The job looked like real cinch. You'd

that of not lifting his feet high enough. And

After THE Big Trail, he plugged along in
run-of-the-mine Westerns for five long years.
He was plenty discouraged. He knew he was
in rut. 1t wasn't 50 much that he couldn't
act as it was that he didn't want to act He
had the Naval Academy on his mind But he
just kept on, with his eyes peeled for good
opening outside pictures.
Then one day Director John Ford came up
with an idea which he sold to Producer
Walter Wanger, who is sucker for ideas. if
they are good ones. How about Western,
Ford suggested. which. instead of being a
bing- -bing hing gallop- -galop- -gallop 'quickie,"
would be given all the deep Characterization,
careful dialogue, painstaking direction and
photography, the authentic atmosphere. of
fine, top-hight picture?
Wanger agreed. Ford had the story. So
they put their heads together over cast
They came up with Claire Trevor, John Wayne
and Thomas Mitchell.
Why they selected Wayne is just as much
mystery to me as it is to you. 1t was probably
because they knew their business Anyway,
it worked. The result was ''Stagecoach,"
which revolutionized Westerns, won two or
three Academy Awards, and skyrocketed the
leading players right to the top. Thomas
Mitchell, whom nobody had noticed before,
became one of the most sought-after character
actors in Hollywood Miss Trevor, after few
more pictures, slipped out of movies for
while to appear on the stage. But John Wayne
stuck to his horse and began perpendicular

That wasn't the best picture l
ever made, and the part wasn't

tries to underact - it's a hard
thing to do. if you try - but be-
cause he can't overact. The trou-
bic with most competent but un-
gifted actors, and that's what
the Duke is, is that they think
they're just wonderful. Wayne
does not. Why, l used to have
the devil of a time with him.
He'd read a script and shake his
