Hollywoodite who would take 4 New
York address again under the right
conditions
Tamiroff, who is very much 4 stu
dent OF everything connected with
the theater except possibly the box OF =
flce, has investigated the effect Of one
kind Of acting upon the other. He
was extremely thorough about it, as a
matter of fact.
Wondering recently if kleig lights
had dissolved the stage artist in him.
whether he had lost his knack for
playing before audiences, he took a
Whirl at part in the Pasadena Com
munity Playhouse. Everything seemed
to be intact, just rs 1t was in the
days before he came out here and
waited nine months for it to dawn
upon film makers that Tamiroff WIS
one of the things for which they had
been waiting
The mere fact that these players,
and others, cannot forget there once
was peculiar glory in hearing ap-
plause for good performance is not
going to mean their return to Broad
way. 1t seems doubtful that many Of
them will even if it suddenly dawns
upon producers in the East that a
lot OF money can be made by getting
the right stars in any kind OF play.
That, OF course, might not be so good
Tor the theater as an art for one sus-
poets that Clark Gable could pack
them in playing Simon Legree in "Un-
Gle Toms Cabin" Not, to be sure,
that Gable would take the role. but
just as tentative specimen of what
might be done.
Players out here generally are too
smart to be caught in any scheme like
that. They know that different stand
ards prevail in other respects than
the weekly pay. Let a performer be-
come Ill, for instance, and the picture
stops. Let the same thing happen on
the stage where the show must 70
on and an understudy may step in
and knock the spots off the perform
ance Of the sick man. When box Of
nee Is the criterion. you don't have
to worry about such things. Where
art Is involved, it is not the same
thing at all
We can report, therefore, that while
many players out here are dying for
a chance to get back to the theater,
they also are well aware that they
might really die if they made it. Some
OF them undoubtedly will return, but
paradise is a hard place to leave.

close by last years fruit, the small
dark conelike fruits, have been a
familiar sight to those going back and

accomplishing during the Winter.
Now they realize the stiffness of the
catkins is gone. They are flexible and
long. The purplish brown scales have
opened and the yellow anthers greet
the warm sunshine. The pistils are
scarlet-tipped, waiting for godmother
wind to blow the fertilizing pollen to

are for. Flowers of the early Spring

A few days later if the weather con-
