HOLLYWOOD, July 24.-HoIly-,
woods army Of Great Unknowns-
the standins for the stars-have
finally found the studio spotlight!
A few years ago, q standin was
rated three degrees lower than an
extra in the Hollywood scale. To
day he frequently approaches the
position held by Q stars under
study In a stage production.
Even the Screen Actors Guild
has recognized the standinS by CIV
ing them q branch Of their own.
True, the scale isn't high, but 1t
does call for q minimum daily
check Of $3.50, or q weekly mini
mum Of $35. Most Of the people
in this field make considerably
more than that, however, and
many have their income from the
studio more than doubled by per-
sonal remuneration from the
stars.
Rehearsal Doubles"
History records few examples Of
Standins making good on their
own. With the new scheme Of
things, however. a new type of
rehearsal double" has appeared
an actor or actress with ability,
personality and a background SUI
ficient to equip him or her for a
broader career.

Baxter and Hall, like many other
standins, frequently play minor
screen roles when their bosses are
mentioning. Jack Morton, who
looks enough like Nelson Eddy to
be his twin-even to an identical
scar on his left temple-recently
turned down an attractive con-
tract from M. g.. M. to stand in
for their singing star, in order to
remain with Catlett.
Not only does young Morton
stand In for Catlett, but he makes
himself extremely valuable to the
star by working with him on radio
material, in handling some Of his
business affairs and by doing much
Of his shopping.

The cloak and sword romance

by Twentieth Century-FoX.
But even with this license the

pace you'd expect Of a story deal

chinationS to keep the status quo

The screen entertainment is
based on Stanley ]. Weyman'S pop
ular novel Of the cardinals political
domination Of France and his per-
secution Of the Husuenots.
The film version stresses the

played with saturnine restraint by

to the tendon charms Of the HUI.

where the hero endangerS his

Lady Marguerite to save her
brother from the kings moose. But
as q whole the picture Is peopled
with glamorouS shadows from an
other age sedately jittering through
the fictionized events with which
the followers Of the Dumas school
Of writing are won't to hide the
true happenings Of history.
Chalk UP Q score, however, for
Romney Brent, q short comedian,
who plays the man-servant of
Veidt. Supplying the comedy, he
keeps the screen sparkling when.
ever he Is on it. I. can imagine
a bully picture made with this
character as the central figure
and with Mr.. Brent cast in the
role.
Sophie Stewart, remarkably like

HOLLYWOOD, July "a. - En-
thusiastic reception by preview
audiences of the new color tint

for a minute it isn't a re-

An actress may be aces
on the stage, but she must
right-about-face in pictures.
It is a new technique en-
tirely. It takes a big per-
son to admit it when it
comes down to a personal
basis, but the fact remains
that any stage actress has
plenty to learn from the
films.
So far my career in Hol-
