NEW YORK.
Muriel Angelus is a petite, stream
lined blond who, since she was u
years old, has constantly been start
ing for some definite destination.
And invariably she went, as she is
doing again today, to some place
else that proved more fortunate for
her career.
II lost the first job I ever went
after and then got a better one be-
cause did lose the first one," she
relates. when I was IL years old,
having studied ballet, I went for
a job in London musical show.
After being turned down I was
walking along with tears in my
eyes. A man bumped into me and
knocked my dancing slippers out of
my arms. Saying almost nothing
he led me to another theater where
Fokine, the Russian ballet master,
cast me in his production of "A
Midsummer Nights Dream
Cured Of Stage Fright.
"Once when I was playing in Lon
don was signed to make silent
picture in Berlin although I didn't
speak word of German. I wasn't
perturbed about that because I
knew some of the German stars in
the same picture spoke English.
But, when I arrived in Berlin I was
transferred to another picture on
the set of which there wasn't
single person who spoke English.
I had to take my direction by pam
tomime and improvise my own per-
formance. It won me critical praise
and also cured me of stage fright"
Returning to this country, she
went to Vinton Freedley, Broadway
musical show producer. Freedley
had heard about her performance in
the London stage production of
"Balalaika" So he cabled her to
sail for Broadway. On arriving
here she found that Freedley had
postponed his show Indefinitely. She
went job hunting while awaiting a
ship back to London.
Then Came Hollywood.
Fortunately they were just cast
ing the musical The Boys From
Syracuse" and I was given . part
in that hit" she said. That's where

Harry Carey
Is sLured by
Straw Hats
By Marx Barron,
Associated Press Stan Writer,
NEIXy vNpn

NEW YORK.
Hollywood movie stars, having
that yearning to play before flesh
and-blood audiences, are f1ocking
with enthusiasm back to Broadway
and its kindred rural theaters this
summer.
Amid so much blond glamour that
surrounds these holidaying stars
there arrives occasionally a down.
to-earth actor, like Harry Carey Cor
Walter Brennan), who leaves an as
sured career in Hollywood Just to
learn if he can captivate an audi
ence as we'll across the footlights as
in the movies.
Carey, the cowboy star of so many
Western pictures, who achieved star
character acting with his portrayal
of the Vice President of the United
States in "Mr. Smith Goes to WASH
ington," already has one play set.
On July 8 he will play "Ah, wilder
ness with his son Steven in the
Summer Theater at Skowhegan. Me.
After that he will start rehearsals
on a new play which he will bring
to Broadway in the fall.
A Home Town Boy.
Despite his association with West
ern cowboy pictures, Carey will re-
turn to Broadway as typical home
town boy. His father was one of
the Tammany chiefs in the old davs.
and AL Smith was one of his aides.
"One of the things I remember
about living in New York City as a
kid" Carey said, was that our
house was uptown in Manhattan in
what was then a rural district. I
remember there was much excite
ment and trouble up in that neigh.
borhood at the time because a col
ony of nudists had moved in there.
That was in 1890, and in that year
a colony of nudists was as revolu-
tionary as the invasion of q foreign
army would be today"
Also an Easterner.
But, Carey explained, he has been
wooed from his native New York.
After appearing in few Broadway
plays, he is going West again to live
on his New Mexico ranch.
Brennan, who has only recently
finished his portrayal of Judge Roy
Bean in the Samuel Goldwyn pro-
duction Of "The Westerner," Is an
other native son of the East who
came back from Hollywood to do
summer drama. His performance of
Bean, the Law West OF the Pecos"
killer, who was in love with Lily
Langtry, the Jersey Lily, actress Of
the mauve decade, caused him to be
summoned back to the studio, how
ever, before he could do the play he
wanted to.
Wanted Fried CLANS.
Brennan and his wife-who left
their Massachusetts, home and went
West in the first place because they
thought their parents would dis
approve OF their marriage-came
back to their old home near Boston
for two reasons.
"Frst, wanted to do play"
Brennan said, "and then I wanted

studio. AS it happened, he was
speaking to Bette Davis, his co-star,
who had just come on to the set and
who was standing behind us.
1t was close call. We were all
set to wave back to him and perhaps
call him "Chuck" when Bette made
her presence known.
In any event we never could
understand the strange power over
women this actor Boyer seems to
have. Never doubt he has it. Even
the script clerk, the one person on a
motion picture set who is ordinarily
immune to actors allure, shivered
visibly when Mr.. Boyer turned his
big brown eyes in her dirtetion.
Bette Didn't Sigh
Charles Boyer can't be assgood as
he looks on the screen. Tb.re ought
to be a law against HIM. When
visitors would come to the "All This
and Heaven Too" set at Warmers,
the feminine members of the groups
would sigh so audibly that Director

Anatole Litvak would have to order
the set cleared. If all the sighs that
are sighed annually over Mr.. Boyer
were assembled in one place there
would be great wind coming out
of Hollywood.
Whether or not Bette Davis
shared this tremendous interest in
Mr.. Boyer is question Certainly
there were times in the filming when
she looked as though she did. Only
Bette didn't sigh. She was too busy
taking care of Mr.. Boyer's four
screen children to waste time sigh
ing.
1t became sort of game on the
set of "All This, and Heaven Too
to figure out all the reasons why Mr..
Boyer has so much appeal for
women. Admitting he is handsome,
full Of continental charm, has the
manners of a Georgian prince and
by now must be we'll heeled finan-
cially, there still seems to be no real

Metropolitan Home Building Tops Year Ago

s5,003,340 and 1892 family units in
May this year and $4,596,8l5 and
1,029 units in June, 1885,
For the first half of this year
residential building in the area was
valued at $27,376.214, down 3.6 per
cent from $28,407, ,251 in the same
1889 period.
Per Unit Value Lower.
The number of family units for
the six months totaled 6,742, down
only eight-tenths of per cent from
6,796 units in the same period last
year.
Difference in the two percentages
indicates larger proportion of low
cost housing or apartments with a
lower per unit value.
1t appears that real estate lead
ers, who hoped for some slackening
in home building after the record
breaking pace of 1899, have been
disappointed. However. they may
have revised their views in the light
of new population gains and the
continued advance of other market
indicators.
The fact remains that since the
start of 1885, public and private
construction in the area has reached
the amazing total of $447,234,46 of
which $236.737,5l9 represents resi-
dental building providing accom-
modations for 1884 families.
Grand Total Down.
Total public and private construc-
ton in the Metropolitan Area dur
ing June was below the previous
month and far behind year ago,
as result of a sharp decline in
non-residential building.
The grand total slipped to $8,4O1, :
1874 against $685. OIL in the preced-
ing month, and $23.435,312 in June,
1889 1t also was behind the same
month in 1885, 1886 and 1898.

private construction was valued at
$50, 0,180.7 1913 against SCI 989 ,0s3 in the
