John M. Stahl made John Boles
what he is today as a dramatic actor.
John M. Stahl has made! Another-
star. This other star is the girl he
chose to play the part of Mary Lane
in “Only Yesterday,” coming Sunday
and Monday to the Leroy ^Theatre.
Her name is Margaret Sullavan and
he saw her playing in New York in
“Dinner at Eight.” Several tests
were made and they pleased Stahl
so much that he even declared he
would not make the picture unless
he could have Margaret Sullavan.
Why Margaret Sullavan accepted the
part is harder to explain. She had
already turned down three moving
picture offers fox* more money than
Universal offered her. Instead of
taking one $1500 a week offer, she
went into stock at $50 a week. But
something impelled her to take the
role of Mary Lane in “Only Yester-
day” on the promise that if she liked
the movies, she would stay in them,
and if she didn’t, Universal would
give her the privilege of going back
on the stage.

There was no doubt in their minds

that will be your verdict, too.
It was an unusually tough prob-
lem to get a girl with the looks, the
experience and the dramatic fire to
play Mary Lane. After he had in-
terviewed 250 aspirants for the role,,
this is what Stahl himself had to
say of the part and. the requirements
for the one who would play it satis-
factorily.
“I believe that eventually she will
be found in the ranks of film players
already in Hollywood,” he says. “The
main trouble has been in this case
that the woman capable of playing
the role must be capable of express-
ing every human emotion. She must
be intelligent beyond her years, for
she must live through thirteen years
of her life in a few short weeks. She
must have the understanding of an
older woman, for she must grow and

pass through the travail of mother-

“To run this gauntlet of human
emotions convincingly, so that she
will be able to make girls of 18 and
women of 31 believe her, she must
have an extraordinary talent. While
I am not discouraged, my search for
such a player has taught me that
there are few competent players not
under contract to major studios at
the present time, and that there is a
genuine need for more talent in
Hollywood.”
In spite of all that Stahl thought
and said, Margaret Sullavan filled
every requirement and turned in one
of the grandest performances in
screen history. Stardom will be her
reward.

There have been tales told about
the absent-minded professor, but have
you heard the latest about the ab-
sent-minded bxdde, Mrs. Shaw Norris,
who is one of our faculty ?
On leaving the church after the
wedding, Mrs. Norris was presented
with a telegram congratulating her
and her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Nox--
ris were very excited and in a hurx-y;
as-a result of confusion, Mrs. Norris
thrust her bride’s bouquet into the
hands of a messenger boy and dash-
ed off. The boy stood for a moment
very bewildered while he was trying
to understand why a bride should
give him her bouquet. Suddenly, he
realized that she had not signed for
the message and ran after her say-
ing, “Hey, lady, wait a minute.
Please, sign for this telegram.”

names or as some might say, named

The other day I was having a lit-
tle chat (don’t ask me what that is)
with Maurine Greeson, aixd naturally
she was telling me all her troubles.
The way she talked, she is practical-
ly a nervous wreck right xxow.s Any
way, there was one thing she told
me that surely has me puzzled. She
said, “You know my corns on my
feet are bothering me lately, it must
be the weather.” Dear me, that was
news to me, I always thought corn
grew in fields, not on feet. I won-
der if she waters and plows • the
corn on her feet. Boy, I’d hate to
eat it when it grew there.
Oh, I heard the cruelest thing the
other day. It was too awful. We
were on senior day, you know, and
Jewel Jones, who was the junior we
worked down, was trying to build a
fire to cook the meat. Any way,
when I saw hiixx he must have been
plenty mad at the old fire, because
he was doiixg the cruelest thing. He
was just striking, a poor defenseless
match. Isn’t that too, too terrible?
IIow cruel.
I’ve come to a conclusion at last.
Mr. Park is funny (tee hee, I hop6
he reads this). Lately he’s been try-
ing to get some new pupils for Miss
Tompkins. At least, I guess that’s
what he’s doing, because every day
he tells Ellen May Bailey that she
should mend her ways and the only
way she can sew her ways is to
learn hoixie econoixxics under Miss
Tompkins. Maybe he’s tired of so
jxxany students in his class and is
ti’ying to pixt them in Miss Tomp-
kins’ class.
And while I’xxi at it (don’t ask jne
what I’m at), let me tell you soxne-
thing else Mr. Park said in Commer-
cial law class. He’s always saying-
somebody took something in good
faith. Now, that sure worries me,
maybe I’nx abnorxnal, because I al-
ways *take things in my hands, unless
I’m eating something. Dear me,
maybe I’m not like other people.
Such is life.
Did you loxow that they’re making
a different kind of car xxow. I guess
they are, Mary Frances Casbeer told
Luxdine Creekmox’e, president of
the Junior Pierian Club, entertained
the members with a slumber party
at her home Friday night, April 6.

tato chips. The remainder of the
night was spent playing bridge.

first junior gixd to attend the senior
all day picnic. Thais was captured
by a senior gild, Thursday afternoon,
and held at her home until the next
morning. The girl’s pax-ents were in-
formed of her whereabouts so that
they would not be alarmed.
“I had to help prepare lunch,” re-
plied Thais, when a;sked how much
she worked, “and although the wox*k
was not hax’d, I peeled onions until I
lost my appetite.” Thais said that
she had a fine time on the picnic
and that the swimming was gx-eat.

TALENT AND GRIT TRIUMPH
IN “MORNING GLORY’
When a rare star such as Kather-
ine Hepburn is given a vehicle that
gives her full scope, a dazzling per-
formance is assured.
That is just what is offered in her
powerful new di-ama, “Morning
Glory,” which is showing at the Bai-
ley Theatre. You will all remem-
ber her romantic charm in “Little
Women.”
Great characterizations are woven
in a highly dramatic and intensely
interesting stoiy. Added interest is
attached to the story through its re-
semblance in many details to actual
events of Miss Hepbuim’s real life
cax-eer.
Briefly, the dx-ama centers about
a gixd’s gallant sti*uggle for success
on the New Yox-k stage, and her final
tidumph after bitter disappointments
and ci’uel experiences. The gixd of
the story is an amazing mixtux-e of
genius, .naive enthusiasm, tromancje
and coux-age.
Not a backstage production in any
sense of that term, “Moi*ning Glory”
can be fittingly described as an epic
of devotion to an ideal and unselfish
life. It is around her struggle and
a unique love triangle that the in-
terest centers.
Miss Hepburn again proves her
right to consideration as one of the
greatest stars of screen history. Far
from being a “flash in the pan,” this
dynamic actx-ess not only repeats the
triumphs she won in “A Bill of Di-
vorcement” and “Christopher Stx-ong”
but even improves upon them with
her amazingly under-standing inter-
pretation of the girl in “Morning
Glory.”
Douglas Fair-banks, Jr. co-stax-x*ed
with Miss Hepburn, gives a tremend-
ously sympathetic and effective char-
acterization as a young playwright
who believes in the gixd, champions
her when her prospects are darkest,
and teaches her the meaning of ideal-
istic love.
Adolph Menjou is at his polished
best as a debonair and foi-ceful
theatrical producer.
