Ohio'. CLARK GABLE.

By ED SUWVANHollywood, Cal.

HAS IT EVER struck yougirls of the midwest thatyou're darn lucky? Well,

it's high time that it was broughtto your attention, my little chick-adees of the Big Ten sector, be-cause you're living in an areathat must be scented with lotusflowers and other prerequisitesof romance. Most of the greatlovers and heart throbs of thecinema come from the area inwhich you live. Clark Gableand Tyrone Power come fromOhio. Fredric March com e sfrom Wisconsin. Don Amechecomes from Wisconsin. SpencerTracy comes from Wisconsin.Alan Curtis is from Illinois. PhilHarris is from Indiana. FredMacMurray is from Kankakee,Ill. Dennis O'Keefe is fromOhio.There must be something in

the air in the Tribune states toaccount for this fiood of movieheroes. Ohio, of course, musthave some special something tohave produced Gable and TyronePower within the boundaries ofone state. That's not bad.

Maybe if I'd been born in Ohiomy whole career would havebeen altered. Well, it's too latenow.Fredric March is one of the

few Big Ten grads in the higherbrackets of lovemaking. Whenhe was manager -or the Wiscon·sin football team back in 1920,the year that Chuck Carpentercaptained the Badgers and ChickHarley was demoralizing theconference at Ohio State, Marchlittle thought that some yearslater he would be hitting CaroleLombard, an Indiana girl, flushon the chin. It only supports thearguments that have been ad-vanced in favor <ifa college edu-cation', I suppose.March is a Racine, Wis., boy.

His name then was FrederickBickel, but the late Frank Van-derlip, then the head man at theNational City bank in New York,was to change Bickel's name. hisambitions, and his entire life.Not that Vanderlip, the finan-cier, knew that he was going toplay that part in the life of acollege, student he didn't evenknow.

It all happened when Bickelwon a scholarship in his senioryear at Madison. Vanderlip, al-ways in favor of college-trainedmen for his banking empire, hadsent out a notice to all theschools in the land that scholar-ship winners would be welcomedwith open armsto National Cityand would, betrained special-ly for, bankingposts in SouthAmerica. Itsou n d e d likehigh adventure.Bick e1 started Spenc.r Tracylor Wall street, 01 WbcolUln.thinking it wasthe tlrst leg of a trip that wouldtake him to Buenos Aires.Had Vanderlip maintained his

grip upon finance there mighthave been no Fredric March.But Vanderlip was weakening.James Stillman came into Na-tional City at that exact moment.He said that college men weren'tparticularly well qualified forbanking; that he'd rather takehigh school boys and teach themthe banking system. Bickel tookthe hint and quit.And so A Star Was Born.Out of a job and laid up in a

Brooklyn hospital for an appen-dix operation, Frederick Bickel,recently of Racine, Wis., decidedthat he'd become an actor. How-ever, he was very conscious ofthe fact that his Presbyteriankinfolk would resent it. So hetook his mother's maiden name,Marcher, and shortened it toMarch.He did not go on the stage Im-

mediately. He couldn't get ajob. So he became a collar ad-vertisment model. He earnedabout $30 a week from that, andin the meantime he was taking

small bits on the stage wheneverthey presented themselves. Itwas in this manner that he gotinto the Denver stock companywhich was to alter his life, orcomplement it. Playing at Den-ver, he met Florence Eldredge,the girl who is now Mrs. FredricMarch.Miss Eldredge was the big star

then; March was just a theaternovice. When Edgar Selwyncalled them both to New York toreherse for the leads in "TheProud Woman" Miss Eldredgeclicked; March was released andanother player substituted as theleading man. "That was themost embarrassing moment ofmy life," he says. "1wanted tobe a big shot because of Flor·ence. I wanted to show her thather fiance was a somebody. In-stead I was fired."

• • •March says that to him his

greatest screen performanceshave been" A Star Is Born" and"Laughter." His most unpleas-ant rOle was in a picture thatwon him international attention," Dr. Jekyll and 14r.Hyde." Notthat he didn't like the part, butsimply because of the excruciat·ing ordeal of makeup.

••In the first place, because ofthe makeup problem I had to beat the studio every morning at 6o'clock," he says. " Wally West-more would get to work on mymakeup immediately, and it waspretty horrible. First he'd putcollodion under my eyes so thatno perspiration w 0 u Id comethrough. Then he'd have toweigh down the under part ofthe eye with wads of surgicalcotton to force open the eyeball.On top of that, he had to stutlmy nose with rubber plugs. In-stead of teeth I had to use tusks."March has a unique reputation

in Hollywood. Directors will tellyou that he never has given abad performance, even in a badpicture. He, like Spencer Tracy,believes in underplaying a scene.His voice records well. He isvery natural. That type of per-former never 'appears gawky onthe screen, regardless of his ma-terial.His present assignment is

••There Go e s My Heart," inwhich he plays a newspaperman, just as he did in ••NothingSacred." The chuckle in this isthat March will tell you that healways has been scared to deathof newspaper man rOles, becausehe didn't want the gentlemen ofthe press to come down on himwith a critical deluge of unpleas-ant proportions."I finally decided that if I'd

just act natural I'd be all rightas a newspaper man," he says.His characterization of the news-paper man in "Nothing Sacred"I thought was the finest everdone on the screen. He didn'trely on a turned-down gray hatto prove that he was a reporter.What kind of person is this

March? A thoroughly nice per-son, with a good sense of humor,a nice modesty. Racine, Wis., isto be congratulated.

of one of Holly-wood's well and faVOrablyknown actors, Gene Raymond.He will be 30 years old. He wasborn in New York City, Aug. 13,1908, and actually began his ca-reer in the field of entertainmentat the age of 15. Until he blos-somed out as a stage actor in1924 with a part in •.The Pot-ters," after having put in aboutfive years of study at the Pro-fessional Children's school inNew York, he was known as Ray-mond Guion - Guion being thefamily name. Among his betterknown stage rOles were thoseof "Cradle Snatchers," ••YoungSinners," and "Take My Ad-vice." His earlier appearanceson the screen were in "PersonalMaid" and "Ladies of the BigHouse." Since 1932 he has ap-peared in more than thirty pic-tures, including "Flying Downto Rio," ••Seven Keys to Bald-pate," and "That G i r I fromParis." On June 16, 1937, Geneand Jeanette MacDonald, star ofmany musical films, were mar-ried in the Wilshire MethodistEpiscopal church in Los Angeleswhile more than 5,000 moviefans milled around outside thechurch. The couple passed theirhoneymoon in Hawaii. Five feetten inches tall and weighing 165pounds, young Mr. Raymond isa handsome chap, although theperfect wave in his hair irks himno little. His chief hobby ishorseback riding.

Her father, aFrench World

war veteran, wasa famous eye spe-

cialist. Her motheris a noted voice teach-

er. Danielle was edu-cated at Lycee la Tour

and the Conservatory ofMusic of Paris, where she

studied the violoncello. Aspreviously related, she got herchance in the movies at the ageof 14 and took it. Since that dayshe has starred in almost a scoreof hits, Includtng' the prize-win.ning "Mayerling." Mlle. Dar-rieux, who made her Americanfilm debut.in "The Rage ofParis," has large, luminous eyesand copper hair. Her name, bythe way, is pronounced as thoughit were spelled Dan·yell Dar,yuh.

VIRGINtA Born almost in theGREY shadows of Holly-

wood's vast film stu-dios and of a father who wasassociated with the movie pro-fession as a comedy director, itwas only natural that VirginiaGrey should turn to the screen.She was born twenty years agolast March 22, and while shestill was a little girl she beganpreparing for a career by study-ing dancing. She wB:s one of thefamous 'Meglin Kiddies and atthe age of 9 began playing bitsand parts, most important ofWhich was as Little Eva in" Uncle Tom's Cabin." As an ex-pert dancer she applied for andwas accepted as one of the glorl-fied girls of "The Great Zieg.feld." Because of this part shewas remembered by Metro-Gold-wyn .Mayer when that studiowas seeking a stand - in forMadge Evans. Then she waskept on as a stand-in for Flor·ence Rice. Her great momentcame when she was chosen forthe leading feminine rOle in theminiature musical, "Violets inthe Spring." Her work in thatshort subject was so outstandingthat she was signed to a termcontract and played in "OldHutch" in 1936. Other produe-tions in which she has appearedinclude "She Gets Her Man,""Secret Valley," "Rosalie," and, ••Bad Guy." Miss Grey is fivefeet four inches tall, weighs 120pounds, and is a natural blonde,although in "The Great Zieg·feld " she was a platinum blonde.

Dear Miss Tinee: You have probablyalready heard high praise from the" Voiceof the Movie Fan" about the splendid per-formance of Bette Davis in ••Jezebel."Although the picture has been producedand played for some time, I just recentlyhad the opportunity ot seeing it. My feel·ing toward the acting ab1llty of Miss Davishas been strengthened and I feel thatthroughout the picture she seemed actu-ally to live her rOle.I feel that those of your readers who

have not yet seen "Jezebel" are missinga worth-While picture and have a greattreat in store for them.I remain, sincerely,

Carolyn Tyler in her criticism of ••In OldChicago." Why the picture was not boy·cotted after its premiere here Is beyondcomprehension. The only thing in connec-tion with it worth looking at was the fineexhibit of relics and antiques loaned bythe Chicago Historical society and dis·played in the foyer of the theater, butwhich had no bearing whatsoever on theplay.The novel ••We, the O'Learys" is not

obtainable at the library, 10 that I do notknow what the O'Learys had to do withold Chicago according to the novel, which
