Glamour Ham
Is a School
Of the Past
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD.
Hollywood is turning away from
the male star with the, Greek god
body and perfect profile; the glamour
girl as such is on her way out; an
inexperienced film find is a total
loss in the expensive production
machinery of today; and down-to-
earth human values will predomi-
nate in the films which will be sue
cessful with the public in the pres
ent period.
These are some of the statements
of Hunt Stromberg, who has been
voted filmdom's foremost producer
in a 12-year period by two national
surveys of American theater men.
Claiming that it has taken films
20 years to get away from the
strutting handsome ham type of
male actor. Stromberg cites the
present policy of signing male stars
who look down to earth and of the
people for the roles which require
romantic yet rugged characterize
.tion. Handsome males succeed on
eAAS oSASSlA III oPlOC VI btlCll
and due to exceptional dramatic
ability, he thinks, as in the case of
Robert Taylor. Two years of war
have changed the outlook of the
public so that they will not accept
anything but a rugged type of star.
Humanity, Not Perfection.
Glamour, as referring to superficial
enhancements and overemphasis
of physical charms, is on its way
out in spite of the rage for pin-up
girls and cover girls. A beauty is
now judged by her warm human
appeal rather than by perfection of
feature, for the world has learned
many different standards of beauty
and values real charm and person.
ality above all these, according to
the veteran producer.
Radio and stage experience still
remain the best training for aspiring
film stars, he thinks. It is only those
with such experience who are leap
ing to the top of the film ladder in
these days of expanded opportunity
for newcomers. Modern film pro-
duction is too expensive and in
volved to stand idle while director
teaches a new player how to act on

to the ticket-taker; inside, they
would throw away their ticket stubs

termissions.
The burlesque of mountaineers
was presented 10 times weekly to
accommodate crowds. But it is not
the show that billboards heralded
as Naughty, spicy, daring it

If anything, it is amateurish. The
cast Is made up of beginners and
unknown veterans, the set was
thrown together in a bargain base

The playwright, Claire Parrish,
packed her show with all the stock
mountain characters known to the
trade. There Is the pipe-smoking
grandmother, the nitwit son, So
cial case worker, a drunk and two
city girls to vie with the mountain
women.
Tossed into this unoriginal assort-
ment is the stock character of them
all, the magazine illustrator. On
the fact that he looks enough like
what people are supposed to think
artists look like, the plot moves
along just by his being there.
In trying to find out to whom such
a play appeals, one critic ventureu,
"It is for those who considered To

Just a Babe in Night Clubs
By Robert WHder.
NEW YORK.

NEW 1ofSh.
Fifteen years or so ago, when
that magic thing known as distance
was more important than the pro-
gram which came through the ear
phones of early radio sets, Baby
Rose Marie was plaintively sing
ing the question: What Can
Say After I Say I'm Sorry?"
These nights at the Versailles,
the quietly splendid night spot on
East Fiftieth street, Rose Marie,
IAN old hag of 20'' by her own ad-
mission, chants boisterously of Pig
Foot Pete From Kansas City" and
in pleasantly husky tones sings a
ballad or SO from "Oklahomal" sur
rounded the while by no little gla-
mour and beauty as supplied by the
stately lovelieS known as the "Ver-
sighs."
Rose Marie is one of the few
entertainers who can be grateful
for the years, for her early photo
graphs, complete with bangs and
ruff1ed pinafore, give the undenia-
BILE impression that Baby Rose Marie
might have been slightly on the
brattishly precocious side. At the
age of 20, however, she is an ex-
tremely personable young woman
with the poise that comes from
years of appearing in public and
voice which, miraculouSly enough,
she didn't ruin with her early ef-
forts.
Ringlets Didn't Help.
Back in 1886 Rose Marie made
q determined effort to get rid Of
the baby in her name by going to
hairdresser and having her
straight hair done into ringlets and
curls, Nothing much came of this,
though. People still insisted upon
referring to her as Baby Rose Ma
rie. Even today her friends still
address her as Baby, but the term
is more one of affection than any,
thing else.
Rose Marie comes as close to being
the trunk" baby of the theatrical
legend as any one else. Her father,
Frank Curley, was a well-known
Broadway performer for past gen.
Grafton, playing in "Forty-five Min

may play it by less artful rules and

In reviving them now, Mr.. Ions
dale is well within his license as
dramatist and it is quite possible
that, through them, romance will
rear a head the prettier for not
having been seen recently in the
theater.
Soldiers Write Lightly, Too.
An entirely different style of COM
edy-one which probably intimates
more than anything else the taste
of servicemen for light entertain
ment-will follow the Lonsdale plav
into the National. That is the
type to be found in 1.-THE Army
Play by Play" cycle of five one-act
plays written by non-commissioned
soldiers.
THE Army Play by Play" not to
be confused with This Is the Army"
as many are wont to do, is the result

utes From Broadway" and other
successes. BY the time Rose Marie
was 5 years old she had finished
a six-montn vaudeville tour, worked
through an engagement of 13 weeks
at the Winter Garden and had
made an early "talkie" for the
movies.
According to the story, Rose Ma
rie got her first chance on the air
by accident. In 1927 she was on
the beach at Atlantic City enter
tanning group of adults when an
official of Station WPG happened
by. He listened to the youngster
and that night she sang the sad
song of repentance, What Can I
Say, Dear, etc." over the air.
Too Much of Leg.
In her own ,way Rose Marie made
a little entertainment history despite
the fact that she wasn't exactly the
Shirley Temple of her day. She did
very well, however, and was on her
way to the top brackets when, as
is usual, she began to grow up and
reached the leggy stage when she
was no longer little and cute nor
tall and beautiful. Booking agents
began to look askance at the baby
in Baby Rose Marie. Rose Marie
might have been shuff1ed off into
oblivion, as so many child stars be-
fore her, but she was determined to
be singer and, knowing what she
wanted, worked at the job of get
ting it.
Emerging from the jungle of ad-
olescence, she started to work again.
In 1888 she had a radio program,
twice weekly, on Station WIZ, and
since that time had been working
steadily in clubs and hotels outside
of New York.
That phrase, 'just outside of New
York." brings little comfort to the
atrfcal folk. Just outside New
York may just as well be Zanzi-
bar and sometimes is. In any event,
she kept busy, always with one eye
on New York.
Sings Something Simple.
II never wanted to be an operatic
star" Rose Marie says. She is no
frustrated diva and she knows bet
ter than any one else what she can
do and how well she can do it. 81
like to do simple songs and comedy
numbers. I'm really all right with
comedy stuff"
Unmarried, but with a boy friend
in Chicago, Rose Marie lives with
her father, who has been travelling
with her since she first began ap-
pearing in public. In her early days
Papa Curley had frequent brushes
with the law upon complaints from
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children and once had
to pay a $50 fine for allowing the
5-year-old child to appear in a
floor show at the Hotel New Yorker.
In Special Sessions Baby Rose
Marie offered to sing for Judges
Healy, Direnzo and Vorhees to
prove what an asset she was to
Manhattan's night life, but the
judges ruled otherwise, saying, how
ever, she might broadcast.
The engagement at the Versailles,
where she appears twice nightly, is
the first big break of her adult ca
reer and Rose Marie is making the
most of it. Judging from her recep-
ton, the Versailles patrons think
this more than good enough.

Easter Eggs
For Cante en-

Hard-boiled eggs, colored for
Easter, are requested by the serv-

the eggs serving g dual purpose of
providing a decorative bit of Easter
for the men who patronize the can
teen, and also as something good to
eat
If everyone who is coloring eggs
for Easter would take Just two or
three to the canteen, the supply
would be ample and would not only
serve to celebrate the day a bit
for these men, far from home, but
would help OF. with the food sup
ply as hundreds are expected this
weekend. Hardboiled eggs, when
ever served, meet with great pop
ularity, and will be more than ap-
preciated. Those willing to do this
are asked to leave the eggs at the
canteen.
