Gent by the name of Lyle
Bettger is a case in point. Cur
rently playing the heel with
Barbara Stanwyck in Para
mounts ''he Lie" Bettger was
tagged by studio executives who
watched him run through four
minute footlight chore in the
New York production, Love

He was brought to the Coast
for "The Lie" and on the basis
of his performance therein he's
been signed to an attractive con-
tract.
In the same film is John Lund,
whisked to Hollywood after his
impressive Manhattan perform
ance in "The Hasty Heart" Til
then John had kept busy on the
air and stage, writing as well as
acting, but he'd never even con-
sidered coming west to sell him
self cinematically. Hollywood,
instead, came to him-as it does
so often in it's endless search
for new faces and outstanding
talent.

himself with a new star on his

There's a widely held yet mis-
taken impression that studio
scouts sign every gorgeous gal
they see, whether she be cham
ber maid or society lass. Yet this
is so ridiculous as hardly to-
merit refutation, for Hollywood
is crowded with beauteous babes
unable even to get past studio
gateman.
Rather the industry looks to
the stage and radio for its lead
ing lights, and New York is still
the nations theatrical heart.

Last Saturday, several fam

gether for an old-fashioned
picnic. Each Of us brought
something for the lunch. And
by sharing what little work
was involved, we all had .
wonderful time.
Wherever good neighbors work
together, you see the same spirit
that made our "block picnic"
such a success. On a telephone
party line, for example. The
good party-line neighbor allows
some time between calls SO that
others have a chance to use the
line. He answers his own ring
promptly and never interrupts
when the line is in use, except to
make an emergency call.
It all comes down to the SIM
pie fact that consideration for
others is what makes others
eonsiderate of you. And on a
party line, that means better
service for everyone.
