John Charles Thomas and whom

one-tenth of a point. She holds a

There's Ingrid Bergman, who looks

Robert Taylor is a Pomona College

because Edward G.. Robinson talks

The man on the street probably
thinks so, because he's read 1t so
often. He believes all producers are
ex- -cloak-and-suit manufacturers,
that writer's are hacks and that
stars are photogenic but uneducated
extraverts.
This may have been true to some
extent in the dark, distant and dis
NAL early silent era, but it's a
matter Of record today that Holly
woods II. O." is definitely on the
ascendancy.

that higher education is no handi-
cap in attaining a box Office rating.
Johnston Said Otherwise.
Just see what Alva Johnston
wrote about Hollywood in an article
short time ago: THE university
alumni are working for the high
school alumni, and the high school
alumni are working for the gram
mar school alumni. You can rough
ly measure the Importance of a
man in the motion picture industry
by the number of stories told about
his Ignorance"
Hold onto your hats. You don't
like statistics? Then let's trot out
some pretty girls and interesting
males before setting down the hard
and fast educational facts, which
indicate that Mr.. Johnston could
have been kidding.

more, these bright-eyed collegians
seem perfectly capable of holding
their own with the garret starvers.
Alexis Smith, for example. re-
Gently won full star rating at War
ner Bros. as the result of her per-
formance in a highly dramatic role
in The Constant Nymph." Two
years ago Miss Smith was a coed
at Los Angeles City College. She
was ma joring in dramatics and was
determined to be an actress. New
ertheless, she turned down an offer
to make a screen test until she had
finished the school year and re-
ceived her diploma.
She Never Was Hungry.
She had no sooner completed the
two-year dramatic course than she
was signed to a Warner Bros. con-
tract. On the heels of her perform

Alexis has gone into the feminine
lead of Gentleman Jim" opposite
Enrol Flynn. She's star, and she
hasn't missed meal in her life.
Seventeen-year- Joyce Rey-
nolds, also appearing in The Con-
slant Nymph," got no farther than
the middle Of her freshman year at
the University of California at Los
Angeles when the movies discov-
cred her. She played the title role

Charles Boyer, Joan Fontaine,
Brenda Marshall and Miss Smith,
and is now with Jack Benny and
Ann Sheridan in George Wash

The nearest Joyce ever came to
starvation was cutting out after
school matted lnilks.
The film scouts do not conflne
their search for new talent to To-
cal colleges by any means. Craig

student play to be met by a scout
who suggested a screen test. Craig

But, gosh, what unique equipment
it takes to hold down the job. Pro-
ducer Mayer, better known in Holly
wood as 'Louiee B." was a Russian
emigrant. He had almost no edu-
cation. Yet the University Of New
Brunswick conferred upon him the
honorary degree of LII. D. in recog-
milton Of his outstanding achieve
ments.
Louiee B. started as a peddler,
with a basket OF bright post cards,
brushes and household articles. He
toted it from door to door in the
little city of cobbled streets known
as st. John, New Brunswick. When
he was IL years old he joined his
father in the salvaging business. At
II his job carried him to Boston.
There he settled down to make his
fortune.
His First Link.
He founded his first theater chain
in New England. He took over a
burlesque theater in Haverhill,
Mass, renamed it the Orpheum,
cleaned it up, installed a women S
orchestra and showed the Passion

This was the first link in Mayer S
chain of theaters, which eventually
led him to the distributing and then
