A NEW physical test for AVA
~ tors has been developed by
Drs. Gregory Pincus and Hud-
son Hoaglsnd of Clark Univer-
sity, Worcester, Mass, it was
learned today.
This is a chemical test which
shows how much and how
quickly a condition OF strain and
Aess and fatigue develops,
Yer flying conditions, in a
particular individual.
The principle involved Is this:
Under ailment, fatigue, extreme
cold, low oxygen and other cir
cumstances which constitute a
strain on a person. there is pc
culiar disturbance Of the adre-
nal cortex gland.
This gland. known as the
"gland of life" - because some
chemical substance, a powerful
hormone, secreted by it is abso-
lutely essential for life-is only
the size of lima bean In man.
it is attached 10 the kidney;
the cortex is the outer, rind por.
ton.
THE changes due TO unpleas-
Il ant circumstances are these:
First. the adrenal cortex gland
becomes greatly ctive and
pours out It's hornone chemicals
abundantly; then, IT becomes
more and more inactive.
In some way, not yet clearly
understood. the special chemical
drugs produced by this gland
help in keeping a human being
healthy and fit. Reduction in its
output means lowering of resist
ance to cold, disease, wound or
low oxygen.
The Clark University scien-
lists have found a simple and
rapid way Of estimating the
condition of the adrensl cortex
gland.
They measure certain sub
bees known as 17-ketoste-
IS, which are derived from
the glands hormones.
These substances are found
IN the normal waste fluid from
the kidney. A small specimen
Of the fluid is all the scientists
need for the test

'Claudia' Now Discovers Hollywood
She Is Dorothy MCGUIRE, and She Finds Place
An Odd One for Pretty Direct Girl

Five years ago the Irish lass also
headed for Broadway, and after an
initial nop in Bachelor Born" she
was hired by Jed Harris to under
study Martha Scott in "Our Town"
Martha left for Hollywood, and Dor
othy took over. After a spell on a
radio show she was hired for the
John Barrymore play, my Dear
Children" She still is bit dazed
from this experience.
1T was mad company" she tells
me. Such hectic fun! But learned
how not to anticipate cue. There
was time when he didn't know his
lines. I waited and waited and
finally turned around which was
what I had TO do after he had
spoken his lines. He glared at me
and said, right out to the audience:
All right, now We'll do the whole
thing again, and this time don't
anticipate your cue!'
Another time, when I was ner-
vous and flddling with my bag, he
stopped in the middle of the play
and growled at me! Unfortunately
at that time I was so serious about
myself. I thought I was a great
actress and I didn't quite see the
humor of it. But Mr.. Barrymore,
with all his clowning. was still mag
nificent. His curtain speeches would
get the audience under his spell no
matter what had gone before. I
was sorry when he died. I never
thought he would die-ever!'
A few months after Miss Nc
Cures smash hit as Claudia in New
York she was signed by David Selz-
nick to repeat her role in the movie.
The play was not expected to last
more than few months, after which
the movie would be made. But it is
still going strong and another act
ress has now taken over the role
to enable Goth Century-Fox which
has taken over most of Selznick's
motion picture properties, to begin
the film.

The trend began two or three
years ago when the studios were
shocked to discover that people like

fans who would paw to see them,
Up to that time. Hollywood had
treated radio entertainers as STEP

The pictures these stars made
were low budget affairs. for the most
part, yet they showed comfortable
profits. They are now a regular fix
ture of scheduled productions. And
Hollywood has begun to inquire
more thoroughly into the men be-
hind the dial.
1t has found, among other things,
that radio actors are not old geezers
with peculiar facades. They chose
their medium because thev liked it,
not because they lacked the beauty
to face camera. Many are young
and decidedly attractive.
An Increasing Surge
The upshot is that the last two
years have seen constant testing
and signing of radio actors by the
movies. Hans Conried of Arch
Oboler's and Orson Welles' shows
has contributed character bits par
excellence Edmund Macdonald,
who used to work with Edward G..
Robinson on the air, is playing leads
in BIS and is slated for better things.
Will Wright, another Robinson
alumnus. is raking in nice pin
money doing elderly bankers. You've
seen him in the "Blondie' series.
Carleton Young whose voice was
last heard from New York on the
"Commandos" show, has just been

Thespian Davies
Botched a Line,
But Smoothly
They Called Him Joe
After Curtis Found
Diplomat Game
HOLLYWOOD,

HULL Z WOOD.
Joseph E. Davies, former Ambas-
sador to Russia and to Belgium,
former Democratic National Com
mitteeman from Wisconsin and
Commissioner of Corporations un-
der President Wilson, recently made
his debut as an actor and had fun
doing it.
Because Director Michael Curtiz
was apprehensive lest an audience
might disconcert Davies, the stage
at Warner Bros. was closed to all
visitors while the diplomat was
filmed delivering the prologue to the
screen version of his important
book, Mission to Moscow"
Otherwise, cast and crew treated
the distinguished Thespian just as
though he were Walter Huston, who
portrays him in the film, or Hum
phrey Bogart, or even Abbott and
Costello, it was that informal.
Assistant Director Frank Heath
set the pace. Davies was two min
utes late arriving on the set. Heath
greeted him with the stern admo-
milton, you'd better get here on
time, if you want to be in this pic
ture."
Curtiz put the diplomat through
a number of rehearsals. "One more
rehearse" is the Curtiz war cry.
Davies, one of Americas most eIo-
quent platform speakers and a
trial lawyer of renown, gave Curtiz
but scant chance to do any directing,
at that.
Elaborate Preparations.
Prop Man Limey Plews had a
plaque, bearing the name Joseph
