ABOUT JANE EYRE"
That erudite patron of the thea
ter, Prof. Elmer Kenyon, Of Car
negie Tech in Pittsburgh, is doing
the preliminary tub humping for
Katharine Hepburn'S Jane Eyre. "
Prof. Kenyon is one of the few
people who is in the theater be-
cause of love for the dramatic arts,
rather than necessity. He deserts
the classroom whenever he be-
comes interested in a particular at
traction, goes on the road and lee
lures on it's merits. The Theatcr
Guild drafts him for this road
work whenever possible.
It is DR.. Kenyon who gives the
history and facts which show that
Jane Eyre" has been amusing
playgoers in various dramatic YER
sions since 1848. Charlotte Bronte
published her novel in october.
1847, and in April, 1848, the first
adaptation took to the lamp foot
lights in Boston.
Maggie Mitchell in the early
7O'S played in a c. w. Tayleure
version of the play called "The
Orphan of Lowood." Laura Keene,
Charlotte Thompson and Clara
Morris were others who assayed
Charlotte Bronte's heroine. The
last big production of the play
was Eugene Blair's in 1897 al
though Producer Charles Blaney
mae a 10, 20, 80 production IN
which he gave audiences o thrill
with a big fire scene.

"storm aOver Patsy" was re-
ceived indifferently in New York
the official opinions ranging from
much ado about nothing to the
verdict that neither the play nor
Patsy was a thoroughbred. This
rather leaves it up to Katharine
Hepburn in "Jane Eyre" and the
Lunts in Idiots Delight" to get
the Theater Guild dividends this
season. Both are doing it nicely.
MAJOR BOWES' GIRL HITS
It looks as though Doris Weston
ia a little bit ashamed Of the fact
that she is the first Major BoWes
amateur to make the grade IN
HOLLYWOOD. For nothing is said
about it in the brief nutshell BIO
graphy which Herb Crooker, War
ner Bros. publicity director rushed
to this desk when I inquired ABOUT
the girl who will have the ingenue
lead with Dick Powell IN "Ine
Singing Marine"
We'll, the facts are that after
she sang one Sunday night on
the Bowes coffee hour, Doris
weston was besieged with offers.
They were so attractive that Major
Bowes' bait of a tour with ms
amateur troupeS held no appeal.
Doris Weston instead took the
contract for the Rainbow Room
in Radio city from which elevated
SPOT she was in a position to look
around and choose the next step
on the career ladder.
The rest of the publicity Sill
houette says:
Doris Weston was born in Chi
cago on September 9, 1917. Her
real name is Doris Wester, and 1t
was changed because it was found
rather difficult to pronounce. She
is of American-SwediSh ancestry
and her father is real estate man.
She was educated in the Pro
fessional Children'S School in New
York City. The same school where
Ruby Keeler, Gene Raymond and
others received their early educa-
ton.
Ever since she can remember, she
has wanted to be an actress. In
school she played leads in French
plays, and the leading role in a
school presentation of Mother
Carey's Chickens" She became in
terested in theatricals through the
late Margaret Ellington (the wife
Of Major Bowes), an old family
friend.
Her career began through the
efforts of her singing teacher,
Nicholas Kempner, who got her
an engagement at the Rainbow
Room, Rockefeller Center. She
remained there for nine weeks
the longest engagement any singer
has had there.
N.B.C. offered her a contract
and she accepted. Has been a
guest star with Rudy Vallee and
on other programs, and then was
given a sustaining program Of her
own.
While at the Rainbow Room
she was offered several chances
to make screen tests. An illness
Of three months held up heI
career, and finally she was tested
by Paramount. Paramount turned
the test down, but Warner Broth
erS saw it next and signed her tc
q contract.
She does what she calls "sone
interpretations" which are more
or less a dramatic reading of the
lyric to music. Has had great
trouble getting the right sort Of
songs until recently, she says. be
