EXTRA! MIDN!G.IZI’I‘ PREVIEW MARCH OF TIME “ARMY GIRL” NEWS Ho";wood Sights And Sounds By Robbin Coons HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Aug. 15.—If you saw Vincent Price in “Service De Luxe” with Constance Bennett last year, you Know he is a brunette. You think he is. That's because he is so tall —6 feet 4 inches. He is as blond, actually as Connie Bennett. His height made him a brunette—he was always above the range of the lights which were arranged for the star, so far above the wonder is that he was photographed at all That height is the thing that gets him down about picture- acting. On the stage (where he was Helen Hayes' Prince Albert in the original Broadway production of ‘Victoria Regina™ he didn’t mind. In pictures, he gets a form of claustrophobia, trying to toe the little white lines on the sound stages. It's because his feet are so far down, toeing the camera marks, that it makes him sevt of dizzy. He wants to break away and run. On “Eliza- beth > Essex,” however, he had plenty of tall company, notably in Erroll Flynn, who is 6 feet 2. tale. there How he came to “Victoria Regina” is an interesting Hailing from S* ~ouis, Price went to Yale and finished in 1933.

Rooney, both veterans of the screen, | are united for the first time in| “Stablemates,” a melodrama of the | race track. The picture ends at the | Capitol Theatre tonight. The story, a dramatic unfolding of the friendship which exists be- | tween a once famous veterinary an(” a stable boy, has the flavor of “The Champ,” the memorable picture which starred Beery with Jackie Cooper. | Beery plays the role of the veter- inary, in trouble with the lw, who comes to the aid of Rooney when | the boy becomes the owner of a | thoroughbred. Offering opportuni- | ties for broad comedy and some | starkly dramatic scenes reminiscent | of his characterizations with Marie Dressler, it is a tailor-made role for Beery. | Rooney, who is the latest star on the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer roster, has a role which tests his versatility and acting ability. Differing in every respect from his characterization in the Judge Hardy Family series, his | portrayal of a stable boy demands | understanding and an appreeiation | of dramatic values. l In the supporting cast are Arthur | Hohl, Margaret Hamilton and Mar- ! jorie Gateson.

And so it came about that when “Victoria Regina” was first projected at the Gate, the managers offered him the role of Albert to Pamela Stanley’s queen. He faked the accent by copy- ing those of all the German friends he'd made, and he clicked in the part. Gilbert Miller bought the play for Helen Hayes, took Vincent Price along, and thus gave him a Broadway debut. “Mr. Miller’s office had the reporters and photographers at the boat when I docked,” he recalls ruefully, “but the effort was wasted. I was paying my own way, and I got off with the second- class passengers at the other end of the boat. I went around to the Miller office and I couldn't get in, which erippled my ego. An hour later Mr. Miller himself came out, fired the reception clerk, hired her right back, and I went to work.” For more than a year Price has been married to Edith Bar- rett of the stage, and they've been exchanging visits. He isn't married to Hollywood, by any means. (“T like it—but I think the stage is more adventurous.”) He goes next into “The Invisible Man' Returns,” in’ which he probably will play the title role, as a voice without a body during much of the film.

In 1885 he arrived to work at the old Treadwell. From the plains of Minnesota he came, to pretty much all forest here. To look at the new prospective homesites along the Douglas high- ! way where trees are being slashed and the ground cleared to allow sufficient space for houses that are planned, gives an idea of what Doug- las was like back in 1885. Only difference is the new homes along the highway will have electric lights and a good water system that is already in with a 150,000 gallon tank full of water ,according to Frank Foster. Then there is the fine highway bordering those lots being sold in the Nowell Addition where not a single road existed on the Island when Tom first ar- o'~ | rived. | Next year, following his arrival came John McWilliams, oldest resi- dent on the Island. Tt was in 1888 that he arrived from Ohio, and here he still has his home; at the age of 84 he is still active, both in mind and body. Only last month he completed an addition to his cabin to afford him more comfort- © | able living quarters.
