did Craig. And, since coping Gin
ger, Craig has been shuttled from
one picture to another, R-K-O be-
ing short of leading men. So you've
got to be an early bird to catch
Craig.
He and Pastor got out early to
do road work in a park. I would
like to say went around with them,
but the going around I did is hardly
worth mentioning. But since turn
ed out at am. to meet Craig for
the first time, try to keep me from
mentioning it.
I wanted to find out who Craig
is and why he causes women to
wilt when they see him in person
and to propose to him in writing.
/! But this is not story obtained
! on the dog trot. After the abriefest
piece of read work on record, your
unathletic correspondent retired to
a booth in the nearest Brown
Derby. And that is where Craig,
full of enough fresh air for all of
us, told me how and why he is an
actor.
He is an actor deliberately; there
was nothing accidental about it.
He always had an idea he'd get
to Hollywood, but Texas is long
way from here and the talent scouts
seem to include Houston out. Craig
(his real name is Maeder) came
here five years ago to look around
to see if anyone wanted an actor.
He met only movie dramatic
coach. who gave Craig talk Ia: Go
back home, take some dramatic les
sons, work in a little theater and
then . this IA Is the gentle
brush of used generally in Holly
wood.
Craig went back to Houston, took
some dramatic lessons, worked in
little theater and then two
and a half years ago he returned,
full of confidence and feeling full
Of experience. The movie coach gave
him a hearing and, along with a
lot of other hopefuls, Craig got a
test. Next day Paramount gave
him a contract and two days later
he was playing the lead In a
Western.
IT sure was green" Craig says Of
his first movie effort. Paramount
let him 60 after six months. Be-
fore long he was with Columbia,
the result of his agents eloquent
declaration that here, at last, was
ganuine Texas cowboy.
Il guess they think there's Moth
ing in Texas but cowboys" he re-
called with a grin at his grim efforts
to become one. Columbia let him
90. too, after six Westerns.
In the meantime he married and
now has a son of 10 months.
AS green as Craig was ("I still
can't act!"O, Sam Wood insisted
on him for the Rogers picture. Wood
had seen a test of Craig and had
talked to him at length, about foot
ball and sports. Wood is one OF the
few directors who will spend hours
talking with an actor to find out
what makes him tick. If Wood likes
the sound he hires the actor.

A penetrating intelligence might
