BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

The talent search as a means of
attracting public interest turns up
with constant regularity out in
Hollywood. The most famous, per-
hapS, was the hunt conducted for
Scarlet O'Hara, during which hun
dreds of young movie hopefuls were
tested for the leading role in "Gone
With the Wind" Currently there
is considerable ado in the film CAPT.
tai over the casting of the central
role in Forever Amber"
Locally, just to prove that Holly
wood does not have monopoly in
this sort of thing, the Jarvis Roper
tory Theater is about to conduct
city-wide search for a girl to play
the leading role in "Pygmalion," its
next production. The group, which
staged Outward Bound" at the
Wardman Park Theater a week ago,
and with considerable skill, accord
ing to all reports, will present the
George Bernard Shaw play at the
same place for one week starting
February Is.
Before this, however, the group
has to have an Eliza Doolittle; thus
the talent hunt. She may be, says
the theater, "a Government girl,
model, the girl at the cigar stand,
a college dramatic student, or the
bright-eyed miss next door, whom
every one calls stage struck"
There will be public additions, at
dates to be announced sometime
soon, where girls who have a yen
to play Eliza may display their
qualifications for the role before
the Jarvis groups directors and
other judges. The repertory COM
pany hopes a number of local girls
who might turn out to be pretty
and talented Elias will turn up.
Present plans call for making the
final selection of the lass who will
play the role sort of popularity
contest, with newspaper readers and
radio listeners doing the balloting
FiVs girls, who seem handsome
enough and talented enough, will be
selected by the judges, the five then
to addition in competition over a
local radio station
The winner, in addition to appear
ing in "Pygmalion, will win trip

by an expert, Gertrude Lawrence,

Shaw drama.

to produce her second comedy fol
the legitimate theater, but more
than that she has just sold her first
original screen story to the movies
1t is also in a light-hearted spirit
in spite of a foreboding sounding
title, THE Art of Murder"
When Miss Gordon let this COM
mentator in ON the secret that SHE
was through with acting-really
through with tit was not an an.
nouncement to take without a touch
of aSperity.
"Why?" we asked, as sharply as
one speaks to so pleasant and tai
ented person.
Because I want to write" Miss
Gordon said. Writing is easier
1t wouldn't make bit of difference
to me as writer if I had this case
of laryngitis. 1t makes a lot of diff
ference to me as an actress. Fur
thermore, writing is lot more
profitable.
Miss Gordon had two good points
there. The latter was especially
good. She had just sold the screen
rights to over 81" after having
collected two seasons of royalties on
it as play, and the price was ire
mendous even for the movies,
which handy money about as if it
were words.
You'll miss the theater," we said.
I'll be IN the theater-but as a
writer" Miss Gordon said.
You'll be letting your public
down." was the next suggestion.
I'll be doing nothing of the kind,
Miss Gordon replied. 'I'll be work
ing for the same public, the one
that goes to the theater and the
movies"
Everything you write won't be
easy to sell, not this easy" we said
I've had failures before" Miss
Gordon said.
The funny thing is that she has
not had any since she stopped being
an actress and began to be a writer
Apparently she is as good at the
latter as she was at converting an
understood and not beautiful New
England girl into a great actress
when few of her fellow mortals
thought that could be done.

1t is full of the spirit of largesse
that movie theaters will be or
