It's tougher to find pretty girls with attractive, glowing personality. It's still more difficult to find girls like that who have pleasing voices. About 75 per cent of the candidates flop on dia- logue. And then comes the last hurdle—dramatic ability. It floors 95 per cent.” The eastern school gives each prospect at least six weeks of in- tensive training before deciding to put out the $500 to $1,000 it costs to give a screen test. Sometimes, with an exceptionally promising failure, it works overtime, or gives a second chance. Fred MacMurray had the looks and personality from the start, but he couldn’t begin to act. They kept him on. Fred still can't act, but-he makes a pretty good stab at it—and it’s people like MacMurray who justify the cost of the talent hunts. “It’s not This New York school sent Par- | amount people like Frances Farm- er, John Howard, Dorothy Lamour, Olympe Bradna, Eleanore Whitney and Louise Campbell.

LOUIS sur- | HILARIOUS FILM, 'SHE MARRIED AN ARTIST,' OPENS New Star Lllll Deste Co- Starred in Film with John Boles on Capitol Screen An extraordinary bit of news to-| day, is the fact that a foreign ac- tress, in her first Hollywood-made picture, has not been asked to run the gamut of despair, register ter-| ror, disillusionment, joy, wistful- ness, and passion in rapid succes- sion, and top the whole thing off| with a languid flutter of the eye-| lashes. The player who has been fortunate enough to avoid all this | is Luli Deste, the Viennese actress, who good-humoredly makes her| American debut in Columbia’s| charming romantic comedy “She| Married An Artist,” which thel Capitol Theatre, with a satisfied | chuckle, places on view tonight. Too, Miss Deste has been lucky in that her leading man is John | Boles, who is easily one of the screen’s more suave and engaging actors. ‘Together, they cavort' through a story of a famous French designer who comes to Am- erica to look up New York's most renowned commercial artist, Wwho paid rather close attention to her in Paris five years before The designier attracts the artist’s attention by directing a scathing blast against his work in a news- paper interview. Sore as the dickens, the artist dashes over to ask her | where she gets off. He's so angry, i fact, that he marries her. Now,| everyone knows that marriage is a pcor way to end an argument; it has, moreover, been rumored as a fairly sure method of starting one. Add to this an exquisite model who ! has been in love with the artist for | the fact that they spend honeymoon on a liner that| leaves port, one handsome | Frenchmar, and a possessive house- | keeper, and you have your choice | of reasons why this particular mar- | | riage should not be exactly serene. | THRILLER TYPE RAID NETS $8 NEW YORK, July 27.—It was a |regular movie style holdup—seven men, one at the wheel of a big limousine, one at the doorway of |the Rite-Way Laundry, Brooklyn, and five inside waving pistols and lucky not to shoot each other. | Everything, in fact, had been provided except the loot. When the five men came in they ordered Miss Lillion McGrath, the telephone operator, away from the telephone switchboard and demand- ed the combination to the safe.

Miss Martin, convicted on three counts of forging the name of her former employer, must serve nine months in the county jail, however. If she violates the strange ten- year probation order, Judge Scott set forth, she will be sent to the women’s prison at Tehachapi for from three to forty-two years. Public Payroll “Safest Place” NEW YORK, July 27.—Prof. Rob- ert E. Rogers of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who single- handed made commencement ad- dresses newsworthy, got in the news again with his latest speech. Said he, advising Rhode Island College graduates in Kingston: “Get on the public payroll. That will be your most secure and profit- able career in the future, supported by the rest of the rest of the popu- lation. “It is only another kind of dole, but you won’'t mind that, for it is about as certain as prophecy can lever be that the days of what has been called rugged individualism are over.” | Several years ago the professor |advised graduates to “be snobs” and | “marry the boss' daughter,” to in- | sure success. Then he amended that to, “Marry the boss’ stenographer instead; his daughter's broke.” - e METHODIST GUILD MEETING | A meeting of the Methodist Jun- ior Guild is scheduled for 7 o'clock this evening in the parlors of the Methodist Church.
