We do not believe it is a

They, for the most part, just

They are living solely in the

"See Ohio"
"See Ohio-Know Ohio"
is a slogan which has been
developed in an effort to
make vacation helpful in
winning the war.
John w. Bricker, COVER
nor of Ohio, in conjunction
with the program has said,
,|it is necessary for workers
to have periods of relaxa-
tion through vacations near
home, in order to maintain
both health and morale, that
they may better bear the
strains of work."
But that does not mean
that vacationers have to
use up tires and gasoline
going to far-off places.
There are many beautiful
recreational and historic
sites right near home-in
Ohio, which can and should
be- utilized during these
times. To see Ohio will
help conserve materials
necessary toward winning
of the war.

Greta Garbo began her career.

other interiors of any consequence
now contemplated are the Madrid

of Ell Sordo's mountain retreat, and
Commissar Marty's office. The rest

I called on Katharine Cornell in
her dressing room one hour before
the curtain rose on her matinee

her favorite role as Shaw's heroine
in the play written Al years ago.

Cornell. "and I'd like to do a movie
before I die. it will be something
like Candida" something that fits
me exactly"
She's Still Scared.
AS long ago as the movie version
of THE Barretts of Wimpole Street
Hollywood producers have begged
Miss Cornell to bring her talents to
the screen. Irving Thalberg almost
had her signature on the dotted line
for the celluloid role Of Elizabeth
Barrett, a part she had played on
the New York stage and from one
end of the United States to the
other for a period of three years.

others clung to the wreckage, were
eventually picked up and then taken
to Glasgow. And as soon as she
could manage it she sailed for home
again, this time on the Orizaba.
Broadway was still far away.
She found some radio jobs in
Montreal and Toronto and then de-
cided to try Hollvwood-not the
movies but the living stage. She
played Mrs. Manningham, her pres
ent role, in the coast production of
Angel Street. known then by its
original English title, "Gaslight."
No Expe :tations.
Shepard Traube got together some
money-the production cost in New
York was about s14,OOO-after he
found some angels; and on the rec
ommendation of Vincent Price, the
villainous husband of the piece, en-
gagged Miss Evelyn. Price had seen
her act the part in California and
knew how good she was.
So on December she made her
Broadway debut. In advance it
looked, to most frst-nighters, like
just another opening. There had
been a rash of bad plays, disap-
pointing plays for weeks, and there
was no particular reason to expect
Angel Street" to be any better than
the rest.
John j. Wildberg, associate of
Cheryl Crawford, producer of "Porgy
and Bess," had had an option on
the play, had even produced it in
Boston. But it didn't look like
good go.
AS it turned out it was an un-
forgettable night. The simple idea
which Patrick Hamilton had de-
veloped when he wrote the play
slowly absorbed the audience. The
horror of the tale gripped every one.

in Buffalo, had gone to Germany
with her mother for ost-graduate
study. The baby Kate weighed

this country with her parents when
she was 6 months old. Her father

HOLLYWOOD.

Let's say you want to get into
the movies and have a stunning
photograph of yourself The most
direct step then toward attaining
that goal, if you value the ex-
periences of many Hollywood stars
and starlets, is to get that picture
printed in the paper.
City editors will groan with an
guish when they read this, but it's
true nevertheless that a lot of girls
have been getting to Hollywood by
having their pictures printed in the
local papers. If this starts rush
of photogenic pretties toward the
city room, well, the man in the
green eye-shade with the big yellew
pencil has probably endured worse
fates than that.
There's no denying recent
check-up which shows that studios
today are we'll populated with young
actresses originally spotted by
talent scouts ON the front pages
of their favorite journals-or in the
society section, or in the drama
department. Great stacks of news

NEW YORK.


The luckiest actress on Broadway
today is probably Judith Evelyn, the
young lady who plays the role of the
frail, harassed wife in the Victorian
melodrama Angel Street"
Luckiest not only because she is
being starred in one of the few hits
of the most dismal season New York
has seen in 20-odd years, but for
another reason, unrelated to the
theater but far and away more
dramatic.
She is one of the survivors of the
first sinking of the war-the British
liner Athena, which went down off
the Irish coast the day Britain de-
clared war on Germany.
Miss Evelyn was born in South
Dakota but was raised in Canada
and was educated at the University
of Manitoba. She had some idea
of becoming teacher, but the the
ater proved its greater drawing
power and she found a job with a
Canadian ChautauQua company,
acting a little, and in her spare time
helping to manipulate the Sue Hast
ings marionettes.
In London Before War.
She spent a year and a half at
the Pasadena Playhouse in Cali
fornia and later returned to Can
ada and had a season at the Little
Theater in Toronto and did some
radio work.
Two years before the war started
she went to London. She liked the
English stage, but Broadway was
her goal as it is the goal of most
actors and actresses on both sides
of the Atlantic.
The Athena adventure conceiv-
ably would have stopped a woman
of lesser heart. Miss Evelyn's life
boat had been cut in half by the

You see," Miss Cornell continues,
"I am one of the few well-known
actresses without film experience.
Helen Hayes has made several films,
the Lunts have worked in Holly
wood. So has Tallulah Bankhead. I
feel I'm at a disadvantage. I have
no experience in making films and
no way of learning and practicing.
I'd be put into a big part and be
judged on my stage reputation. And
I couldn't hope to do a perfect job,
as I would be a novice. Even now
I seem to hear every one whisper
ing, Cornell is in a bad movie
That must never happen. Whatever
I do must be the best of its kind"
Opened the Road Again.
Lest you should think that Miss
Cornell lacks the courage required
for breaking into any new field of
work, you are now reminded that
she was the first of the big acting
shots to take herself, cast and plays
into the then dead" theatrical ter
ritory, the little cities of the United
States.
1T was about eight or nine years
ago." Miss Cornell tells me, that
I started the fashion of taking
established play successes on tour.
I was told to expect a flop, that
places outside New York cared only
for movie shows. I visited rs cities
at that time and played in Candida.
The Barretts of Wimpole Street
and Romeo and Juliet Not only
was the tour an artistic success, but
a financial one, which led the way
for others to follow. And now there
is scarcely an actor or actress of
repute who does not go on the
road"
The prevalent touring habits of
Gertrude Lawrence, Helen Hayes,
Maurice Evans, the Lunts, etc, serve
a purpose, they prolong the life of
play. yield handsome returns at
the touring box office and also, IN
the words of Miss Cornell, serve as
buildup for your next show in
New York. Our audiences are drawn
from all over the country. If they
like you in their home town they
want to see you in New York"
An Excuse for Walking.
The so-called hardshipS of live
on-the-road" have no terrors for
Miss Cornell. She loves every
minute of the train journeys, the
openings in difficult cities and new
audiences" Miss Cornell's four
dogs always travel with her. Her
favorite dachshund recently gave
birth to seven puppies while sit
ting on her owners lap!-''I was
much more exhausted than she
was" says the actress.
Her dogs are Miss Cornell's IA
vorite excuse for walking, which she
does for fun and to keep within
her 130-pound weight limit. Some
times after a summer at the Cor
