There is no clause in the young
woman's contract which says she can
go back to the stage part of each

her contract with Warmers. One
thing these two have in common,
however, is an agreement to make
one picture each year for Samuel
Goldwyn. The rest of their time and
talents belong to Warner Bros.
Il almost wish I wasn't signed for
five years, said Miss Stevenson. by
that time 1 may have played so
many roles that you all will be sick

Lynn, serious-minded, hard-working

One New York interviewer wrote
that I was a taciturn invader who
was bored to death playing with
Miss Cornell, bored to death with
Hollywood, bored to death with the
theater in all its manifestations. He
further limited that 1 was an migrate
and churl to confess boredom when
1 had been so richly rewarded for
my performances in the theater.
OF course, the man was writing
utter nonsense. He deduced my
boredom from my reluctance to give
direct answers to questions,
answers which could in no possible
fashion interest any one.
It's ridiculous, I think, for an
actor to attempt to give off pontihcal
opinions about questions which he is
in no way qualified to answer. And
who, beyond a few pedants, cares
about an actors technique? The
spectator is interested in what the
actor does on stage and screen, not
in the mechanics of his acting.
Does a man who wants to know the
time of day ponder over the delicate
machinery of his watch? 1 suspect
not. If it keeps time, he's satisfied.
It's no concern of his why it keeps
time, unless he's matchmaker.

stage door for an autograph, over
night become "a glamor boy MY
friends will never let me forget that
shocking label.
AS an alien actor, I suppose
should say something fattering
about the American theater and
American motion pictures. But all
those statements sound so fiat and
trite and copy-bookish 1t was
thrilling, playing with Katharine
Cornell, and exciting working in
"Wuthering Heights" That's what
makes an actors life tonic and envi-
able-playing on the screen one DAY,
on New York stage the next,
London stage the next. I hope my

NEW YORK.
When Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fon-
tame sit down to well-laden table
in Milwaukee, Wis, the night of
October 13 they can say, well, it's
a nice dinner, and it's been a nice IS
years."
For that night will mark the 18th
anniversary Of the day on which
they began starring together. 1t also
will mark the day on which they
stopped being hungry together and
also the day on which Lunt, once he
got few dollars to buy few steaks,
became a cook as we'll as an actor
OF international reputation.
On Ocotber l3, 1924, the New York
Theater Guild just was beginning to
be successful theater group. 1t was
attracting bit of interest, although
the settings of some of its earlier
productions were painted on oil
cloths purloined from the kitchen
tables of Helen Westley's apartment
III IIeeHWlcn village.
But on this October 18th Is years
ago, Lunt and Miss Fontanne first
appeared in the two leading roles of
Ferenc Molnar's THE Guardsman,"
the story of the actor who grows
jealous of his actress wife and uses
his abilities as an actor to imper-
senate a Russian guardSman who is
trying to seduce her. He reveals his
identity just as she agrees to a ro-
mantle rendezvous with him, but he
never is certain If she saw through
his impersonation, or if she wac act
ually willing to be unfaithful to him.
That play brought stardom to
both Lunt and Miss Fontanne. mar
ried them to ane another and started
them on career OF starring together
in many Theater Guild plays, includ-
ing Strange Interlude," The Doc
tors Dilemma" and Caprice"
In the Is years they have appeared
in only one play which critics called
a failure. The play was S. N. Behr-
mans drama, Meteor" but perhaps
the critics called it failure because
it did not have an extended perform
ance with the Lunts. The critics
Judge that 96 performances for a play
on Broadway makes it hit. Me
teor" did 98 performances, but the
critics rule that any play that has
the help of the Lunts must do much
more than the regulation 96 perform
ances to be judged a hit.
When they come out of their Swiss
chalet, which they built mostly by
themselves on Lake Genessee, Wis,
to start touring towards Broadway
the Lunts will start with The Tam
ing of the Shrew' at the University
of Wisconsin's new theater at Madi-
son. Wis, on October 9. Also they
will play the same in WASHINGTON.
Milwaukee and Baltimore. After
that they are coming to Broadway
in new play either by S. N. Behr-
man. who wrote The Second Man"
or Robert E. Sherwood, who wrote
ABE Lincoln in Illinois"
What this 18th anniversary of
their first hit will mark much more
effectively is that it is an era of IS
years in which the Lunts have been
eating well. In their early years
they didn't do so we'll at the ban
quet table. The Lunts and Noel

She was quite pretty and there
was a story that ought to be checked,
so we approached the table as

The waitress arrived and stood
with her order pad poised, ready for
Miss Stevensons selection. That
lady studied the menu carefully
through her glasses.
L think I'll have a chicken liver
sandwich and a pot of tea," she said
and then added quickly, "but first
bring me cup of clam chowder.
We were in hurry and wanted
to get on with the interview. That
meant ordering ham n eggs" in
the briefest possible manner.

Change everything-except the
chowder and the tea. I'll have ham

Then after the waitress had dis

she went on.

is SO round already I'll have to walk
for miles tonight to make up for
this. But ham and eggs shouldn't
be more fattening than chicken
livers, should they?"
We believed they shouldn't be but
probably were. The lady sighed and
went on.
MY face isn't too round for the
stage. It's the camera that makes
it So"
Miss Stevenson is very pretty, and
we decided it is the round face
that makes her so.

Selznick International Pictures. I'm
TO play Max De Winter in the screen
version of "Rebecca."
I've said that I'm fair target for
the question involving preference
for stage or screen. Fair target
may be, but I'm not going to answer
1t. Set me down as suffering from
a split affection. Better yet, say
that I would like to have my own
repertory company on Broadway.
In January, after "Rebecca" is fin
ished, I'm going to turn actor
manager in London. My first play
will be Charles Ill" Some one is
sure to say that England never had
q Charles III. True! Author
Donald Carswell's Charles III" is
that bonny Prince Charley whose
attempts to gain the English crown
and revive the Stuart succession
: were so often and bloodily frustrat-
ed. I'll manage Charles III" and
play the bonny prince as we'll.
That done, I hope to form the
nucleus of an acting company in
London, recruit the rest of my play
ers in New York and set up
repertory company on Broadway.
It's an old ambition of mine, born
of my dislike for playing the same
role night after night. To my way
of thinking, an actor cannot give
fresh and imaginative performance
when forced to repeat the same
Characterization night after night.
The screen places the actor at the
other extreme. He plays the role
once, is finished with it forever.
That isn't so good either. Given
more opportunities to animate a
character, the actor in time would
develop his role into something
better than can be done after few
run-throughs before a camera.
A repertory company seems to
me the solution of these conflicting
evils. Id like to play Hamlet Mon
day night. Romeo on Tuesday say
Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night"
on Wednesday, Macbeth on Thurs
day, Coriolanus on Friday and Rich
ard II on Saturday. That would
be something like it. In such sue
cession of parts, any player would
rejoice, and I'm sure any player
worth his salt, relieved of the mo-
notony of endless repetition, would
give much keener and brighter
characterizations in such a setup.
!. All this is something more than a
dream with me. I've talked it over
with responsible people, both in New
York and Hollywood, and. if all goes
well, Ill launch my company on
Broadway next spring.
