Getting Into Movies Is Not An
Easy Job, Says Talent Director
By OLIVER HINSDELL
Every day, I receive letters from
boys and girls from all parts of the
country asking one question:
"How can I become an actor?"
The bulk of these letters come
from boys and girls in colleges and
universities and doubtless are in-
spired by published statements that
the acting profession is the highest
paid and the least crowded profes-
sion in the country.
Fundamentally, the statement is
true, but the qualifications that
should be published with the state-
ment rarely appear. Thousands of
youngsters are given their chance
before the cameras every year. A
pitifully small number of them have
that mysterious something which
causes them to "click Xo talent
scout knows exactly what that some-
thing is, how to acquire it or even
whether the prospective actor has
it.
However, the cameras are insatia-
hie and Hollywood is constantly in
search of talent. Frankly, I believe
that the university students, if they
get their training in Little Theatres
and the studio dramatic clubs, will
be the main source of supply for
actors in the future.
But here are some of the ques-
tions most commonly asked in let-
ters to me, and my answers to them:
Aspirant: What is my chance of
being seen by a talent scout ?

Attention
A notice from the power
plant recently stated that the
students here are using en-
tirely too much electricity.
Last year, when we received
all-night lights it was only
temporary. The privilege was
wholly experimental.
If students are not more
careful to cut the lights off
when they leave their rooms,
we will be denied the privilege
of having lights at all times.
Please be more conservative
in yonr use of electricity.

The teacher from Black Creek
reports that she had worlds of new-

reading, to carry back; that it was
really amazing to find how quickly
they felt at home on the campus;
and that she found the atmosphere
at the college the most congenial
she has seen in a long time.
One of the student teachers reports
that she found the children in her
grade to be the quietest she has ever
seen, and there seemed to be no
discipline problems. This, she
thought, is because the teaching is
more formal, and without much
directed activity.
This is the third time an exchange
of this nature has been worked out
with the Wilson County schools, the
other two times being with Lucama

Xow, I haven't seen it with my
own little eyes . . . but I've been
told that Dr. Haynes is quite an
excellent tennis player. They say
he can teach most any of the young
squirts on the campus a thing or two
about court play.
sumed, the Buccaneers showed a j that particular line of physical en
nice offensive in spots and gradually
closed the gap in the scoring. The
game became fast and rough in the
closing minutes and the Pirates
showed more ability in sinking their
shots than they exhibited in the
first half to gain on their opponents.
However, the visiting quint was suc-
cessful in freezing the ball to a cer-
tain extent and the final gun found
the Belmont Abbians with a five
point lead.
Bill Shelton and Jim Johnson led
the Pirates' attack with 9 and 8
points respectively. Kelly Martin
also contributed materially to the
offensive tactics of the Buccaneers
with six points to his credit. Cour-
turier, Belmont Abbey forward,
shared high scoring honors of the
game with Shelton by rolling up a
nine point total.

evened t
leather at his opponent that he was
awarded the bout on a T.K.O. in the
second stanza.
Perkins, Pirate 185 pounder,
gained a clear-cut decision over R.
Wyndam and floored his opponent
three times, but was unable to put
the A.C.C boy down for the full
count.
Mattox of A.C.C. and Moore of
the Buccaneers fought a close bat-
tle in the 145 pound division with
the decision going to the visiting
battler.
The fans saw a first round knock-
out in another 145 pound fight as
Lewis, A.C.C. put Djoevenitus to
the canvas for the full count. The
E.C.T.C. boy took several terrific
blows about the head and was un-
able to shake them off.
Breece and Johnson put up the
most interesting bout of the evening
with the decision clearly going to
the Pirate boxer. Both fighters
showed a willingness to mix it up,
David Breece, fighting in the 145
pound division, and Joe Williams,
the Pirate representative in the 155
pound class, furnished the most spec-
tacular events of the evening's pro-
gram. Breece clearly decisioned
Augur in the bloodiest, most vicious
battle seen here. The Pirate boxer
pounded his opponent to the canvas
several times, but Augur refused to
take a count and came back repeat-
edly for more of the same medicine.
It looked as though the Trojan pugil-
ist was out on his feet several times
but he gamely stuck to the final bell.
Breece had Augur's nose and month
a bloody mass from the second round
on, and the Pirate boxer was also
bleeding freely from a cut over his
eye.
Joe William- won his bout over
Stroud of Louisburg in the 155
pound class by a technical knockout
in the second round. Williams was
clearly a better boxer and puncher
than his opponent, and it was only
a question of time before he put his
man away.

follows:

Answer: About one in one mil-
lion.
Question: Would it be any better
if I lived in Hollywood?
Answer: Xot a bit. You're prob-
ablv better off at home.
Q. But I want to be an actor.
What should I do?
A. Get all the experience you can
in vour high school, university and
Little Theatre plays; get attention
from your dramatic critic. He prob-
ablv will tell you frankly whether
vou have talent. If you do, you
'will find a way into a larger sphere
all right.
Q. Where do talent scouts find
most of their material. ,
A. Mainly in universities and Lit-
tle Theatre's. However, the dance
bands provide material as do the
night clubs. Of the leading women
in "College Swing" Martha Rave
came from the night clubs; Grade
Allen from vaudeville; Betty Grable
from a professional school and Flor-
ence George from Wittenberg Col-
lege.
Q. Suppose that I am invited to
come to Hollywood under a begin-
ner's contract. What are my chances?
A. You have one chance in 30,000
of becoming an extra; if you make
that grade, you have one chance in
lTi.000 of becoming an actor�that
is, of even speaking a line; if you
do get into speaking parts, you have
one chance in 3.000 of reaching the
featured class. So you can figure
it out for yourself.
Q. Well what happens when a
person goes into a studio under a
beginner's contract ?
A. He is placed in training in the
studio school. But the odds against
them remain the same.
Q. Doesn't any inexperienced
player ever get the "breaks?" We
read in the newspapers that they
do sometimes.
A. That does happen. Jack Hub-
bard came to the studio and in three
weeks was working in "The Bucca-
neer" ; Dorothy Howe in two months
started working in "The Big Broad-
cast of 1938 Miss Howe's role is
a substantial role in that picture.
Hubbard's role was a very good role.
Q. How can a studio afford to
maintain these people if it is so
seldom that they succeed ?
A. They pay for themselves by
working as extras and in very minor
roles until the studio can see whether
or not they are worth developing
as major players.
Q. Do all the stars come from the
talent schools? Robert!
A As a matter-of-fact K�ten
Tavlor is the only star who has come
from a talent school. J vl"r'
velopedvery rapidly. But im-t t
the featured players come from a
talent school. There m a difference.
A star is the person who "earner
the load" of the picture. A featured
plaver is a supporting player to the
star. The reason that no other Btara
have developed from the talent
schools is that the schools are too
new. The schools were instituted in
studios to replace vaudeville and
the legitimate stage from which
many of the stars have come. ' '��
other stars were developed by tin-
motion pictures from the old silent
days. The star of the future will
be from the tab-nt schools.
Q. What does a beginner get in
the way of pay?
A. From $50 to $150 a week, de-
pending on the training he or she
has had.
Q. What does a talent scout look

for?
A. First, a distinct personality;
then a person with an appreciation
of his own ego without being egotis-
tical or egocentric: then a person
with a commanding presence, one
who naturally attracts attention in
a crowd; and" finally, a photograph-
Q. Must a person be well-fixed
financially to even get a chance?
A. Xo. Let us look at the back-
ground of some of the people who
have come to Paramount within the
last few months. Jack ilubbard is
the son of a steel executive but
James Craig was a lwokkeeper;
Joyce Mathews is the daughter of
a wealthy man but Dorothy Howe
was a Dallas, Texas telephone oper-
ator, and Terry Ray was a clerk in
a five-and-ten cent store. Richard
Denning is the son of a manufac-
turer but Archie Twitchell was a
worker in the Paramount labora-
tory. Jane Dewey is the daughter
of a university professor. They
come from all walks of life.
