studios, but they-boys as well as girs-think
about it great deal and with that glamour
always before them, unwillingly direct their
energies elsewhere.
But what of those who are already here and
somehow managing to survive by doing
extra work? DO they continue to look for that
vague and ever-elusive thing known as
break?
The answer is yes, positively and absolutely
yes, With the passing years, doubt overtakes
confidence but no matter what, the extra"
especially the feminine of the Species clings
desperately to the last shred of hope.
With regard to reaching the top via the extra
route, McCulloch releases information of the
most discouragng sort. In the history of the bust
ness, only 13 big-name stars have come through
the extra ranks. Among them are Clark Gable,
Gary Cooper, Jean Harlow, Janet Gaynor, Carole
Lombard, Adolphe Menjou and Randolph Scott.
A cross-section of the beliefs, opinions and
aspirations of the extra girls presents an inter-
esting sidelight on the whole Hollywood scene.
One girl, Pauline High working on Seznick
Internationals "A Star Is Born" which is itself
a story of Hollywood and motion pictures, has
been playing in bit parts and as an extra for
more than three years. During that time she
has worked in no less than 100 pictures.
In telling her story, Miss High said she came
to California chiefly to get away from Amarillo,
Texas, and had no thought of entering pictures.
'I had lived in Hollywood almost six years
before I worked in my first picture. I'd heard
of the heartbreaks that went with the business,
SO I resolved to stay completely out of it." she
said.
"One day, though, a friend Of mine convinced
me that the screen was badly in need Of my
talents, which was a bad mistake; but anyway

A lovely brunette, Miss High averred that
her ambition was some day to play exotic"
roles. But don't get me wrong" she continued.
"After three years realize how slender my
chances are to succeed, and tell myself con-
tinually that 1t Is merely method Of making
living. If I looked at it from any other angle
! should probably make myself very unhappy"

A SOLDIER who goes to war stands one
~ chance in ten of being killed or wounded
A young man or woman who comes to Holly
wood stands one chance in 100000 to succeed
in motion pictures
Yet such is the essential optimism of the
human mind that both the soldier and youth
feel they are the ones at whom fortune will
smile the broadest.
In both cases the bright white light of CLAM
our is too binding, too compelling. The soldier
sees nothing but the nice trimmings that go
with a war; the movie-struck boy or girl turns
his or her eyes only to the laughter and the
hoopla-better known as the "tnsef OF Holly
wood.
The facts of the motion picture industry are
hard-and mighty cold. Hollywood has seamy
side-a side which the pretty girl in Joplin
Mo-, and the handsome college lad in Iowa do
not see or do not want to see.
But still they come, singly and in droves. by
rail- bus and automobile, and according to
Campbell McCulloch of Central Casting Bureau
there is really nothing that can be done about
it. They'll scoff at encouragement, dismiss cas-
ually the mention of slow starvation

scouts are nothing 10th to point out the grim
truth that the youngster has $1,000 rivals for

unsure footing.

to attempt to make personal storming of the

for time, but her luck ran out and she has
been reduced to bit and extra work for the
past two or three years. Without being bitter,
Miss May has nevertheless come to full reali-
zation of the essential "toughness" of getting
a break.
Success here requires preparation and train
ing hard work and tough skin. My skyrocket-
ing was very brief, but l am striving again to
make name on the screen. At the present time
I am studying voice and diction, and in the
future hope to obtain singing roles"
Miss Nays advice to the movie-struck is to
stay away from Hollywood. "It is very unwise
for girls with dramatic ideas to come here. II
they must go in the show business the only
place to begin is in New York Contrary to
most persons belief, the first break is far
easier to obtain there than in Hollywood. The
competition is much sitter here-and I say
that from having had experience in both
places"
Youthful Sally West has all the enthusiasm
of the uninitiated She arrived in Hollywood
from New York less than six months ago, and
is working on "A Star Is Born" her second
picture Appearing in dress" scenes, she has
before her eyes constantly Janet Gaynor, star
of the film, whose amazing rise from extra to
star stands as once-in-a- generation piece of
good fortune. 1t is the gamorous story of
career such as this which makes Hollywood the
universal magnet for beauty that it is.
Blonde Miss West however, is not making
her bid wholly unprepared. Two years as
show girl for Ziegfeld, George White and Earl
Carroll have given her certain stage assur-
ance and poise which she believes will prove
invaluable in her fight for Hollywood honors.
In gray-eyed Miriam Marlin is seen another
side of the picture, unusual one. The tinsel
allure of the motion picture business the night
life and the gaiety have no appeal for her. It's

MILK PRICE SLASH
BAN CHALLENGED
Consumers Counsel Holds
Drop in Charge Is
Indicated.

Decision OF the Maryland Virginia
MILK Producers Association not TO
grant a seasonal reduction in Wash
ingtons accent milk price on May
was challenged today by Donald e.
Montgomery, consumers counsel of
the Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration.
Montgomery pointed out that the i
cent price boost agreed TO by the A.
A. A. last Fall was purely an emer-
gency measure because of poor pas
turage and the expense of feed and
that the conditions which necessitated
the increase no longer exist.
Pastures are in excellent condition
now Montgomery declared, because
OF favorable weather. There should be
seasonal reduction in the milk price,
IN view OF the fact that the cost of
production has fallen"
Fall Statement Recalled.
director B. B. Derrick Of the asso-
cation announced yesterday that the
l4-cent price established November
l for a six-month period would be
continued after the expiration date
OF the agreement May /.
Montgomery said Derrick. in asking
Tor the higher price last November.
argued that the Washington pro-
queer must depend heavily on Dur
chased feed-stuffs until at least in
the Spring, when pastures may bring
some relief"
Montgomery said he could not un.
derstand how, at this time of year.
Inc producers can state that in
creased production during the mex.
few months will not justify a lower
price.
The consumers counsel called at
tention to the fact that consumption
OF mud milk in the District fell of
IL per cent following the price In.
crease last Fall. He stressed the point
that local prices are higher than in
comparable cities on the Eastern sea
board.
Spread Greater Here, Too.
The spread between consumer and
producer prices of milk also is greater
IN washington than in other cities :"
Montgomery declared The present
delivered price of milk here lis only
per cent below the 1925-1929 average
while average local retail prices of
all foods are almost 20 per cent below
the figure for those years"
Montgomery said the present de-
hVery price of milk is Is cents in Bal
tlmore and a cent cheaper in Boston,

States puppets and servants" of the
Federal Government.
Although Republicans decided at a
conference last week to support the
bill, Representative Wadsworth, Re
publican, of New York took the floor
to urge its defeat.
In my opinion, it is snare and
delusion 1t can never be enforced.
It will bring establishment to mil
hons" he declared.
Referring to the lynching of two
colored men in Mississippi Tuesday,
the New Yorker said he was shocked
by it and added the belief that the
majority of the well-meaning citizens
OF Mississippi were shocked"
Damage Provision Attacked.
Wadsworth attacked a provision of
the bill that would make counties
liable for damages to victims family.
He said the laws of his State and DOS
sibly many other States made no pro
vision whereby county authorities
could pay damages a Federal court
might impose.
This law would give the Federal
Government the power to hold such
county officers in contempt of court
and tie up the governmental ma
chinery Of the county" he said,
1T would give the Federal Gov
ernment the power to destroy the
county"
J A Kentucky Democrat, Representa-
Tive Creal, followed Wadsworth with
. plea for the bill.
4 He said his State had not had
s4ynching in seven years. He at
stributed this to a drastic State law.

similar laws?" he asked. IF they
did perhaps we would not be debat-
ing this measure now"
