Director Tells
How He Spots
Future Stars

HOLLYWOOD - There is a
definite recipe for stardom, ac-
cording to Director Mervyn Le-
Roy, who has amazed more than
one young actor and actress at
first meeting by suddenly saying,
You are going to be star"
He did this with Clark Gable,
Lana Turner, Susan Peters, Lor-
eta Young, Olivia DeHavilland,
Van Heflin, and many other
famous screen name. Just recent
ly, after brief interviews with
two newcomers to the screen,
Phyllis Thaxter and Tim Muir
dock, he told them they would
Ce stars when the public sc S
them for the first time in Thirty
Second Over Tokyo"
Leroy claims to be no prophet.
He does not peer into a crystal
ball. A fifteen-rinute converse
ton is all he needs to reach 4
decision.
Emotion Necessary
Physical appearance doesn t
count" he said. The ability to
act is not important. The recipe
for stardom is within the indi-
vidual. Miss Thaxter read
dramatic scene to me from
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo"
Tears came to her eyes as she
read. She responded emotion
ally and naturally to the scene.
That is the essence of great act
ing, to make an audience feel
what you feel. Murdock had
never faced a camera until l
tested him. Yet he had poise.
When he spoke his lines, you
knew he was thinking, not just
mouthing words. He reminded
me a great deal of Clark Gable
when | first saw him"
Leroy has highly priced au-
tographed photograph of Gable
in his office, with an inscription
which reads, Dear Mervyn:
Here's thanks for your thinking
and believing l could make it.
Clark"
Was Sure of Lana
Lana Turner was fifteen when
she walked into LeRoy's office.
Looking back, he says, "She was
only kid, and a very different
Lana from today. But / knew
she would be a star. She had
histrionic warmth and person
ality. l did not think / was TAX
ing much of a chance when l
put her under personal con-
tract"
MY recipe for stardom," said
Leroy, lis simply this: If you
have talent and a heart, it will be
discovered. Great acting is not
acting. It is being natural. If
you have talent, let it express
itself naturally. Be yourself"

Beery Pert Upon
His 6lst Birthday

HOLLYWOOD-Veteran star
Wallace Beery was asked how
old he was. 1t was his birthday
and numerous inquiries as to his
age had come to the studio.
Tell 'em I'm thirty eight, "
Beery said. But if they don't
believe it, confess it's sixty-one,
and that l feel pretty spry and
pert"
Incidentally, M-G-M execu-
tives gifted Beery with an elab-
crate fisherman's tackle box.
And he's now spending time be-
tween scenes of his current STAR
rer, Gold Town" fashioning

paints a. gloomy picture. 1t says
in so many sequences: Things
are going to be terrible. And
you poor little GI's and war
workers know it, bless your
timid little hearts. But don't
tremble so. Big Business is sit
ting up nights and worrying for
you. We're getting postwar plans
ready and locking them in the
safe. Well do all we can to
cushion the shock-if the gov
ernment will let us by easing off
these huge taxes"
The brightest hope MT sees is
the reopening of the consumers
front. People will want auto
mobiles, cuum cleaners,
streamlined bungalows. If we
all throw in our war bonds may
be we can keep things going a
while.
Devastated Europe and China
is an MT flash memo that there
are some easy customers for con-
struction and gadgets in other
lands.
Wendell L. Willkie to the
MT camera is a stern man who
talks of heavier taxes. Vice
Pres. Henry A. Wallace smirks
yand says something about the
common man because it's expect
ed of him. The strong calm men
in this reel sit around conference
tables picking up the worlds S
busines again where it broke
loose from them.
March of Time hasn't a
thought of food needs of this
continent or others. Nor of
housing at the level where it will
shelter millions. Nor that peo-
Piles might develop some things
for their common good on the
IVA plan. Nor that all the
worlds economies have to be re-
vived together, and that there
will have to be give and take in
