No Fun 10 Climb

of course. Its no fun 10 climb
two or three flights of stairs
10 get from stage 10 dressing
room.
But how do you explain the
inordinate jealousy that enters
into some of these fights? Dress
ing rooms, alike IN all other
respects, are the cause OF turl-
Gus fights If one actress has a
star over her door and another
doesn't. Some producers, in
desperation, put stars over
everybody's door.
FIRTH Scheff, in her prime,
even insisted on having a wink
ing electric sign, spelling
'Fritzie" over her door. Lily
Langtry, who demanded her
maid address her as Lady de
Battle" had 10 have a strip OF
carpet running from her dress
ing room TO the stage.
Gets Canvas Tunnel
One young star is said 10 have

tunnel built from her door 80
the stage so she wouldn't be
disturbed by comments Of other
members Of the cast before she
made her entrance 49, bringing
the acid comment from a fellow
actress: shes probably afraid
she'll catch acting from us
There's no denying, though
that dressing rooms in general
are not what you'd call COM
modious. In Detroits theaterS
they are pretty good, but Henry

z Rooms in Basement
In one small town the dress

rooms in the basement, one
marked Ladies and the other
Scents" There is a legend that
an actor in Way Down East
found himself in one hamlet
dressing on the back steps in a
snowstorm. II may not be with
out truth.
Duffy remembers a theater in
Lewiston. Pa, with a stage so
shallow they couldn't use a cur
tain and didn't have any back
stage at all. Actors dressed at
their hotels. At MurphySboro.

Walter Huston told Duffy Of
dressing in a boiler room when
"Dodsworth' was on tour.
In Hudson, n. Y. only two
tiny rooms were available and
slanted upward at such an-angle
that the actors makeup Away
looked lopsided.
Possibly the stars fight for the
best dressing room Just 10 blot
out memories Of their younger
days-there's a theater adagc
that an actor has three stages

We have seen people stand look

In New York once, Dorothy La

HOW IT'S DONE
But violence is neophyte stuff.
The old regulars never go in for it,
for fear of spelling their chances
later, and perhaps out of Difference
to their own dignity as experienced
journeymen.
Most of the autograph hounds
come equipped with cameras, and
they will take picture one time

sell their wares, but by far the
most of them are in the thing for

As daring as a commando, as re-
sourceful as a prop man and as
full of lore as a frontier scout is
that incorrigible Hollywood sports
man, the autograph hunter. He is
also as determined as a life in
surance salesman and as pitiles5 as
a Brooklyn subway guard.
We are not speaking now Of the
casual or amateur huntsman, who
can take an autograph or leave 1t
alone, but of the career type, the
addict, the true afiCiOnado-the "old
regular" as he is known in Holly
wood-the fellow who pursues the
sport for the sheer JOY of the chase,
who knows the lairs, the feeding
places and the habits of all the
stars and who lifts his nose like a
pointer the moment one heaves
into view.
In evidence of the resourcefulness
of this breed let us cite the case Of
a lady autograph hunter who hap
pened to be bathing in The surf at
Catalina Island when she spotted
Enrol Fiynn's yacht, the Sirocco,
riding at anchor nearby. She swan

hundred Yards - arrived out Of
