 wonder how many of you re- member him. He was the winner of nationwide Search for Talent" contest in 1899. imagine when Arr cher won that contest he thought he had taken the big hurdle to success. I remember him very dis tinctly and was impressed by his appearance and obvious talent. I listened to the speeches made when he was chosen from large group of young people, and agreed that here was young man who should go places.
 He went places all right. But the path he was forced to travel through no fault of his own, led down rather than up. He was given smaller and smaller bits, finally dropped by the studio that had launched him with such acclaim, did a tour with stock company took anonymous parts on radio programs and was finally forgotten.
 That is, he was forgotten until he landed in New York and became a tremendous success in a smash musical hit, Now, John Archer IS again a sensation and the red car pets are out in Hollywood.
 In way, he is pretty lucky. No one can take credit for his success but Archer, himself. His has been no shortcut to fame, and I'll bet every time he walks into studio he will remember that its doors, now wide open in welcome, can very easily close tight against him.

MODERN ART

 I attended one of those modern art exhibits the other day, and knowing how difficult 1t is to understand those surrealistic paintings, I took Colonna along to explain the brush-work.
 Going to 8 modern art exhibit is really an interesting experience, but quite hard to describe It's a sort of crossword puzzle in tech- nicolor.
 Most of those modern paintings have unusual titles, and l even saw one there called Betty Grable." l couldn't understand 1t until the artist told me he painted it with leg makeup.
