RATS KICK
HELPS NOLAN
Didn't Like Part So It's
Given to Actor Waiting
for His Chance
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN
u. p. Hollywood Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 1S. (UP).
When George Raft climbed on
his high horse last week and told
Paramount it wasn't doing right
by him, he never realized what a
tremendous favor he was doing Il
fellow actor named Lloyd Nolan.
Raft said his part in the pic
ture, "St. Louis Blues" wasn't
good enough for his talents. In
stead of saying, "Yes, Mr.. Raft"
the studio suspended him without
pay-and gave the job to the
amazed Nolan.
For four years Nolan has been
kicking around Hollywood, wait
ing for his chance. He has played
supporting roles in big-time pic
lures and he has been the star of
small-time "B's," but he never
has had a chance at being head
in an important production.
He went to work Wednesday,
digging a Mississippi steamboat
out of a sand bar inside stage
eight-and between shovelsful of
mud he told of a Hollywood ca
reer that depended upon the whim
of a man he hardly knew.
Nolan flunked out of Sanford
University at the end of his first
year. He worked his way around
the world as sailor and distin-
guished himself by running
tramp steamer of the rocks at
Marseilles. When the boat docked
at New York, it burned.
Nolan went back to school, be-
came interested in drama and got
a job as a stage hand in the Den
nj Summer theater on Cape Cod,
Mass. Bette Davis was an un-
sherette in the same house. After
a few months of this Nolan turn
ed actor, playing in stock, musi-
Gals and whatnot until finally he
got the Job as star of Zone Sun
day Afternoon" which ran 43
weeks on Broadway.
Soon thereafter Paramount
hired him as a movie actor.
"They gave me six months
contract and then they left me
hanging around with nothing to
do" he said.
Then the studio fired him. No
Ian got another job at Columbia
pictures, around the corner, and
Paramount Immediately borrowed
him to play the villain in "Stolen
Harmony" Thereafter Nolan took
minor roles in studios all over
town. Two years ago Paramount
resigned him to contract and
has kept him busy ever since.
But | never did get major
assignment" he said. in fact
a year ago, Raft almost walked
out on a picture called Souls at
Sea- and l was slated to do the
role. Then Raft changed his mind
and | went back to playing heav-
les.
"Now Pm in this picture and
all | can say is Pm mighty for
tunate guy"
The set of "St. Louis Blues"
was the kind that knocks your eye
out. 1t even smelled good.
The property department had
built upon the hardwood stage
one half of a Mississippi stern
wheeler. Then it erected sand
bank in front of the prov and
when we arrived was engaged in
manufacturing mud with the help
of a garden hose and big pile of
dirt.
Some real magnolia trees pro-
vided the elegant smell.
Plot of the picture was Nolan
running a showboat which goes
aground on the front lawn of
Mississippi plantation. One of the
guests there turns out to be Miss
Dorothy Lamour, famous movie
actress, who has quit Hollywood
because she is tired of wearing a
sarong. She joins the shOwboat
and the plot goes on from there.

James said the 600 miles OF
new road that would have to be
built would not be an exceedingly
difficult task.
eff roads can be built through
the mountains of Mexico for 1875
miles, or if they can be built thru
Yucatan, and while the incredu-
lous are still calling this road a
