-Rito and his famous or

Oracle O. Healthier

There is Oracle Barrie, who
started out as a little, unknown
youngster, and worked her way
up-and as extra act or headliner,
remains the same pleasing per
son. There are the smallest peo'
pie who every played the Earle,
Olive and George BraSno. Some
times they seemed to have the
biggest temperaments on the bill,
but they really are just two highly
excitable but just as warmhearted
little people of rare charm.
Any list of troupers must be
endless. Names flash to mind and
countless others could be recalled
by a glance at the booking sheets:
Peggy Taylor, the most daring
adagio dancer in the world; Nan
Halperin, that grand person; Col
Inns and Peterson, who would have
been court testers in another age;
Patricia Bowman, who belongs in
the list of stars; that other dane.
ing headliner, Mitzi Mayfair; Hal
LeRoy-but I can't begin to tell
you all of them.
Neither would it be fair to write
about real troupers without men
tioning Audrey Sieber, Freddy
Clark and Bert Granoff, three
grand people who lose nothing by
long association, and who are al.
ways willing to cooperate in any
way.
Sometimes you meet a player
who howls at the word benefit, is
too tired to pose for pictures, and
too busy to sign autographs or
meet interviewers. Then show
business and its people may seem
like nothing more than a pain in
the neck. But they are the excep-
tions-the average in any account
ing is always away over on the
other side.
It's not such a bad business
after all, this press agent racket.
I don't know a better way to de-
scribe it than in that trite phrase
that you newspapermen like to
laugh at when it is applied to
your own business "You meet so
many interesting people"

Rogers who is handicapped by
being too handsome, but who fills
the definition of a right guy;
Hugh Herbert, the funniest story
teller anywhere; Leo Carrillo,
Mitzi Green, Joan Blondell, Joe
Penner, Winifred Shaw, Phil
Regan-but the list could go on
and on.
And it is not only the more
famous headliners who are worthy
of top billing in their private
lives. Every bill has its acts who
may not be listed in marquee
lights, and there can be just as
much charm, good nature and per-
sonality among the acrobats, Jug
glers and hooters as among those
who close the show. Sometimes Of
course, there can be just as much,
perhaps more, temperament-but
not often.
For instance, there is Dorothy
Croker, who has a dancing act
of her own nowadays. She is the
good-looking girl who dances on
one leg for four or five minutes,
and who can still smile if you
compare her stunt (Which takes

Praises TrOupers

But actors like these are not in
the tradition of show business.
For it's a grand business and most
of it's people are grand people,
who run out neither on the press
nor the press agents. There are
plenty of troupers behind foot
lightS-and the word includes
much. much more than just
standing in the rays of a baby
spot and telling stories, singing
''Dinah" or impersonating MaC-
rice Chevalier. The number Of
those who make their living IN
the theater instead Of OFF the
theater is legion.
Examples? Well, there is that
good-looking young man who was
born in Arkansas. who grew up
to be a master of ceremonies and
then was rescued by the movies.
His name is Dick Powell and he
is tops.
Dick is the kind of player who
can win an audience as quickly
in person-maybe quicker-than
he can on the screen. He is the
type of actor who remembers the
first names of dramatic editors
and calls them by them. He is OBJ
1iging, appreciative and willing to
cooperate, and those three things
are the answers to press agents
prayer. Whether he is doing a
benefit show at midnight after a
hard day in the theater, or re-
taking a movie scene for the six
tenth time, Richard Ewing Powell
is still regular-and real.
Nor is he in a class by himself
