By ALICE ALDEN New York, Dec. 13. — Do you want Junior to lie a movie star? Well, if you do, see that he goes to college, is popular on the cam- ' pus, and develops a likeable personality. And it is quite possible that before he is a finished academic product, some enterprising movie producer will grab him oft the campus and transfer him to the lot. And then there will be another collegiate star with a plentiful dash of IT and the power to sway the hearts of admiring maiders the world over. And tlie beauty of it is that the boy who is dumb in class has an equal chance with tlie star scholar to crash the movies and gather in tlie shekels. But it isn't as though these college boys don't get a chance to complete their education. They may be spotted while they are still burning the midnight oil to study for their exams. But whether it is by accident or design, the movie moguls generally let their find bear the valedictory! address and then snatch him from a future of bond selling or whatever it is that college grads incline to now. Richaid Cromwell was studying art in a Western college, working to make his childhood dreams of some day becoming a great artist, come true. His mother worked mid made countless sacrifices that her son might fulfil his destiny.

I With these tees, he paid his col-: 'ege tuition. Then he began to lie: known in the movie colony and j was signed by Columbia Pictures | to play 'the lead in “Tol'able. David."

I most of the other college stars I seem insignificant when contrasted with tlie famous pair. Buddy, ! who was a student at the University of Kansas when he begun his : fltn career, has brought his alma 'mater much renown just m tlie I popular crooner lias advertised ' Yale and tlie University of Maine. Perhaps some of the faculty members of various academic institutions do frown on such methods of making their beloved college known to the world, hut they shouldn't. Botli Buddy and Rudy have helped to popularize their respective alma maters and have brought them increased enrollments. E pecially is this so of the i’niversity of Maine whoee “Stein Song" lias made the college known to everyone. Jolinny Mack Brown is another most successful college boy. His uthletic feats on tlie Alabama University team, together with his ! looks mid personality, won him a lucrative screen contract. The rest 'of the story can be told by the I flocks of movie sane to whom Jolinny is a hero. if a boy lias movie aspirations, it might not be a bad idea for 1 him to enroll at tlie Iceland Stanford lor. this is tlie college nearest the Hollywood studios and tlie boys I are often called on for “extra" jobs.
