Lucas today. De- cision to hold thv meeting was Hollywood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons of Bodding, HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Nov. 15—Hollywood never turns its searchlight off. You can count on it. Year in, year out, the town is search- It wouldn’t be Hollywood without a search. Latest face the light shone on, with triumph, Toler’s. Why they had to search for Toler, who's been around nearly ten years making movies, is inexplicable, except in Holly- wood. They had tested 34 actors to replace Warner Oland as Charlie Chan before Toler. It just happened that Sol Wurtzel saw him at the right moment. So it develops that a Scot will take up where a Swede left off—in playing a Chinese. The searchlight still plays on, however. It has found a Chan, but what about a Tarzan junior? Metro wants a 5-year- old who can swing from trees, rassle animals, swim and cut up like his screen da Johnny Weissmuller. ing. was Sidney 1dy The grandma of all searches, by now, is Selzhick’s. He's been looking for a heroine for that Civil War novel whose name eludes me presently. Gable’s the hero, of course, and Norma Shearer was the gal—but only temporarily. Until Selznick names Lom- bard or Pauline Goddard finally, you can say the search is still on. If you care to say. It’s a funny thing, but Holywood’s searchlight always, in the end, gets its man, girl, or child. It has to succeed . Somebody always plays that part. And it has started many a career. Weissmuller's was one. Weissmuller hasn’t played any but Tarzan roles, but he seems to have made it impossible for any- one else to play the ape-man. Glenn Morris, another searchee, lasted as ape-man only briefly. Swimmer Larry Crabbe, when he was plain “Buster,” left the water for the studios because Paramount needed a Lion Man. DINNER is the highlight of the day when it is prepared by the master chefs and served excellently, amid the sparkling surroundings of the new PERCY’S For long now, Larry’s been out -of the jungle. Gail Patrick, a runner-up in another search—for a Panther Woman—never got into the wilds at all but has done better in pictures than Kath- leen Burke, who won the contest. The same studio covered every state and many foreign countries in its Search for Beauty. A dozen movie recruits came to Hollywood as certified Beauties. Today only one, Colin Tapley, is left at Paramount. Another, going over to Warner Bros., became a star, Ann Sheridan. P e Jon Hall in “The Hurricane” was the result of an informal though wide search. Another search product is attracting atten- tion during shooting of “The Pure in Mind” at RKO. He’s Roger Daniel, an orphan boy from nearby Glendale. This is his first big role. In the same picture is Anne Shirley, who was the answer to prayers for an “Anne of Green Gables.” In “Angels With Dirty Faces” there’s a ‘“young Cagney” whose resemblance in appearance and speech to the one and only Cagney is amazing. He's a searchee, too. He'd been in train- ing for the role for four years, although neither he nor the studio knew it until the call went out. Frankie Burke had’given up hope that his ability to impersonate Cagney would land him in films. He was a hotel bell hop in Las Vegas when he heard about the picture opportunity. It looks from this end, though, as if he’s had his day in the sun—unless they write more film stories requiring juvenile Cagneys.

(FIFTH SERIES) Prepared by the Bureau of Research and Education, Advertising Federation of America What Is Business? Number 6 Exactly what do we mean by the term “business?” Try to explain fully and com- pletly just what business is, and you will discover that you are explaining the out- standing facts of American life. In explain- ing business, you go a long way toward ex- plaining what made this country the best place in the world to live in. We in the United States are only 7 per cent of the world’s people. We own half of all the wealth in the world. We have 71 per cent of the world’s automobiles, 52 per cent of its telephones and 40 per cent of its radios. How did all this come about? Why is the standard of living in America higher than anywhere else? Why are we so well off that we consume one-fourth of all the sugar produced in the world, one-fourth of the coffee, and three-fourths of the silk? Why do we use one-half of the world’s pro- duction of coal, and one-half of all the elec- tric power? All for a mere 7 per cent of the world’s population! If you provide a complete answer to all these questions, you will also have given a good answer to the question “what is busi- ness,” for it is through the workings of busi- ness that America has won economic leader- ship. Without our highly developed business mechanisms, 45,000,000 * willing workers could never have produced our unparalleled standard of living, not even if all the earth’s riches were beneath our soil and if all our farm land were the most fertile in the world. Collectively, business is merely the pro- duction and exchange of commodities. Indi- vidually, businesses in this country are a mil- lion separate enterprises, producing, selling, and transporting things, and financing the flow of trade. Business men are the people who make a living by conducting these mil- lion seperate enterprises and who take the risks of owning them. From the corner gro- cery to the big steel company, each inde- pendent unit in our business system is work- ing hard for that success which can be gain- td only by serving and satisfying its cus- tomers. Business is good when these one million separate businesses are busily making and exchanging their products. They do this when costs and prices are in proper balance, and when the existing purchasing power is actively bemg used by consumers and by industries in buying from one another. Businesses stimulate buying activity by offering better manchandise and more atrac- tive values, and by advertising them widely. This is the way all new industries have been built. It is the way business operates nor- rhally in building prosperity. Whatever else may have helped, the Am- erican spirit of business enterprise has been the mainspring of our progress, aided at every point by the use of good advertising in - distributing the' products of industry. The high standard of life in America is an achievement of business, and it is not the nature of business to be satisfied with past performances. The imagination is challenged by goals of the future.
