During recent months all studios

But Miss Sheridan quickly over
came these obstacles. Finally she
was tested for small part in q
minor picture. When it was COM
pleted studio officials knew they
had something" Rather than ex-
plot her at once for whatever box
office value she had at the moment,
the studio placed her in the indus

that Of portraying hard" charac-
ters. In turn, she was a gun mol,
tenement girl. race track hanger
on, gold digger, parasitical night
club singer, and SO on through the
gamut of underworld types. The
logic behind the training was to
gradually fit her for stardom by
giving her versatility and emo
tional feeling.
Producer Walter Wanger gave her
the same opportunity he had given
Hedy Lamar in "Algiers" and Claire
/ Trevor in "Stagecoach." He saw in
Ann Sheridan a composite of the
Jean Harlow-Clara Bow allure, and
a typical American girlishness, CIV

stardom.
Miss Holman, who can get a
Niagara Of tears into her voice with
the slightest urging, and Webb were
moving in their performances of
the Skelly-Stanwyck roles, and it
was an appropriately sentimental
way to start the summer theatrical
season, a season which will include
many extraordinary events. For
instance:
Ethel Barrymore is ending her
transcontinental tour by playing
"Whiteoaks" through q dozen of
the warm weather theaters. She is
supported by almost all the same
cast she had with her when she
first introduced the 101-year-old
granny Of the "Whiteoaks" Jalna
family on its profitable Broadway
run two seasons ago.

seven years, has done . revival in

Miss Farrell is leading a long
line Of motion picture stars who
annually come back from Holly
wood for summer stage jobs. Their
salaries in the haylofts do not
match or even approach what they
get in the Hollywood sets, but there
is q method in their seeming mad
ness.

from Hollywood at intervals in order
that they won't become typed and
stale. The summer theater is the
quick and easy answer, even If it
doesn't pay much.
What do the straw hat impresarios
pay for salaries? The general aver
age is that star or featured player
will be paid about one-flfth his
Broadway salary or one-tenth his
Hollywood salary. The supporting
cast is paid on an average of $35 to
$50 a week, with room and board
frequently added.
However, many of the summer
theaters cast the small parts with
apprentice players who pay tuition
to act and to learn how to act. This
school system is something that has
become widely prevalent during the
past couple of summers, and is
causing untold anguish to many OF
the Broadway bit players, who have
heretofore depended upon the straw
hat circuit as meal ticket" that
would carry them through until the

This column is not the only one that
is behind in the news.
The daily papers have just dis
covered the pamphlet that is being dis
tributed by the Socialist Labor party,
discussing why the Negro should not
go to war.
Having been in circulation for the
past three weeks, we suppose that
there must be one in every other Ne
gro home in Minneapolis.
Big newsmen however, are contact
ing those whom they think may be in
the know, and want to know what it
is all about.
Twelve million Negroes, mixed with
every kind of blood that may come out
of Europe and Asia, must by virtue OF
F., their heritage have some instructive
leanings.
This means that twelve millions,
may never be able to agree wholly on
the question of world conflict.
1t may be of interest to the gentle
men of the press, that history shows
that in every instance the Agro Amer
ican (Which is the only hyphen ever
forced upon a group of would be
Americans), has chosen what he thinks
is the lesser of two evils and has stood
to man behind the u. S. A.
| The jitters that are having their
} moment in newspaper row, may not be
so much fear of the Negro attitude,
as it may be quail of conscience for
the sins they have done us.
We might suggest as cure for the
fear that may beset them, that they
preach the practice of true American
ism among their middle class brethren,
| whom they may feel do not bear
watching.
The banquet to Maxwell Bohanon
asst Saturday evening, was one of the
most sensible given in Minneapolis in
| | long time.
Not only was Mr.. Bohanon's rise
omewhat colorful, there was an op-
,ortunity for definite gain for both
roups as result.
If one chooses to read between the
mes, he must gather that Bohanon is

BASEBALL MAGNATES BAR
FANS JIMCROM PROTEST
FROM FLOOR

Cincinatti, Ohio, Dec, (CNA)-The
winter meeting of the baseball mag
mates has ended without taking any ac-
ton on the widespread demand to end
the Un-American Jim Crow ban that
keeps out what Manager Bill Nc
Kechmie of the Cincinnati Reds esti-
mates as at least twenty Negro stars
capable to stepping right into the. big
leagues.
The New York State Young Com
munist League petition calling for the
abolition of Jim Crowism in Big
League baseball was presented to
President Ford Erick of the National
League, who received the $4,000 sig
natures collected by the YCL from
New York fans, but avoided the issue
by declaring that a social problem"
was involved for which the big leagues
were not responsible, that he repre-
sented a business" and that he was
therefore mo crusader"
The petitions never reached the
floor, where at least one magnate.
Benswanger of Pittsburgh, had pro-
missed to fight for an end to discrimin-
alton if it came up for discussion.
Many sports writer's, who favor the
lifting of the ban, are wondering just
how good a business man Frick is,
and what he will do next year when
the process of $50 what-the Yanks
will murder 'em anyhow" will hit Ma
tional as well as American League at
tendance to an even greatr extent than
it did this year.
