He did so we'll that he was offered a job at neighbor- hood tleater taking tickets and do- ing bit roles.

Glimpses Of Stage Folk

THE talent that brought Jack Benny
into show business has now be-
come merely his most famous gag.
We speak Of M. Benny's gifts as q
virtuoso Of the violin, ere he had in
all his life dropped dron wisecrack
or made a funny face, the Benny fid-
died while hooters, Hamlets and
comics burned-the stage of q tiny
theater in waukegan, Ill, his home
town.
When the show shop closed "on ac-
count Of molasses," as Mr.. w. c.
Fields has it, Benny scurried around
and found himself a pianist, evolved
q few tricks to give the boys a laugh
whilst he fiddled, and launched upon
q vaudeville career.
His musical act was his meal ticket
until after the war, when he relegated
the violin to the prop class, took up
the fine art Of being a comic. Benny's
technique as a comedian includes no
Cantorish eye-rolling and hopping
about. He does not giggle like Wynne
or gurgle a la Penner. He puts his
gags over straight, depending on in
Election and timing to point them.
For that reason he has become, In the
last three years, one Of the most popu-
lar Of radio funmakers, especially
with audiences inclined to become
quickly bored upon hearing the same
weird noises plugged over and over
again as il they were endlessly funny.
Benny's forte is the wisecrack. He
has been at it so long his habitual
reaction to anything whatsoever is a
blurb. About so per cent of these are
fair. He Is walking around backstage
at the Earle (where he now appears
as a vaudeville headliner) when an
unbathed dog wanders by. He reaches
down, pets the pooch and says, IT bet

Bataille, as you know, was one Of

Britain has marvelously increased its
prestige in the cinema by such pro-
ductions as Henry VIII," "Catharine
the Great" and The Scarlet Pimper-
nell" But in Hollywood competition is
keener than elsewhere. Sooner or
later, actresses and actors from every
part of the globe come here for tests.
Often the results are tragic, for per-
sonality that may appeal to one nation
may not have the slightest attraction
In another, and Hollywood judges by
Its own standards.
One must, as you say, "click" ac-
cording to American tastes. That in
itself will assure following in many
countries and ample financial rewards.

Travel Declared Essential.
That is why I regard travel as alb
solutely essential to an actor or actress.
Travel and thorough training in the
art OF acting would greatly reduce the
large annual percentage of Hollywood
heartbreakS. Luck counts in getting
ones start, to be sure, but in the long
run it does not have much weight.
So I left the United States last
Summer just after having completed
"One Night Of Love-" though some of
my best friends begged me not to 60
abroad.
However, I felt that if Hollywood
liked Carminati as Monteverdi the
chances were that Hollywood would
continue to offer me equally interest
ing roles. did not think that a few
months away would make any differ
ence. Producers do not hesitate to
telephone London-or even Rome-to
get what they want; (as a matter of
fact, had two calls from Hollywood
while was in Italy)-and I was
anxious to see flrst-hand, the strides
motion pictures had made in my
native land. Naturally, I was inter-
ested, for during silent days, in a
modest way, I had produced and di-
rected my own pictures there.
