DAY She SCruck upon tne CnllO1SQ-
idea that if she could only work it
some way so that she could appear
on the screen, perhaps, somehow,
that film might sometime find its
way to far-off Libya, where her
father could see her.
AS it developed, it wasn't such
childish fantasy after all. Stranger
things than that have happened
here in the unpredictable land of
make-believe.
Her mother, it seems, is good
friend of Jill Esmond, English ac-
tress now in the film capital. And,
with her aid, her dream partly
came true. The little tot landed a
role in The Pied Piper" which
paradoxically is war-tras film.
Energetically, hopefully, she
worked in the film for q week.
Then her dream bubble burst!
She took down with the measles,
which caused her to lose her role.
Now. she sobs, her father will never
get to see her in the picture.
But the Disappointment did not
lay entirely with little Clare All
of the scenes in which she had ap-
peared had to be retaken, which
cost the studio exactly $35, ,000-just

Not for Leading Men.
There doesn't seem to be any
rhyme or reason to 1t, but you sell

It's just like some of the other
cinematic traditions-lik never
giving some singers an opportunity
to sing-which no one ever can ex-
plain.
Usually, the outdoorsy type of
screen actor sticks to a pipe. Brisk

Generally, it's only the heavies

It's Okay So Far

Seagulls. unfortunately, don't
know about shooting schedules,
camera angles and the like.
That's why the property men with
Paramounts Wake Island" COM
pany on location at Salton Sea are
keeping their fingers crossed.
Each morning their job Is to en-
tice, cajole and coax with sufficient
crumbs and honeyed words as many
as possible of the flighty birds to
the shore within photographing
range.
So far their persuasive labors have
been rewarded.
Their fervent hope:
That Director John Farrow doesn't
call for all white gulls when black
ones report for outy.

to be roped, tied and carried to the
studio where the late humorist
made his movie debut? 1 inter-
viewed Jimmy at the Roach studio
on day he wasn't working He
was late getting in from the ranch
to keep the appointment. On the
theory that cattle aren't as tickle
as the public" Jimmy proposes to
continue his ranching.
He was truly a chip off the old
block when he came loping into the
Office, minus hat and coat. His
hair was stringing across his fore
head; his shirt was open at the
throat and just making connections
with his trousers. He has his
fathers blue eyes, prominent nose,
shy smile and dry wit.
He forgets his lines frequently, like
Will did. He ad Ibis a bit. But
they don't let me get away with it,"
ne told me. He balks at love scenes.
My first reaction when Hal
Roach approached me to make a
test was. frankly thought he was
crazy. I can't act I thought
the test was awful, but Mr.. Roach
seemed willing to take the chance.
So I kind of got myself adopted by
an agent suggested by Leo GARLIC
and We made deal"
"Very Self Conscious"
Il felt like an idiot when I did
the first picture 1t seemed so silly
to be doing those things in front
Of a camera.
Il was never camera shy and I'm
not mike shy. I've done a lot of
speaking. I used to be in the de-
batting society in college. But to
get up and act made me feel very
self-conscious.
In the beginning you feel that
every one is looking at you with a
critical eye. Before long you realize
they are all busy doing their own
job. They are not interested in
what you are doing, so you don't
pay attention to them. The more
you do 1t, the more you get used to
1t. It's like going into any new job.
I like acting. it's a lot of fun,
nice work and good pay under en-
Joyable circumstances. I'd rather
work at this studio than any other.
It's like home. Mr.. Roach was a
friend of my fathers and Hal
Roach. jr., is directing my pictures.
So far. they have been confined to

Western comedies, which are like
any other comedies except that you
wear cowboy clothes and keep it
pretty authentic"
Which would you rather be-a
great actor or great personality"
I asked him.
Il would like to be a very fine
actor" Jimmy replied, "but that is
an impossibility. A fine actor is
an interpreter Of a part. It's a
gift, similar to the gift Of a musi-
clan or an artist. It's that
something that is not there with
me-"
But you were practically borr
IN show business" I said. Don't
you believe in inherited talent?"
Advantages and Handicaps.
Jimmy ducked his head and grim
ned. IF I have any" he chuckled
tits been on lay-off for 20 years.
When was years old I made some
pictures with Dad for Goldwyn.
That was in the two-reeler days.
My brother worked in pictures di-
rectly after that with Big Boy Will
liams. But it remained for my sister
Mary to grow up and care about
working in pictures"
Il understand you refused to al
low any trading on your fathers
name. Do you feel that being the
son Of famous man is a handi-
cap?" l asked Jimmy.
There are distinct advantages,
and distinct handicaps to being
Jimmy Rogers" he said. IF I had
been just one of 100000 people in
this city, the chances are a million
to one I would not have been asked
to make pictures. Whether it is
