HOLLYWOOD. Dec. 27. The good olG agricultual principle of crop diverSification" applied to raovies-is lengthening the life span oi the stars
 They used 10 say that a movie stars average life" was five years, and it was true. Today, it's nearer 10. And more if you count that pre-starring period in every stars life during which the spotlight, and the coin, is almost as bright.
 Clark Gables been prominent, although not always star, nearly seven years. Constance Bennett, not counting her early silent ven ture, has been a star in talkies for eight Ronald Colman made his first hit IA years ago. Claudette Colbert, after two featured years, began to click big in 1892. Gary Cooper was already big in the si- Tents, achieved starring status eight years ago. Carole Lombard, Ginger Rogers, Irene Dunne, Norma Shear CT, Fredric March. Wally Beery, Warner Baxter the majority of today's stars, were stars or at least well known in 1930. Misses I,om- bard, Rogers and Dunne did not hit starring stride until later, but the real movie fans knew them seven years ago.
 That doesn't add up to an aver age of eight years, but most of those mentioned have several years to 20 before they can be considered

 Irene Dunne does a comedy like "The Awful Truth" but pretty soon she'll be in something seriou S again Gables unfortunate appear ance in "ParneI' whets the fan appetite for a tidbit like Sara toga." Gary Cooper does an heroic tour de force in The Plamsman. 2 which contrasts sharply with MT. Deeds" and The Adventures of Marco Polo"
 There's more of the same going on in the teaming business. Sep arating Astaire and Rogers for a time; letting Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy appear opposite other singing sweethearts; spacing the William Powell-M Loy duets--that's diversification In the silents the team of Dorothy Mac kaill and Jack Mulhall was over worked and there isn't any Mul- hall-Mackaill team any more.
 Maybe the producers are more discerning about such matters now adays. Maybe the stars are more insistent on proper vehicles, although stars are notoriously poor as wagon choosers. But more likely it's just the talkies-opening new fields for talent and personality. Or the pub lie, which seems to have a broader view of Hollywood and it's people than it used to have, and doesn't insist on it's favorites sticking in
