 LOOK AT THE RECORD
 This revelation might have been speeded by a look at MT. Snlith'a record: A Manhattan college dra< matic star, graduated at 20 and url- happy in q lay course urged by ( father who is a New York State Sus preme Court justice, he had crashef Broadway and had played with dis. tinction in two seasons of sl1nnlei stock. The Shuberts surprised him by engaging him in "One for thu Money" He even sang in it. ' Till next season he had the lead in 'STwt for the Show"
 It must be admitted that, follow, ing his Irish cop role, Bob STnitA has progressed mostly by default. H( got the part intended for Richard Carlson in "A Very Obliging Young Lady" because Sam Goldwyn wa4 holding Carlson for retakes on an- other picture and wouldn't let him cut his hair. Smith got Tim Holtl role in "Call Out the Marines" be- cause Jack Holt turned down part 1 nit and that caused Tim to bG withdrawn. But now that studio big-wigs have seen his "obliging" comedy performance, Smith Is na longer a stock boy.

 Hollywood-There is classifica- ton of movie hirelings known as stock boys. In ordinary business parlance, @ stock boy is someone who works among the supplies and ma terials. But picture-making is nc ordinary business. Its stock boys though equally low in the profes- sional scale, technically are actors At least they have stock contracts with six-month options.
 The reason you never hear about stock boys is that, unlike stock girls they never are in demand by the publicity departments for posing in bathing suits or kissing conventions naires or being seen in night clubs
 Of course there have been stock boys who went ahead to well-earned prominence in pictures, just as there have been poor lads who rose to the presidency of the United States. But not many. These actors get roles but the reason they get roles is be- cause an extra must be paid $25 If he says anything. The young man near the edge of the screen during a football picture who yells, Hold 'em, Yalel" is probably a stock boy If 1t were necessary for an atmos- phere fan 10 yell something little more difficult, such as Hold 'em Central College of Osteopathyl" the studio would give the job to a de- pehdabel extra and pay him $25 without a murmur. ..
 EX-STOCK BOY
 Over at RKo, on the set of "Call Out the Marines" have just beer talking to an ex--a very recently-ex- stock boy named Bob Smith. You probably can estimate the esteem with which he was regarded by the fact that his name wasn't changed on arrival, In all Hollywood, the only acting Smiths of any import ance are two or three oldsters such as c. Aubrey. Even Gladys Smith who is not exactly an ingenue, fig ured that she'd do better under the tag of Mary Pickford.
 Bob hung around quite awhile looking on wistfully, until a pic ture came along in which he had a

Nine ballads are interpreted by Miss Mcdonald, who, photographed ill Technicolor in the romantic setting of old England, was never seen to better advantage. Miss Macdonald is the hauntingly beautiful Irish maiden, Moonyean, and her modern counterpart, Kathleen, while Aherne has the role of the faithful, perserv- ing Sir John Carteret, who cherishes the love of his lost sweetheart for half century. Appearing opposite his wife for the first time on the screen, Gene Raymond scores heav- fly in the early sequences of the play as the jealous Jeremy Wayne, and again as the young soldier-lover Kenneth Wayne.
 The love scenes between Miss Macdonald and Raymond are done with delft and convincing touch, carrying the onlooker along without single emotional drop, while the byplay of tragedy, humor and pathos carries conviction and will wiring response from the most cyn- ical. Aherne's characterization of Sir John is one of the screens high lights. His mannerisms as a man of seventy are realistic enough to make the onlooker forget the actors nor- nal dashing self, and his sequences with Miss Macdonald in the early parts of the film unquestionably take their place among the screens most poignant love scenes.
 On the same program is another big hit, the comedy sensation Franks A Million" with William Tracy.

STRAND

Ending this evening at Warmers Strand theater is "the technicolor thriller "Dive Bomber" with Errol Flynn and Fred MacMurray in co- starring leads; also Blonde in So- ciety" with Arthur Lake and Penny Singleton.
 Tomorrow the Strand ushers in another outstanding weekend show with Wild Geese Calling" co-star- ring Henry Fonda and Joan Bennett as the headliner.
 According to the unanimous opin- ion of the critics, the producers have made a superb motion picture from this outstanding novel. Writ ten by Stewart Edward White, the novel was awarded the gold medal of the Commonwealth Club of Cali. fornia as the outstanding novel written by Q resident of the state in l940.
 All the laundering action, drama and romance of the great Northwest have been welded into this exciting film of the two-fisted lumberjack and the dance hal lqueen who to- gether fight the fury of the great primitive country.
 Fonda as the lanly lulnbertacA and Miss Bennett aSl the 0esace hal queen are said to be superb jn tlseii portrayals of the leading roles.
 Excellent in the supporting roles are Warren William, Ona Mursor and Barton MacLare.
 And for your further enjoyment the management will present Broadway Limtied,", a laugh-a' minute hit with Victor McLaglen and Dennis O'Keefe.
 Plan now ot see this great show at the Strand starting tomorrow and remember the Strand still boasts the pick of the big hit pie lures and at the lowest prices In town.

TITLE FOR MUSICAL

The fact that Shooting The Works For Uncle Sam," one of the nine big song and dance numbers in Columbia's "You1l Never Get Rich, is catching on, especially with the boys in army camps, brings to light a story.
 Columbia once thought of titling the musical, which stars Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth, Shoot ing The Works For Uncle Sam" It was found little too unwieldy for theater marquees. At the same time, You'll Never Get Rich" caught on with those who heard tn etitle, so You'll Never Get Rich" it became good musical under any name.
 Cole Porter wrote the music and lyrics of Shooting The Works" as for all other hit numbers in the film.
