until they are on crutches"
That colorful assay of the Briton
by Miss Browne is so accurate that
its demonstration in actual prac-
tice frequently bars the way to
progress for youth.
The British sing a song which
records that "old soldiers never
die The same is true of the star.
It's long, hard road to stardom-
but once a star, always a star.
There's practically nothing an ar
tist can do to get out of the lime
light once he is in it.
Ambitious beginners often go
abroad in order to get a chance to
show their ability. Many of them
come to America, two notable ex-
amples being George Arliss and
Charlie Chaplin. In the case of
singers, they are lucky to get i'm
portant roles before their voices
are beginning to crack-well,
almost.
This sturdy loyalty slowed down
English motion picture progress at
the outset. Following custom, pro-
ducers clung to names" with the
result that the sweet young bride
might be anything up to middle age
and the dashing hero in his sixties
Naturally the industry finally had
to abandon traditions, if for no
other reason than that foreign au-
diences for the most part demand
youth for youthful parts. The Brit
ish stage, however, in this respect
still moves along the well-beaten
path of its ancestors.
There are several reasons for
Englands loyalty to her stars. One
lies in the Briton's conservatism
and reluctance to change. Just as
he cherishes tradition, so he de-
velops deep-seated affection for
his theatrical artists. He wants to
see familiar faces.
Then again, going to the theater is
real event for most English people
something to be planned for we'll in
advance, like a Christmas dinner
This is due to the comparatively
small income of the average English
man. The theater is a luxury which
he can't afford very often.
So Mr.. and Mrs. John Bull and
their daughter arrive at the play
house in that state of pleasurable ex-
cltement and expectancy which finds
no room for adverse criticism if an
actor happens to be slightly miscast
They see only perfection because
that's what they came to see.
The New York audience is quite
a different proposition. 1t attends so
many shows that it often gets a bit
blase. In the first place the visit
to the theater probably is a casual
affair-an ter-dinner inspiration
which arrives along about the time
the first act is half over. A party
OF that complexion is not calculated
to have much patience with tradi-
ton, or old familiar faces, unless
those faces happen to fill the bill.
There is another very excellent
reason for British loyalty. and, per-
haps, in fairness this should have
been set down first. England never
has ceased through the centuries
to produce super actors and actresses.
Most of these great figures of the

however, they have developed a
substitute. It consists of finding
a new home. furnishing it and
landscaping its exterior. Wedding
after wedding in recent weeks has
been patterned on that same
scenario.

whose record for film atrocities is
as long and undoubtedly more de-
spicable than that of any other of
his tribe
IF an actor is recognized by the
studios as a villain type and the
fans accept him as such, he should
be content to stay that way and
stop squaWking I see where some
of them are shuddering because
their film deeds bring them annoy
