Nonette Wins Her Sturdom
Playing Strenuous Role
By Mark Boron

the strain of this vigorous role in
Arms and the Girl" because her
mother started her on the vaude-
vile stage at the age of 4. She
was member of the "Our Gang"
juvenile comedy unit and she
played with Comedian Ben
Turpin, who taught her how to
cross her eyes for comedy effect.
II can cross one eye and make
the other look straight ahead"
Miss Fabray said. "Mr. Turpin
taught me that. 1t is all matter
of muscle control.
Everything takes study and
training in the theater. When /
fight the duel with swords against
my Hessian sweetheart in Arms
and the Girl I think I do it with
some skill. The reason I can do
it is that had national scholar
ship In Max Reinhardt's dramatic
workshop a few seasons ago.
There I had expert instruction in
dueling from some of the most
skillful duel masters in Central
Europe.
"As for the tumbling and wres-
ting on the stage in the scenes
of fighting during the revolution,
I learned to take tumbles with
out too many bruises when I was
dancer. Even with that train
ing I'm keeping a Scoreboard on
my total of black and blue marks.
And 1t appears that 1t should
reach a record score If Arms and
the Girl keeps bounding with the
enthusiasm we have had since the
opening"
Although now a star, Miss Fab
ray, like all of us, still has hous-
ing problems.
II rented six-room apartment
because it was the only apart
ment we could get" she said. But
I only had furniture for three
rooms, so we now have three
empty playrooms. What can you

leading lady who was married.
But those were the good old days.
Too Many Stars.
"The movies have created too
many stars. Films have made it
too easy for players to get to be
stars. On the stage you win your
audience in person, one show at a
time. In the movies, your per-
formance goes into 900 tin cans
and you cover the entire United
States in a single evening. Movie
players have been acclaimed by
millions of fans and pushed up to
stardom even after their options
were dropped by their studios.
They don't have actresses to-
day like the great Minnie Maddern
Fiske. And believe my own late
wife, Ivah Wills, was the stages
greatest Lady Macbeth, as well
as its finest Rosalind in AS You
Like IT." Katharine Hepburn is
playing her now very successfully.
Coburn still feels strongly about
the stage, and would like nothing
better than to do good Broadway
play once more. "And another
thing I'd like to do is go out on
the road with a revival of The
Merchant of Venice" says he,
"If could find the right girl to
play Portia."
Hollywood has been good to him,
says Charlie. when I came here
in October, 1887, I was prepared
to hate the place. I figured I'd
make one picture and rush back
to the stage. Instead, I found
the place wonderful. Hollywood
is extending my span on earth.
1t has given me a new interest in
life"
Dignity Is a Snare.

nah Theater in Savannah, Ga
He was manager of the theate1
when he was 18 and a full
fledged actor three years later.
He won an Academy Oscar in
1943 for best supporting role for
his performance in THE More
the Merrier." He is seen rarely
without his famous monocle and
cigar. His portly dignity and
outward austerity are snare
and deception, because he is a
kindly fellow with lively sense
of humor. He follows football,
boxing, baseball and hockey, in
addition to being a horse lover.
Although he is mistaken for an
Englishman frequently because of
his monocle. he was born in
Savannah.
Coburn and his late wife made
a lot Of money during the 30
years they played together on the
stage. earning $250,000 in one
season with the play, 1.-THE Better

For around 100000 a picture

scared the life out of you or made
you deathly i'll! That's why q
lot Of your favorite film personaIi-
ties buck up and torture them
selves more or less secretly for
their art-plus those fabulous pay
checks. But they are actually
human beings and suffer, at times,
just like the rest of us worka-
day mortals.
Comes the time, for instance,
when Jimmy Cagney goes to work
in one of those airplane thrillers
or a sea adventure tale. You
have no idea what the poor guy
goes through. In real life. air
travel makes Jimmy i'll, and, as
for boats, they're just plain ter
rible. His brother-manager Bill
asked Jimmy down to the Santa
Monica Beach one Sunday night
to eat on his cabin cruiser moored
there. The soft tapping of the
waves sent Jimmy to shore, vio-
lently Ill.
And then there's poor Rosalind
Russell, who suffers from claus
trophobia SO acutely that she can
remain in a cramped dressing
room only for brief periods at a
stretch. On the other hand,
Dorothy Malone must confne her
acting to the ground. She's an
acrophobia sufferer and working
on anything higher than 6-foot
platform gives her dizzy spells
that often end in complete black
out.

Allergies, of course, just hop

those susceptible to this food or
