OLLYWOQOOD, Sept. 18.—If you'd watched LeRoy Prinz skipping about while teaching some kids the steps in a vaudeville routine for “The Star Maker,” you'd never guess that the short, stocky dance director is the toughest guy in Hollywood. If he isn't, there's nobody who has successfully disputed the title, although quite a few have tried. Just lately he broke some more bones in his right hand by unlimbering his Sunday punch. that, d Prinz has been fighting and dancing ever since he ran away from | regular | home in St. Joseph, Mo., at the | | age of 15.

Plays by juvenile actors for voung audiences, rather than the development of “prodigies,” is the announced aim of Miss Emily Mae Johnson, whose Children’s Theater and Radio School is to open this week. Miss Johnson intends to develop poise and appreciation of good drama and literature in her new| venture, and to provide children] with entertainment designed for their own tastes and needs, rather than the adult and often overstimulating film and radio fare which they now receive.
