BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Show Business Offers Tragedy, Heart Break for Stage-Struck -—e——— By BILLY ROSE——r—oeoe—eeeoooo—-

As everyone and his Aunt Esmerelda knows, there’s no business like show business for the fortunate few who make the grade. But— In 1946, a stage-struck lass from Nebraska named Judy Peters moved into a boarding house off Times Square and began looking for work in the theatre. As per usual, she was average bright, round of face, figure and eye, and determined to make her mark on the 45th Street marquees.

A few months later, thanks to a stage manager who took a shine to Eer. she got her first part—a three-

line role in a twoact play that lasted four performances. For a solid and sobering year after that, Judy made the rounds, eating the usual health salads and waiting on tables to pay for her furnished (after a fashion) room. It was heart-

and arch-breaking work, but it finally paid off when the Big Chance came along—the second lead in a Shaw revival. .& % ® THE DAY AFTER the play opened out of town, Judy wired her folks they wouldn’t have to help her any more, and when George Jean Nathan singled her out for mention in his review the farm girl figured it was all over but the movie offers. ‘ One swell mnotice, bowever, doth not a star make, and when the play closed after a run of three months, Judy bad to go back to reading the casting notes in Actors’ Cues. By this time ber_ family, fed up with ber show business shenanigans, bad put ber on motice that the only further money she could expect would be truin fare back

to Nebraska. And so, to keep body “and bopes alive, the would-be Helen Hayes went back to waiting on tables. ' Last April, after three grim years of scratch-as-scratch-canning, Judy was handed the script of Keith Winters’ old hit, ‘The Shining Hour,” by the director of a summer stock company. He asked her to bone up on the part of Judy Linden—a typical farm girl whose accent was pure Midwest, and whose face and figure were more silo than sex. THE AUDITION WENT off without hitch or hesitation, and Judy was in the heaven above seventh when the director complimented her on how well she read her lines. He told her he’d let her know definitely the following day, and she went back to her one-room-and-half-bath to wait. The mext night the landlady smelled gas, but by the time the police arrived Judy was dead. On the bed by ber side was the script of “The Shining Hour” opened to the sceme in Act Two where Judy Linden, the farm girl, takes ber own life. The cops, looking for a suicide motive, didn’t have far to lock. Uu the dresser was a note from: the 2t rector;: Sorry, honey. You read the part fine, but I'm afraid you'ie not the type.”
