Hays Office Sends Ambassador Over Nation to Combat Work of Bogus Agents Preying On Filmstruck Folks.

Harold Rose wishes that people would start applying to Hollywood # well-known recitalist, is on the that inevitable tourist remark about New York:

Or, as Mr. Rose more pointedly puts it, “—it's an awful place to College, and also conducts private

In fact, it is to spread this gospel that he has traveled 36,000 miles

in 18 states since June 1, driving a pint-size car which is covered With 522 film players’ signatures, Mr. Rose, who has been pressagenting around the film capital for 22 years, was sent on his pilgrimage by the Hays office. His purpose is to discourage screen-struck youngsters from coming to Hollywood. And, even more important, to warn them against bogus “talent scouts” who are touring the country. Gives Tip on Offers

Mr. Rose says there is one sure test of a scout’s authenticity, If a smooth-looking stranger comes to your door, representing himself as a studio representative, simply ask him: “How much will it cost?” If he says the screen test will cost anything, the man’s a phoney, SAYS Mr, Rose, The way the shysters usually work is as follows, according to the tours ing Hays representative, One of them meets & tourist party in, say, the Brown Derby in Hollywood. Some movie stars come in, “Hi ya, Clark (or Joan, Gary, Claudette, ete),” says the “talent seout.,” The star, affable by necessity, returns the greeting. Perhaps the tourists are introduced to the glamorous one, And naturally they are impressed,

Explains ‘Airtight’ Racket

They go home and tell the neighbors about their meeting with the “big executive,” And one day their friend comes to town, as he had promised he would. He is enters tained, and meets some likely prospects, After that it is comparatively easy to offer screen tests from $50 up. And there is no redress. For the victim signs & contract and actual-

Mr. Rose explains. He says there probably are 200 fake talent scouts operating throughout the country today, as against perhaps 40 or 50 accredited ones. And the formers’ annual haul he estimates in the millions, He has talked to more than 5000 persons who have been fleeced by this racket, he says. And yet his most persistent question is, “But how CAN 1 get into the movies?”

‘Experience Counts’

The only procedure, says Mr. Rose, is to get some experience in

vour local school or theater, or in & |

dramatic school. Then go to New York. And if you succeed in getting & part and a scout likes your work, you're on your way to Hollywood usually. “Your chances in Hollywood are a million to one, while you have
