dozen exceptions motably two

Victory Committee may some day
see fit to make public their names
Hollywood boys and girls responded
in a heartening manner. All of
them were eager to do something.
Time, money. talent-all were on the
block waiting for orders.
However, about half the volun-
teering actors did so with great fear
In fact, many were scared to death.
Many of them had never faced an
audience before. It's one thing to
recite into a mike and make some
passes before movie camera, and
quite another to get out in front
of throng of people and do some
thing spontaneous-espe when
those folks out front have been be-
lieving all that stuffy publicity.
Il Can'ts" Were Many.
II can't sing. I can't dance. l
can't even tell joke without fun
bling the point all over the place"
This, in substance, was the terror
stricken complaint of great many
willing actors.
So. right there and then the Vic
tory Committee, which, you should
know. is the screens free talent pool
supplying stars for USO camp shows
for Government broadcasts, Treas
ury bond tours and all sorts of char
ity efforts in connection with the
war, decided it would have to open
a special department-one designed
to brighten up the movie stars
and dispose of a lot of inferiorlty
compleXes.
Actually, at its birth, it was a
pepper upper" department, 1t be-
gan to find out what the actors
could do that they didn't previously
know they could do. 1t suggested.
1t wrote up special acts and skits.
On the roster of this branch are
men who have spent their lives in
burlesque and vaudeville. In those
fields an actor must be good and
must be versatile, or he walks the
streets 1t was these men that be-
gan to properly cast the uncertain
players in their war roles.

war, it is little amazing to review
the accomplishments of a lot of the
actors whose knees and teeth were
chattering when they first volun-
teered their services to the Victory
Committee. =
Now, She Will Sing.
Let's first take up the case of Kay
Francis. Did you know that she
could sing? No? Well, neither did
Kay herself-until a few months
ago You can blame the discovery
on doughboy from Brooklyn, one
of those Yank soldiers whose job
1t is to pummel Rommel in Africa
Now it's a pretty good bet Kay will
sing in her next movie.
This isn't a story about Kay
Francis, but we're going to continue
her case just few lines longer Kay
started her career as a stooge for
the four Marx brothers. Coming to
Hollywood she became a dramatic
actress and won stardom. Like
many another patriotic star, Kay
reported to the committee to find
out what she could do to help win
the war. ,
But I feel so helpless" said Kay.

sometimes both. Their names and
faces are familiar to themselves and
to strangers. They represent what
is still called society,"" the legiti-
mate stage. Hollywood, big business.
They are there to see not only the
show but the other members of the
audience, and to be SEEN A handful,
the critics, are there to work.
There are New Workers who would
feel strangely ashamed if they
missed first night and had to go
to a, let us say. 10th night perform
ance. A few, through an arrange
ment with the managers of the play
houses, are assured the same seat
locations whatever the show: they
even attend the ones known in ad-
vance to have little chance of
success.
It's Ritual Now.
First nights in New York have
taken on the air of ritual. Police
men stand outside the theater to
prevent crowds from blocking the
way. The sidewalks are jammed
with autograph seekers, idlers,
passersby, and holders of the
cheaper seats who like to be felt
part of the whole curious business.
Every arriving car and taxicab. every
couple on foot, is scrutinized by the
autograph hounds.
Regular first-nighters greet one
another brightly. The air is filled
with the scent of perfume What
do you hear about it?" is a common
query, referring, of course, to the
play. There are knowing replies,
SNUG replies, cynical answers.
If it is an Alfred Lunt-Lynn
Fontanne or Katharine Cornell
opening, the majority of the orches-
ira seat occupants will be wearing
evening clothes. That goes for some
of the Gilbert Miller openings, some
Theater Guild and Shubert open
ings and some of the playwrights
company. Some members of these
first-night audiences dress for every
occasion.
First-night audiences are likely to
applaud bad shows, either because
they are on the free list or they
have money invested in the show or
know somebody who does. First
night applause may mean every
thing and nothing.
One night a few years ago, for
example. one of the most energetic
hand d-clappers in the audience was
the author. The play lasted three
nights.
Sometimes It's Fun.
On the other hand, there are Joy
GUS occasions, like the first night of
the Theater Guilds Oklahoma" or
the opening of THE Patriots" or
The Skin of Our Teeth" when
strange, high excitement pervades
the theater. A hit show is being
born, sand the pleasure is rare.
"Oklahoma" is one of the best in
stances of that. because advance rev
ports were quiet and the show burst
into full glory without much pre-
vious tub-thumping
Second-night audiences, to con-
tinue with the examination, are on
the quiet side. The policemen are
missing from the sidewalk; the
second-night critics are "the faceless
men," While all the flrst-string
