Lex Barker, former aid-de-camp
to Gen. Mark Clark, discovered this
week that studios can be generous
and that's why he got the role of an
infantry captain in High School

Goth Century-Fox Is making.
After two and one-half years over
seas as a captain, Barker returned
home recently with a medical dis
charge to discover that his "civvies''
had been destroyed by fire. In New
York he took a film test in uniform
and was signed to a term contract.
Arriving in Hollywood, he was asked
to appear for test wearing a busi-
ness suit, with a change to be
brought along.
Lex told the casting director it
would be impossible because he is
6 feet 4 in height and has to have
his suits tailormade. The six suits
he had on order wouldn't be ready
for 80 days.
Next day four suits with all &C
cessorieS arrived at Barker's apart
ment. 1t was the studios gift to an
ex-serviceman. Barker took the test.

HOLLYWOOD.
Personality parade: Jacqueline
White, attractive blond just turned
20, is further proof that Hollywood
makeup experts can perform just
about any type of grease paint
miracle. They are going to make an
old lady out of Jacqueline for one
of the most important screen roles
OF the year-that of Ma" Baxter
in "The Yearling."
Jacqueline is the Dresden china
doll type, dainty, fragile and blue
eyed. She looks like a high school
girl. AS a matter of record she
has just completed her studies when
an MGM scout signed her a couple
OF years ago.
When the studio launched its
Search Tor an actress to play the
embittered backwoods mother in
The Yearling," Jacqueline was the
last girl in town they might have
considered. She was a million miles
from the type"
But Jacqueline is ambitious and
has confidence in her ability to han
die an important part. To date she
had nothing more than a small role
In Song OF Russia" She grew more
and more impatient. She asked for
her release, but failed to get it.
Then she began mulling over that
Ma" Baxter part in the Margaret
klnnan Rawlings best seller. She
knew she could play it, but she won
dered about looking the part. Then
she consulted the makeup magi-
clans. They worked along with her.
All set now on the appearance
angle, she pursued Director Clar-
ence Brown around the lot, finally
catching up with him and asking
Tor test to do the mother role.
Mr.. Brown took long look at the
fragile-appearing blond beauty and
came forth with the old bromide,
Are you kidding?" Brown soon
found out the girls heart was set
on getting that test. He is a fellow
who will always take a chance, so
he decided to do it in this instance.
Brown made test of Jacqueline
that is now exhibit on the MGM
lot. She landed the role and will
play opposite rGegory Peck, named
to do the PA" Baxter part.
Naming pretty youngster with
virtually no film experience to such
an important role will doubtless
come as shock to readers of "The
Yearling." Ever since MGM put the
story back into production a few
months ago, letters and photographs
have been pouring in from fat, mid
dle-aged women in all parts of the
country who sought the role.
Casting of Peck is an additional
cross-up on the written pages. The
book character of "Pa" Baxter pic
tured him as little, crippled fellow
known as Penny" Peck is actually
6 feet 4 and is anything but Penny"
in appearance.
Concerning Jacqueline's test, Di-
rector Brown had this to say: "She
Is Ma Baxter, in spite of what con-
clusions you may have drawn from
the book. We didn't do it with mir
rors. We just mussed her up a little
and gave her the swamp atmos-
phere. She did the rest. I have a
hunch we're unearthing a great act
reSs."

1t is practice he started several
years ago when he, with John Ford
directing, made a picture called
"Stagecoach." It's leading player
was John Wayne, of whom virtually
no one except his immediate rela-
tives had heard at that time. Ex-
hibitors were pretty ruff1ed at what
they thought was Wanger's arro-
gance. Who was he, or anybody
else, to make a serious Western pic
ture without big name, and espe-
cially one that did not have an
overpowering love story running
through it?
Wanger answered them by turn
ing out to be the producer who had
made one Of the prize pictures of its
season. 1t did not make him a for
tune, but it contributed to his pre-
emlnenee as an entertainment
maker.
1t encouraged him recently to
turn out "Salome, Where She
Danced" and to keep him going on
the same theme with Canyon Pas
sage"
1t could be, of course, that some
day he will start interspersing his
sagebrush sagas with more things
like Foreign Correspondent"
Blockade" and several other types.
The prospect is remote, however,
and his public does not seem to
mind so long as the quality of his
preferred type of picture remains
where it is.

Wangers Westerns are none OF
your horse operas. They deal with
dramatic snatches of history, and
they never waste a shot merely to
add noise or excitement to a scene.
His faith in them is such that ne
defies the Hollywood rule that star
casting is imperative in such pic
lures. He takes any old or new
actor who happens to be handy.

EQUINE OWNERS
PROTEST RAISE

A recent proposal to raise
charges for stable hire at the
American Legion Stadium brought
delegation of horse owners be-
fore the meeting of the Board of
County. Commissioners yesterday
morning, at which time they plead
ed for the County to take action
toward lowering the rates.
Robert Tate, appearing in behalf
of the delegation, pointed out that
if the County persists in charging
the rates proposed, that l. j. SUIT
ton, engaged in renting horses at
the stadium, would be forced out of
business. 1t was his contention that
MIR. Sutton had been an asset 10
the community and that if he were
forced to leave, no one would be in
a position to take his place.
On the motion of Commissioner
Harry Gardner, it was decided that
a committee from the County
meet with a delegation of horse
owners to discuss the possibility of
arriving at a satisfactory rate for
stable rentals.
Heading the delegation at yester-
days meeting, D. C. North express
ed the opinion that Wilmington
could be developed into winter
resort for the training and breed
ing of horses, which would reflect
the economic Well-being of h e
entire community if prices were
made attractive. An investigation
of stable h G S made by the
group at Pinehurst, Aiken, Camden
and Wilson all showed that rates
at these places were more attrac-
tive than those proposed here. Mr..
North suggested that 81 a month
was a. reasonable charge for the
rental of the stables. ... ..'
Commissioner Trask said that
he thought the stables should be
self-supprting, but by no means
should be prohibitive.. The gen
era1 consensus of the commission
was that the rental price should be
sufficient to enable them to main
tain the repairs to the stables.

mors that Notre Danes Frank
Leahy was bending an ear to pro
offers, although somehow we just
can't imagine the gentle, soft
spoken young man in that setting
as ne seems more of the charac-
ter-building type who would get
his greatest pleasure in teaching
youngsters to play for the sheer
sport of the game rather than in
teaching seasoned veterans to play
for cash received.
When the a h e S departed
practically in squads after the
start of the war their jobs for the
most part were taken over by I'M
derlings and there was a little
sympathy for these fellows who
were lifted up by their bootstraps
knowing they would be let down
gently but firmly when the men
they succeeded returned.
1t now seems a lot of this SYM
pathy was wasted as some OF
these unsung fellows have done a
little better than all right with re-
sponsibility on their shoulders,
and some of them, in fact, have
been promoted to the Mr.. Big jobs
at other schools.
Notable among this latter group
is Ed McKeever, who went from
Notre Dame to Cornell. Carroll
Widdoes, who was elevated to
Browns job at Ohio State, and Ed
die Cameron, who was given the
stand in job at Duke during
Wade's absence, are examples of
assistants whose temporary head
coaching jobs became permanent
due to a change in plans of the
men they supposedly were tempo
rarily replacing.
