Fox Tryouts
Are Held at
National
BY BILL HOYLE

Gene Ford, of the Fox, put a
score of ambitious rockies through
their PAGES last night at the Ma
tional Theater.
The entertainment beginners
were trying out for places in the
Fox Going Native Revue which
will be staged in August. About
100 showed up to take the test,
which is the first hurdle towards
an ultimate theater booking.
With Manager Ford eagle-eyeing
each addition, the aspirants did
their various bits, with Sidelong
glanceS at his desk in the right
aisle. Then they tripped off stage
to await the call that may, or
may not, make them future AL Jol-
sons, Sophie fuckers, or Pat
Rooneys.
A brief summary of the eve
ning's talent discloses: Joe Bell

appears at the Fox next week.
And last year you'll remember
Evelyn Tyner, now on Loew's time
as "Hazlett and Tyner," and the
"Winsted Trio" last seen with
Benny Davis and his revue.
And the highlights on yester-
days Variety Club luncheon, at
the Willard. Kings for the day
were Harry Hunter, head of Wash
ington branch of Paramount Pic
lures, and Joe Morgan, Washing
ton amusement entrepeneur. This
pair succeeded in holding the first
Variety Club beauty contest, and
three blushing, but happy mem
bers were decorated with plate
sized tin medallions, on red
sashes. First went to George
Crouch, Warmers; second to Bob
Grace, Paramount, and third to j..
Boucher, same company. Need
less to say, many were disappoint-

HOLLYWOOD, July 2.-They
do say that when Mrs. Leslie Car
ter's mother died some years ago,
that celebrated red head dug
about in a few old trunks lying
around in the attic of her ances-
trail Dudley home in the South-es,
and eXcavated a whole Sheaf OF
stock in a defunct company. She

that company but John D. Rookie
Teller Chat, Chick-a-biddieS, was
too long a time for we to be re-

rushed all the way to MeSSrS
Standard Oil who were only too
happy to buy such interesting
stock for such a very handsome
sum that hereafter, they tell me,
Mrs. C. may never again worry

Value of Stock
Steve wired me an offer to join
the National Players ten years
ago. How time flies! I had been
playing with Otto Kruger in 1.-THE
Nervous Wreck" a nice part of
the sheriff, and we were winding
up the tour in Milwaukee. I &C.
cepted the offer, came to Wash
ington, and helped Clifford
Brooke stage the play. Of course
] had my original role.
AS I look back I think I en-
joyed the role more than any
thing I played in Washington
unless it was the part of the
police inspector in 1.-THE Spider"
I got a great kick out of that.
We played it all over the theater
and my part had about 40 sides,
mostly questions and answers.
Let me give this little tip to
those who really want to make
acting a profession. Get some
stock company experience if you
can. It gives one a crack at a
variety of roles and you learn
some new trick with each part.
With good direction you acquire
knowledge of the theater and
each audience teaches you somei,
thing. My three and a half
seasons with the Cochran com.
pany are indexed in my career
file as among the pleasantest
interludes of my life. I love

Again Andy Kelley helps out
with a suggestion: What role in
pictures did I like best? I'll
answer that by saying that almost
every actor prefers the role which
paid off best. I mean by that the
character which won most atten-
ton.

this before Diamond Jim Brady

Life of Riley"
At the moment am reading a
play by George Middleton. You
know the lure of the footlights
never entirely leaves the system.
I would like to do a play if I can
get a Hollywood holiday. Max
Gordon is among those who have
promised to produce a play for
me. All they ask me to do is to
find the right one. That is not
an easy task.
I really love the chance that a

meet and get close to audiences.
