HOLLYWOOD
FILM SHOP
BY ALEXANDER KAHN
United Press Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD. (UP). - The
pioneer days of motion pictures
have passed and with them has
gone the overnight blossoming OF
a pretty face or pleasing person
atty into immediate stardom. Inc
growth of the film industry also
has brought an end to the golden
era of the extra line.
Now it is rare when an extra
is given a chance, even Tor a Dlt
role. Yet in the old days, the
ranks of the supernumeraries
provided Hollywood with some OF
it's biggest stars.
It's not that producers have
anything against extras, but the
cost of developing an unknown
player into a featured performer
or star is so great that the studio
would rather take established
names from the stage or radio:
But in the days of "qulckie
productions" when a super-super
picture took a week to shoot, all
the stars were graduates of extra
ranks.
Harold Lloyd was an extra. So
were Carole Lombard, Janet Gay
nor, Norma Shearer, Joel Nc
Crane, Frances Dee and Jean
HershOh.
One of the latest stars to rise
from extra ranks in Sylvia Sid
ney, now co-starred with George
Raft in "You and Me-" Only a
few wears ago she was doing ex-
ira work in New York, but turned
to the stage for her first success.
u And probably the latest extra
TO hit the big-time trail which
eventually may lead to stardom
is Sheila Darcy, recently boosted
by Producer Frank Lloyd in
wells Fargo" because she re-
sembled the famous California ac-
tress, Lola Montez. She has been
assigned a good role in the forth.
coming Spawn of the North" If
her work is satisfactory she may
get better parts as time goes on.
Among stars of former days
who once were in the extra line
were John Gilbert, Lon CLANCY,
Norma Talmadge, Ethel Clayton
and Rudolph Valentino.
Actors and actresses are not
the only ones who were gradu-
ated from cxtradom. Among d.
rectors who came from the same
school of experience are. Ernst
Lubitsch, Henry Hathaway, Hal
Roach, Wesley Ruggles, Alexan.
der Hail., Edward Sutherland and
James Hogan.
But now producers tell novicies
to start on the stage, whether
they want to be actors, directors
orSieyen writer's.
