If your cheekbones are high and
prominent, if your eyes will slant
with the aid of a little adhesive
tape, HollyWood's harried casting
directors may be looking for you.
And If you're really an Oriental
you haven't a Chinamans chance
of ducking movie job unless you
can run faster than the sprinting
scouts of half dozen studios where
China is in just about every other
title on the production lists.
Get me Chinese, Koreans, Fill
pinos, Malayans-anything!" This
plaintive wall from cinematic sets,
where war pictures have cameras
Gathering like machine guns, is
rapidly swelling to a full-throated
howl
The japanese are gone to intern
ment camps. So many Chinese are
playing Jap roles that there are
practically no Chinese left for Chi
nese roles. Koreans are scarce.
Malayans are scarcer-and not so
good as types (but who's particular
these daysD. Filipinos are so busy
they have to stop and think which
side they are really on.
The shortage of Oriental types is
so critical the Screen Actors Guild
has waived membership demands.
Anybody who fills the bill can be
hired, on a waiver basis.
Here's what happened last week:
Agency Fresh Out.
Producer Henry McCrea, Holly
woods king of the Serials" ap-
pealed to Central Casting Agency
for 10 Chinese to portray japanese
submarine crewmen in the chapter
play, Don Winslow OF the Coast
Guard"
So sorry, said Central Casting,
there just aren't any.
McCrea turned horse trader. He
had Philip Aim, well-known Korean
actor, under contract for Don Win
SLOW" and he knew Paramount was
anxious to get Aim as soon as pos
sible for an important role in
China" already in production.
McCrea phoned Director John
Farrow.
John" he said, Suppose I re-
write my script so that Aim gets
killed early enough to let you have
him by 8 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing?"
Farrow, basking opulently amid
400 Chinese under contract for
5000 man days, was cagey but in
terested.
"You really must want something" :"
he commented. But name any
price within reason"
Ten Chinese by l o'clock today"
McCrea demanded. He got them,
Farrow got Aim.
Gone With the War.
Before the war there were about
1000 Chinese in Hollywood and Los
Angeles who worked occasionally in
pictures. Since Pearl Harbor this
number has been halved, studios
report. Many went into the Army,
some went into war plants, others

Keeping yourself in line. and your
weight at q see-saw level is some
thing else, again, but there is one
sure-fire method of Learning the
trick. Grip abdominal muscles tight

in khaki do. Their muscles arc
given the squecso-play and held
for twenty-yard stretches, and
90 on, until they can march ever
the entire drill 6eld with q COM
tracted abdomen.
But maintaining balance also de-
pends upon the way you walk. With
your body properly lined up. step
straight ahead, hewing to a line -
one that runs parallel with and be-
tween your feet. Al you walk, shift
weight evenly, putting the burden
On the outer borders of your feet.
>>rvI cot R1Y1uG" So have
foot soldiers. Marching in rhythm
enables them to walk more miles
with less fatigue. To put rhythm
into your tread, you time your steps
- using mental count, keeping the
beat On the ball of your foot, and
measuring your strides. Best rhyth-
mic stride is one -and-a-half times
the length of your foot.
If rhythm doesn't come easy.
here's a timing trick that will keep
each leg swinging in as measured
movements as the infallible pendu-
lum of a metronome. As you time
your steps and measure your strides,
slap each hip with the hand that's
nearest to it. If you don't want to
send the eyebrows of lookers-on
shutting upward, you'd better prac-
tice this hip-whacking in private
Pretty soon, the subconscious will
take over as your drum-major.
When that time comes, YOU ii be
able to snap your fingers at
fatigue and look the part of q
one-woman crack regiment, n
you step smartly along.
So much for posture. But why
not also tighten the load you carry
by taking of unnecessary heft?"
asks Miss Van Rensselaer,. There
are no overweights in the Woman's
Army. where surplus pounds are
an unnecessary burden.
Enlistees must conform to Army
measurements - that allow you to
weigh just 50 many pounds - and
those precisely determined by
height, weight and general bone
structure. For physical fitness, any
weight exceeding that figure needs

good posture" says Miss Van
Rensselaer,, SIS because body bal
ance enables muscles and levers to
work with the least output of
energy; reduces fatigue-making
strains; increases stamina
Proof. she says, that balanced
weight gives you less of a load to
carry is the primitive woman who
glides effogtlessly under her head
balanced load; and the water -coolie,
who. by balancing his pals from
opposite ends of a yoke. walks up
right under back-bending burden.
IMAGINE. THEN. that your body
weight is a head-borne basket of
clothes or pole-balanced pair of
buckets. The trick is to achieve
balance. This you can do, just as the
girl-soldier does, by holding your
self as free of dips as a magnetic
needle; by keeping your shoulders
