John McCormack, as an actor, was not a talkie success, and if Lawrence Tibbett had had no more to offer than his baritone he would have followed the Irish tenor from the screen. Tibbett remained be- cause he is not only a vivid person- ality, but can act. Hence it is that in the present search for new screen talent, gen- eral in the studios, new faces are being sought rather than new voices. That doesn’t mean that the old beautiful-but-dumb type has a chance again, for it hasn't. -, — A definite eifort to train select- ed newcomers for the screen is |under way at one of the studios, and one of its important results | should be the elimination, for the first selected, of the constant dis- couragement which is the lot of most extra players. rs!
