Marion Talley {was on Stage 23, waiting for a {test. Would he go over right away, ybecause Miss Talley had only a {limited time in Hollywood and be- sides, the stage space would be |needed later in the day? Of course he would. Harry Buc- faquet is M-G-M's “test director.” | He used to be an assistant director, but for the last two years he has been making tests, and directing on {his own sometimes, as nmow with! {the “Chic" Sale one-reelers. But ‘mn tly what he does is directing, i tests. | Sings “Faust” i Marion Talley, the operatic prima | {donna, was waiting, in the cos- | tume of Marguerite in “Faust.” {with her was Herbert Stothart,| | the studio musical director, a piano | | accompanist, and the usual tech- nical crew. There had been no jume to assemble a symphony or- | chestra which usually helps singers | brave a test. | In less than four hours the Tal- {ley test was done. In that time ‘she had been recorded and photo- | graphed singing the “Jewel” aria | from “Faust” and a Victor Herbert | !tract which will bring the singer ’bac; for a picture this summer. Many Get “Jitters” Bucquet thinks Marion Talley iwas unusually courageous facing | the test camera for the first time. ‘Many players, even seasoned in | tilms, betray extreme nervousness on the test stage. Testing is goil | on, day in and day out, at all the studios. Two or three tests a day are made at M-G-M of new pros- Then there are end- role, | | pects alone. less tests for players to fit a for costumes, for make-ups, for |wigs. S0 he is used to it. But candidates for roles and contracts— { “The most difficult thing for them, says Bucquet, “is the men- !tal hazard. They know they are being tried out, that success de- pends on what they do before the camera in those moments of test- {ing. I have had actors become { hysterical, actress breaks into tears, under the strain. The funny thing is that these same players, once they are selected, may give fine performances. Knowing they have won out gives them the confidence that would be invaluable to them during the test. Sometimes excel- lence shines through eyes a bad test—they knew Robert Taylor was ! good material even though his test was bad. Clark Gable thought his first test was so poor he demanded a new one—but they put him into a picture instead. They knew.” MILTON BOTHWELL IS PILSENER AGENT; * BOCK BEER ARRIVES Milton Bothwell, wellknown Ju- neau resident, has been named local agent for Pilsener Beer, ac- cording to an announcement made today by W.
