A Unnecessary Request
it Good Screamer Works
---By Vlrglaia Vale---
^HERE’S no telling where
1 the current wave of matri-
mony that is sweeping Holly-
wood will stop. Practically all
of the movie colony’s famous
romances either have landed
their participants at the altar
or will do so soon.
Of course, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.
rather startled the general public
with his selection of a bride; the
charming Mrs. Mary Hartford was
what would be called, in racing
circles, a dark horse.

When Kate Smith celebrated her
ninth anniversary as a radio star
she sang the four songs that she
presented on her initial broadcast:
"I Surrender, Dear,” “By the River
St. Marie,” “Dream a Little Dream
of Me,” and “Please Don’t Talk
About Me When I'm Gone." When
making up her program for her first
broadcast she put in that last num-
ber because she felt none too sure
that she'd be a success on the air.

The next time that you hear your
favorite screen heroine let out a
piercing scream, the chances are
that it will be Sarah Schwartz who
actually does the screaming.
She is Hollywood’s prize scream- ,
er, capable of curdling any audi-
ence’s blood when she really puts
her mind on it.
The other day Director James
Whale was making a scene in “The
Man in the Iron Mask” in which
Louis Hayward, as King Louis XIV,
was about to be attacked by assas-
sins as he rode along in his coach.
A good screamer was needed, so
Sarah Schwartz was sent for, joined
the milling throngs, and screamed
her head off when Director Whale
gave the signal. She’s been doing
that sort of thing for years, and
works pretty regularly—earns more,
in fact, than many a would-be singer
who tries to make musical sounds.

It looks as if Bette Davis would
be receiving another “Oscar” when
the Motion Picture Academy
> Awards are handed out for this
year. “Dark "Victory" is the pic-
ture in which she turned in such a
grand performance that even the
people who never liked her work be-
fore are now dancing in the streets
and telling all their friends about it.
--*--
Felix Knight, tbe young tenor who
has climbed so far and so fast as
a radio star, is so enthusiastic about
his vocal teacher that he has estab-
lished two scholarships, enabling
two young singers to work for a
year with Mebane Beasely.
“He took me,” says Knight, “with
almost no voice to speak of and
shortly increased my range more
than an octave.” So now, each
year, two more young singers will
have the opportunities that Knight
had.

If you listen Id Jack Benny’s Sun-
day night programs you’re acquaint-
ed with “Rochester,” his Negro
servant. You can see him in “Gone
With the Wind,” as "Uncle Peter”;
you probably saw Kim in “Jezebel”
and “In Old Kentucky.” His name
is Eddie Anderson.

You’ve seen Bill Robinson, the
great tap dancer, in pictures with
Shirley Temple, of course. But did
you know that they are good friends,
and that he telephones her several
times a week, no matter where he
may be. He called her from New
York recently, just before he went
on the air—he talked to h«r mother,
and asked if Shirley might be al-
lowed to stay up late enough to hear
his performance. Let's hope that
she did; it was a good one.
