Harry Carey,
King of Westerns,
Prefers Mud
Tired of Fr0ck.Coated
Roles Thrust ON Him
In Recent Years
Wide World.
HOLLYWOOD.

W luc WUIlOs
HOLLYWOOD.
Harry Carey, doyen of cowboy
actors. thinks those frock-coat roles
he's been compelled to play in recent
pictures will be the ruin Of him yet.
For years, Carey and Bill Hart,
another big he-Westerner, ran neck
and-neck in holster dramas until
Carey finally HINGED it alone in the
big film roundups. He'd rather lasso
an Apache desperate on the screen
than play Hamlet on Broadway.
Recently, however, dignifled roles
and mutton-chop whiskers have
been thrust upon him. But as soon
as they're done, he slips. of to ride
with a circus, where he can wave
his 5-gallon hat to yelling admirers
under the big top.
Il appreciate this being asked to
do frock-coat parts, said Carey.
"A lot of people have seen me in
em. But still more, guess, have
seen me aboard a cayuse on the
mud-show circuit I've been doing
that long time now-nearly 30
years.
Fans Might Desert.
There are a lot of circus fans
who don't even know I've acted in
pictures. They demand considerable
Of their favorites circus fans do.
Some of EN-, if they knew I was
wearing silk hat in pictures. would
be off of me for good"
Carey sometimes feels he's living
a Jekyll and Hyde life, but there
isn't much he can do about it. Years
ago when he had rough going in
Hollywood, he joined up with a
circus. And. since it had a circuit
that ran through the COW country
OF the South and Southwest, and
Carey had made his start in cow
boy films. he soon became pretty
well known in the saddle.
They're my backlog" says the
genial Paramount cowboy, showing
back his silk hat and speaking OF
his public"
That's what no actor can dc
without-a backlog. They're the
people who give you a hand when
they know you're playing straight
with EN-.
He Admits Remissness.
Il let 'em down a few times
though, at that. But it wasn't nv
fault. First time was when I PLAYED
Trader Horn and they had to pay
dollar to see me, instead of two
bits.
Then was a -herder in a
color film. They couldn't take that
but then, neither could l. I wouldn't

let alone a flock OF sheep to ruin

Children's Theater Plans
Museum of Washington
Will Sponsor Plays

Clare Tree Majors Children's
Theater of New York is to have a
new Washington sponsor when it
opens its eleventh season here at
the National Theater on october "a
with the perennial favorite. Han
sci and Gretel." The Chndrens
Museum of Washington. which was
launched as a public service to all
Washington youngsters on George
Washington's Birthday of this year,
is to sponsor the series of six plays.
The director of the Childrens
Museum is Miss Matilda Young,
who for seven years was the WASH
ington representative of Clare Tree
Majors Children's Theater. Miss
Young resigned this post last year
to organize the Children's Museum.
The Children's Museum and the
Childrens Theater are natural as
sociates.
The plays will be given on Satur-
day morning, one each month. In
addition to "Hansel and Gretel," ;"
there will be "Pinocchio,' Beauty
and the Beast" "Rebecca of Sunny
brook Farm" and Captive Maid of
Old Carlisle"
Although the Childrens Museum
is temporarily closed during the
opening of the fall school term, the
Children's Theater Office in the mu-
scum, which is at 4215 Massachu-
setts avenue NV, is open every day

Mark up two boners, with one re-
covery, for the flicker factories.
Metro paid $4,000 for the screen
rights of the Broadway hit, 'The
Wookey," but chose Charles Laugh
ton for the lead role instead OF
Edmund Gwenn. Laughton IS
good, but the veteran Gwenn. per-
fectly at home behind the cameras
or footlghts, scored an outstanding
hit in the play.
Gween probably could have been
obtained for much less the Laugh

entered into the negotiations.

The towering Chicago Civic Opera
House, which once overaWed little
Maureen Cannon, now looks mighty
orab to the 17year-old colleen whose
fresh coloratura voice won from the
late Paul Loncone promise of a
principal role beneath it's huge gold
en- arch.
The opera house will be dark until
late fall, but the lights burn bright
over at the Studebaker Theater
where the big type out front spells
"Maureen Cannon" and the lobby
ahounds with portraits of the young
musical comedienne.
Maureen, daughter of a Chicago
streetcar conductor, has been the
ingenue lead of George Abbott's
Best Foot Forward" a musical
sbout prep school life, for more than
eight months. When the show
opened Chicago's 1942-43 theatrical
season, the critics greeted her as
though she were their daughter.
She was broWn-eyed. black
haired schoolgirl in her early teens
when she entered the opera tryouts
sld her voice caught the ear of
L2ngone, the company impresario.
"Mr. Longone wanted to try some
tNing new by having a young girl
sing the role of the doll in Offen-
E2ch's Tales Of Hoffman," she re-
calls. I'm most performances this
part is sung by a girl of about 20
or older. l was Is, 5 foot 2, and
Mr. Longone felt my voice was
qualified for the part he wished to
give more realism"

But before the plan could become
reality, Longone died while travel
Ing abroad, the opera directorship
rassed to another ,and plans for
f1aureen were forgotten.
II lost my interest in classical
flusic, turned to popular and sang
the Barbara Fritchie part in NV
Maryland at Providence High
School here. I sang a little before
clubs and other groups. but never
considered myself professional"
One day in June, 1941, one of
Maureen's friends heard that some
big producer from New York" was
having additions at Chicago hotel.
The little Irish girl thought she'd
50 down and sing just to get an
expert opinion on whether she
should spend any more time on pop-
nlar music.

II was surprised to learn the man
conducting the additions was George
Abbott's representative, Ezra Stone
the Henry Aldrich Of stage and
radio. But the real surprise came
when Mr.. Abbott called me to New
York for personal addition.
Il sang for him on July 7, and on
July 8 I had a contract to sing in
the show. Hundreds of girls all
over the country had tried out for
the part. I sang for an opinion of
my voice and wound up with job. "
I'm having the time Of my life
and could go on doing this forever,
it's such fun" she says, bright-eyed.
But I'm still keeping opera In the
