Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, So-and-so hasn't a chance. He’s either being given a few days’ work by a director who remem- bers when, or he's taking the work cure. Actors, no matter how well-heeled they may be, are just like the rest of us in getting bored with idleness. All the same, there have been some real comebacks this year, although not one rose from the extra rank John Barrymore never really left the screen, but it was all set to leave him until he crashed through in “True Confession,” as an eceentric comedian. Since then J. Barrymore has had more big-time jobs then he could fill, and he’s clicking in everything he does. Le Ayres, a juvenile star after “All Quiet on the Western Front,” kept on losing ground, tried directing for a while, and this year—with “Holiday”"—found himself as a character lead. He's been going great guns. You've beem seeing George Bancroft again lately, notably in get full enjoyment from this holiday season. Dine where you can beé sure that your er will be the best that expert epare, where service “Angels With Dirty Faces.” George left pictures as a star—he was a topnolcher of a decade ago—and he stayed clear of them, or vice versa, until a couple of years ago. He's back not as a star, but as an important character player. Fay Bainter's a comebacker, too, if you count that one talkie of a few years back that she'd rather forget. “White Banners” brought her back from the stage. And Nancy Carroll, the romantic star of a few years ago, played a classy heavy in “There Goes My Heart,” and she played a sweet gal—also class—in “That Certain Age,” all of which may add up to a serious comeback. " There’s Harry Langdon, once the child-faced comic of the silents, Harry previewed his comeback in “There Goes My - Heart,” not even billed in the cast. Another one-time favorite, Helen Twelvetrees, can be found— in the feminine lead—on the “Me and My Gal” set. Buck Jones is the star—but this isn't a western. One of the biggest, in her day, was Evelyn Brent. Famous and rich, top. There'’s a game girl, neither famous mor rich now, but in there fighting. She came as close as anybody to starting again from scratch in the most minor roles. But now she has worked her way up to substantial leading parts, the latest in “Law West * of Tombstane.” And here’ comeback Im looking forward to—Dick Barthel- i mess’s. Barthelmess has been taking things easy, but he isnt the i type who can retire permanently.
