IFI SHOULD GO TO WAR

If should go to war and, hating war,
Take steady aim at some amorphous
thing
That moves across a field Of mud and
mist,
And instantly with one quick trigger
pull,
Make end Of it, shall be transformed
Into hero then and will they say
That / have fought for decent human
rights?
Or shall some kindly mother soul,
reading
In some far place Of what my bullet
did,
Instead of praise, talk to God with
tears;
And having prayed for her beloved
rise
With such look my eyes could never
bear?

years old. After that, it is anybody S
guess.
The awkward age for Baby LIE
Roy was 31a. The plans for a come
back were stynlied by Master lie Roy
himself, whose acting ability fed
with babyhood.
What is the awkward age for mas
culine screen lovers? For Warner
Baxter, it came with I'D Give a
Million" when the spotlight of truth
played dirty trick on his love-mak-
ing with youthful Marjorie Weaver.
And yet Ronald Colman, nearing
the 5O-mark, and trifle older than
Baxter, can rouse the screen passion
of Ellen Drew lin her early 20s, And
we believed it. But I'm wondering
how much longer Colman can keep
it up. I'm afraid the awkward age
for his present type of role will
catch up with him within the next
two years. After that, hope he re-
tires. 1t would make me vaguely un-
happy to see Colman playing father
of-grown-up-family roles.
Mickey Rooney's awkward screen
age will start when Mickey is around
25. He is now 10 (not II, as his studio
wants us to believe). On the screen,
he looks 16 He is little something
over five feet in height and has
stopped growing. This lack of inches
is help to Mickey in his current
roles. But what happens when his
face gives the lie to his portrayals of
adolescent youth? Mr.. Rooney is
looking ahead, too, and tells me he
will become a director with the ar
rival of his awkward age.
Two such strangely assorted film
ties as Kay Francis and Jackie
Cooper have successfully weathered
the hiatus that comes with the awk-
ward age. Kay was too mature to
continue as a young screen heroine,
so, after a little time out to think
the situation over, she. did the best
thing under the circumstances -

forgave all, snapped up her option
and made plans to capitalize inme-
diately on her rich prospects.
Almost at once she was announced
for the star role in Sans pretentious
musical epic, THE Goldwyn Follies." 4"
After that, other studios began
clamoring for her services. During
the last l8 months, she has become
known IN trade circles as the most
popular rental heroine in the COL
ony.
However, the Andrea Leeds of to-
day is a different person from the
one you saw on the screen six
months ago.
Six months ago, Sam told Andrea
she never would amount to much as
topnotch movie name unless she
put on more weight in the right
places. Andrea replied that she felt
good and had received no serious
complaints about her appearance.
Finally, Goldwyn made her a
proposition: At his expense she was
to go away for a two-month vaca-
ton at Del Monte, and there follow
fattening, exercising and fresh-air
prescription supplied by prominent
physician. She agreed
This compulsory training had the
desired results. An added 20 pounds
she's now 120-has remade her
into proportions meeting Goldwyn's
idea of feminine star. She admits
today that she's healthier, sleeps
better and can stand more work.
A survey of the chatter columns
indicates Andrea must possess a
magnetic faculty for attracting men.
They're always swarming around
her. In the last half year, the COL
umnists have recorded she's been
seen in the company of Ken Murray,
Bob Howard. John Howard, Pat Di
Cicco, Barry Brannan and Franchot
Tone-and without mixing her
escorts or getting too serious with
any one of them.
Her one great life romance was
with Jack Dunn, the late English
skater, who was to have portrayed
the life of Rudolph Valentino on

Lon CLANCY, Jr.,
Not Disappointed
At Loss of Role
HOLLYWOOD.

I1oLL "oOO.
No sour grapes in this actors bas-
ket. He tested six weeks for one Of
the plum movie roles of the year
He saw it ready to be served up to
him on a golden platter. And
then, overnight, his hopes of 10
years were dashed because the
studio was able to sign big name"
natural for the role.
The actor-Lon CLANCY, jr. The
picture-"The Hunchback of Notre
Dame" 1899 version.
Disappointed? Not bit. In fact,
young CLANCY, who went immedi-z
ately into the role of Lennie, the
simple-minded "bindle-stiff" in
John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and
Men," says it is probably the luck
lest thing in the world for him and
for his career that Charles Laugh
ton agreed to take the job.
"Of course, it was a solid blow to
my hopes at first" said CLANCY,
"but, now that I've had time to
think it over, realize what a colos-
sal mistake it would have been for
me to attempt the hunchback You
know, it would be asking lot to
try to come up to the performance
of my father"
The late Lon CLANCY, sr., "the
man with the thousand faces
starred in the memorable silent ver-
sion Of "the Hunchback" back in
1928. 1t was generally considered
his greatest triumph.
While he was being tested for the
hunchback role, young CLANCY was
shown the old film.
when I sat in the projection
room and watched my fathers per-
formance," said Lon, "it made me
realize more sharply than ever how
great an actor he was-and what a
tough time anybody will have try
ing 10 live up to the part. Anything
might have done would have been
a pale carbon copy"
But apparently Lon doesn't need
to worry now about the celluloid
attention he's been struggling for
decade to attract. He made a name
for himself in Hollywood stage
production of "Of Mice and Men"
And when Hal Roach got the Hays
office o. K. for filming the Steinbeck
play, he at once signed CLANCY to
transfer his Lennie role to the
screen.
So, for almost five months now,
Lon has been living the role of
hulking Lennie Small-on the stage
and the movie set. He's beginning
to worry about it.
His normal 6-feet-3 stature built
up an added 7 inches through a
stilt device in his shoes, he's cum
bersome. morose figure as he lun-
bers awkwardly around the sets.
Look at mel" he exclaimed,
catching himself making the vague,
moronic gesture that goes with Len
ME. 1--WE done this fellow so long,
I act like him all the time. I take
the same blank, bovine look home
with me at night. I find myself
talking like him. My mental re-
actions are even slowing up-and
that's what really worries me.
"It's the greatest screen chance
I've ever had, but I'll be glad to get
| it over with-if it isn't too late"
he added, in despairing tone.

De waiting for a chance to display
her now widely acclaimed talents as
an emotional actress.
Andrea got on the Goldwyn pay
roll through a strip of film of a
play presented by the senior class
Of the University of California, OF
which she was a member. Goldwyn
put her into his training school
on the lot.
Came time for casting Woman
Chases Man" and Goldwyn saw in
the script spot where he might
try out his promising prospect. He
told Andrea about it and harded
her copy of the script.
Next day, so the story goes, she
returned the script and amazed
Goldwyn by refusing to take the
assignment. The great Sam was
pop-eyed, purple and speechless
when the girl turned on her heel
and stomped out of his office.
Goldwyn recovered sufficiently
next day to issue statement.
I've had stars slam doors in my
face many times" said Sam, but
this is the first time in my career
that an extra has ever walked out
on me-"
If Andrea wasn't in the Goldwyn
doghouse. she was lowering close on
the threshold. Her boss had no
idea what to do with the rebel whose
contract still had four months to 60,
so, when Director Gregory La Cava,
preparing to shoot stage Door" at
R-K-O, sent over an innocent re-
quest to borrow her for a small part
in the picture, Goldwyn readily
acquiesced. He could hire her out at
a profit for that interim.
But Andrea went over to R-K-O
and crossed every one up-including
La Cava himself, who had no ad-
vance hunch she could inject such
tragic power into the comparatively
minor role he had laid out for her.
Her death scene in "Stage Door"
stands today as one of the most
memorable moments the sound
screen has ever projected.
Overnight, Andrea Leeds became
big-shot actress. She returned to
the home Goldwyn lot in the man
ner Of a triumphant queen. Sam

Mr.. Cooper should never suffer an

If all actors and actresses would

Written-there would be no awkward
age in the movies.
Take Shirley Temple in "Susannah
of the Mounties" Shirley is not yet
IL, but is already too old for the
cute-little girl who puts things
right. She must grow up with her
movies in the same way that Deanna
Durbin is growing up with hers.
What is suitable screen fare for a
curly headed moppet of 5, 6 or is
awkward for young lady of near
ly II.
And, by the same reasoning, while
it was all right for Miss Durbin to
ignore the personal romantic angle
in all films to date, it would be
wrong for this policy to continue
now that she is all of 16-or II
whatever it is. Her next film, First
Love-" should carry her across the
dangerous juncture of adolescence
and young womanhood
To go back to Miss Temple, there
is no reason why she should have an
awkward screen age, she is too good
an actress for that. I would suggest
that, in her next film, she be shown
with dash of the everyday quail
ties common to the 10-year old.

NEW YORK.
The reason for anybody wanting
to see freak show is as primitive
as knife in the back. Normal peo-
pie are SNUG and complacent, but
way down deep they're as cruel as
their cave man ancestors. The
healthy lfeguard watching the arm
less man light a cigarette with his
toes, says to himself, There but for
the Grace of God :" and all the
while feels the subconscious thrill of
physical perfection.
Barnum was pretty shrewd man
and is supposed to have originated
the so-called freak show" But the
Idea started long before the cohorts
OF Alexander swept eastward to the
khyber Pass. Since time began, un-
fortunate people with courage and
character have turned their defects
into income. The ancient kings al
ways maintained stats of dwarfs
and midgets who performed, awk-
Wardly aplng the knights and no.
bles, receiving applause and presents
when they pleased and blows and
bullets when their acts grew stale.
Klpllng wrote poem of the bear
that walked like a man" as told by
a native guide whose face had been
torn and mangled by a bear. For
a few pennies the guide would un-
veil that frightful face; for a few
cents more he would replace his
bandages, hiding away that horror.
Today, the world of show business
has changed Down along the mil
lions Of miles of dusty carnival mid
ways have come men and women
who have made science of bringing
pleasure and glamour to folks from
Manhattan to Manitoba AS one of
those people, I have followed fairs
and expositions in this country and
abroad. I have learned that people
today are little different from those
Of distant yesterdays, but we have
grown klndlier and more friendly.
Today, despite the flattery we give
our ego by looking on unhappy peo-
pie, we also pay tribute to courage
and determination. We realize that
the poor armless fellow is man of
strength of character and good old
stick-to-itiveness. For how many of
US, in the same spot, would learn to
make toes do for fingers, legs for
arms? And how many of us would
have the sheer courage to place our
selves on public exhibition for all the
world to see?
