ing in the theater requires fan
tastic degree. One Of the biggest
inner struggles Of the young actor,
naturally sensitive. is how far to
carry his persistency.
Il don't like to do it." many OF
them have said to me, but either
I make a terrible nuisance OF my
self or I am forgotten
That is true 1t is also untrue.
There is no rule.
Young actors also puzzle their
heads about the procedure of pre-
senting themselves for job.
Should they be brash or modest?
Where does modesty leave of and
false modesty begin? It's hard to
tell
The simplest method for any actor
is to be himself.
Katharine Hepburn and Helen
Hayes, quite different people, have
both mastered the trick Of being
themselves.
When the young people who later
founded the group theater first be-
gan to hold meetings, Miss Hepburn
attended. She listened while to
the plans for an organization that
would require devotion to rigorous
ideal and the submergence of all
personalities in larger scheme.
Suddenly she stalked out.
That's all right for you" she is
reported to have said, but want
to be a star"
People called her cocky and i'm
pudent then, for she was scarcely
out of Bryn Mawr. But she was
merely being herself, as she was
the first time she came into my
office
She was still an undergraduate
then and an looking child. She
made no attempt at careful groom
ing or humility. But when she
walked into the room it was as if
some one had turned on a dynamo.
l asked her to come back when
she had finished school. 1t wasn't
until THE Philadelphia Story"
however, that the guild found just
the right role for her.
And when she came back she
was still the same because she
has always been the same-honestly
realistic.
Somewhat identical is the problem
of how to dress for an appointment

tain feeling of emptiness when an
actor is wrong.
How many times I have heard an
actor say. How did she know what
I could do with the part? I didn't
have time to really get into it,
What happened, of course. was that
the pit of my stomach had rejected
him Immediately. 1t would never
have been persuaded, no matter how
long he read for me.
All Right, Be Nervous.
Most aspiring young people would
probably be less nervous in con-
ference if they realized two things:
That We automatically discount
nervousness (sone of the oldsters
are nervous, tooD and that little
nervousness is a good thing; it
heightens any personality.
AS for speech, job-hunting in the
theater is no different from any
other kind, which is to say that
either slovenly diction or artificial
diction will wreck the job-hunters
chances Immediately. The right die
ton is the natural diction.
I wonder sometimes if the young
ster in the theater ever stops to
think of the producers and casting
directors as human beings, or
realizes our human limitations? l
wish he would. We must work very
fast. We must carry an impression
of thousands of business details
around in our heads, along with
an impression of thousands OF actors
we have seen.
With that in mind the young
lady looking for part would be
much less indignant when she isn't
able to get an audience with the
producer himself. Girls have often
left my Office convinced that they
had accomplished something re-
markable by talking to me. Actually,
they would have accomplished much
more by making an impression on
some one farther down the line.
So it is still good sense sometimes,
although trite, to start at the bot
tom.
1t is good to remember also that
all of us have a limited number
of shows to cast and can never use
as many young people as We would
like. Sometimes, in fact. think
it would be nice to be Billy Rose
and cast mighty extravanza with
5000 or so of the obviously talented
young people have interviewed. 1t
would give me an abiding salts
faction.
In the meantime, however, I would
like to ask one favor of all young
actresses.
At a certain point in the inter-
view I must always ask them to
take off their hats so 1 can really
see what they look like. And in
evitably, when they comply, they
apologize for the wretched condi-
ton of their hair-no matter how
recently they have been to the
beauty shop.
1t would be a big help if they
would simply take OF their hats and
not say thing. I don't suppose
1t will ever happen, though, and If
1t does III probably faint dead away.

ert Law in the Spewack comedy.
Boy Meets Girl" The play opened
at the Cort Theater and ran 18
months. JoSlyn was one of the two
mad Hollywood script writer's and
pranksters.
This success, in turn. gave him a
j-licy contract for work in the lhov-
les and he appeared in half a dozen
films.
The secret of playing a part like
Robert Law well is in playing 1t
as if you believe in it," Joslyn said.
The authors made him wild or
screwy or idealistic enough for an
actor not to tamper with the char
acter Parts like that are easily
burlesqued. I knew this, so didn't
try to kid it
The same principle guides him in
arsenic and Old Lace" the play
about the two kindly old Brewster
SpinsterS of Brooklyn who humanely
kill 13 lonely old men by giving
them poisoned elderberry wine.
Joslyn has thought a lot about
this play, taking it bit by bit and
as a whole in its relation to the
audience.
IF you study it closely" he said,
you'll observe that everybody in
the play except me appears a little
Whacky."
Joslyn argues that the two maid
en- aunts, for all their charm and
simplicity, are mad, though in a
differing degree from the nephew,
Teddy, who fancies he is President
Theodore Roosevelt and the other
nephew, Jonathan. who has escaped
from a lunatic asylum.
Even the cops seem batty when
you think of it, for they accept
Teddy on his own terms and can
not conceive of any wrongdoing
in the aunts."
The point he makes is that he
alone-his sweetheart excepted
acts Sanely. He has knowledge of
the crimes and he plans the saliva
ton of his aunts and Teddy. The
police and others. being on the
added side, aren't seemingly aware
of the multiple lunacies, their own
included
Even the superintendent of the
asylum to which Teddy is to be
taken doesn't express surprise when
the two aunts voluntarily sign COM
mitment papers so that they can
be near Teddy
JoSlyn feels that his exaggerated
gestures of astonishment, horror
dismay and Illustration make him
appear to be the emotionallv un-
stable one in the midst of all the
commonplaces and that this is the
most persuasive method of playing
the part.
In spite of this success, however,
and that of Boy Meets Girl and
his work in the movies. he would
still prefer to play a fat dramatic
part.
Outside of the theater he likes
tennis and golf and swimming. Like
all actors, he reads-novels, biogra-
phies. scores of plays.
Finally. he hardly ever goes to
the theater. He has no time except
for an occasional peek backstaee
at the burlesuue house next door to
the Fulton. He likes the comedi-
ans.
