Incredible That
Show Business
Should Pay Off
IFS What Carson. ST..
First Thought When
Son Started Out
HOLLYWOOD.

i
The father-and-son relationship
between Jack Carson. ST., and his
large offspring is much better now.
After examining the motion pic
ture business with a slide rule and
a table of statistics, father Carson
has reversed his original conclusion
and decided that actors should be
paid.
Whether they get more or less
than the $25, ,000-a-year limit is a
problem that has players, 10 per
centers and lawyers gnawing their
knuckles and is another question
entirely. Mr.. Carson's original pre-
mise, advanced many years ago,
was simpler. He was astonished
to learn that actors were pair any
thing.
Carson, ST., is an insurance man.
His first statement on the subject
Of dough was made more than 10
years ago, long before Jack hit the
movies. At that point, young Car
son did a turn in q Milwaukee
vaudeville house. He danced and
said quaint things.
His father sat in the audience and
seemed to enjoy the show. But
when he came backstage, his flrst
question was, "Son, when are you
going to drop this foolishness and
return to school?"
Jack patiently explained that he
was being paid 5000 q week for his
few minutes on the stage. He said
there was money In the show busi-
ness. Even an insurance man could
see that. Mr.. Carson, patient in
turn, explained that money like
5000 q week for q mere lid was
imitation, unsound economies. and
bound to fade like . Florida real
estate boom.
He held to that theory for long
time, while son made the four-a-
day circuits, finally broke into pic
lures, and began to lose Ginger
Rogers. Jack lost Ginger Rogers
six times in row. Then he went
out to Warner Bros. and began
to lose that studios actresses. In
Gentleman JIM he loses Alexis
Smith to Errol Flynn. But he's
well paid for doing it.
p. S.-There Is such . thing as
poetic Justice, however For Mr..
Carson recently found out that
Jacks manager allows him snappy

The "any ones" were, besides Jo-

to turn in script. He got his idea

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS on &

After January you movie fans

promise Of stirring up real bona fide
competition in the celluloid news

The entrance Of one more con-
tender would be of no particular
significance If it were not for the
deplorable condition Of the news
field. For the past Is years all screen
news-gathering agencies have been
playing ball with one another. They
have been trading shots, duplicating
others and generally playing "cous-

The result is that q fan seeing

Feel
Hollywood Can
Discover Them
But Movie City Has
No Place for Twos
Or New CinderelIas
Bv Kate Holiday,

HOLLYWOOD (R.-Syery year,
hundreds of young girls land boys)
come to this town to try for a
screen career. Most of them are
rather attractive kids. They feel
they have a chance for screen sue
cess.
However, few of these youngsters
have either talent or experience.
They come West unprepared. They
still believe the old stories of dis
coveries of modern Cinderellas.
Hollywood feels sorry for these
girls and boys. Hollywood watches
them come. and knows that, for 80
per cent of them, the end will be
personal tragedy. They will become
drive-in hostesses, or sell behind
the counters Of shops and hash
houses. Some of them will kill
themselves. Others will go to work
on the streets. The town knows
the routine, yet the town continues
to invite America to come and try
its luck.
Publicity Is Harmful.
Publicity is wonderful thing.
But it is also dangerous. 1t can
build person or place up until
the truth is merely hearsay. 1t can
and does-cause the public to 60
into action. In Hollywood's case
the action is buying a theater ticket,
praising a personality, or getting on
a train.
Hollywood, through the years,
has consciously built up publicity
about itself 1t has hallowed its
streets, its people, its product. 1t
has forgotten, and made the public
forget, that it is a business.
I would venture to say that no
star has ever told the true story of
how he or she attained stardom
The publicity men have spun
yarn, yEs, but The star herself has
not. Even Lana Turner, discovered
as you remember on a soda-fountain
stool, has not told how she reached
the top. For that stool was only
the beginning. She was pretty, Of
course, but she had to learn lot
And that education took several
years of hard, diligent, exhausting
work
Means Hard Work.
A screen career is not easy. Sure,
I know you've heard that before.
Hollywood is not holy. Producers
are men. not gods. Stars are the
result of long and arduous labor.
Those are truths, kids. Remember
them.
Therefore, if you seriously are
considering a screen career, heed
these words:
First, decide whether you think
you would photograph or not. Be
honest about this. Don't pull any
punches.
Second, 60 to a dramatic school,
get into a good little theater, learn
your trade.
Third. don't come to Hollywood
to be seen. If you must, 60 to New
York for your professional debut.
but go with enough money to last
you for at least a year! And. while
you're there, learn the angles OF
show business Don't think some one
is going to grab you from the chorus
and make you a star. Because 1t
just won't happen.
Then. let Hollywood come to you.
If you're good, it will. When it
does, forget all that guff about Gin
derella. Remember, instead, that
the making of motion pictures is a
business and that Hollywood Is only
an industrial town And watch out
for publicity!

Manners
of the
Moment

Speaking Of dimouts, although
this has not so much to do with
patriotism as with human kindness,
I'd like to suggest dimout of radios
for the window season. It's
all right to play your radio. I'm not
asking you to give it up entirely.
I'm only asking that while your
windows are open this summer, and
your neighbor's windows are open,
you turn the radio down to decent
volume that can be heard in your
house but not three blocks down.
This Is suggestion which I
should like to see applied to all the
hours of the day. After 10 pm. the
problem is more drastic, still. But
when come home to supper in the
evening or when I am sitting down
eating a quiet lunch. it's awful to
have six radios in the neighborhood
blasting different tunes and differ
ent voices in my ears. I might just
as well spend my summer right in
the middle Of Times Square or the
Loop. I'd get every bit as much
peace as I get in my radio playing
neighborhood.
But nice dimout would be won-
derful. Muffled sounds of music
have a rather pleasant connotation.
I feel, when I hear them, that peo-
pie are sitting quietly at home en-
joying their American way of life.
And I, too, can go home and enjoy
my American way of life. JEAN.
