a contract paying her $500 a week
that has expanded to $1,000 Now,
that's lot Of money to pay young
girl, but it is wasted unless she is
given roles to match it. AS you
may know. Patricia refused to ap-
/ pear with Gene Autry and his horse
in an eight-day quickie. preferring
an eight-week suspension that
would have cost her $4,000. But her
bosses relented-or were hard up
for a feminine player-and she is
now working in a couple of good
! films that should enhance her repu-
tation and help to make her ready
to take over for the older actresses
when time taps them on the shoul-
der and says, Your day is over"
Plays the Same Role.
Ann Rutherford Is another young
ster whose promise has not been
allowed to develop. But with Ann,
it's because she has been forced to
repeat the same role over and over
again. She is a younger or older
edition of Polly Benedict" in every
| one of her films. And while it was
good enough the first time to result
in a long-term contract, she ought
to get something more adult as
training for the near-future va
cancies in feminine ranks.
Bonita Granville would be a star
of tomorrow-if they gave her the
right roles now. But she is cur
rently playing bit in Kildare
film. And Laraine DAY.
don't think Laraine ought to con-
tinue as the nurse in the Kildare
series. Any one can play that
nurse-as long as she is pretty,
and pretty girls in Hollywood come
by the hundred. Laraine ought to
continue biting her teeth on fllms
of the my Son, My Son" and
Foreign Correspondent" caliber.
Too Much Attention.
| The same Studio-Metro-lS show
ing more good sense with regard
| to Kathryn Grayson, the cute little
actress of Andy Hardy's Private
Secretary She waited two years
for that one And will wait as
long for the neXt-unless something
comes along sooner that will serve
as an adequate showcase for her
| talents.
AS bad as too little opportunity
is too much attention for young
actresses who are not ready for
it-in the mistaken belief that big
pictures will confuse audiences into
accepting them as grade A stars.
There's Lana Turner, who gets a
tremendously important role in
"Ziegfeld Girl" in which she has
to run the gamut of emoting. Will
the part be too big for her? In
recent pictures Lana has not i'm
pressed me as a powerful dramatic
actress, and if I had been casting
her I would have given her some
thing easier. But she may come
through, and i she does Metros
reward will be new proflt-bringing
property.
Among the young stars of 1916
we can be sure of finding Deanna
Durbin, Judy Garland. Betty Field,
Joan Fontaine, Olivia De Havilland
and Ida Lupino. All have bridged
the uncertain gap between promise
and performance. But of the other
young players OF today wonder
which, if any, will be more than
memory in five years time. And
in that case what will happen when
all the againg stars retire?

roll, Anna Neagle, Joan CraW1OIO
and. in a lesser degree, Paulette
Goddard, Bette Davis and Carole
Lombard. are beginning to look a bit
tired on the screen. I doubt whether
any of these ladies. including the
most optimistic. will be making
screen love in 1916. They will either
be on the retired list or playing
character roles.
The question arises: Who are to
take their places? And this is where
Hollywood producers are now being
short-sighted. Except in few cases,
nothing is being done to develop fu-
ture Crawfords, Logs, Stanwycks,
Colberts. etc.
At one time each studio had a
stock company where the young OF
the screen-acting species were
taught their PAGES. But the recent
economy wave rooted out this
healthy branch Of the industry. For
a young actress to get an appor-
tunity in pictures now, and more i'm
portant, to hold the ground gained,
she must be unbelievably lucky or
have such obvious and instan1ane-
GUS appeal that she is given tka op-
portunities that will send her to the
top.
There are quite few promising
young actresses in Hollywood, but
the treatment they receive is not
conducive to star-building. Take the
case Of Ellen Drew. Recently she
was co-starred with Joel McCrea in
Reaching for the Sun"
Then Pulled Down.
Swell" said the people who are
pulling for Ellen. This is mil
lion-dollar picture with a popular
leading man and Ace Director Will
liam Wellman to help her along the
stardom route" At this point,
Paramount should have bolstered
its investment in Miss Drew by
putting her in another big picture,
and then another, and another;
and it would have had a star at
traction on its pay roll. But no.
First picture for Ellen after Reach
ing for the Sun" is quickie,
''Who-Done-It," to be followed by
Hopalong Cassidy! So with one
picture she Is lifted. And with two
others pulled down. This is not
the way to create a star.
Similar Is the case of Patricia
Morrison, who came to Hollywood
with 4 good acting reputation and

of Mr. Wright's book is for you. For
it easily makes the best melodrama

gone before this season can equal
it in sheer physical tension.
The play is done in 10 scenes,
without an intermission. The the

disclose black velvet hangings. For
a moment there is only that. Then
a prosecuting attorney clumps up
from the orchestra pit and begins
in measured tones to ask for the
blood of a Negro named Bigger
Thomas. His death is needed, he
says, to make the rest of us feel
sure mo black ape will come climb

Here's an easy one: Name the
actor who habitually takes off his
glasses and polishes them?
It's never in the script, but Ed
ward Arnold does it-half dozen
times in every movie. Cameramen
can't stop him. He does it uncon-
sciously, he says, in the midst OF i'm
portant sequences. Arnold does an
other fine job of glass-polishing In

If the actor is constantly taking
his glasses off and then putting
them back on, holding them near
one temple. who can 1t be?
Well. that's a trick one. 1t might
be Lionel Barrymore or 1t might be

He Acts With His Eyes.
Then, there's John Carradine,
who. with the longest face in Holly
wood, increases it's length by raising
his eyebrows.
Spencer Tracy's most notable eye
exercise is the one in which he looks
down and then raises his eyebrows.
An equally characteristic screen ges-
ture of Tracy's is his habit of clench-
ing his jaws and making his cheek
muscles quizzer in moments OF
stress.
Though Charles Boyer probably
has as few stock idioSyncraSies as
any actor in pictures, he is known
as 'the man who acts with his eyes.
Some of those moon-eyed moments

eject on heroines-and audiences.
