So Acid Mr.. Woollev
Is Not English

1t comes as a surprise to most
people to learn that Monty Woolley
is definitely not English. The mis-
apprehension probably results from
his precise, faultless diction.
For the record, Woolley's family
tree dates to 1882 in this country.
The Dutch Colonial home at Ell
beron, N. j., was built in l7O4, and 1t
housed eight generations of the
Woolley family. Soldiers Of every
war, from George Washington and
his men to doughboys of the 1917
conflict, were either entertained or
bivouacked there. Slaves often were
hidden in its tunnels just previous
to the War Between the States.
Though Woolley never has had
the slightest desire to reside in a
house-a hotel room is his choice
it is causing him real distress that
the house is being demolished at
present.
1.-THE family hates to see it CO."
said Woolley, "but it is in such q
state Of disrepair that it would
cost fortune to restore it and
taxes are so high that then 1t might
be impossible to keep 1t"
AL the family will retain are
some fine antique pieces which the
place has housed through the years.

then she has threatened to retire
at least dozen times. Upon find

Fay a ring and bring her out of
retirement again" If Fay reads the
script and likes the story she rushes
right back to the firing line. "I
guess I'm just an old fire horse" she
remarks upon accepting.
After announcing the end Of her
professional life following the run
OF "Dodsworth" Miss Banter was
persuaded, as a last gesture, to ac-
cept role with Bette Davis in
"Jezebel." That performance won
her an Academy award.

the grim, jut-jawed decisiveness
that colors public opinion today.
The atmosphere in that first wartime
was eXciting-as If war was nothing
more than dangerous and thrilling
game. The crowds gathered blocks
deep around the steps of the library
in New York City and bought bonds
eagerly. All the time bands blared
and bunting draped the buildings.
Professional people turned out
with just as much zeal as they do
today. Instead of the Dorothy La
mours. Judy Garlands, Red Skeletons
and Bob Hopes who now tour the
country, we had Mary Pickford,
Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks,
George M. Cohan and AL Jolson.
They were wonderful, too"
Miss BANTER was at the height of
her fame, starring in "The Kiss
Burglar" when that war broke out.
Sunday night performances, she re-
calls, were always reserved for serv-
icemen in most Broadway theaters.
She visited dozens of Army camps,
rolled literally miles of bandages for
the Red Cross.
Fay Bainter's life is a story of
devotion to the theater. From the
time she appeared in Alaskan music
halls as a starry-eyed 15-year-old
ingenue until she announced her
retirement forever" after "Dods-

Quitting Alaska at 16, Fay played
tent shows through Kansas and Mis-

Oliver Morosco needed a juvenile
for Nance O'Neills "TfNS SJewess" he
remembered the impression Fay
Banter left with him during a bit
performance he had caught in the
Midwest. He sent for her, gave her
an important role and the name of
Banter soon went up in lights.

her place as an acknowledged fig
