theater box Offices hidden behind a
devils mask which was part of his
costume.
Next seasons Triangle produc-
ton, The Tiger Smiles" brought
Stewart out into the open. His
voice had been discovered and he
sang a leading role. Mr.. Stewart
of Princeton was happiest. how
ever, when he won a post as a yell
leader. This added materially to
his allowance, as he no longer had
to buy tickets to athletic contests
Two Momentous Occasions.
Mr.. Stewart was getting along
quite well in the Princeton world
by the time his senior year arrived
bringing with it two momentous
occasions. He was offered the
D'Amato scholarship for his work
in architecture and he met Mar
garet SULLIVAN.
Miss SULLIVAN was brought down
from Falmouth by Joshua Logan
former Triangle Club president
originator of the University Players
at the town on Cape Cod, to appear
as guest star at Princeton's Theater
Intime. Miss Sullivan left her mark
on Mr.. Stewart, impressing him as
young lady actually doing some
thing" in the world.
But the theater was just fun at
school and no place to carve a
career, in Mr.. Stewards mind at this
moment. Architecture was the thing.
Then it wasn't, when he remem-
bered that in that year 1882 his
younger sisters, Mary and Virginia,
were nearing college. He decided to
pass up the scholarship and the
graduate school to return to home
and the hardware business.
A wire from Josh Logan arrived
before Jimmy left Princeton, how
ever. A short time later he was sur
prised to find himself on the stage
at Falmouth dressed as chauffeur,
saying Mrs. Belle Irving is going
to be sore as hell" his total contri-
button to Goodbye Again." His
contribution was enough to influ-
ence Arthur Beckhard, who was pro-
ducing the play on Broadway, and
at the end of that summer season
Mr.. Stewart was surprised again,
this time at finding himself an actor
with Broadway role.
Miss Cowl Was Unhappy.
Principal landmarks in the Stew
art social life during these days in
New York were the regular meet
ings of the Thursday Night Beer
Club. Other charter members in
this organization, which met in a
basement spot in West Fortieth
street, were Burgess Meredith, Hem
ry Fonda, Josh Logan and Myron
Mccormick. Occasionally an un-
known lad came in with his clarinet,
his arrival being the signal for Jim
to toss his accordion in a corner and
listen. Turned out to be chap
named Benny Goodman, also trying
to make his way in the world.
When Goodbye Again" was near

when asked the man what

Betty refused to sign and through
Paramount acquired an agent more
willing to look out for her interests.
Discovery Of Betty took real load
OF Director Sam Woods mind. He
had been searching the uncertain
byways Of the casting bureau six
weeks to find the proper type for
this role. After a five minute talk
with her, Wood turned to a studio
executive and said: I've got her,
even without the test. 1 would stake
my life on it," The test and re-
hearsals proved Wood correct.
Looks Out for the Family.
The day she was assigned to the
role-that of an adolescent deeply
in love with MacMurray-Wood
took Betty into his Office.
Il owe you great deal, Betty"
he told her. II want to do some-
thing for you. Tell me. what I can
do that will make you happier?"
Betty pondered-just a moment.
I'D like to have you make my
11-year -old sister my stand-in,"
she said. And I have a 7-year-old
brother who is a wonderful little
actor. Couldn't you find work for
them both? We can use the
money"
Before the day was over, Betty's
sister had the stand-in job, and
little brother was getting a uart
written into the script for him.
But that wasn't all. Needing
guardianship for the youngsters on
the stage, Paramount brought in
Mother Brewer and treated her to q
$75-a-week job as overseer.

broke up a symphony concert and

I was asked to make a screen test
in New York for Samuel Goldwyn.
The test wasn't a very good one,
but 1t showed me that I could never
hope to appear in pictures unless !
had my teeth Strengthened. So
started wearing gold braces. I wore
them through the final weeks OF
'T1ne Solid South" in which played
opposite Richard Bennett after q
rehearsal till which almost put me
out Of the company before I had
started with 1t.
I made another screen test during
the run of "The Solid South"-a test
for Universal. It was cold day and
the studio was a long way out OF
town. When I faced the camera,

weeks later I was invited" to 60
to Hollywood with a three-month
contract at Universal.
If there had been more sister"
roles on the U. schedule I might
be there yet. The stories told about
my experiences there-and most OF
them were my own doing-were true.
I wasn't met at the station because
as I was told later, mo one got of
the train who looked like an actress u
I couldn't resist turning my back
to the camera because was terrified
by it and before long all the di-
rectors were shooting across nv
shoulders into some other players
face.
At the end of the first year my
Universal option was allowed to
lapse. Mother and I were ready
to go back to New York, but it was
raining-always lucky sign for me
and at her suggestion we waited a
few days to see what good fortune
the rain might bring.
1t brought chance to see George
Arliss who was looking for leading
lady for his next picture, The Man
Who Played God" He liked me.
He asked me how much experience
I had had. I told him, honestly,
three years" It seemed to be
enough to satisfy him. I went to
work for Warner Bros Studio,
where have remained, with a
few short intermissions, ever since.
1t Served Its Purpose.
T worked in many pictures, so
many that can't recall them all
without referring to the studio lists,
but the next real turning point came
when I was borrowed" by RKO to
play the unpleasant role of Mildred
opposite Leslie Howard in "Of
Human Bondage" That, I think,
marked my career for all time.
I didn't attend the preview, at the
directors request. but my family
did. They looked at me peculiarly
when they returned and I under
stood their attitude when I saw
the picture, in second-run theater,
several months lated. My next pic
ture for Warner Bros. Dangerous, "
won me the Academy Award and
my first Oscar" "Of Human
Bondage" had served its purpose.
Recently I worked very had in
Dark Victory" "Juarez," "The Old
Maid" and THE Private Lives of
Elizabeth and Essex" These were
all strenuous roles and needed a
long rest when they were finished.
I spent several months in the East
and came back for "All This, and
Heaven Too" 1t is one of the
most interesting pictures I have
ever had.
1t seems to me that I have been
almost constantly on the move in
Hollywood, going from one rented
house to another and from one
part of Los Angeles to q different
part. I must have lived in IL or
Is different houses. I always had
had a horror Of owning anything
in Hollywood that I couldn't pack
up overnight and take back to
New England. Every time read
advertisements of sales of players
personal belongings, I renewed my
determination to stay mobile. But
I couldn't stick to my theory. I
have bought house near the Los
Angeles River in the San Fernando
Valley into which I moved recently.
It's been long time since
followed my mothers rainy-day
hunch and stayed in Hollywood to
let Mr.. Arliss see me.
All of those years have been
interesting. A few of them have
been exciting. There have been
disappointments and a few heart
breaks. Altogether I've had fun.
