Studio with “Espionage Agent,” the sencational | film starring Joel McCrea and Brenda Marshall which opened yes- terday at the Coliseum Thetre, Since it takes a certain amount of time to get a picture to’ the screen after the last shot has been filmed, it is certain that “Espion- jage Agent” was written and pho- tographed before the outbreak of the European war, and yet it ap- | plies with vivid authenticity to the i situation in which the United States finds itself today — the powerful neutral in world of | warring nations. There is an unusual love story| involving Joel McCrea as a young “career man” in the flmlom‘ service and Miss Marshall as @ | homeless, orphaned girl who has becon the tool of a foreign spy ring. The young diplomat marries the girl, and then he is forced to | resign from the service when the truth about her past comes out - WHY DID DR. KILDARE TURN TRAITOR TO THE MAN HE IDOLIZED? Solution o!

It's practically impossible not to see him. He found it in the play “Oscar Wilde,” but before that, for and yet he had to find his showcase before eeh town could see all his massive hulk, he got fewer jobs in Hollywood than a reasonably lucky midget could expct. A midget, at least, could slip through a studio gate. Cregar, standing six feet 3 inches and weighing some 303 pounds (a point on which he’s sensitive) couldn’t slip through anything, which means he got into pictures on acting. But not without a struggle. You'll find him now on the stages of “Hudson’s Bay,” wear- ing a heavy beard and the buckskins of a Canadian frontiersman. It's his first movie, hut_his role is practically as good as Paul Muni's. He'll be 'wearing beards (he expects) for quite .a while yet, because his faee isn't as yet aged enough for the characters he must play. He's newly 24, a year younger than Orson Welles, To begin where he did, Cregar went to Philadelphia public schools until he was 8, then to prep schools in England. That's where he decidegd to become an actor, and he stuck to it in American prep schools. He acted and wrote plays (one a revue for which he even designed the costumes). When he left school, at 14, he got intp stock around Philadelphia — successfuly enough to win a scholarship to the Pasadena Community Playhouse. After training he returned to Philadelphia, found actors overly abundant, and settled for a spot in the Federal Theatre.

From September to April, 1940, he worked a total of five days in pictures, and that was all. “I tried to get any kind of work -— digging ditches, dish- washing, anything,” he says. “I finally even tried to get on rlief, but was disqualified. Icouldn't collect unemployment insur- ance, for while I had earned the necessary $300, it hadn't been within the required period. Without kind friends, I'd have starved. Yes, it’s true — I was sleeping in the back seat of a friend’s sedan, eating where T could, before ‘Wilde.'” “Wilde” was his own idea. Having read the play, he set out to find a producer, and Arthur Hutchinson was his man. Cregar as Wilde zot rave notices, but no immediate studio bids. .The play here was no great financial success, but Cregar ate regu- larly jagain. /nd finally the studios stepped in — five offers at once. For #il his size, Laird is soft-voiced and humble before his curren’, kood fortune. Independent, though, for he rejected a stufio which would have paid $50 a week more in favor of one in which he “felt comfortable.” The other, he said, reminded him of a prison, He wants to act for a long while, then write.

The first Mrs. Fite, whom he married in Mississippi when she was 12, died when he was 19. She told him to “go marry some good girl and keep the children together,” and a month later he fulfilled her re- right. “All 168 of our children—10 girls and 6 boys—are happily married. There have been no di- vorces among them. “When I raised the girls, I taught them to go to church and Sunday school as long as they were under my care and keep- ing. “I taught them to take care of the house, so they could make RN/ 4NN/ AR Ruth Allen Is Now Enrolled in College in lowa Legion Auxiliary M new arrival weighcd five pounds 10 ounces at birth.

We'd have better girls to- day if they were raised like mine, “My girls were not allowed to go to dances; if they wanted to ride home from church with boys they had to be chaperoned. When boys came calling on 'em, they sat in the parlor with the window shades up. My father taught me that way and I latht them that way. If more families were raised like that, there wouldn’t be so much divorce. “One of my girls married when she was only 11; another one was 12 and another 13, but they are married happily. That speaks pretty well for young marriages, doesn’t it? ! “And another thing—everybody ought to raise some children. It brings love into the home. When I first married, I didn’t know what ! love was, but when the first child was born, I couldn’t keep away from the house. 4 “And don’t be worried about the size of the family. Every time a child came, I wondered how on earth I'd feed it, but I always did. “It always gave me a thrill to sit at the head of the table and look down it and see all those kids waitin’ to eat.”. —W.

Fite, who turned from Mississippi farming to running a grocery store, went to Texas in 1926. He ran a filling station and cafe for a time, but has re- tired to live off income from investments and property, and from occasional work on the Houston docks to “keep near my boys, most of whom are longshoremen.” At Christmas in 1935, he fed turkey to 107 sons, daughters, in-laws, grand- children and friends.
