Who Will Be Television Stars?

Miss Creore reminds: Movie actors
are only in the habit of doing few
lines at a time" So the legitimate
actors have the edge in this respect.
Actor On His Own.
Picture people also are used to
having every gesture decided by the
director. The television actor has
to make up his own business" 1t
seems that television directors divide
their attention between the cam
eras, light, and performances.
'Television is just as transient as
radio-one false move is recorded
forever" the actress said. TT isn't
like pictures where there are retakes,
or like the stage where Z mistake
won't be repeated in the next night S
performance"
From the artists viewpoint tele-
vision seems to offer more him
drances than radio, heretofore the
least attractive to actors of all me-
diums (because Of anonymity, no
audiences or applause in many
dramas.
It has been Miss Creore's expert
ence to spend a couple of days
memorizing part, couple Of hours
rehearsing in the intense heat of the
lights and find out after the show
that only the back of her neck could
be seen on the screen.

NEW io1e1A.
With Margaret Webster's produc-
tion-at the Alvin Theater-ot
Shakespeare's fantasy, '"The Tenn
pest" Broadway once again dons
the classic mantle and thereby ex-
plates such offenses against dra-
matte art as it has sponsored in the
season thus far.
It is thorough expiation, too. For
Miss Webster, with alluring artistry
of setting and action, has accom-
plished signal dramatic feat
something that Augustin Daily failed
to do in 1897, even with Ada Rehan
and which Walter Hampden, Louis
Calvert and Ranie Miranoff essayed
with no great success some 26 years
ago.
Fooling the Doubters.
Even ardent Shakespeareans were
doubtful that this fairy tale of heav-
lily medieval conception, redeemed
chiefly by the beauty of many of its
passages, could be projected across
the footlights with effect. 1t was
something, they believed, for the
study where the reader of sensitive
imagination must supply action and
background.
Now comes Miss Webster, arch
apostle of the bard, to demonstrate
that modern stagecraft can cope
with a poetic mood however elusive.
However ancient. The stunning set
tings she has contrived through use
of a revolving stage and lighting;
the engaging costuming and the CO.
operation of the players in lending
themselves vocally and physically to
her conception of this piece combine
to make an evening of which the
current theater can be proud.
All this is not to say that Miss
Webster's triumph will for long be
visible upon the boards OF the Alvin

HOLLYWOOD.

| Every once in a while, some one
calls me and asks me to write a
story about director. I usually say
No because I don't think the fans
are interested in directors. But
might be wrong. So here is story
about a director, one of the incest
and best, David Butler.
Dave has been in pictures more
than 80 years. He has been married
to the same woman for Is years. He
has lived in the same house in Los
Angeles since 1919. He directed five
Will Rogers pictures, five for Shir-
ley Temple. He made the first talk
| ing picture with Janet Gaynor. He
was the director for Judy Garland s
first feature film, "Pigskin Parade. .
He has done four Bob Hope Bing
Corsby pictures. And he used to be a
handsome leading man. So gather
round every one. I think We can
all learn something from Dave.
How to Become a Star.
The first question answered by
Mr.. Butler is old, but always in
teresting-"How to become a film
starr" Well, it seems that the chief
ingredient for film fame Is luck
Dave cites the case of Janet Gay
nor, who is now comfortably retired
on a million dollar fortune.
Janet was sitting in an office
waiting for some one. A director
looking for demure girl to play
the heroine in The Johnstown
Flood" walked in. Are you in pic
tures?" he asked her. Janet was an
extra. YES" she replied. He i'm
mediately signed her to a contract.
Her next, Seventh Heaven" lifted
her to the Hollywood heights.
Nowadays, of course, the boy OF
| girl who wants to be star must
have little more than luck to make
the grade, although luck is still the
door opener.
Next to luck" says Dave, "the
chief requisite for a film star is to
haye an unusual personality. If he
can read lines and can pay attention
and with good publicity-companies
spend from two to three million a
year advertising players-it isn't too
hard to get started. The difficult
part is to stay up there by hard
work and without swelled head.
The phoniest big star I ever directed
is now at Republic, where she be-
longs, making quickies. I told her
that's how she would end up"

monster, half man, theatergoers as
of today may find little or nothing
to allure. Just as in the more tan
gible interludes they may find the
love of Ferdinand and Miranda, and
the fortunes of shipwrecked Italian
mobiles and their retinue, matters for
indifference.
Z0rina Is Good Ariel.
Whether they do or not, here, at
the Alvin, is a thing of certain ap-
peal to a judicious minority. Vera

ture of light and air. If her singing

In "On the Town" Nancy plays

a good character inside that forged

can get consideration in his annual
gam sweepstakes, she must be able
to fit IN very close to the three
prime requisites on ankle, calf and
thigh.
They comprise: "a Eight-and-
one -half-inch ankle, "a l2h-inch
calf and CD 1912-inch thigh.
Willys. who outfits 80 per cent OF
the film capitals stars and featured
players with stockings, declares there
should be four inches between the
ankle and the calf, seven inches be-
tween calf and thigh and that Miss
Moore fits these requirements pre-
cisely.
Miss Moore was first discovered
by Hollywood when a talent scout
heard her singing at Dallas radio
station. He asked her to come up
for test. She replied that she
wouldn't think OF going all the way
to California without a contract.
The contract was promptly produced
and Connie found herself in the

The 1.-THE Miss Moore, who heads

her legs in top shape by strenuous
dance routines. but between pictures
she does home exercises that any
one may utilize. She picks up mar
bles with her toes, thus developing
muscles throughout the legs. pulling,
strengthening them gently, and
keeping her pinup pins in champion
ship shape.

three-month course, If rigidly pur-
sued, will show amazing results in
nine out of ten cases.
In addition to the marble routine
for the toes, as followed by Miss
Moore, WHY'S sets forth these simple
exercises as sure-f1re leg beautiflers:
l. Stand In bare feet, legs to-
gether, toes pointing straight ahead.
Then bend ankles outward, continu-
ing two or three minutes.
2. In bare feet walk pigeon-toed
