Arnold Declares Ability to Stay in Profession ~ More Important Than Ranking as Star;

BY RUTH M'TAMMANY Times Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, May 28.—Edward Arnold reached screen stardom -in Jim,” a character portrayal which will remain long in the s of those who saw him as the good-hearted, diamond-bedecked

scenes together are a treat to me who will keep to the theater method of quick emotionalization even if it does make lines around the eyes.” Mickey Rooney, the husky voiced, yellow haired boy who played
“Puck” in “A Midsummer Night's |
Dream,” and the bootblack in “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” has again been cast in an outstanding role. He is a jockey in the Warner production “Blood .Lines,” and it is the. most important role Mickey has ever played. “I like it—its fast, furious and exciting,” said Mickey. “I ride a horse called Faithful in the Kentucky Derby and I ride for the Maharajah of India in a race at Ascot, England. Of course I get into all. kinds of trouble with race track gamblers but I ride a winner. “This picture business is -a serious affair with me. I am 15 and 1 have been in if for 11 years. Now a fellow who has followed one track of action for 11 years knows something about the workings of the industry. Three years ago, I made up my mind I was going to be a motion picture director. You see, I've been taking orders all these years and when I am 21, I want to give a few myself. Yes m'am and there’s another angle to it. A director has to be a creator, he’s got to know people and he’s got to be a business man. That's a lot, isn’t it? Well, it's a more interesting career than acting, any day. Some people think I'd make a good character man; maybe I would but I'm looking for more ‘punch’ than that. By the time I'm 21, I'll have all the acting, character or otherwise, I want. Look at Mr. Van Dyke who made “Trader Horn,” and a hundred big pictures; he started in
Tan when he was a baby and acted for
a good many years. He's come up through every branch of the business and there’s nothing he doesn’t know. Well; I can do the same thing. “When I get through with “Blood Lines,” I'm going to play in “The Devil's A Cissy,” with Freddie Bartholomew and Jackie Cooper. That will be something, you bet. Freddie’s a swell boys to work with and so is Cooper. I suppose I will be wearing the old clothes, I always do. Yes, if there’s a tough guy around, that'll have to be me. That's ,| why I like this part I'm playing now—Snapper Sinclair is his name
‘and oh, boy, does he ride a horse!”
Mary Brian, who has been in England, dancing and singing in Charlot’s Revue, recently returned to Hollywood to play in Walter Wanger’s ‘‘Spendthrift.” She has the female lead in a cast which includes Henry Fonda and George Barbier. “I was glad to get back, but I haven't had a day in which to see my old friends. ¥ went right to work ‘as soon as I got here and now they are cabling me from England to come back when I finish this production. I shall probably go. I like England. I think most Americans do. But the role I am playing
