motion picture debut in Rhythm
on the Range" opposite Burns,
came to Hollywood as vaudeville
singer and dancer. She was born
in dressing room and for several
years appeared with her parents,
Reed and Hooper, but left her
parents to go ION her own" when
she was Is years old.
Toured in Big Time
James Burke, Warren Hymer,
and George E, Stone all are from
vaudeville circuits. Burke and his
wife, Elinor Durkin, toured in the
big time in a singing and dialogue
act, although curiouSly Burke has
never sung a song on the screen.
Stone was a singing and dancing
juvenile in vaudeville. He Went
with the Shuberts after vaudeville
collapsed, but came to Hollywood
on a vacation and rest after he
broke leg while dancing, and was
induced to stay here. Hymer
toured with his father, John D.
Hymer, we'll known not only as a
vaudeville player but as a play
wright.
Lucille Gleason'S name was a by
word wherever. there was vaude-
vile house. For years she ap-
peared in sketch with her huS-
band, Jimmie Gleason.
Cast in bit roles are such former
vaudeville stars as Glen BevanS,
who convulsed audiences for 10
years with rural characterizations:
Bobby Barber, once hit as kid
actor and comedian in vaudeville;
Charles Williams, who stepped into
Eddie Cantor'S shoes in kid
Boots" after a long term in vaude'
vile; Irving Bacon and Eddy Wal
ler, and so on down even to the
extra ranks.

RING ACTOR SHORTAGE IS FEVERSHLY SEARCHING FOR TALENT
Film Husbands
Have Talent
OFF Screen

They are the handy husbands
of Hollywood.
Many a male celebrity of the
screen can cook a stew or set
table, as dexterouSly as his better
half. Many leading men can
switch from a torrid love scene to
the torrid oven of the kitchen,
and love it.
Among the talented cooks Regi-
nald Denny is a leader. While
playing Benvolio in Irving G.
Thalberg's Romeo and Juliet"
he staged a dinner for d group Of
men in the cast, entirely cooked
by himself, and including the
curry he learned while acting in
India. He also is famous for bis
mixed grills with cream sauce.
Portly Edward Arnold is another
great cook of the screen colony.
Many a time he has run % the
telephone between scenes to phone
home, cts time to put in the
garlic" or some instruction OF
that kind. He always cooks on
the cooks night out.
Beery as HOusekeeper
Wallace Beery's domesticity was
never known until the advent Of
little Carol Ann Beery. The Gar
gantuan actor waits on the child
hand and foot, planted her little
garden personally, shops for her
clothes, and does quite bit Of
the housekeeping at home, as Rita
Beery, his wife, has not been in
the best of health.
Robert Montgomery can fashion
supper as we'll as any man, and
often does so, when the guests
gather at his home. The MGM
star learned to be an excellent
cook in former days with stock
companies, when he and two other
actors used to bach" and do their
own cooking. Bob doesn't have
to do that now, but continues to
because he sets fun out of it.
Charles Laughton is another
handy man about the house, and
his proud boast is that he can
make beds better than the average
woman, aside from his culinary
prowess. He was in the hotel busi-
ness before he became an actor,
and absorbed these arts while fol.
lowing that calling.
Gable Is Mechanical
Clark Cables chief claim to be.
ing a handy man is his expertnesS
at fixing anything mechanical or
electrical, which happens to get
out of order. He can even put an
alarm clock together and not have
any parts left over.
The Washington times., 1936-08-01

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 1.-The
struggle between art and chivalry
that has been raging in the manly
breast of Gary Cooper these many
weeks came to fortuitouS close
from a commercial standpoint
when the tall actor allowed that
socking a lady in the kiSSer is all
right if done for an artistic pur-
pose.
To a waiting world this victory
for aesthetics meant that the
hearty right cross he plants on the
chin of the lovely Madeleine Car
roll in THE General Died At
Dawn" will remain in the picture
after all!
Gary'S decision was born after
a period of painful CESSATION that
had Paramount executives practi-
cally hanging on the ropes with
suspense.
Never Had Hit One? Tut! Tut!
He had never hit a woman any
thing but lightly before in his act
ing career, and at first he insisted
that merely slapping Miss Carroll
was as far as he would go.
But Scenarist Clifford Odets, o.
year-old Bernard Shaw of the
Bronx" who has a reputation for
preferring his drama in the raw,
held out for the haymaker. SO did
Director Lewis Milestone.
Finally it was agreed that they
would shoot the scene both ways,
leaving the ultimate decision up to
Gary after they had seen the
ruSheS.
The socking version got off to a
bad start. Gary was nervous and
forgot to pull his punch sufficient
ly. The blonde head of his victim
rocked.
Hero Gets Cold Feet
Gary apologized, refused to
make another take. Odets and
Milestone launched their argu-
ments, and as her head cleared,
Miss carroll bravely came to their

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 1.-Authen-

Clark Gable and Joan Crawford.
Director John Stahl has dis.

where the countryside will be

will go to London to photograph
historical buildings.
Art Director Cedric Gibbons will

The Washington times., 1936-08-01

Studios are searching radio
stations, amateur theatricals,
school plays and Little Theater
groups looking for material which
can be placed in training. And
many of the faces brought to
Hollywood will not be seen on
the screen in recognizable fashion
for months.
This player replacement prob
lem was brought about through
the collapse of vaudeville. When
vaudeville collapsed, it sent to
Hollywood a flood of the finest
actors and entertainers in the
country, and today they dominate
the motion picture world.
Products of Vaudeville
For example, Paramount is pro
ducing Rhythm on the Range"
With two exceptions, every actor
in the picture-from the star to
the bit man-are products of
vaudeville. Even the director,
Norman Taurog, comes from
vaudeville. Some may remember
him doing a blackface act with
Ralph Burkhardt, or maybe they
viii remember him with Gus Ed.

the same bill that produced
Eddie Cantor, George Jessel and
Herman Tinberg.
Bing Crosby, the star, is gen,
orally considered to have come to
the screen from radio. But Crosby
was seven years in vaudeville.
Bob Burns was in vaudeville for
years and for some time had his
own act, Burns and West. He
appeared primarily as a blackface
comedian, but he also did other
bits and sketches.

LeitmOtifS"
Mark Years
In Film

HOLLYWOOD; Aug. 1.-Wise
old Richard Wagner originated
the idea in his operas, and now
along comes Hollywood to put it
to new uses. Wagner, who loved
innovations, startled opera-goers
by introducing "leitmotifs" in his
music-a leitmotif being a marked
melodic phrase or short passage
associated with a certain character
or situation.
Well, the producers of ITO Mary
With Love" are using leitmotifS
to identify certain years. The pic
ture is based on a story depicting
life in New York between 1925 and
1895, and it follows the chronology
very closely. For early 1925, the
theme song is II Want To Be
Happy" The latter part Of 1925,
when Jimmy Walker was elected
mayor of New York, is represented
musically by eyes, Sir, That's My
Baby"
"Black Bottom" Was Rage
In 1926, the year Gene Tunney
exploded this myth that Jack
Dempsey could never be beaten,
BLACK Bottom" was the rage. Its
lyrics, by now forgotten, are re-
miniscent of the latest slang OF
that period.
In 1927, when Colonel Lind
bergh made his solo flight to Paris
and returned to a frenzied New
York, me and My Shadow" was
going the rounds.
The songs of the past decade
are not the only authentic repro
duction in "To Mary-With Love"
Also restored to life are actual
scenes from the fight between
Dempsey and Tunney in 1925,
taken at the ringSide in Philadel-
phia, and the reception Broadway
gave Lindbergh on his return IN
1927.
For First Time
Executives on the Twentieth
Century Fox lot, where ITO Mary
With Love" is being filmed, be-
lieve it is the first time that whole
songs have been employed to
Identify particular years.
Charlie Chaplin, in the musical
score he composed for Modern
Times" scattered leitmotifs gen
erously throughout the picture. but
he used them more in the tradl-
ton of Wagner, to associate with
characters and situations rather
than for chronological purposes.

Barrymore's Famed

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. Lionel
Barrymore is sad. He has just
received word that the historic
Arch Street Theater, in his native
Philadelphia is being torn down.
It is closely associated with the

1899; as children, Lionel, star of

 Appeal to State Referee NiCkefsOn

State Referee Leonard Nickersor will study the issues in the appeal of George Lauria of this city from the revocation of his license by the state liquor commission, permission for referring the appeal to Judge Nickerson having been granted by Judge Edwin c. Dickinson in Supe- rior court this morning.
 Laurias case, like a number of others now pending in the state, is based on the alleged unwarranted action of the commission of revok- ing his restaurant permit on the grounds that hot meals were moi served there twice daily.

MURDER RING IS
 FURTHER PROBED

Boston, June ie-(UP)--Investi- gation of Q supposed Western Mas sachusetts wholesale insurance n1ur- der ring turned to this city today following disclosure the ring may have been active throughout thS state. A,ys
 State Insurance Commissioner Francis J. Decelles said he had re- ceived letters from Boston, Fall River and Worcester residents indi- eating ''the racket may be going on In those cities" He disclosed he also had received Q letter from Q man in Ludlow where, authorities believe, the supposed murder Tor profit" ring originated the racket.
 Mysterious deaths of two Ludlow sunail-wage factory workers who re portedly were heavily insured are among three known to be under in- yegtigation. The Ludlow resident said in his letter, according to De- celles, that he was certain someone had drawn insurance on him and asked for an investigation, fearing he might be the next victim" It also was revealed that letter from another Ludlow resident asked foi information regarding insurance records of 6 deceased member of his family. The writer said he be- lieved his deceased kin had been inc sured by four different companies. The letter named the companies. Decelles said he would ask them to furnish the records in question. still another letter, one from a Boston resident, said speculative insurance was being placed on persons here.
