THE VOICE OF
Broadway
By Louis SoboI
With MERVYN LEROY
(COntinued)
Down Memory Lane

I kept on playing small parts,
kept on worshipping actors like
Roberts and Lytell and actresses
like Marjorie Rambeau. They were
my gods and goddessess. Their
world was the only one that existed.
I saw them as bright and shining
beings and wanted more than any
thing else to be like them, to be
able to shed my own self and be-
come someone else.
The Washington times., 1936-09-16

And so we've stopped worrying
about our hipS-for the moment
and are exercising to tone the
pectoral muscles, which lift the
bust to a naturally lovely line.
Dorothy Nye, in New Bodies
for Old" says that women are
more concerned today about this
measurement than any other por-
ton of the figure. The sagging
breast, she states, is almost al
ways due to lack of muscle tone
and the oversize bust to deposits
of fat. AS the weight normal
ICES and the body functions more
actively, the breasts also tend
to normalize.
The size of the bust is influ-
enced by body weight because
the skin around the bust tends
to accumulate fat. The position
and contour depend on both
weight and muscle tone, since
the breasts are supported by the
p6CJOTal muscles.
To reduce the overly large bust
it is first necessary to regulate
the weight through calorie re-
striction. A general weight re-
duction affects this area. Exer-
else is important to tone the
muscles and counteract the down
ward pull of excess weight.
The pectoral muscles lie under
meath the glands forming the
breasts. When these supporting
muscles lack tone the breasts
naturally sag. Although the pee
toralS originate at the Sternum
bone and the shoulder, they are
inserted in the upper arm, and
exercises which lift the arms
bring these important muscles
vigorously into action. The angle
of pull on these muscles is great
est when the arms are raised to
a horizontal position.
The following exercise Is valu-
able in strengthening the pee
torai muscles and in normalizing
the chest structure:
Position: Stand erect, legs to-
gether, arms extended in front
of body. shoulder level.
Movement: With palms of
hands claSped together, swing the
arms apart in a wide Swoop to
The Washington times., 1936-09-16

describe a horizontal figure eight.
Be sure, in this exercise, to keep
the arms at shoulder level.
Another exercise valuable in
lifting a sagging bust is to de-
scribe large, backward circles,
swinging both arms at the same
time, rhythmically and forcefully.
With today's accent on figures
there are many women who want
to achieve a firm rounded bust
contour through developing exer-
ciseS.
The underweight girls figure
program means building UP her
general health through proper
exercise, good food-including
plenty Of milk-and exercise in
the fresh air. Vitality influences
the functioning of these glands
and the nervous, asthenic under
weight is typically flat-chested
with an underdeveloped bust.
However, thin girls with
rounded shoulders and hollow
chests should practice all posture
exercises in order to strengthen
the muscles Of the entire shoulder
girdle.
The loveliest bust is usually

Hit Jesse for Job

When father died went back
to San Francisco. Down in Holly
wood my cousin was doing pretty
well in the picture business and I
saw no reason why 1 shouldn't
do as well. So I was put on a
train headed South and pretty
soon was there hitting Jesse for
a job.
He put me on second camera
on a picture called Soldiers Of
Fortune" It was my job to carry
the camera and before long I had
callouSeS on both shoulders.
It seemed to me that I was
wasting my time carrying cam
eraS around, so after six months
I resigned from Paramount and
went out to look for work as an
actor.
There wasn't much money COM
ing in those days. To make ends
meet lived with a young fellow
named George O'Brien in a room
ing house on Vine Street and we
cooked our meals and pressed our
own suits.
Now I was determined to direct
pictures and I kept after Miss
Moore and Mccormick to let me
try. Finally Mccormick agreed.
Miss Moore was to be starred in
when Irish Eyes Are Smiling"
He said I could direct it. I didn't.
I was just about to start the
camera turning when Mccormick
and Miss Moore had fight with
First National and the picture
was called off.
I have been directing ever
since. When Warner Bros.
bought out First National I went
with the deal and started making
talking pictures. I didn't know,
at the time, how I would like the
new studio. It didn't take me
long to find out that liked the
place and 1 like the boSS's daugh-
er, Doris. She seemed to like me
ally way O41C AAAelA ACN AAAN 0SAAA W.
went on a trip around the world.
1t was on that trip that l saw
q lot of people sitting around on
the deck Of the Empress Of
Britain" reading a very big book.
There were 400 people on the
boat reading the bOOk-Hervey
Aliens "AnthOny Adverse"
I figured it must be good and
when we got back I made up my
mind to direct picture based on
the book. The studio bought it
and I made it and I knew what it
was to have a really difficult job
on my hands. Five Star Final"

PLAYED Bits at AIcazar

When I couldn't get work at the
Alcazar I went over to Oakland
and played bits at Ye Liberty Play
house. It's still there. though it
isn't very important any more. In
those days it was quite a place and
every week there were good plays
or thought they were good. I
remember particularly "The Bar
rier" and 1.-THE Ninety and Nine"
A boy named Clyde Cooper
changed the course of my life. I
had met him at the Exposition. He
could sing and dance and play the
piano and so could I. Both Of us
had the yearning for far and dis
tant places so we worked out o
vaudeville act and started looking
for engagements. Leroy and
Cooper-two kids and a piano"
we called our act, and before long
we were travelling up and down

SECOND BLAZE
C0VERSPIPES

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. II.
Between 700 and 1880 Sunday
morning a blaze broke out in the
clothing store Of Thomas M.
Jones, jr., at SIT King st. Start
ing in the basement, it burned
through the floor and damaged
some of the fixtures before being
extinguished.
Examination showed that it
started from overheated furnace
pipes in the basement, which had
not been protected by insulation.
Mr.. Jones decided to have them
covered. He asked the city gov
eminent to send an inspector to
tell him what kind of insulation
to use. Up to today the inspector
hadn't come.
Yesterday at exactly the
same hour as Sunday, at the same
spot and from the same cause,
fire broke out again.
Inspector or no inspector, Mr..
Jones will have the pipes covered
before the store burns down.
