all the stage tricks will give
the youth the trimming Of his
career. If an experienced actor
does such tricks, then he is pro
feSSionally jealous and not a
credit to his profession.
mo one likes a real scene
stealer because he not only hurts
other players but helps ruin a
play, where interest is lost in the
major plot, and also miStreatS the
audience by coaxing them off on
a blind alley.
But picture or play Stealers!
All, that's different. A picture
stealer is someone who is so ideally
suited to his part, who is such a
grand actor and who has such s.
fat part that his role Just natu-
rally stands out. He is a credit
to acting and a benefit to any pic
ture.
you must remember that the
stars of a picture have the whole
show on their shoulders. II they
weren't excellent, the public
wouldn't like the picture at all.
So when you sing the praises Of
a fellow who has carried away a
scene, remember that he shot the
works in a few minutes while the
stars had to keep you entertained
through seven or more reels and
deserve their credit"

and Naomi Stevenson, 18-year-old
twins, made their first appearance
in picture work recently as extras
in R.-K.-O. Radios walking On
Air" and were abruptly advanced
to speaking roles a few hours later,
thereby setting an all-time Holly
wood record for meteoric screen
success.
According to Joseph santley.
director of the picture featuring
Ann Sothern and Gene Raymond,
the amazing thing about the two
girls, and what was responsible
for their joint promotion, is the
fact that they dance alike, sing
alike, have exactly the same speak
ing voices and in every possible
respect appear equally talented.
This, Santley said, Is most I'M
usual. In almost all instances, one
twin will be more talented than
the other even though physically
they are alike as two peas in a pod.

Stenographers

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 12.-Take
heart, you secretaries and Stenog-
rapherS who have screen ambi-
tons!
Kay Francis, the star, said to-
day that time spent in the bust
ness world before launching a
screen career is time well spent!
In fact, the Warner Brothers
star considers it one Of the most
valuable assets she herself brought
to the stage and screen. And from
what she has observed of the
careers Of other stars who have
had business training, she believes
it has aided them.
AN actress needs the habits Of
discipline, poiSe, rigid Subordina-
ton Of personal moods and whimS
which training in the business
world should give her." said Miss
Francis. '"The idea that these
things are incompatible with a
career in the arts or with the So
called artistic temperament is
silly.
"A good secretary learns to sub.
ordinate and control personal
feelings in the interests of her
job, her performance of duties.
If that Subordination and control
are needed in such matters as
meeting ones employers, dealing
with the public in the course Of
business, and carrying on the
work of secretary
Kay speaks with authority as
before she came to the screen she
was employed as secretary by two
large business firms and in one
campaign of a man seeking q
governorShip. She was secretary
to the financial secretaries Of
Mrs. Dwight Morrow and Of Mrs.
w. K. Vanderbilt.

II can show you dozen extras

Gable, Tracy or Cooper" Van
Dyke said. Nobody ever called
Clark a ladies' man. at least not

in the fact that he's mans man,

Clark to smoke a pipe, enjoy hunt
ing, wear old clothes and hate
teas. You expect him to be regular.
Tracy is one of the finest
actors that ever hit Hollywood,
yet he never won a beauty contest.
Like Clark, he's simple, straight
forward and genuine. He's rough
and tumble, with a heart big as
q house, and it shows right
through the screen.
"Cooper is the same type, a man
and not a beauty. So are Fred
MacMurray and Jimmy Stewart.

Of the new crop Of leading men,
but he has talent too, and is a

Van Dyke thinks women are get

the idea of Federal incorporation law,
under which companies engaged in
interstate commerce would be COM
PEELED to register under mandatory

This illustrates the fact that If you
introduce a politician to demand for
reform his invariable solution is to
appoint a policeman and add to the
long list of thou shalt nots." Only
great statesmen have discovered that
freedom based on widely administered
coercion is not freedom at all and
swiftly becomes an intolerable griev-

So it was the original N. r. A.. the
worthy object of which was to increase
employment and build up purchasing
power. This it strove to do by the
paradoxical method of arbitrarily re-

forcement instantly became so COM

of it's own weight, living costs shot up
and prof1teering and technical stag
