In other word Maurice Evans and Helen Hat os 5 are| going to bring “Richard II” and | “Victoria Regina” to itown. 1e season of 1936-37 was enough to make anyone |British-conscious. Wiile Kin: Edward VIII was abdicaiing, becp! ning the Duke of Windsor and get thing married; while his brat her was being crowned George Vi‘iin the oiggest show of the|century (Billy Rose notwithstanding). things important and English were - happening on the New York boards. Queen Victoria, the above gentlemen’s grandmother, in the person of Miss Haves, was holding forth at the Broadhurst, while across the street—at the St. James, as it should be—their more remote pridecessor. Richard II. was seen as Porirayed “oy Mr. Evans. § Court to Be Held Here
Now these two plays, after the two great triumphs of the New York cezson, are going on tour.: Richard api Victoria will hold court thitoughout the land, and I indianapolis is one of the fortunate cities thitt will welcome them. ! Ar. Evans achieved the impossiblé¢ with his “Richard II,” and wound up his season with critics and piiblic unanimously singing his praises as our greatest | Englishspeaking actor. Mr. Evans: shouldn't have attempted the play; everyotie knew that before it~ opened. “Richard II” hadn't beer given in NeW “York-in more than, 50 years, and there must have been a reason for its neglect. Likewise New York had had about :as much hakespeare as it could stand, John Gielgud and Leslie Howard each had starred in “Hamlet. Also it was getting well on in th: season— the marke: was crowded: with new things, and prospects looked black for. Mr. Evans, his producers and the Bard. . Well, it’s a heartening ' thing to see what happened. It is good to kisow that artistry of playwright and interpreter can draw them to the bcx office in this mundane present. It is better to know that Mr. Evans hasn't forgotten “the toad.” and that English’s impresario, Vincent Biirke, has remembered Lis patrons.
& Movie Houses Help
‘Before leaving Mr. Evans. it "should be added that he will take his production to cities Which have seen few [fesh-and-blooc actors in the past 10 years or so. This is possible through the co-operation of picture. theater managers, who will interrupt [their cinema ® policy to permit a one-night Siang of Shake-

Miss Heyes’ success in the Laurence Houseman episodic drama of England's beloved queen is a familiar story by now. The play ran two seasons and was Slaying to crowded houses when i: closed in May. There is enough reliable authority for one to say with safety that “Victoria Regina” is a triumph inn makeup as well as performance by one of America’s foremost actresses. : i Nor are these plays all that we Have to [anticipate. Though Mr. Burke, with a vacation a week Hence, was about as interested in fishing tackle as in the drama, he mentioned a few other current or recent successes which probaby will take to the road. Among them he mentioned “Tovarich,” “Having Wonderful , Time,” “Brother Rat,” “Yes, My Darling Daughter,” “The Women” and maybe “Room Service.” : Probably there are others, but I couldn't bear to press Mr. Burke. After all, one has to respect the icelings of 2 man with a fly rod in nis hand 2ad the northern Wiscon¢in lakes in his mind.

few pleasant superstitions. That is a composite of the “starlets” nominated for real stardom by a local studic. They are Gloria Dickson, Doris Weston, Beverly Roberts, Jane Bryan and Jane Wyman. The manner in which the nominations came about provides an insight into modern movie methods. Every large studio has a corps of younger players. The production chiefs hope they all succeed because having stars under contract means profits. So they give the young players varying roles, study them, encourage them: But how to tell whether they are succeeding? What does the public think of them? The busy Hollywood hosses can not know the reactions of audiences in 48 states and a score of nations. = But, hundreds of film salesmen. branch managers. bookers and other employes scattered around the world do know.
Hit the Mark Last Year
So last year the studio hit upon a simple Bet nove! plan of asking these men, representing millions of moviegoers, for their opinions. Thay nominated Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Anita Louise, Humphrey Bogart and Dick ‘Foran. All since have become full-fledged stars. This year the movie “legislature” named five “starlets” and three male players — Kenny Baker, featured singer on Jack Benny’s air show who now is playing the lead in Mervyn LeRoy’s “Mr. Dodd Takes the Air”; Wayne Morris, the tall, husky youth who moved into the upper ranks 2s “Kid Galahad” in the picture of that name; John Litel, the Broadway actor whose short color film, “Give Me Liberty,” won the Academy Award and who hit the cinema heights in “Marked. Woman,” with Bette Davis. Found on Federal Stage
But to return to our “starlets” and their pattern for success. Here's a brief paragraph describing each: GLORIA DICKSON — Born in Idaho, 5 feet 3 inches _in height; weighs 116 pounds, with grayblue eyes and long, straw-blond hair. | Discovered by Mervyn LeRoy on a Federal Theater Project stage, she'll first be seen in “The Deep South.” JANE WYMAN—Born souri; 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighs 116 pounds, with brown hair and eyes.

She graduated from Jean Muir's experimental theater to Westerns and progressed to “Marked Woman” and “Kid Galahad.” Movie aspirants constantly ask if there's any one path to stardom. The careers of thé: five successful “starlets” prove there is not. Each came from a different state, each had different training, each arrived at Hollywood by different routes. They have but one thing in common—the indefinable but priceless thing called “audience appeal.” Of that stars are made.

cided on Cheering or Cursing Over Report.
HOLLYWOOD, June 14.—(NEA) — Persistent reports
that Kenneth Duncan, an ob-
scure Canadian actor now in England, had been signed for the role of Rhett Butler in “Gone With the Wind,” have been scuttled by Mr. Duncan himself.
After David Selznick’s decision
—Wwhen he failed to borrow Clark Gable from M-G-M—to cast unknowns in the principal roles, it was widely stated that Mr. Duncan had been signed and was in Hollywood. It was even reported hy people who know him that they had seen and talked with him here.
However, sleuths report from Lon :
don that Mr. Duncan denies having signed or even having received an offer of the part. Mr. Duncan,. 31 and good looking, does not know whether to cheer or curse over the report. “Naturally,” he said, “any man would be pleased to be offered an important role in what’ promises to be a very important picture. Bub the fact is, I have not even been approached.”
