Only Charles Kennedy as the

enthusiastically cheered when first

with an excellent cast and that the

when first presented-it was given a

Newcomers Flock Again to Broadway
Upturn in Theatrical Production Brings Crowd
OF New Hopefuls, Aspiring to Stardom
BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
Embroidering a sudden upturn In
theatrical production, Broadway is
becoming more and more crowded
today with aspiring young talent.
From the inexpensive and tiny
rooms of the Rehearsal Club to the
more af1uent apartments overlook
ing Central Park, the doors of
Broadway are jammed with fresh
new faces hopeful of stardom. The
competition of movies, radio and
other rival entertainment mediums,
most stage producers agree, has in
creased rather than lessened the
talent supply for the theater.
There is much more young tai
ent coming to the Broadway theater
today than there was in the days
before talking pictures and radio
achieved such prominence" said
Theresa Helburn, executive direc-
tor of the New York Theater Guild.
She had just finished casting the
"a roles in the guild production of
William Saroyan's drama, THE
Time of Your Life"
Seeing and hearing so many
movies and radio programs has CIV
en- the youngsters fresh incentive to
try for career in one of the sew
eral entertainment mediums.
Among the hundreds of new
faces we have interviewed this sea-
son we find that most of the young
sters who are really serious about
their careers come to the Broad
way stage first for experience and
training rather than make the i'm
mediate jump into Hollywood in an
attempt to become overnight gla-
mour girls or Robert Taylors."
Several exciting examples have
happened on Broadway in the past
couple of seasons. Mary Jartin,
unable to win movie recognition,
came on to Broadway and won over
night stardom by singing my
Heart Belongs to Daddy" in the
musical comedy Leave 1t to Me-"
Orson Welles, who was a bit ac-
tor on Broadway five seasons ago,
has thrust himself so high in the
theater that the movies lured him
back to be producer, director, writer
and actor. He is still in his twen-
ties.
The formula of getting aboard the
springboard to stardom. Miss Hell
burn points out, begins with a
thorough preparation and preser-
verence. Take three typical exam

Miss Lombard foregoes her usual

The skirt and blouse are of plain
blue and white striped material,

blouse has high neck of stiff white
material. with a neat white bow in
front. The cap is white starched
