looks much younger than her 80
years, but she says she has no in
terest at all in going back on the
stage, although she has a good back
ground for that.
After attending school at Spring
field, Mass, and Stamford, Conn
she danced in several broadway
musicals and then became a dra-
matte actress with Eva lie Gallienne's &
Civic Repertory Theater Group, q
group which specialized in Ibsen and
other serious plays.
When she was first informed of
her inheritance a year ago she would
only say, when asked what she was
going to do with her unexpected
wealth. Good, hope"
Since then she has continued to
be very much of home girl, living
with her mother and her brother,
the latter being a road secretary
of the Yankees.
Although she was never an avid
baseball fan-she once said that Col.
Rupert never was able to lure her
out to see his Yankees play-she has
taken quite an interest in the club
since she inherited third of its
stock.
She still rarely appears at the sta
dlum to watch the Yankees in ac-
tlon, but she regularly telephones
the Yankee business management to
discuss policies of the club and es-
peclally is she alert to see that the
team is run on an economical basis

Stand>Ins Get
Film Roles
These Days
HOLLYWOOD.

nOAA1 WOOO.
For years tears have been shed
over the hopeless plight of the
stand-in who, although getting
plenty of work, never got a face in
front of the camera. When lights
were arranged, stand-ins stepped
out and stars stepped in for the
scenes. But now the stand-ins are
doing something about it.
First they have formed an organi-
cation, Hollywood Stand-In Players,
Inc, to advance their cause. There
are about 200 members. Secondly,
they have just staged a play, Good
by Again." with stand-ins doing
every role. The leads were done by
Melba Snowden, who has stood in
for Hedy Lamar, and Charles
Schroeder, John Halls stand-in.
They are making other progress,
in plays and pictures. Dick Paxton
stand-in for Mickey Rooney, has
captured the juvenile lead in a Com
munity Players drama and Mickey
is coaching him. Dick, who aided
Mickey in being Edison as boy in
Young Tom Edison" has a mes
senger boy role in Edison, the
Man." with Spencer Tracy.
Film roles between stand-in as
signments are also dropping into the
laps of these folks of late. In "The
Ghost Man." alone, Lou Smith
CLARK Gable) and Matt Gilman
(Wallace Berry have featured roles
and Paul Adams Drank Morgan)
and Elaine Line (Billie Burke) bit

as q child left MIN with q weak
throat. One day he shouted too
loud. Something happened to his
vocal chords. And at II he was left
with almost no voice.
The years he's spent since 1914,
through the Vitagraph. Goldwyn
and Sennett periods, watching films
develop from the unsteady flickers
to beautiful technicolor, have given
him the experience which makes
him today one of the most ver-
satile individuals In the business.
You might expect him, from his
acting days, to have q fair for COM
edy. He has. But there are other
sides. -Four successive pictures, for
example, deal with the four varied
fields of biography, romantic COM
edy, adventure and expose.
The biography Is his soon-to-be-
released Little Old New York." the
story of Steamboat Inventor Robert
Fulton. Two years of careful study
OF that period went into the pro-
duction in keeping with his and
Zanuck's strict rule of unquestioned
authenticity.
Passport to Life" a romantic
comedy; "The Mark of Zorro" an
adventure piece. and Yesterdays
Heroes" college football expose,
are his next three productions.
IT he won't talk about Raymond
Griffith, there's no lack of enthusi-
asm for Linda Darnell, who'll star
In the first two, the latter with Ty-
rome Power. He thinks she has
unlimited possibilities. He's some
thing OF an authority of newcomers,
too. Sonia Henie. for example, is
one OF his proudest pupils.
But Griffith himself takes no
credit.

Refugee Wanted

Loew-Lewin, Inc, the new pro-
ducing company, whose film pro-
ductions will be released by United
Artists, has launched q search
among Europe's refugee Aim stars
for q girl to play the stellar role in
its forthcoming production Of Eliot
SAM" the new novel by Erich Maria
Remarque. No stipulation as to the
actress country Of origin has been
made, the only requisite being the
fact that she must have escaped
from political or religious persecu-
ton.
Negotiations for Luise Rainer to
play the role of Ruth Hollander in
the Remarque story have failed to
materialize.
If we can unearth such q star"
said Loew, I'VE know she could put
into the role a depth Of feeling,
arising from actual experiences, that
no one else could duplicate. If after
a reasonable amount of searching
and testing we fail to find the girl,
we still can obtain for the part one

But that statement is an insight
into its author, the very capable
Raymond Griffith, who's been an
actor, writer, director, adviser ano
producer hereabouts for better than
quarter of century.
Griffith has another notion-that
the people who pay the bills at the
box office don't care what he does, OF
thinks, so long as he makes gooo
pictures. You can talk to Griffith
about his work, but you can't talk tc
him about Griffith.
No matter what he says, by YOU,
standards or mine, Boston born Ray
Griffith probably would be consid-
cred success. The last Treasury
report listed his income for single
year at $4,000. His productions
as assistant to Goth Century-Fox IS
Daryl F. Zanuck, have included
some of the best money-makers in
years.
But he's no greater success (sorry
Mr.. Grifith) now than he was a
dozen years ago. It's just in a diff
ferent field. For he's the same Ray
mond Griffith, if you've forgotten,
whose high comedy-in high hat
and dress suit-made him a top
star during the twenties in rib
ticklers with such intriguing titles
as Fools First" Forty Winks," /"
"Wet Paint" and Hands Up"
Even during those days he had
designs on the other side of Holly
wood. He wrote and directed many
Of his own films. He was graduated
to supervising and then to pro-
ducing. You've seen his touch in
such films as THE House of Roths-
child" "The Mighty Barnum,"
"Clive of India" Cardinal Richie
Ieu," Lies Miserables," Thin Ice"
and "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"
to name few.
But he had no desire to be a pro-
ducer. There's one reason Griffith
could never have continued as an
actor with the advent of talking
